I started with an EVOD setup but quickly found that the 100% VG juices I liked burned through atomizer heads really quickly -- flavor and vapor went south faster than I was willing to replace heads. I moved onto carto tanks and the occasional mega xl dual coil carto, but for some reason got intrigued by the eGo-CC due to its unique(?) atomizer head design.
I finally got one over the weekend and have been impressed with it so far. On my second fill of Johnson Creek Red Oak Tennessee cured without any noticeable change in vapor production or flavor. Flavor is slightly muted relative to a cartomizer but not that much. It's heavy and solidly built, I think you'd have to work hard to break it.
The only downsides so far are that it's tricky to fill -- the fill opening is small and recessed, I've found that filling it is easiest with a blunt syringe; I tried dripping in with the little 5ml dropper bottles JC gives you with a bottle of juice and 100% VG had too much surface tension to go through the hole. The juice made a little puddle at the opening and started running through the air passages. I use a syringe for most all of my filling, so this isn't an issue for me. It also doesn't hold very much, maybe only 1.5ml. This lasted me a day of pretty frequent vaping, YMMV.
My only major concern will be atomizer head life. So far, so good, but the heads are $4 and change each, so they will have to last longer than a Smok eGo Mega XL cartomizer. They are cheaper, slightly better flavor and I get about 5 ml through them before the performance isn't worth adding more juice to them.
