Hello everyone, ok so I first saw this e-cig last night and tried it for the first time and loved it. Unfortunately i was out and didnt get exactly which one he had except that he got it from freedomsmokeusa. It was a big one definitely one of the 1000mh models, but im not sure if its the ego-c, ego-t or joyce ego model?? not even sure what the difference between all of them are. But one thing i did remember that made me REALLY want this e cig was this thing he called a "tank" i believe it looked like a clear mouth peice full of juice that he said lasted him forever. it looked like it just plugged into the e-cig. I like this concept because i used the blu but it was such a hassle to fill each piece with juice. Anyway, can anyone please help me figure out what i need to buy to have his setup? I am looking at the starter kits but im so confused with all of the models and im not even sure if these have the tanks and can do what his did. Any help would be greatly appreciated I want to order one of these ASAP. Thanks!

Hi and welcome!

The device you are describing sounds like an eGo-T. Unless you get into Variable Voltage (which for new vapers would likely be the eGo Twist or Vision Spinner), all of the eGo batteries are the same. "C" and "T" refer to different styles of "delivery systems" that come with the kits. Delivery systems are the devices that goes on top of the battery, holds the e-liquid ("Juice") and delivers it to the heating element to be vaporized.

These are the features that identify an eGo:

I strongly recommend you stay with authentic Joyetech or Vision batteries. There are a lot of of clones out there and while they may be a bit less expensive, people have more problems with them.

An eGo-T kit looks like this:

Other members will certainly chime in with the pros & cons of that set-up and offer other suggestions, but I wanted to answer your question before they get here. Cheers!

HI, I have had almost every Joye product since I started. I believe you are talking about the ego-c which would be better over the ego-t IMO. I have used an ego-c for over a year now and still have it as a backup with twist batteries. I have a few items posted below to help you identify. There are a few manufacturers that make very similar looking models and parts though. All links are from joye official webpage. The order is from lowest to highest from the top. highest being better at the bottom of the list, this is as simply as I can put it to you. links to website for more info. You need to search online to get some good prices

Of course you have to consider personal preferences and what limitations you want to deal with.

The ego-c is probably the least to maintain in IMO, but the stock batteries are not as good as the ego twist and twister batteries. Also all of these batteries that come with the Joye brand items have many different aftermarket tank options that will give an even better vaping experience.

I agree with The Ocelot that it was probably a eGo battery. The tank could have been one of several things, including Vision Vivi Nova or a Kanger tank (there are a few different ones).

Check out myvaporstore.com and look up the items mentioned. I do not really suggest a "starter kit" because they come with a different delivery system (tank) than you described. Just get a battery and find a tank.

The next step in finding the juice. I personally use Mt Baker Vapor for juice, but there are many great juice vendors out there.

Good luck.

ok from what I have read it looks like the ego-t tank system or the ego-c interchangeable system? im honestly so confused what i do remember is that it has that cartridge mouthpiece that ocelot posted as well as funkypunk on the second post. I do know he said he got it from Freedom Smoke USA if that helps at all?

The reason why he said he liked it is because he hated the blu type screw on cartridges? (sorry i really dont know what im talking about to be honest im brand new to electronic cigarettes) all he had to do was fill the "tank" with juice and it lasted him almost a month.

If anyone can help me "build" this type of system from scratch I would really appreciate it as I am not sure everything I will need.

Thanks again for the responses!

That really sounds that the "T." There is a little plastic top which is filled with juice and slid into the atomizer that punches a hole in the tank bottom. Your friend may have been using the same tank for a month that he kept refilling. There is no product on the market that only needs to be filled once a month, unless it's not being vaped.

There are much better set-ups on the market than an eGo-T or eGo-C. Currently, the kit that has the best bang for your buck is the one I'm going to link to below. **You will probably be completely confused by the components** but other members will be along to explain what they are and perhaps even come up with a better kit.

ETA: Cross my furry little heart, at this point in your vaping journey you do not need a ProVari or a Vamo, no matter what anyone tells you.

Nighty night.

Ocelot found what I was looking for before I could. My thinking exactly on a starter kit. That kit should last you quite a while and even get you into the variable voltage game, which you can learn about as you go.

The tank holding the liquid is a replaceable unit that can be upgraded to a more permanent one at a later time. It has an atomizer inside that makes the vapor from the liquid is replaceable which is cheaper than buying whole new units every time. The kangers seems to be popular.

batteries are good choice on this deal also. From the looks of it you can get the 1300 batteries for this price.

Also, im looking at these cartomizers listed and im even more confused. what's the difference between all of these i see 3-4 diff types of just kanger.

Sorry for the 20 questions this is definitely helping out though!

The 1300 and 1100 vision spinners will be very long almost 4 inches long. My 1100 was around that size. just to keep in mind. The batteries barely fit in the pocket well with the extra length of the variable voltage. A 650 battery like ScottP uses may last you all day. I used an 1100 battery and it would last me nearly all day and I work over 12 hours a day at a computer vaping throughout the night. Before that I had both 650 and 900 batteries also. 900 was a good medium to heavy use battery for me for a while. Maybe a compromise with a 900 or 650 battery for being pocket friendly. I still know people that use 510 batteries which are not much larger than a cigarette.

The difference between the kangers...well? Did a little forum searching and found the simplest forum thread answer I could find in a few minutes

I'm not quite asleep yet

A Spinner and a Twist are quite similar - both are solid devices to start with. They have the same threading and the same delivery devices can be used on them. The Spinner is slightly wider than the Twist.

Some people prefer the Twists (which came out first), but the Spinners have two features that give them an edge: the numbers on the dial to indicate the voltage are easier to see and there are more color/size options.

spinnertwistends.jpg


“mAh” stands for milliampere-hour which is the length of time a battery will last between charges. 100mAh is theoretically equal to 1 hour of use, but for most vapers it's shorter than that.. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last, but also the larger in size it will be.

The size of a 1300mAh vv device can be pretty intimidating at first and often awkward when you go out (I take a smaller device when I do), so selecting a smaller one as a back-up might a good plan.

Re: Variable Voltage, it allows the user to increase or decrease the amount of power (watts) used by the heating element to vaporize the liquid; this affects temperature, throat hit and taste. Some juice may taste burnt at high levels, while others may seem less flavorful at low levels. It can also affect the amount of vapor produced, although the pg/vg ratio of a juice can be more important.

Personally, I always recommend a new vaper get as many different type of delivery system devices as they can afford, since each one has it own pros, cons and quirks. Everyone has their own preferences, so trial and error to find works best for you is unavoidable.

Oh God, I'm rawring again...

Here are a couple of articles that I have written that should help you out. In the first link, there is a video with a tutorial on an ego variable voltage setup. The second link has a picture dictionary of the more common juice delivery devices.
