I have used ECIGs on / off for a while. Advice on user friendly, quality set up that will encourage me to kick the analog habit please?

[moomoon]

Hi

Can someone advise?

I’ve bought various ecigs in the past, in attempts to kick the analog habit. But unfortunately never stuck with the religiously like some here.

With analogs it is crystal clear what you are getting, and they are an exceptionally simple product to use… albeit v. unhealthy.

I have to admit I find the whole ‘ecig world’ a rather confusing with all the different products fluids, cartomizers, atomizers, clearomizers etc etc advertised on the net. There seems to be countless and sometimes conflicting reports and reviews about countless products, which I also find confusing.

Enough excuses, I know I need to make more of an effort with the Ecigs! So I have been looking on the net for inspiration in last few days.

Anyway - I have an EGO-C with a 650 manual battery. Should I just stick with this or should I use it with a clearomizer etc? And if so which one? Or get something completely different?

What would be the difference in terms of vaping result/satisfaction between:
1. Using the EGO-C as it is, just on it’s own
And
2. Using the EGO-C with a clearomizer (or indeed carto, tanks, VV etc)

It’s not about money, as I often spend £16 per day on analogs which cost a bomb these days, but what I want is something simple that does not need complicated maintenance, cleaning, awkward filling, and the user to have a PHD in ECIG technology.

I don’t want to give up on an ECIG because it’s too complicated. But on the other hand, I would also want to have the most satisfying product that’s available, that will encourage me to drop the analogs.

Any advice gratefully received.

The best thing you can do is to just read, read, and read. Browse the forum and read threads. The best thing you can do is be a sponge and soak up all the knowledge you can. That being said, if endless reading isn't your thing, the second best option would be to find a local vape shop and ask them questions. Most shops are very helpful and will help you select the device for you. I'm not in the UK so I can't help you find a shop but maybe somebody will come along and help you out here.

These two channels were the guys that got me off the ground when I started vaping. Extremely helpful.

The Ego-C is just a battery. You need a topper: a clearomizer like the Evod, Protank, Vivi Nova, Iclear16 or iclear30, or cartomizers or a cartotank, Stardust/CE4.

Grab yourself a basic starter kits which includes 2 batteries, 2 clearos, a usb charger and wall adapter. The mAh of the battery is how many hours it'll last before recharging, i.e. 650 mAh = about 6.5 hours, 1300 mAh, about 13 hours, etc.

Many vendors, even in the UK, sell starter kits like listed above. Always good to have more than 1 battery, because one will probably be charging

Then you will need to find some acceptable juice to fill those tanks/clearomizers, cartomizers (unless you just buy pre-filled cartos, but that gets expensive).

I hope this helps.

Nothing complicated about it

You have an Ego-C battery, just put an Evod BCC on it Oh and get a back-up battery while you are at it, nothing more frustrating than waiting for a battery to charge when you are dying for a puff!

Hi All

Thanks for your replies.

John - what you say about finding an independent vape shop and actually speaking to someone knowledgeable face to face was exactly what I was thinking too. I’m in Hertfordshire and can’t seem to find any shops round here. All the vape shops in UK seem to be in the North of the UK?

Jefsview (and also Vault and MrsC) – You guys prob know far more than me… that the Ego-C came with a pack of atomizers and a mouthpiece that, you put e-liquid into. You mention a few examples of clearomizers, cartomizers, tanks etc.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but in terms of results from the end vaping results POV, which is the most important point I suppose, assuming you are using the same liquid in each, can I ask what in real terms is the actual difference between using:

(1) The mouthpiece/ atomizer arrangement that comes as standard with the EGO-C.
(2) A different carto, clearo, tank etc with the EGO-C battery.

Many Thanks

With a bit of tinkering and nothing complex you can fine tune the Evod to suit you.

There are a choice of resistances for the heads from 1.8 to 2.6ohm so you can tune to suit a fixed voltage battery.
They are easy to clean and easy to replace the heads (simply unscrew and replace)
The flavour wick can be increased in size or removed, the three airholes can be partially blocked to give a tighter draw.
They give a bloody good vape for little money and are cheap enough.

Basically they are my everyday "go to" and standby delivery device and work on anything with an Ego thread.

All I can suggest is you try one and see if it suits

 

[jefsview]

Bottom Coils tanks like the Protank and Evods give a cooler vape and losser draw when inhaling.

Top coils are Stardust (what probably came with your batteries), Iclears and Vivi Novas, offer a tighter draw and warmer vape. Flavor is all over the place between the top coils and bottom coils, depending on the design.

Thinner juices perform better in all devices than thicker juices.

I hope that helps clear some thing up.

This is the eseist way to go.
Order some boge cartomizers. They are cheap easy to use, easy to fill and they work. Get a 5 pack of 2.0 ohm and a pack 3.0 ohm. The 2.0 ohm will give you a more intense vape but your battery won't last as long.
Electronic Cigarette - Cartomizers - Boge Cartomizers

Cartomizers just screw on the your battery and you can vape away. You will also need liquid to fill the cartomizers. Get 3 or 4 different types of liquid with 18 mg. of nicotine. The higher the nicotine the less you feel the need to smoke.

I started (second time around) with an eGo-T systems. It's like the C. It was so so. I got a couple eGo Twists and Vivi Novas and finally quit. The VV of the Twist makes a big difference, plus they are inexpensive and versatile. You can use eGo and 510 threaded devices on it. Just make sure you get a few of them. Back ups for your backups. I'd also make sure to have 2 chargers as eGo chargers aren't the greatest.

I'm not as sure on the juice device though. There's so many crap Vivi Nova knockoffs now that I can't really recommend them. The Kanger Pro Tank is pretty good, the Kanger T3 is a good vape that has a habit of small leaks though, The Kanger Evod, also the Vapeonly BCC gets good reviews. All three of those are easy to maintain and have replaceable heads. I'd also look at getting some cartos as suggested above. Get some XL cartos (watch some videos on youtube on filling them) and some drip tips for them.

After you have 5 posts (not necessarily 5 new threads, just posts) in the new member area and the server restarts you can post in the UK sub-forum. The people there can help you find local vendors. Maybe even a vape shop.

I started with a normal ego batt with ce4 clearomizers and they were ok but I could never really get the consistent draw that I wanted (either too wet and didn't get the amount of vape I was after or too dry which hit my still burny damaged throat too hard).

My favorite postman delivered a package today that contained a couple of ego-c twist batts and a bunch of new heads (Joyetech starter). The Kanger TM3 that came with it is the best draw that I've had yet (big vape and with the twist, cool if you want or warm it up)

I smoked a PAD+ for a decade of Belmont Milds (charcoal filtered, big draw) and this setup has me not wanting to go back to that. This is the one that's got me off the analogs, I hope it helps (it really is better over here )

 

[moomoon]

For me, its not in the slightest about the cost of the gear. I mean to put it into perspective analogs cost an absolute fortune these days!

Even if I got the most expensive ecig kit available, it would still cost a small fraction of what my analog addiction costs.

I’ve tried a few ecigs in the past, but never really stuck with it, partly due to laziness, weakness, available time for research etc. Feeble I know! I’m quite tempted by the EVIC. It seems to come with an EGO-T front end as standard? I’ve not tried the EGO-T, but assume there might be more advanced/ better things to connect to it than an EGO-T?

Do you think an EVOD or Kanger mini protank would work well with it? Or something else?

 

[xyanide]

The most user-friendly hassle-free kit I recommend to everyone is a Kanger EVOD kit. They are very affordable and usually come as a pair with a charger so you'll be set for a long time. If you really want variable voltage just try out an ego-style VV battery such as a spinner/winder. Just as a reference I do have a variable wattage mod but I often just grab my EVOD on a regular ego when I'm not at my desk, it performs really well.

An EVIC often develops issues, the vapeonly bcc has issues, vivi nova products sometimes have or develop issues and an EGO-T is very old tech that develops issues and is a right pain in the .... to use while you're out. (might start leaking, need to fill because of low capacity, etc.)
