I have no idea what the "snus" thing is. I've seen it mentioned, many times, but i don't have a clue what it is.

So have you decided what nic strength to go for ? I think the general strengths are 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg, 24mg, 36mg.

If i were to guess i'd pitch you up some 18mg strength. Just to be sure you were covered. And work from there.

BTW have you quit completely or are you still having the occasional analog ?

Snus is a replacement nicotine delivery system using a pouch filled with dry snuss that you place in between your gum and your lower lip. Its like having chewing tobacco without all the mess. when the pouch gets wet it starts delivering tabacco juice. flavor and nicotine. Its only sold in certain markets here in the states. Ive notice that most of the markets that carry it are markets that have banned smoking in public areas. I use to get coupons for free snus in every pack of analogs. IMO they taste really bad and I have yet to meet one person that uses snus on a regular basis, probably cause it taste so bad

Tipsy since you bought the ego-T kit and the atty is attached to the cone that goes on top of the battery of your device if you decide to go with cartos as many people have suggested. I would buy a cone for your ego-t kit. You can use 510 connection cartos that will work well with your battery and they will fit perfectly on your device but might look strange if you don't get a cone to match the look of the ego. That's purely cosmetic and you don't have to buy a cone if you don't want to.


Oh and you did a really good buy. That kit will work great for you hope to hear how much you enjoy your kit when you receive it.

Snus from camel is basically chewing tobacco in a little bag and u place it in ur cheek.......good thing about that is I dont have to spit like so many chewing tobacoo user's do...lol and its not bad.......i like the "Frost" taste.......they come in little cans and have about 15 pouches in it.....i use about 2-3 a day (pouches)...
No i have not had an analog since the 1st of june......so thats 20 days now.......it is really hard lol i still crave it, i guess because that first $ 64 pice of ecig i bought is not working to well....cant wait for the ego to get here....

Hmmm, I use the "FROST"( blue can) snus and i actually like the flavor.....not to keen on the other ones.....and the larger pouches suck too , (Maybe my mouth 2 small lol) but frost is alright....i use it several times a day.......guess it depends which ones u get.
yes I will post when i get the ego and let u all know how i like it, or how well i am doing with it lol.....i watched utube videos on the ego t so i think i know what to do...when i open the box...

Is anyone else finding that the ego t has an impossibly difficult draw? This will take some getting used to. Is there a way to make it draw easier?

i saw a video where they took out a plastic piece inside the mouth piece ....take the top of, inside is another plastic piece with 2 holes in it, take it out , put top back on and see if that helps....

No, you do not have to "break" the silver thing out. That is the plate that has the needle that punches the hole in the tank. The only time that you would have to take it out is if you want to clean it. That being said, be careful if you do. Sometimes the wick will be stick to the coil and then you have a get it back in the spike and try to get it adjusted correctly again.

Did you get the A or B tanks? I had a problem with the A's leaking some but I think that it was my tanks. I have gone to the B's and have not has any problems. Been using them for over a week now. If you rotate your tanks you should be in good shape and make sure that if they are new that you push them in all the way. They should click the first time when the needle puncturs that tank.

You can also get silicone caps to put on the end of the tanks to replace the plastic ones that thye come with. I bought some and are giving them a try.

Hi tips,
yeah pg will be better for your system. Make sure you up your water/liquid intake for the first week or two. Vaping does tend to dry your throat a bit at first.
I have a couple of ego clones but not with the tank system.

Look at that. The post right above me (greghubbard) is someone with a tank system and they're from Texas too. What a result for you....lol. In the same time zone too.

You are 6 hours exactly behind me. Thats going by your post when you said it was 1.35 am.

You will not have to do this till you have used your ego-t atty for about 3-4 weeks. Its a way of deep cleaning the wick. by taking the silver part out and boiling it or leaving it soaking in hot water for a couple of minutes. Most people will not have to do this but those that use 100% VG Juice will do this more often like every 2 weeks to help clean the wick from thicker liquids. Like I said that would have to be a monthly maintenance thing and be careful when taking that silver thing called the "ego-t atty bridge" off cause if you go in to deep trying to take it out you could accidentally hit the coil and shorten the atty life. Weekly maintenance of the ego-t atty would be to leave the atty as a whole and run the atty under warm water for bout a minute, blow out excess water, then let dry overnight.
When you get your kit it is as easy as fill the tank, close it up, drop onto the atty make shure its down into the cone all the way and vape.



Pg is good to use in the ego-t so is 70/30 PG/VG and 50/50 Mix if you go any higher in VG you might have a bit of trouble getting good consistent vapes since the liquid will take more time to wick onto the atty.

i have the a tanks i believe...do the b tanks fit the a one?

The A tanks are not compatable with the B atty and vice versa. The A tanks are smaller and the atty is cone shaped (tapered from bottom to top). The B tanks hold about 2ml of juice and the atty is a cylindar (same size bottom to top).

So it's A to A and B to B. But just FYI, if you ever have an atty of either kind die, you can use the bridge (the part witht he spike and the wick) on either type. Remove it and put in either kind of of atty. Done it and it works.
