Is the Ego-T worth it????

[txtumbleweed]

I didn't have much luck with my ego-t but alot of people have. It depends what you are looking for if you want an all day vaporizer the Go-Go is the best I've found. It is a 1300 mah batt and uses a 3 ml carto that will last most people most of the day. Cartos are only 3.00 ea and last for weeks and is very consistant hit after hit. The two I'm using right now I've been using for 23 days and re-filled about that many times or more without cleaning and they are working the same today as they were 23 days ago. They are 60.00 for a kit with two batt and five cartos plus 10 ml of juice from cigeasy. If that isn't what your looking for I would go with the Riva 650 kit from Liberty Flights for 30.00.

I use the 1.5 ohm 510's on my ego batt's all the time it's no problem. Morgy if your willing to spend upwards of 130'ish why not get a reo ? They are so easy and low maintenance. I find with my bored out 510 lr atty's I only have to clean them every week or so. Beyond that change the batt every morning and add juice once a day or so depending on how much you vape. They are the simplest easiest vape IMO

I don't know exactly what kind of battery cell is used in the eGo/Riva, but I have seen how nasty the injuries can be if a battery is asked to do things it wasn't designed to do. Considering this is really close to your face when in use....I don't take chances.

For vaping regularly below 2ohms, I'd consider getting something with bigger batteries (the physicial size) and nice heavy duty switches designed for this type of load to vape with those really low resistance values.

The batts are in a case it's highly unlikely to be of any kind of issue. And the lr ego t atty's are 1.5 to 1.8 any ways.

Scottbee fried some Riva batts vaping LR 1.5Ω and I'm not sure if he expanded his warning to eGo's as well - I know he has a problem with the regulated aspect but not sure if that was part of it. ....and you're close - the mega eGo attys A and B are 1.5Ω while I'm metering out the t-A's at 1.7-1.8 and the B's at 1.9Ω - only checked a few.

I've been using the lr's for two months now. I am using the 1000 mah batts if that makes a diff I'd suspect it would.

An 'unvented' case makes it all the more dangerious (eGo's probably have a weak point in the casing for venting)...but if you are comfortable with it..enjoy

And I agree...around the 1.8 range should be ok. Just so folks know the eGo is designed, tested, and rated to be safe at 2.5ohms or so.

Thanks so much for all of your help!! SOOO helpful! Best place for Ego-t purchase?? Thanks!

Whre do you get the LR tank attys?

You can get both at cignot.com.

If you are referring to the REO, the recommended batteries are safe chemistry AW IMR's, and the REO has about a 3/4 sq. in. hole in the door, so I'm not understanding your point.

Not talking about REO...the thread is about eGo tanks, then it got off on LR T atties on eGo and Riva batteries.

I think REO Mini's can use your choice of battery types. The Grand can definately take the bigger batteries, and yes, the case is well vented.

My POINT is if you're going to vape at 1.5ohms on a regular basis, consider getting larger batteries than eGo/Riva.

Yes but go with the lr atty. It blows through juice faster but has better flavor and vapor production imho.

I agree, why take a chance with your ego or riva batteries and worse case a fire or a big bang that might hurt you.

Sorry, I misunderstood...point taken

I love my eGo-T. I first started with a 4081 because it was similar to an analog. Quickly moved on to an 801 penstyle and couldn't stand that I wasn't getting a good th. The last one I've bought was my tank system. I love it! I've had my atty for 4 months now and the only complaint I have is that on ocassion I will get a burnt chemical flavor, this goes away if I don't hit it continually and take smaller hits. The batteries last me 2 days and I refill my tanks one to two times a day(depending on my stress level for that particular day). I hope this helped!

Gott tell ya, my eGo T experience is not that good. I started with the regular ego polly tips a atomizers. I decided to try a tank A-type so my wife didn't have to fuss with it. It worked great for a week so I ordered another. About then it started leaking into the the mouthpiece and onto the battery (like it was wicking too much). Set it flat... hold it differently... doesn't matter. The second one had poor taste and little vapor. Now I see you can adjust the wick, drill holes or soak them in Vodka. All that messing around was what I was trying to avoid. I've heard the LR eGo tanks are better...but I'm done wasting time.

I'm going back to the poly fill w/ A type atomizer and drinking the Vodka. It's more enjoyable and less work. I think I'm going to end up a cartomizer kind of guy.

Maybe so but my impression was OP was after the best bang for her buck I have a ego t and love it but shortly moved to a reo for obvious advantages. I was simply trying to help the OP make a more informed decision and possibly save her a few dollars. no disrespect meant just simple advice. As I said I think the tank is a great unit but there is better available. It's all about making an informed decision.

Not a problem I'm gonna get a REO someday

I got mine at My Vapor Store. Their attys seem to be built better (the first one I had for 5 or 6 weeks but I blew it out last night trying to dry burn the gunk off, totally my fault) I got the kit with 2 attys and 2 1000 mah bats. I absolutely love it. I also recommend MVS's tanks, they sell the black ones with a window. Also, fill with a syringe instead of taking the cap off. And no, they really don't like thick juices. Best way to clean is polident. Makes my attys work like new.

Great information on this post! I have to say I am not a fan of the box looking type of PV.. It looks like a remote control for a car.. I hear GREAT things about it, but I could just build one of those.. The rio grand is $130, on sale, and You could build it for Like $30-$40 But you would have to take time routering/sanding/ polish wood and such. Sooo perhaps the labor value is what its about?

Anyway, thanks so much. I'm am going for the Ego-T, one with LR type B and one with Reg type B. 1000mah batts. The black, white and stainless are the only non-knock offs right? I'm going to try cignots? Anyone have a great expierence with a vendor I should check out?? (Worst part about getting new PV's is looking for the right vendor). You guys rock, I love this forum.

For the eGo T, Cigonts is a great choice. They sell a lot of those and are committed to them and take pride in taking care of the folks to whom they sell them.
