I like my Egos...

[Mom2myrugrat]

I think everyone just has there own preference, when i first started EGO was what i started with, then i upgraded to the EGO twist- now im deciding what my next one will be i think i turned into a vapor addict since march, i got 3 kits running at moment i can't just stick to one flavor or i get bored quick i guess LOL

Nothing wrong with egos! I've explored other equipment since I started vaping exclusively a month ago, but my egos are still my go-tos whenever I am out and about. They are sturdy little things that get the job done, nothing wrong with that!

I love my eGos! I started with an eGo-T almost 2 years ago, and since then I've moved to Spinners/Twists, but I don't think I'm going anywhere else. They keep my vaping happily, and I love that I can use 1300 mah's for home, and 650's, or even 400's for tiny little out-and-about vapes!

nothing wrong with them but they are the starting point.. it's kind of like your first car.

They may also be the ending point and Ego's are nothing remotely like your first car - the analogy is condescending as well as rather stupid. If you are finished with cigs and like the Ego, then go no further. My daughter uses her two Ego's that she has had for months, both replaced once due to batteries failing to hold a charge - she used them to death. I, on the other hand, have a pile of stuff laying around collecting dust as I chase the latest and greatest. Which of us is "right", both of us. Who has the most sense of proportion and good sense in general, I would say she does. The PV is a tool, it can become a hobby, which it is for you is up to you and you alone.

I agree with what you said. Objectively speaking my Aerotank and Spinner II are enough to keep me off cigarettes, the VV-range is good enough to produce nice vapor and the taste is more than acceptable. So yes, if this was the end I could live with that. Buuuut, curiosity is a tempting mistress and I'll be moving up in the vaping world for sure.

And for some people, their first car is their last car if it doesn't break down. It all depends on the quality you're starting with.

In my limited vaping experience, the tank upgrades I have made have made more of a difference to the quality of my vaping than the battery I use.

I completely agree. I was happy for some time with the small kangers, the T3S and Mini PT II, especially after I learned to rebuild them, but I did keep having issues with the wicking -- too much, dry hits, not enough, leaking. Then I got a kayfun lite plus (clone) and the taste is just so much clearer, I've pretty much retired my collection of T3Ss -- plus, zero leaking! Still use the Mini PT IIs, since they're glass, and holding such a small amount, are a good choice for flavors I don't vape a lot of, and I don't seem to get as many leaking issues with them as I did with the T3Ss. Since I started wicking the Mini PT IIs (and my ARO Pyrex) with rayon, I don't get the dry hit issues either.

A lot of people seem to believe that the battery tube (or box) is somehow responsible for the quality (or lack of it) of their vape, but all they do is power the atomizer -- the atomizer, the tank, has far more to do with the quality of the vape than whatever is powering it. The only real issue I've had with the power source affecting the vape is when my Sigelei was, for whatever reason, factory-set to "Mean" mode, and that was making it kick out about 1.5-2 times the power selected -- which meant a real lot of dry hits and burnt tastes. Once I got it set to "RMS" mode, then whatever power I selected was a great deal more accurate, and the vape improved accordingly.

But it's not a non-factor either. You do need a mod that can push enough volts to power the coil optimally, and a battery that has a significant voltage drop under load will give you a lesser quality vape than a mod that has no such issues. But indeed, the biggest gains can be made by investing into great quality tanks that you can recoil to your own preference.

Absolutely nothing wrong with eGos. I have a handful of mini/micro ones that I use while I'm driving. I do have a couple VV3s and MVP2s for use at the office and at home. I use the eGos while I'm working in the yard (not nearly as worried about dropping/losing one out there.)

Bottom line is, if it works for you, it's the best thing!

That is all

Yes, I've heard this, about the voltage drop; I guess it's just that I've never had a mech, or any other kind of non-variable (other than my starter eRoll), that this doesn't automatically occur to me. But yeah, I do recall, when I was using the eRoll exclusively, that it seemed the first hit after recharging was always great, and never again that good until I had recharged that particular battery. So I can see where that would be a real issue.

At some point I'll probably get a mech, I really like the looks of the EAPro with its side button and telescoping, and apparently mechs have it all over the electronic kind in terms of longevity (which could become a real issue if the FDA goes completely insane) but I know already that I'll need to use a Kick with it, because I *am* so accustomed to and spoiled by all the variable mods I have.

I keep hearing about mods and really advanced things with voltage that I feel a little self-conscious about bringing out my little Ego batteries. I don't think I'll ever be particularly advanced when it comes to vaping, especially since this is mainly a smoking alternative. It seems like everyone at work went the advanced route, with these giant batteries and mods.

What's really wrong with Egos that no one sticks with them?

I said the same thing 3 months ago about my egos. Now they are collecting dust ina drawer and i'm on my second mod.

If it works for YOU, use it and don't worry about what anyone thinks. The important part is not smoking.
