.. get an eGo ..help

[mattrix]

Hi

I'm looking to eventually replace tobacco. It seems the majority opinion is that an eGo will give the best chance of success. I dont care if it looks or feels like a cigarette.

I'm putting together a cart on e5cigs.com, which seems to have the lowest prices. Are these guys any good? Is there a way to save the cart? or how long till it disappears?

So onto the eGo,
I'm so confused, there are so many different types: ce4, ce4s, ce4sp, ce4+, ce5, t, ts ,k-p, as, ... : and to me, except for the batteries, they all look pretty much the same. Is their a chart somewhere that explains the merits and differences of the various models?

Apart from different capacities, are all the FIXED batteries the same and intechangable? Do they have the same thread? Are they the same voltage? More importantly how do I know which bits and pieces are compatible with the kit I get?

How long do batteries last? I assumed if vaped like a cigarette (5mins every 45mins or so) they would last an hour per 100mAH. But this says its an hour of CONTINUOUS vaping.

How often do the bits need replacing? The kit will have 2 complete e-cigs. I had expected I'd be using both of them each day (possibly different flavors), but what spares do I need: mouth piece; complete tanks?(I don't know what to call them ... everything but the battery); coils and cores?

It has also been recommended to test (drip) the e-liquid before I commit to fill the clearomizer.. So am I going to need to get an atomizer (or 2) and a drip tip? Which ones will fit?

Anything else I'll need?

Well, first off, I'm not familiar with e5cigs.com, but cheap usually means China, and long deliveries. Check out the approved suppliers list on ECF. I order a lot from High desert vapes and Goodejuice. I'm in Arizona, and I receive shipments in about 3 or 4 days usually. And both places have good customer service. With China, it's always a gamble.

I use the T2's, same as these - Kanger T2 / CE5 Changeable Coil eGo Clearomizer [CE5T2EGOCCCLEARO] - $5.99 :
Cheap and they work great. I don't know of a chart. I just try different brands and models all the time until I find the stuff I like.

Batteries are all different sizes. I use an Ego 900mah, and it will last me all day. But you should know most people don't vape the same way as they smoke. I vape a couple hits every 5 or 10 minutes all day. Not the same as when I smoked. I would suggest have at least 2 batteries with you at all time.

How long a battery or a Clearomizer last varies. I have Batteries that are 2 years old and still work. And same with the T2's I buy. The T2's I buy have a replaceable coil, so unless they start to leak (which happens), they will last months.

I don't do the atomizers for "test dripping." I just fill up my T2's and go. If I don't like the juice, I'll dump it, clean out the clearo with some Everclear, and start all over.

All the ego batteries are interchangeable. The other ce excreta is different heads to hold the juice. All will fit the ego batteries. Ego is just a type of battery. The 659 or 900 or 1100 mah rateings are for the battery capacity. The higher the number the longer the battery. I vape quite a bit a 1100 mah battery will last me all day. URMV. Just use one battery at a time. When one runs out. Put it on the charger and use the other. Ok to use both tanks with different juices. Just swap tanks when you want to switch flavors.
Someone with more knowledge will be around to give you more info. The ego kits are great. That's what I started with.
Welcome to the site.

I just ordered my first eGo's from goodejuice, as an upgrade from the V2's I currently have. They had the order "shipped" within an hour. I didn't buy a "kit". I put together my own list of parts. I bought 2 Vision Spinner 400mAh batteries, 2 CEX Clearomizers, 5 pack of replacement CEX coils, and a charger. It set me back about $80. Goodejuice was the only place I could find the Spinner 400mAh batteries, and the reason I chose them was because of their size.

It seems that if it's an eGo battery, it's an eGo battery. The eGo-C, or eGo-T just refer to what delivery system is attached. AFAIK, anyway.

You're right about the confusion that all these options bring. It's taken me a good 2 weeks to figure out what I needed to buy.

Goodejuice was the only place I could find the Spinner 400mAh batteries

it was the only place I could find that wasn't sold out of them!

eGo size comparison by mAh: 650, 900, 1300 mah

Ego is merely a "class" of battery. The vast majority of eGo's are fixed or single voltage. Vision and Joyetech are reputable brand names. The Spinner and Twist​ are variable voltage models from those two brands, and are highly recommended for beginners. MAh rating helps determine how long you can expect a battery to last between charges. 100 mAh = 1 hour. 650 mAh = 6.5 hours use, your mileage may vary.

Always recommended to have a least two batteries; one for backup and one to use while the other is charging. You'll also need an eGo battery charger and probably a USB/wall adaptor plug to charge your batteries from any wall outlet. Below is an example of an ideal vapor setup:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...06-4-good-starters-setup-beginning-vapor.html

The "toppers" or juice delivery devices hold the juice. They screw onto the batteries and have the heating coils to vaporize the liquid. They are considered disposable, and can be expected to last 2 - 4 weeks. Some are called "rebuildable", which means the heating coil heads/wick part can be replaced with a new one, saving you the need to purchase an entire new unit.

Cartomizers are built differently, and can be expected to last a shorter length of time but are less expensive. They can be refilled multiple times, but are disposed of once the draw becomes stiff. These can come pre-filled with juice flavors, but can also be purchased empty and filled yourself with juice from bottles, which most people learn to do soon after beginning to vape. The next link is a picture dictionary of the more common juice delivery attachments.

[Jfaria1891]

may i suggest

1100mah ego twist VV ( allows you to change the voltage at which you vape giving you more or less power to better fit you and your experience ) (id get 2 one to use while the other is charging )

EVOD clearomizor as your juice delivery system for the simplicity, performance and price.

and some juice of course, Mtbakervapor has the best prices for decent juice imo.


if you want to skip the "ego stage" all together you can jump right into a VAMO with an EVOD and save a few bucks as most people end up going that rout after the egos.

Hey! welcome to the forum!

I notice your quite overwhelmed on the vast choices on how to vape! Dont panic! The "clearomizers" which are the "tanks" they all serve the same function which is to vaporize the liquid. The difference in them is that they burn differenetly from each other. One may have dual coil, single coil, wicks, non wicks, and so forth. In my preference i would suggest you go for the ce5 or the kanger t3s found here ( Tanks and Clearomizers - VaporFusion ). The kanger t3s is by far my favorite clearomizer. Easy maintenance an easy fill. If you have the extra bucks go for the ProTank!

All batteries are different i believe there are two type of batteries the Variable voltage ones and the single voltage ones. The variable voltage ones are in my opinon the better one. They give you the option to control the voltage to match the clearomizer. Not all batteries have the same thread. Some may have the 510 connection some may not. Regarding the ego-c or t they all carry the popular 510 threads. Youll have to check the "clearomizer" thread and most are 510.

The batteries last for approx 1 hour per 100mah and your right, but i can go for a 3 days with moderate vaping and if i vape lesser i could last a week. I believe you wouldnt notice if you ran out of batteries because you would tend to charge your vape every night.

I believe the tanks could last for over a month or more depending on how you use and abuse it. Only spares you need is either extra clearomizers for different flavors or you could stock up on replacements which can replace the old "atomizers" when they burn out Atomizers and Coil Heads - VaporFusion

I believe its not that serious to go buy drip tips or anything.

( Starter Kits - VaporFusion ) I think this would suffice with all your vaping needs! All you need is a Clearomizer, Battery, and Juice and you'll be on your way to blow clouds!

On the topic of batteries...
Lots of factors come in to play, typically the higher mA the longer the battery will last. If you plan to go long time periods between batteries or don't wish to cary around a lot of them, go for the higher mA rating.
Connectors...
510 is your typical connector, most devices use this standard (ego specifically are 510 unless otherwise stated), even your Blu e-cigs use the 510 standard. The only issue I can see with this is making sure that you match numbers up accordingly with your atomizers and batteries.
Carto's, Clearo's, Atomizers oh my....
To answer this question is about as difficult as answering "What is my favorite color", but I'll try to sort it all.
Cartos-They are typical self contained (think blu ecig refills), most after market carto's are refillable. They hold on upwards of 2 ml of juice typically and will last someone about half a day (realistically around 50-70 puffs). Most dont' leak although if set for a long period of time they will leak a bit, I highly recommend keeping the silicon caps on the carto when not in use. They are disposable and considered a throw away atomizer at the end of its lifespan.
Clearo's- Most use a tank type assembly, typically hold on upwards of 5 ml of juice. Most of the time the atomizer head is replaceable without having to replace the tank assembly, they are usually easy to fill/prime without an issue. You have your choice additionally well of either top or bottom feed styles which are avalible.
Atomizers (Genisis, drip, RBA)- These are typically advanced user mods, I would not recommend them for a new vapor however if you choose this pathway then please find someone that is experienced with them and ask for there advice.
APV(Advanced Power Vaporizer) or Mechanical Mod (battery mod)
APV (Ego's, stick batteries, VAMO, Pro-Vari..ect)- Offers battery protection, ability to adjust the taste (wattage/voltage) as necessary or prefered. Easiest device to start on for new vapers truthfully as the wide range of options exist
Part 2..comming soon after work

 

[For.The.Win.Bob]

was curious about the "CE" series of clearomizers myself last week after i ordered an ego battery from Fasttech.com but doing my research i found a video with some generic filling differences, and a few other info bits here/, but i was still looking for more info on the clearomizers after that because the ones at the local shop for me are like 10$ a piece for a CE4 style clearomizer, and i had forgot to order some when i got my batteries shipped from china...

another post i came across on this forum had this as one of the responses

CE3's do not have replaceable heads, do not disassemble easily, need a syringe to fill

CE4's do not have replaceable heads, do not dissassemble easily to clean, no syringe needed

CE5's replaceable head, disassemble almost completely, easy to clean, no syringe needed

CE6's replaceable head, disassemble almost completely, easy to clean, no syringe needed

Diff between CE5 and CE6 be danged if I can tell one

I haven't used any others.

I got my CE6's from fasttech and they are working just fine not hit a dead one yet and I have tried 4 of the 7 pack.

original post is here

hope that helps a little... now i need to go ahead and order a few ce5 or ce6's while im still thinking about it

Sounds like you are ready for an ego or stick battery. Some thoughts and where to check them out:

Stick Batteries, known as eGo Style Batteries (entry level, backup, out and about, stealth, primary):

Trusted Vendors shown, but NOT selected based on pricing, you'll still need to shop around. You will need device specific battery chargers (which often come in kits) for these devices. Also, kits often provide two batteries allowing for simultaneous vaping while charging of the backup. Each of the eGo style batteries below have both 510 and eGo thread connections. As such, they are compatible with most toppers, including most Kanger products. Additionally, each of these devices has at least variable voltage, which allows you to adjust and regulate the battery output voltage, providing customizable vapor production, temperature, throat hit, and finding the "sweet spot" for your juices to suit your individual vaping preferences:

1. Innokin iTaste 3.0 vv/vw, usb passthrough, ohms reader, etc. - https://ivape.net/index.php/iTaste-VV-3.0-Variable-Wattage-Device-Pearl-Chrome.html (variable power, LCD display, +/- buttons, Usb passthrough, 3.3 - 5.0 volts, 6.0 - 11.0 watts, 800mAh)
2. SLB KGO VV - http://www.hoosierecig.com/Mega-KGO-VV-1200mAh-3-6v-_p_441.html (LCD display, +/- buttons, Usb passthrough, 3.0 - 6.0 volts, 650 - 1200mAh)
3. Vision Spinner - Vision Spinner VV eGo Battery 1300mAh (3.3 - 4.8 volts, 1300mAh)
4. Joyetech Twist - eGo Twist 1000 Mah Battery in Black (3.2 - 4.8 volts, 650 - 1000mAh)
5. Smoktech Winder - Smok eGo Winder 900mAh Variable Volt Battery (3.2 - 4.8 volts, 900 - 1100mAh)

Best Starter Combo kit out there, imho, provides two batteries, i.e., the twist and/or spinner, and two toppers, i.e., the eVod and/or MT3s, among others: http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm.

Recommend one eVod and one MT3s topper with one Spinner and one Twist to start. This way you get four different products with the kit and allowing you to experience four different setups, as you figure out your preferences and what works best for you. BTW, you can spend less and get a fixed voltage battery, but you'll have much less vape flexibility and it won't be long before you'll want to upgrade to variable voltage, more than likely, and the difference initially is only a few dollars per battery anyway.

There is no right or wrong, only personal preference and experience. Most everyone I see on here ends up upgrading to something more. Seems like MORE, MORE, MORE is a common thread and pattern, almost like an addiction or something...Anyway, do your homework. There's some excellent advice here before this posting. Do yourself a favor and opt for longer battery life in the beginning. Recharging is a PITA and gets old real quick. YMMV, so maybe lower works for you, but it doesn't work for most, except as a backup, stealth, and out and about batt. Keep that in mind. The suggested kit remains an excellent backup for years to come if you do upgrade to an APV later. People end up wasting their money when they buy something that they NEVER use again. Anyway, my two cents. Welcome, congrats on quitting, good luck, happy shopping, Power Up and Vape On!

Hi all,
thanks so much for your quick replies and information - trouble with being in the antipodes, I sleep while you vape.

cheap usually means China, and long deliveries.

Yes ... China. I don't have a lot to spend, I'm already stretching things and the prices there are a real lure. Everything is " just a few dollars more" and it all adds up.
Just about everything is going to be international, and slow anyway; Hence my need to stock up on spares.

I am looking at getting a ce4 kit with 1100 mAH batteries. Fixed batteries ARE cheaper.

What voltage are the batteries when fully charged?

At 2-4 weeks, I'll need a few spare "toppers" in reserve; I can always try different toppers next time (ce5,EVOD, protank etc)

For dripping I was lookig at an eGo-T atomiser with a 510 tip. Will these work together? (they are only a few dollars more, lol)

 

[mattrix]

Another thing,

Being in Australia I'm going to have to find another wall charger.

Do larger batteries draw more current or just take longer to charge?
I think I saw one kit had 420mA, will this be enough for any battery?

 

[Prism]

Hi mattrix and welcome to ECF . I am not sure what kind of a wall charger you would need but we do have an Australia/New Zeland forum where you could ask.

Australia - New Zealand Forum

Just got a new eGo-T battery from Gotvapes, they are not sold out.

Couldn't agree more with a vv stick battery and an Evod for the first setup. Simple to use and a good vape. A Twist or Spinner will remain in your inventory even if you go to a Mod in the future and Evods are pretty foolproof when compared to other clearos IMHO. Good luck
