I don't understand the eGos, and that's what I USE.

I have no idea what the difference is between eGo, eGo Mega, eGo T, eGo C, eGo Blah Blah 1.1 part B yadda yadda.

I wouldn't even really care except for that I fried my atty with some dark liquid and I have no idea which one I'm supposed to buy. I don't even know which one I own anymore. When I got the starter kit from TheVaporPro it just said "eGo". I bought a replacement battery and it shipped to me stamped with the words "eGo-C". It looks the same except longer but who the hell knows?

I barely even know what a "tank" is, I just prefer refillable cartridges. I've been vaping for a long enough time that I figured I knew a thing or two, but when it comes down to it I don't know ....!

Also TheVaporPro is sold out of every single atomizer they sell so even if I did understand how this crap works I'd be screwed because I don't know any other vendors to buy from.

TVP even has a chart on their website that I don't understand at all. I'm so so so so so so frustrated and bummed that I'm back to nasty-... cigarettes because I can't for the life of me figure out what stuff I need other than buying an entirely new starter kit for 80 bucks.

Been there......Heck, we all have

Basiclly all you really need to know is that your divice uses "510" threads. So, most anything will work.

Go getcha some boge 2.0 cartos, fill 'em and vape away.

Crystal clear vaping has free shipping. Good vendor there.

There are youtube vids that show how to fill properly. If I wernt on my phone i'd go into more detail for you.

It looks like TheVaporPro only sells the eGo-T in kits. Do you recall yours saying Type-A or Type-B? The difference is in the shape of the mega atomizer. The Type-A is more cone shaped, while the Type-B is a cylinder with the same diameter at top and bottom. All eGo batteries have the same fittings, so any 510 or eGo atomizer or cartomizer will work. If you want to stick with the atomizer and cartomizer setup you've been using, though, the eGo-T appears to be what you want.

Lots of places have the replacement atomizers. Litecig is one that comes to mind.

An eGo-C is the newer e-Go it has more built in safety features or something. The same... just newer. You don't need a new starter kit. eGo batteries are fantastic. Just stick with cartomizers if you like them!! Most of us do.

Here is a link to a pic of the different batteries. I buy all my stuf from Health Cabin, but I'm sure someone will be along soon with some other vendors.

Here is a pic of my eGo's. Note how different they all look? Well they are all eGo's lol.

I don't remember it saying anything about type A or type B. My atomizer is cylindrical though so I guess that makes it type-B.

If any eGo battery works with any eGo atty/cart, then it doesn't matter what I pick right?

I'm just confused because all of their products come stamped with the name on it, i.e eGo-C or eGo-T. Mine just say eGo. Are they three different products, or is one just an updated version of the other or...?

Also I don't understand the difference between a cartridge and a cartomizer.

Thanks for the help guys.

Edit: Sorry I was in the middle of replying and got called to work, this was supposed to be sent ages ago. I'm listening I swear. :p

eGo really refers to the battery unit. It has a 510 connector that accepts a variety of heads or attachments including atomizers, cartomizers and "clearomizers".

The eGo-T eGo-C and eGo-X refer to systems that attach to the eGo and basically are atomizers with a small tank that delivers juice. They are more popular with vendors, as far as I can see, than with users. They tend to leak and/or to give burnt taste and/or to have poor flavor and vapor production.

A cartridge is a fairly obsolete way to feed juice to an atomizer - it basically is a mouthpiece that contains some filler material that gets soaked in juice. It can hold 6-7 drops of juice if you're lucky and it performs poorly compared to today's standards.

A cartomizer is a generic term for a head that contains both the heating unit and a way to hold and feed juice in one: cartidge+atomizer = cartomizer, originally.

There are several types - most basic contains a filler material rolled up inside; the most representative / popular would be the Boge LR cartomizer. Others vary in size and resistance. For an eGo any LR cartomizer would be a great fit. However, you should probably stay away from "dual coil" cartomizers. Have your fill of cartomizers here: Crystal Clear Vaping

Another type of cartomizer is the filler-less cartomizer, sometimes referred to as "clearomizers" based on a popular incarnation. These usually have an empty tube and wicks that bring the juice either up or down to a coil. Hence top coil and bottom coil. Some of the more popular right now are the Vision eGo cartomizer (aka CE4+ or the Stardust) and the Pheonix bottom coil.

Hope this makes things a little clearer.

A cartomizer is a one piece thing, ie. the cartridge and the atomizer are all in one (long, long ago they used to be two). An atomizer (these days) is used for dripping or in a tank system like with the eGo-T or eGo-C or eLips or iTaste etc.

IMHO, a cartomizer is the easiest to get you vaping. The T tanks and other big tanks can be played with at a later date. Another option is a clearomizer type. Like in my pic (no. 2 & 10). Those are Vision/Stardust cE4 clearomizers. It is a tank system with a built in atty... kind of... Also very easy to use. Fill and vape. No leaking, no fuss.

I use the stardust things they work amazing for me, im new at this too, about 6 -8 bucks last about 3 weeks, I use one per flavor and just pull em off and screw another flavor on, maybe not most cost effective but it works lol
Welcome dnrtn. No, that is the way most of us use our clearomizers and cartomizers, ie. one flavor to a dedicated device. Sounds like you need a few more batteries then you won't need to unscrew so often hehe...

Thanks for the welcoming,
I unscrew whatever tank i have off, and replace it with another tank (different flavor) same battery. its similar to the stardust but its the saturn piper atomizer tank holds about 1.6 ml i like it better than the atomizer it came with. I dont like the squared tips.
