I'm kinda new... (not really)

[Scytzo]

Not really new. I've been lurking for about 2 years now. But, I need some advice.

I started with a 'Blu' cig, and got turned off of vaping for a while.

Then I bought a standard Ego 510 starter kit. It was good. My only complaint is that the atomizers seemed to burn out really fast. They would burn nice at first, then start to produce less and less vapor, then 2 weeks and poof, dead.

I switched then to the Ego-T. I like the idea, but there was no consistency in the atomizers. Out of a pack of 5 only 2-3 would work. And for how long? Who knew? One lasted about 2 months, the others that worked lasted about 2 weeks, same as the atomizers.

I got some cartomizers with an order from Ms. T's bakery. I liked them, I don't know what they were, nor where to buy them, but I liked them. I just don't know about the cartmoizer life span, however.

I don't know what to do! I need to make the permanent switch to vaping from analogs but I have yet to find a consistent atomizer/tank/cartomizer for my 510 batteries. I don't know of a place that is in USA (right now I buy from greenhouseone.com, they ship EVERYTHING from China) so when my atomizers die it's 2+ weeks I'm without an e-cig and it's back to analogs. I don't have a great deal of money at any time so I can't buy in bulk at all.

Little more info: There are 2 flavors I could smoke on a daily basis. Blueberry (for cooler atomizers) and Snickerdoodle (for warmer atomizers). I don't care at this point what the atomizer type is (cart, atty or tank) I just need something that is consistent when it comes to A: Life. and B: Vapor production. As most people probably do, I like a heavy, thick vape.

TL;DR version: I need a vaping solution that meets the following requirements:
1) Good vapor production.
2) CONSISTENT. When I need nicotine, I neeeeeed nicotine. (who doesn't?)
3) Doesn't break the bank. (I have about $100 to drop on a good system right now)
4) Somewhat easy to refill.

What I don't care about:
Size. Doesn't. Matter. I don't care if I'm carrying a backpack-battery pack, as long as the system is CONSISTENT.

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong? HELP!

Thanks in advance,
Scytzo

I am using an eGo mega dual coil cartomizer. It fits the eGo-T batteries and covers the external threads. It holds about 3 mils of fluid and will last me all day. They are a little spendy at $2.49 each but you can refill them a few times before you toss them.

Would that be the same item that's in this video?
eGo Mega CONE Atomizer Review and Mod Tip..... - YouTube

It looks nice, he talks it up pretty well. Refilling it seems like an absolute chore, though.

 

[Scytzo]

And where do you buy yours? I need a vendor that stocks supplies in the US of A... 2+ weeks for shipping hurts.

The eGo Mega atomizer is nice and I use just got one of those last week. Go take a look over at Madvapes and you will see the cartomizer I am talking about. The eGo Mega atomizer type B takes both cartridges and is pretty nice to drip with. The type B cartridge holds about 2 mils of fluids. I can empty one is about 2 hours The cartomizer on the other hand holds something a little over 3 mils and will last me all day and part of the next before it needs topping off.

I broke down and I started using a syringe to fill everything. It is much cleaner and a lot more accurate. I put clear scotch tape over the measurement markings to keep them from rubbing off. I insert the syringe between the wall of the cartomizer and the filler and gently push it all the down until it touches the bottom. I then start to gently squeeze the plunger and move it slowly to the top. I spin the carto a quarter turn and repeat until I have went all the way around. After going around once I will blow gently on the top to see if any juice has made into the center tube. If the center tube is clear and I have juice left in the syringe I'll repeat until the filler looks moist. Blow it out and your good to go.

Madvapes is good. I get other stuff from MyVaporStore. They are on the East Coast but they ship quickly and I have never had to wait more than three days to get an order.

If you looking for a West Coast vendor try Liberty Flights.

One last idea to throw into the mix. I have been using the eGo-T batteries for a couple of months now. A fully charged battery can last me three to four hours. The vape towards the end of the battery gets pretty week. I broke down last week and ordered a Buzz Pro. They are made by a vendor right here in California. They are a variable voltage device that ranges from something like 3.3 volts to 5.5 volts. I got an 510 to eGo-T adapter so the eGo dual coil cartos fit the Buzz Pro.

I set the wheel to about 3.7 volts and I get nice tasty vapes every time until the battery needs charging. I am getting about four to five hours on this setup so far. If you every decide to try high voltage vaping you just need to spin the wheel on the side to a higher voltage setting.

I am fairly new to the game here, but since you are from Cali, I know of a local supplier. They are called cigeasy.com - located in Riverside, so shipping will be quick. The only thing is that supply only deals with KR808D-1 type PV's. You can either buy a kit from there or find an adapter to fit KR808 cartomizers on your 510 batteries.

I am in no way affiliated with the shop, just passing on info, I did however order their elite 808 kit Monday morning and I am expecting it tomorrow, super fast shipping!

I totally agree on the dual coils from CCV. They don't hold as much as the eGo Mega Dual Coils so I use them for juices I am not sure I will like.
