*I can format this back to paragraph form if you would like. I figured it would be easier to asnwer the questions in this format*

After reading up on e-cigs for the last few days I am still confused on a few things.

I am thinking about purchasing this . . .

The INFERNO (T) Kit

Along with (2) tank-O-mizers

INFERNO - Tank-o-mizer

Comes out to $100 USD without shipping...

Is this the same thing as the volcanoe (just a different brand)? In case the link doesn't work it is a Joye eGo T - Tankomizer

Joye eGo T - Tankomizer - Black

As I am new to all of this, is there anything else that I need to purchase like atomizers (or does the tank have an atty built in it)?

What should I stock up to avoid not being able to use the e-cig when/if parts go bad?

In the real world is a 1,000 mah battery going to be comparable to 1 pack of analogs?

Will the passthrough battery allow me to "smoke" while it is plugged in without using battery life? Kind of like a cell phone . . . If it is plugged in you can use the phone without draining the battery.

Is this system basically a 510?

If I don't like the tank-o-mizer system can I change to cart, carto and or drip (I think I read that it is a pain to "taste test" when using a tank?)?

Can I replace the battery (would be looking at 1,000 mah - what style do I need?) without purchasing a whole new system?

Can I change to an auto if I don't like the manual (I assume it comes as manual?)?

I smoke Pall Mall Lights 100's (15 or so a day).

Will a bottle of 30ml (premixed Marlboro flavor for example - doubt I am going to mix right away) be comparable to 15 real cigs?

Is $10-$14 (USD) a fair price for a 30ml bottle (premixed)?

If a 30ml bottle will not last as long as 15 real cigs then I would be doing this strictly for health reasons (pack of Pall Malls run me roughly $5 USD when I purchase a carton).

The Joye eGo is cheaper than the Volcanoe up front ($60 compared to $100) but after purchasing parts to make it a passthrough and buying (1) 1,000 mah battery I would be at or exceed $100, correct?

I hope that this is a good start or the last few days of reading has been a waste.

If you have any other suggestions (different brand/styles/whatever) please say so!

Thanks for any and all help!

You should be good to go, yes the eGo T is exactly the same thing. just branding. you may want to add a couple blank tank cartridges. should be a couple bucks for a pack of 5.
30ml of juice would be more like a carton of cigs. Batteries come starting at 650mAh which will last you like 8-10hrs of constant use, to 1000mAh which lasts me nearly two days depending on how much you vape.

PS. sorry for the double post but passthrough would be handy if spend a lot of time at your laptop or driving (car cig lighter adapter).. not super nessasary when your starting out. I would say a lot of people as long as they get a chance to charge one of their batteries each night would not need a USB pass through even with 650mAh batteries. most kits come with 2 of these. I prefer having 2 1000mAh batteries myself sometimes I don't allways have the time to charge them up.

We generally don't compare how long something will last against cigarettes because it's like apples and oranges. The average vaper goes through 3-5ml of juice per day.

The system you're looking at is a 510 and parts will be easy and cheap to find. You can use atomizers, cartridges or cartomizers. It's all up to you and whatever you'll like best.

I'm not quite sure what you mean about making the eGo a passthrough, unless you're just talking about buying an eGo PT. If you buy a regular eGo kit, then you can't just turn it into a PT. Those are generally a separate item.

Regardless of what you decide to purchase, you're definitely going to need extra atomizers. I would suggest at least 3 extras. Tornado is just a rebranded eGo and they only come as manuals. I wouldn't recommend an automatic anyway. You can get juice inside an automatic battery and that will ruin it. Manuals aren't difficult to get used to and give you more control over how you vape.

After reading up on e-cigs for the last few days I am still confused on a few things.

Been doing it for a few and still get confused sometimes don't feel bad



As I am new to all of this, is there anything else that I need to purchase like atomizers (or does the tank have an atty built in it)?

Yes get extra attys

What should I stock up to avoid not being able to use the e-cig when/if parts go bad?

Make sure you like it first shipping to your location should not be more than a couple of days, maybe some extra juice would really suck if you ran out.

In the real world is a 1,000 mah battery going to be comparable to 1 pack of analogs?

Probably more but your use may very

Will the passthrough battery allow me to "smoke" while it is plugged in without using battery life? Kind of like a cell phone . . . If it is plugged in you can use the phone without draining the battery.

Yes, pass through replace the battery not connect to it like your cell phone

Is this system basically a 510?

Can use some of the same parts but is not the same, I have both and the ego-t is my go to device

If I don't like the tank-o-mizer system can I change to cart, carto and or drip (I think I read that it is a pain to "taste test" when using a tank?)?

Can I replace the battery (would be looking at 1,000 mah - what style do I need?) without purchasing a whole new system?

any that are designed for the ego

Can I change to an auto if I don't like the manual (I assume it comes as manual?)?

Yes

I smoke Pall Mall Lights 100's (15 or so a day).

Will a bottle of 30ml (premixed Marlboro flavor for example - doubt I am going to mix right away) be comparable to 15 real cigs?

In my experience closer to a carton, was a pack a day smoker and I go through about 2 ml a day

Is $10-$14 (USD) a fair price for a 30ml bottle (premixed)?

Yes

If a 30ml bottle will not last as long as 15 real cigs then I would be doing this strictly for health reasons (pack of Pall Malls run me roughly $5 USD when I purchase a carton).

It will last longer than 15 cigs

The Joye eGo is cheaper than the Volcanoe up front ($60 compared to $100) but after purchasing parts to make it a passthrough and buying (1) 1,000 mah battery I would be at or exceed $100, correct?

Shop around cignot.com has a good starter kit with free shipping for $79

I hope that this is a good start or the last few days of reading has been a waste.

Your asking good questions your off to a great start

If you have any other suggestions (different brand/styles/whatever) please say so!

Thanks for any and all help!

I have used the 510, 808(cartomizers), and the EGO-T and the EGO-T is by far my favorite

I thought it was but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks!

you may want to add a couple blank tank cartridges. should be a couple bucks for a pack of 5.

Nice catch, thanks!

30ml of juice would be more like a carton of cigs.

Now we are talking. Of course, I'm sure it varies from user to user.

Batteries come starting at 650mAh which will last you like 8-10hrs of constant use, to 1000mAh which lasts me nearly two days depending on how much you vape.

Very good, thanks.

PS. sorry for the double post but passthrough would be handy if spend a lot of time at your laptop or driving (car cig lighter adapter).. not super nessasary when your starting out. I would say a lot of people as long as they get a chance to charge one of their batteries each night would not need a USB pass through even with 650mAh batteries. most kits come with 2 of these. I prefer having 2 1000mAh batteries myself sometimes I don't allways have the time to charge them up.

Noted. I figured that I would try to do it right the first time. Of course, everyone is different.

Thanks for the help, Shinypaladin!

We generally don't compare how long something will last against cigarettes because it's like apples and oranges.

My fault, I should have known that. I did read that everyone is different but it must have escaped my brain. Live and learn. Point taken.

The average vaper goes through 3-5ml of juice per day.

That is roughly how many analog's? I kid, I kid :p

The system you're looking at is a 510 and parts will be easy and cheap to find. You can use atomizers, cartridges or cartomizers. It's all up to you and whatever you'll like best.

Good deal.

I'm not quite sure what you mean about making the eGo a passthrough, unless you're just talking about buying an eGo PT. If you buy a regular eGo kit, then you can't just turn it into a PT. Those are generally a separate item.

Joye eGo T - Tankomizer - Black

This does not appear to come with a PT.

I figured I would need this . . .

Joye eGo Passthrough Battery - Black

Regardless of what you decide to purchase, you're definitely going to need extra atomizers. I would suggest at least 3 extras.

Would this be the tank-o-mizer?

INFERNO - Tank-o-mizer

Tornado is just a rebranded eGo and they only come as manuals. I wouldn't recommend an automatic anyway. You can get juice inside an automatic battery and that will ruin it. Manuals aren't difficult to get used to and give you more control over how you vape.

Point taken, thanks.

Yes, the Inferno Tank-o-mizer is also the atomizer, if that's what you're asking. My advice is to have at least 4 on hand at any given time. Atomizers are kind of strange sometimes. One can last for months and another one will stop working after only a day. That's just how they are. You don't want to put yourself in a position where you can't vape.

Fair enough.

Yes get extra attys

This would be "tanks", correct?

Make sure you like it first shipping to your location should not be more than a couple of days, maybe some extra juice would really suck if you ran out.

LOL, no juice is no good :) Point's taken

Probably more but your use may very

Fair enough. Sorry for asking that question...

Yes, pass through replace the battery not connect to it like your cell phone

Thank you.

Can use some of the same parts but is not the same, I have both and the ego-t is my go to device

Ok, 510 is not the same as the Inferno T/eGo T but they can use some of the same parts. Correct? Chevy is not the same as Ford. A part for Chevy "might" work on a Ford... Close?

any that are designed for the ego

Fair enough.


Doubt I will, thanks for the info.

In my experience closer to a carton, was a pack a day smoker and I go through about 2 ml a day

Very good, thanks.


Good to know, thanks.

It will last longer than 15 cigs

Sorry for that question, again. Thanks for the answer.

Shop around cignot.com has a good starter kit with free shipping for $79

Thanks for the site. I have not heard of it until now. I think I just found out where I am going to buy!

Your asking good questions your off to a great start

You are to kind. It has to get boring after awhile to answer certain questions...

I have used the 510, 808(cartomizers), and the EGO-T and the EGO-T is by far my favorite

That is encouraging to hear.

Thanks for the help, Mustang!

That is exactly what I was trying to ask. I am one confused guy with this stuff. Thanks!!

My advice is to have at least 4 on hand at any given time. Atomizers are kind of strange sometimes. One can last for months and another one will stop working after only a day. That's just how they are. You don't want to put yourself in a position where you can't vape.

I have read that about the non tank systems (atty having a mind of its own - could be DOA or last 3 months). I thought maybe the tank system atty would last longer. I guess it won't make a difference.

Thanks again for everything, WomanOfHeart (is WoH alright?)!

Valcano = $128.74 shipped for (1) eGo T and 4 tanks

Decisions to be made, argh.

I don't have a volcano so I may be way off here.

The ego-t is a 3 part ecig consisting of a battery, atomizer, and the tank. the volcano is listing as a tank-o-mizer not sure what that it. So it may not be a re-branded ego-t.

While the pass through is kind of neat I find I don't use mine any more with the longer life batteries that we didn't have a few years ago.
