Okay - just saw a quick video on the Kgo. Am I misunderstanding something? are the cartomizers just like a 808 cartos, in that they have filler/batting to saturate? I thought it would be wiser to have none of that - just the liquid in a tank

You may be able to find other sources for your gear and possibly cheaper too, (though not by much)

This is an EGO that can be plugged in while you vape, or disconnected and carried around. It uses a USB connector to charge, but you can find an adapter that will go from the wall to USB at wal-mart for like 5 bucks.
The differences between current generation EGO and KGO are minimal. KGO comes off the charger putting out more power for a more powerful vape, and slowly degrades in power over time until it needs to be charged again. The EGO is regulated so the power output is essentially the same vape from start to finish, but it is a little weaker (I can't tell the difference after a few puffs on the KGO) Both are good products and can be bought for less than or equal to 50 bucks with a kit.
Cignot has superfast shipping and excellent customer service, and I almost always go through them if I can. You can probably find cheaper knock off EGOs that aren't genuine joyetech should you feel that name brands don't matter to you, but you'll be hard pressed to find such great customer service and shipping.
Look around. If you do feel like spending more money, I've heard great things about both the Lavatube and the Provari (but those are a little out of my price range atm...)

Yes I think it is but full of good info. Have you been to Grimmgreen.com? Youtube is another good place for vaping videos.
Tanks, Cartos, Clearomizers, Dripping, Cartridges(lol) are just a matter of personal taste.. there are different types of each. Someone will chime in and help on that particular area. I just drip atm.
There is a learning curve to vaping. Almost all the information about it is right here on this site. And if it isn't written, the community here can surely supply you with an answer.
The best way to learn though is to discuss and ask questions. The key to it all is finding what works for you personally. Some people just find something that works for them and call it a day. Others like to know exactly how everything works and so they research and study. Some people (Like myself) have to go through multiple PV's to learn what they like and what they don't, others hit a home run on their first try.
To state it simply, it's a journey.

For tanks, you basically have 2 kinds.
The first kind has a cartomizer in the middle with a small hole or two that feeds liquid from the tank into the cartomizer, so you don't have to constantly fill it. The cartomizer has the atomizer inside of it, consists of either 1 or 2 heating coils, and has polyfill in it that holds the liquid. Readily available at almost all vaping stores online.
The second kind has some form of rebuildable atomizer in along with a replacable wick. They are not readily available and usually are a DIY type of tank. Not recommended for new users.
Another form of cartomizer is a CE2 (Clearmizer) which is kinda like a mini tank and cartomizer in 1. It has the atomizer inside of it and a wick, without polyfill. Some liquids can cause these to crack and leak, and sometimes they just leak. I use them at home but won't put one in my pocket. These are also readily available online at most retailers.
Y'all are killin' me. (and entertaining me as well) I was determined to order a new set up tomorrow. Thought: "I'll just see what kind of input I get from these folks before I place an order". Ha! Looks like I'll have to live with what I've got for who knows how long before I make an informed decision. Because I obviously have so much to learn first. I am totally confused. I ask again - where DID you learn all of this info?
I'll re-read everything in this post again tomorrow. It's late and I suspect the wine isn't helping my understanding... but you all are so helpful. This forum is so helpful. What a great community, the community of vapers is!

eGo-C uses the tank, and I find them less fiddly than carts and cartomizers. Perhaps I'm a lazy vape-er? After using 1100 mah batts for a while I've started just packing 2-3 650 mah batteries with full tanks when I leave the house, and I don't worry about changing tanks away from home, just pick up the next tank/batt combo and go. It makes the "workflow" work better for my day-to-day process.
you really can't go wrong with an ego, ego t, or ego c. all work great, are durable, and battery lasts a while.
Tyberias - thanks. I'm not sure I understand...I thought the whole purpose of a tank is that they have no polyfill at all.
Which kind of tank is on the eGo-T and the eGo-c? and the Kgo?
Hi again
Well, I think I've decided on the eGo-C. I like this design because there is no poly fiber (or whatever it is) in the cart. BUT - is this something that might have a tendency to leak? (this was mentioned in an earlier post, but I don't know what kind was being referred to)
And my second question is - have you all had any problems with hardware that is not a genuine Joyetech products? There's significant savings in not having that logo. Thoughts?
Thanks!

I'm quite frugal. I just saw this deal for $10.00:
This product includes the 2-piece body consisting of the eGo-C Atomizer Base and eGo-C Cone as well as a free eGo-C Atomizer Head and a 5 pack of compatible cartridges. If you already have an eGo or eGo-T battery, then this is everything you need to give the eGo-C a try.
I could get 2 Joyetech batteries along with this and a charger and I'd have the whole setup for about $50 bucks? Hmmm...I didn't realize you could turn an eGo into an eGo-C. What do you think?

Tanks have a cartomizer inside them essentially. It's just you can fill the tank up so the cartomizer doesn't run dry (if it works). They sometimes have a tendency to leak (but most of this stuff does). If you want the ego-c (C indicates it's changeable, T indicates it's a tank) then by all means, do that. I would, however, suggest you invest in a few more atomizers than just the one. They will burn out.
The ego-c atomizer that attaches to the battery attaches with a 510 thread. So you can also order any 510 threaded clearomizer/cartomizer/atomizer/tank and it should* attach to the battery.

You poor thing! You had no idea what you were in for, did ya? I learned everything I know, which admittedly is not as much as I'd like, from right here. This is a great bunch here. I started much the same way you did, with a slim kr808 and it took three upgrades to find what I like. I have no doubt that the KGO would work beautifully for you. And for $50 it'll work well for while you explore variable voltage devices I you think you want to go that route. I looked at the EgoC too and I just don't have any luck with atomizers so I went a different way. I hope you understand the difference... Atomizer/cartomizer. Totally different animals! I'm sure your poor head is spinning !!! Let us know what you end up with

That's for sure. My head is really spinning. I'm wondering if this obsession ever calms down...or if it only gets worse! I'm grateful I finally made a decision - at least now I'll have a couple of days that I can concentrate on my life again. Until it arrives, of course.
So - order has been placed! I do understand the differences between an atty and a carto, but have never used an atty. I think I covered my bases by ordering a little of everything from My Freedom Smokes:
MFS eGo-C Trial Kit - Head, Body, Cartridges
eGo/eGo-T/eGo-C USB Wire Charger
eGo/eGo-T/eGo-C 1100mAh USB Pass-Through
eGo/eGo-T 900mah LCD Battery
Vision eGo Clearomizer - Low Resistance (QTY: 4 Pack)
What do you think?

Wow you got lots of batteries! That's good!! You'll never be without a charged one. My only suggestion would be more Cartos, seems like you can never have too many of those. And did you get liquid too?? I'm kinda jealous about your EgoC... I was looking at one of those, but was afraid of the atty system since I've never had much luck with them. All in all I think you did pretty well! Get some Boge 2.0 Cartos, and some 1.7 LR single coil Cartos too, that way youll be able to see the difference. My batts are about the size of yours and I really like the 1.7ohm. Be sure to let us know how you're doing with them, I'm especially interested in how you like that EgoC.

Only two - the pass-thru and the 900 mah eGo
Good idea to get more cartos. I thought I'd wait to see what I ordered before I got more. I'm really so unsure of what I got and how all these things work together.
Liquid? Ummm...I have a freakin' apothecary in my dining room. Is there a preferred pg/vg mix or eGos? Most of what I have is 70/30
I thought it would be nice to try this out. You understand that this is not an eGo-c, but rather a kit to make an eGo into an eGo-c. I figured for 10 bucks it was worth a try. Get yourself one! : )
OH!! I misunderstood. I'm reading at work & probly somebody was yakking in my ear when I was doing important stuff like checking in at ECF So yeah, I will look into that make-your-own thing. I don't know if it'll work on my KGO... WAIT!! I forgot! I have an Ego!! I have a passthrough that one of the vendors here sent me for a bday present, I might be able to do it!!
As for liquid, I use 50/50, 60/40, 70/30... It's all a matter of preference. The battery doesn't care what you use, the Cartos will. Any of the above are good, IMO. If all you got were clearos you'll definitely want to get some regular Cartos like Boge 2.0 or smoktek 1.7. I've had good luck with some clearos, not with others. A regular old plain Jane carto sometimes just works right.
Where did you get your stuff, I want to check on that ego-c stuff. Can't wait for your vapemail to come!
