Looking to buy a tank system as my on the go vape.

The only one I can relate to is the eGO-T and its been a pain (though it lasted me 8 months) so looking to upgrade.

Can anybody compare all the new gen tank system and compare it to the eGO-T?

Should I just keep using the eGO-T? I have used both the Type A and B for the eGO-T.

Thanks all.

Oh forgot to add the Boge Vec also.
 
What exactly is your problems with the eGo-T? I've been doing lots of testing and just got sent the VEC Tank Atty and the Innokin 510 TANK Atomiser. As I haven't revieved them yet I can not comment on them. My eGo-T's work well, with only experiencing a leak once, but could have been due to the amount of drinking that night that I did not pop the tank in properly. Other than that I have had no problems with it at all. It's a bit of a juice monstor though, but considering the type of juice feeding system that it is I can understand.

Have you tried LR Mega Cartos yet? I'm on them for this week giving them a bash. Much warmer vapor and seem to work well on PG based juice and a 50/50. I have not tried them yet on VG based.

I'm hoping the LR Tank atty that I ordered combines my love that I have for the two different systems.

I have been a fairly constant user of the eGo-T for approximately 6 months. A leak problem every now and then but nothing major or frequent enough to want to switch. Use type-A tanks. Complaint with the eGo-T is life of atty and relative high replacement expense (There are some cheapo "eGo-T like" attys. But results can be very poor with some of the "likes". Very unpredictable.) Recently did purchase a Lea. Good system. Small sized tank (probably ~ 0.9 ml) but acceptable for me. Tank has soft end cap for connection at atty spike. No leaks at all for me to date. Lea is a pen style and have found the pocket clip very convenient. Has an off mode to make pocket firing impossible. Has multi-colored button to advise of charge state. However, you might look around on ECF for problems with Lea. Apparently some have had defects where bat fires constantly. Not an issue for me but maybe just the luck of the draw. Again, Lea is nice but not significantly different than eGo-T. Atty for it on pricey side as well. Lea uses a proprietary connection so eGo-T atty will not work on Lea bat. Another positive feature of Lea compared to ordinary eGo-T bat is Lea bat can continue to be used while charging. Done again though, I would probably just stick with eGo-T and forgo the Lea. The greater universality of the bat connection of the eGo bat seems to make the eGo-T the better choice. (There is a product called an eGo booster that converts an eGo bat to variable voltage. Perhaps you would view that as an "upgrade".)

To the op, I agree with jw50. I had the Lux for 4 months and both batts. dies simutaniouly!! bummer. I just received an ego-t and love it. I bought it as a pass thru and find it fits well while I hear back from my supplier of the Lux. I vape it at work then screw on the end cap and it last long throught the night and beyond. After taking it off charge went to a party that night chained it and was off the next day for a full day of tv to relax and found it vaped for 19 hours straight before plugging it back in. I wish the cord was longer. the end result was it has more choices for mega cartos from 3.5 ml, 1.8ml to1 ml. I got mine from the vapor Room and couldn't be happier. Now I get my juice, cartos and batts from one supplier. Good luck.

This was an issue for pretty much all Leas, but not a serious one IMO. It only happened if you tried to use the battery shutoff while the battery was fully charged and plugged in, which most people are not likely to do. Plus, if it happened to you it would happen to you while the Lea was in your hand, and all it takes to stop it is to momentarily unplug the USB cable.

Most everyone who tried to replicate the problem was able to, but in many cases it would take a number of tries to get it to malfunction. The problem has apparently been fixed by Innokin, so new batteries being sold now won't do this, but given the obscurity of the problem, I wouldn't worry about it anyway.



Also, I can compare the Lea to the Leo tank. The Lea is a nicer size, looks better, has a pen clip on the cap, smarter battery, more flavor. The Leo has a bigger batter (800 instead of 650), slightly bigger vapor, slightly more throat hit.

Just an update to my op. Modern vapor replaced both of my Lux batts. Great service from those folks. Must have been a blown mosfet chip. I find the EgoT more versatile for more attys and cartos and am thinking ordering an ego booster for vv. Just wanted to set the record straight.

I would stick with the eGo-T and just use Type B LR Tank attys. The performance on these is awesome. Or you could get the e-power and be even happier.

The e-power uses a removable, rechargeable battery. You can get the one that uses a 14650 or they also have one that uses an 18650 battery. This option is much better in my opinion than the eGo-T and the e-powers are also 3.7v regulated which means they will vape at 3.7v until the battery dies. The eGo on the other hand slowly decreases in voltage and ends up only vaping around 3.2 to 3.3 volts consistently after you used it for about 30 mins off the charger.

You can find the e-power here: e-Power

Don't think I agree on the battery information. A Joye eGo-T battery (no different than a Joye eGo batt) is pulse width modulated. The pulse width changes as discharged to produce a consistent voltage through is discharge period. In its discharge cycle it will read a consistent 3.4 volts DC unloaded and about 2.24 volts DC or so loaded at 2.5 ohms. The RMS voltage is probably something like 3.4 to 3.45 volts. E-power on the other hand is not pulse modulated. It comes off charge at about 4.2 volts DC unloaded which will be about 3.8 volts loaded at 2.5 ohms. But e-power will drop to about 3.7 v unloaded fairly quickly (giving about 3.35 to 3.4 loaded at 2.5 ohms). That is, RMS voltage will be about same for Joye eGo and e-power for most of discharge life. The eGo will cut off at about 3.22 volts RMS (if loaded at 2.5 ohms) whereas e-power will continue to output for a bit longer but at power levels less than the eGo at point that it cut-off. Charging e-power batts is different that charging eGo batts as indicated. Cost of replacement batts for e-power is ordinarily cheaper than replacing an eGo batt. Several factors to consider as to which approach is "best". But, power consistency wise, eGo is probably more consistent at batt output level. However, in either case there will probably be changes in resistance at atty occurring during vaping that will be changing actual power and changing how and how much of e-liquid is being vaporized/misted with each draw. Again, several factors as to what is "best".
