I apologize if this info is old news but it appears that I must post some new member stuff in order to get going around here, so I'll throw in my two cents about my Ego-T (B). In brief, it's brilliant. I can't recommend it enough. I won't go into detailed specs; I don't think minutiae is necessary here. Here's the list:

Battery - Nothing new here. Still great. Two or three charged 650s will get practically anyone through a day. 1000s even better, though I don't really think they're worth the extra money. Take a passthrough with you and forget your worries. Lot's of options. Super fast charging for all, very rugged (ran one over with a 700 lb panther camera dolly and it's fine) and easy to clean. Also, I haven't been able to drown one with a leak yet (leaks from original ego that is). Can't kill em.

Atomizer - Honestly, its amazing. Really. I've read some complaints about flavor (always changing with new PVs, I know) and I did have to work it out but if you mix your own juice (MIX YOUR OWN JUICE. DO IT.) you can tailor your recipes to the idiosyncrasies of the atties. A little tweaking will pay dividends. It definitely doesn't like 100% VG, which irked me at first, but I've found 3:1 to be a fine compromise without losing much vapor at all. Current atty has lasted two months and going strong. Super easy to clean; nightly brush with pipe cleaner/q-tip and an occasional distilled water flush. No solvents needed. Eck.

The TANK - Best thing ever. Come on! I used to refill my old ego tips every 10-15 minutes at least. Goo everywhere; seriously those things were like petri dishes. I only need to refill my tank two times in a day, so I don't mind taking the time to wash up and take it easy(not that it takes more than 30 seconds...) I did have a leaking problem at first, but it was because I wasn't really jamming the tank in; the plastic endcap needs to click in. I highly advise purchasing the flexible replacement caps (really inexpensive). They make a much better seal and they wont wear out and leak eventually like the hard stock ones do. Ta friggin da. Barely any leaking ever. Also you can pop out the mouthpiece cap as well for removing condensation and for cleaning/sterilization.

I do apologize for the hyperbole but this system has completely changed the way I vape. It's no longer a high-maintenance, tedious and at times unsanitary slog but rather a stress-less and dependable breeze. I charge up and do a quick cleanup in the evening and I'm good all day. The nightly care takes no longer than 5 minutes. I keep a 10ml bottle of juice, an extra battery and a spare atty (never needed it) with me during the day. If you're a sand-hog or garbage man I would suggest taking a whole prefilled tank instead of refilling. Plug and play.

A final note. I abuse this thing. I'm on the move all day and it gets banged and slammed and dropped and kicked and lost and found and occasionally run over. NOTHING has broken on me yet. Not one part of batt/atty/tank. This isn't a "Day Two and a half ego-t Report" hasty post. It's been months and I'm thoroughly satisfied. Thanks for reading. I hope everyone else with this system is having as good a go with it as I am.
 
I second all the above and having tried both the type a and type b, the difference is night and day. The type B hold more, leak less, and deliver far more flavor than the old type A. I prefer the flavor out of the type B tanks to stock mega type b cartomizers

Love my A type but I am thinking about trying the B due to the larger tank... maybe it will keep me away from the black money hole of MOD. ;)

Your review makes me want a B tank! Thanks for the info. I've read the flavor is muted with tanks. It can't be as muted as your juice filtering through carto material, right?

I have noticed that some flavors are a little less sharp through the tank syst. than they are when I drip-test a mix (straight to an original ego SR atty); to compensate for this I simply add more of whatever isn't coming though as strong. Fixed. Of course this is only an option if you DIY. Or I suppose you could try boosting premixes with splashes of each other. It is really amazing how just a drop or two of something seemingly quite uncomplimentary can act as an intensifier. Which is why I advocate DIY and making mistakes as often as possible. Many are happy ones. As far as carto filler is concerned... I'm trying to forget that it ever existed. It's not hard at all.

omaha, ne
nice write up. i too find the B's to be much better than the A's, they should just discontinue the A's alltogether, i think they do more disservice to the ego name than anything else. about the only thing that i found the A's any good for were the menthol/mint flavors.

if you haven't yet, look into some of the ego/smok dual coil cartomizers, i found them to be even better than the tankB in terms of volume of liquid, and taste. cheaper as well... now i have to see how long they last.
 
This sounds like a good choice for me. I'm getting back into e-cigs after falling off the wagon two years ago during a vacation. Any suggestion on the best place to buy this model? BTW it sure looks like things have changed a lot since I went back to regular cigarettes. Back then I was using a 510 with a manual battery and filled my own cartridges to save money. Can I do that with this model?

I bought my original Ego from Pure Smoker- the price was right and shipping was fine. I bought the Tank setup from MyFreedomSmokes.com- now those guys are awesome. I actually ordered two incompatible parts by mistake and they called me up to make sure I wasn't being an illiterate. Within hours, really. I've never had any company extend me that courtesy (this was also my first ever order from the site) and I don't expect it from others. So of course I highly recommend these guys- in addition to the great customer service they have the best prices I have seen by FAR and you can get everything you need there. You can fill the tanks with any juice you want; I do recommend buying the ingredients and mixing your own- that's actually where the real saving is. My conservative estimate for what I spend on juice is $1.76 per 15 mL. No premix can beat that.
