ty hollyberry lol pass it everyday never noticed it lol. ty all for your great input from what i have read they all have pros and cons i just dont want to get something and it discourage me from e cig or vaping by having to constantly do something with it . thank goodness for this site and its members where a newbie can get great info lol at least now i know the scam sites when i see them lol
 
After being a smoker for over 20 years, I picked up my first ecig from a coworker. It was the Ego-T.....worked great for the first week. Then the problems began......first it doesnt give you a good throat hit like an analog does, so I found myself vaping it constantly in search of the replacement feeling to an actual cig. I had problems with leaking like crazy (not sure if I was just vaping too much which was causing the juice to be sucked out of the tank like a vaccuum, or if the constant removing and replacing the cap of the tank weakened the seal). I would be vaping and vaping then I would hear a gurgurling sound...and next thing I knew my hand would be covered in juice, and what a mess that is to clean up. After seeing about a billion video reviews of dripping I decided to give it a try, and decided to go for the LR306......WOW is all I can say, great throat hit, nice warm vapor, and I cant say enough about the flavor (didnt find much flavor in the Ego-T). I dont feel dripping is a big deal....I can drip faster than the time it took me to get a cig out of the pack and light it, and I can change flavors just as fast.

I cant and will never say anything bad about the Ego-T......it got me off analogs, and it is an easy system to start on (key word there...start on).....the key thing you need to do is really make the choice yourself from the info people pass on from thier own experiences with ecigs. Good luck and happy vaping.

i tried green smoke not worth it . then got a ego t , its great not really a lot of maintenance . sometimes adjusting the wick ,not really that hard , refill the tank like any other cart . out of 4 attys one needed adjusting . my advice is try all three ways cart/tank/drip , and you can do all that for 50 dollars on top of that you can also try the passthru . just go to cignot and buy there pass thru kit .

Joye eGo Passthru Kit*
Our Price: $50.00

Included in this kit is the eGo Passthru, 2 - 510 atomizers, 5 - 510 Cartridges, 1 - Atomizer Cover, 1 - 510 Delrin Drip Tip, 2 - 510 Cartomizers and 1 - Liquid

forgot to tell you , incase you dont know . that ego pass thru is a 900mah battery , so you can plug it in to your pc /laptop . to charge ,and use at the same time . then unplug it ,and use it as a stand alone battery. i work for the railroad sometimes 12 hour days ,and i can vape the whole time . i have yet to completly drain a fully charged 900 batt . got close once it was flashing . i have a 650mah batt as back up .

The ego-t was great for about a week or two, then it started leaking, it flooded the atty, leaked in my mouth ugh I just got so disgusted I almost threw the crap away and started back on analogs... I didn't want to throw everything away that I had bought, so I got some clearomizers and use them with the ego batteries. I don't have any problems with them at all and you get alot more flavor from the clearomizer than you do the ego tanks.

Janty Jets are the best for new Users as they are much more easy to use. trust me, the Battery seriously can last for 1 day full vaping.

AGREE!!! My first e-cig is/was the Janty Jet. It's basicly the same exact thing as the joye eGo-Tank.. except that the joye version is just a copy/clone. Janty invented the tank system, has better quality control, and the Jets DO NOT LEAK! Plus they have the best warrentee in the buisness.

You'll have to get used to it though... not like holding a regular cig in your hand. if thats what you're looking for, I'd recommend the Blood Max Fusion (krd808-1)

I think the ego t would be perfect for a beginner the carts I found to be way to finicky. There is tons of helpful info on here on keeping the ego t working well. Most of it I had figured out on my own before I found this forum. I am finding it to be so simple and easy it's 1 month for me tomorrow since last analog couldn't have done it with the carts they were too much of a pain in the a**. If you need stronger flavor just steep your juice I accidentally steeped one of mine (didn't know that's what I was doing learned by mistake ) wow it's so strong now almost have to thin it down. Use thin juice vg is kinda too thick keep your juice warm if you like lots hopefully you are happy with it if that's what you choose. Good luck either way

im on week 2 of vaping, i have a ss choice no.7 micro, and am going to an ego 510, so i figure ill eventually get to the tank upgrade. but as it stands, just like everyone else here pretty much says. i will take around 2-3 vapes to find the one that works best for you.
sorry forgot, although i was thinking of getting the ego-t right away, I'm tech savvy person and usually like jumping right into the complex aspect of hobbies.

I would recommend ego-t for a newbie because of its ease of use. But personally, I think it's not my kind of choice (been vaping for almost 3 months already). I've got my self 84mm, SDMKII, 501 and ego-T. I'd prefer SDMKII and 501 rather than ego-T. So much problems for me when using ego-T. Well I know its easy to just refill the tank and vape, but the vapor the flavor is just not satisfying enough for me. Lack of vapor and flavor. But its worth a try for a newbie. Just my two cents.

The T attys have a four day half-life.

That hasn't been my experience. I'm a newbie. Been at this close to three weeks. For me, with some fiddling, the eGo-T has worked pretty well. I'm a techie type and in my spare time I do things like pull car engines. So, for me tinkering isn't an issue. That said, I decided to at least try something else and some 510 atomizers, cartridges and a drip tip were pretty cheap. I don't see the fascination with dripping. At least, not yet. However, i get a lot more flavor with the carts. Every couple hours I have to refill but, that's not much of a problem for me and right now, it's worth the difference in flavor. That's not to say that I won't find some issues later.

I will say that when I take off the cone on the ego there's usually some leakage inside but, that stays in the cone. If you were to use a standard 510 battery, that would be an issue. Then you'd really need to use cartomizers.

I have some DIY juice supplies coming, I may try mixing up some more strongly flavored juice for the eGo-T.

I can't recommend it. The attys aren't ready for prime-time. If you do get it, make sure to get some spare T attys and some backup 510 attys or cartomizers.

The T attys have a four day half-life.

Funny, my T attys are going on a month, with dark juices that supposedly kill the tanks system. I would absolutely recommend the Ego-T to a newbie. Most of the problems seem to stem from early units and not more recent ones. Mine never leaks, no atty problems, good vapor, smooth draw, and great battery life.

Just got my Inferno-T today, and it hits like a champ. Maybe not as good as a cisco on a drip tip, but compared to a kr808, it's killin me. Going to take some getting used to. Seems like it goes through juice fast though. In 15 minutes of vaping I've already gone through a good portion of the first tank. Could also be because I blew out the primer and it just had to wick enough to fill the resivoir. It feels very satisfying in my hand. Like holding an expensive pen. Draw is smooth, where the kr808 has some resistance. I find myself taking much larger vapes than I'm used to/mean to. Got the pineapple punch juice, and it tastes great!
