After using the Ego\Kanger kit for a day I'm definitely happy with the hardware. The 650mah battery lasted me a full day of reasonable
vaping. I'm a pretty heavy vaper, but I do put it down for a while through the day.
The cartomizers for me hold a full 1ml of
juice. Since they're cheap I put some different flavors in a full 5 pack with no duds to speak of so far. I like the draw, slightly firm but not hard by any means. They do get slightly warmer than the Bloog\Volt version, but seem to be almost identical in every other way. One exception is that the Bloog\Volt versions have a paper sticker on the outside where these are just a nicely painted finish. I prefer the paint myself because it won't peel off.
Now the 24mg
juice base isn't terrible or anything, but I'm not the biggest fan of this base. It has a pretty hard TH and has that peppery taste to it when plain. Interferes with the fruit flavors for me a bit, not a large amount but I can taste it. Also has no real indication on the strength other than "Approximately 24mg when mixed with flavoring" and the PG\VG ratio isn't marked or indicated anywhere on the bottle or the website.
Some of the flavorings taste ok to me so far, but they aren't close to strong enough that you're going to make 6x30ml bottles of juice out of them, more like 1-2 in my case, maybe 2-3 if you like pretty weak flavors. I tried 10% at first mix because of what's been reported in this thread previously about them being weaker. I can confirm that is correct. I ended up at 20% flavoring to get what I consider my normal, although I'm into stronger flavoring and 10-15% might work for some people just fine.
So at 20% flavoring that works for me it's pretty much a whole bottle of flavor to 30ml. At the sale price of $4 for flavor + $13 for base it's worth it to me, but I'll probably pass on the juice combo in the future when the price for both jumps up considerably.
The flavors taste wise are always subjective of course, but the Vanilla Tobacco is terrible for me. Very fake tasting and perfume like.
The Chocolate Tobacco is pretty good tasting but not very chocolate. It's more like a bitter baking chocolate added to the tobacco taste and turns out to be very close to analog like for me, not really sweet at all and quite enjoyable to me. It does have a large amount of sediment in the bottom that I'm not too fond of though, but the taste is good.
The Peach Tobacco is pretty tasty so far, but I haven't vaped it much yet. Nothing stands out as bad to me about it yet though.
The Menthol...it's a killer cold straight icy menthol. Yeah you need to add quite a high % of it like all the flavors, but it's definitely just pure menthol. I like Menthols and this is great non sweetened menthol that can be added to anything you wish.
I'm not too big on the hotter vape and hope they come out with Kanger 2.4ish soon.
