Ego Types?

[mrmack00]

Can someone explain the various Egos? I prefer cartomizers over tanks in any case, and my buddy uses a cartomizer on one of his Egos.

I've seen Egos, Ego T's, Ego C's - Can anyone provide a basic explanation of these?

from my knowledge none of them come with cartomizers. they all use a atty cartage/tank combo. my kgo came with these i put them aside and bought boge 2.0 and smoketek 1.7 cartomizers also bought a vision stone and a stardust love them all

The eGO-T and eGO-C are fundamentally the same; battery, atomizer, and tank which holds the juice. Where the C model differs is the atomizer is a 3-piece unit instead of single piece construction. The eGO-C atomizer contains a replaceable heating element (atomizer head) that is cheaper to replace than the one piece atomizer. Here're pics of the C assembled and disassembled:

Here's one (left to right) of the VEC (eGO-T clone) with tank installed, eGO with 2.0 XL LR carto, and eGO with 2.0 LR carto....the cartomizers are "tanks" with internal atomizers and I have hollow cones over them. The smaller two at the bottom are Joye 510s, top with tank and lower with cartomizer. They just happened to be in the pic I used.

I don't have or have pics of any of the other eGO systems so others will surely take care of them for you.

That is very helpful! Thanks - Is there a difference between the circuity in the Eto T vs. Ego C? s the only difference the 1 piece atomizers or 2 piece atomizers they come with?

I will more than likely stick with cartomizers - I'm assuming that both cap ends with the threads are identical.

That really was helpful, n9emz.
I've been trying to get a handle on all of these eGo's and it's really getting difficult with all of the new stuff coming out.
Am I safe to say that you could pretty much buy or build any config (meaning with a 510 connection) you want with eGo stuff?
What I can't figure out for certain is the larger outside threads on these things.. are they all 12mm and the same thread pitch?

I'm limiting this to just anything called eGo, btw. Not GoGo, iGo, VGo, or Echo. For now!

edit (again) .. I guess I'm asking if you could buy a eGo-C and either wind up putting a single piece tank (eGo-T?) on it, and/or putting a cone/cover and use a standard 510 cartomizer on it?

The eGO-T and eGO-C parts are interchangeable; I think to use the eGO-B/Mega you need to use an adapter....saw that on the TW site. You can also use all the 510 attys, cartos and such on the eGO batteries. The cones will work on the standard sized 510 cartos and attys but must be enlarged for the XL, XXL, Smoketech, etc. I knocked a center punch through a cone so it would fit over the XL cartos and Resurrectors I have. The punch had a hex-shaped shank that enlarged the cone to the same shape allowing more airflow as my cones aren't vented at the bottom and they vent from the top on the regular cartos. Pretty restricted at the top. Here's what I ended up with for the XLs/Resurrectors:

If that's hard to follow I'll rewrite it....I get confused sometimes. I stick with 510 threaded stuff because of the versatility afforded.....anyone remember grrranimals? My VEC, TW Titan, and eGO stuff interchanges.

Thanx again. That clears up a lot of the mechanical puzzle for me.
I'm with you on the carto sizes... in just o.d. I've got from 9mm to 13mm in the commercial variations (not counting mods), and I get the need for air flow since the batt connectors and cones don't usually have an air hole themselves.
