Johnson Creek Vea or Joyetech eGo-T?

[boshans]

Hey all...new to the forum, kind of new to vaping. Tried it out years ago when they were first coming out, with the crappy SmokeAnywhere brand if any of you ever heard of it, but it totally sucked so I went back to analogs. Just started recently again with Blu, but as you all know, the batteries suck and I want more vapor, but at least I haven't really smoked an analog in two weeks because of it. I already have 6 bottles of juice from Johnson Creek, because I was going to fill the empty Blu carts with it, but I really rather just get a better setup. I was looking to get the eGo-T, but I read on a couple of other places that the atomizers die real fast, and I don't want to have to keep buying atomizers every week. But I like the whole idea of the tank system. The Vea doesn't look bad, I like that is uses cartomizers because that just seems easier to be able to throw them out and not have to worry about the atomizer.

I was going to get https://www.cignot.com/product_p/kit-egt-all.htm, I see that that site makes their own atomizers or something it looks like. Or at least makes it so the wick or whatever lines up correctly. But anyway, they are both low resistance right? Do they die really fast? Also do the Type-A vs the Type-B last any longer/shorter? I know the B just holds more liquid, but is there any other difference? Oh, and are the ego-T batteries pass through?

Also, what is the best site to get the eGo-T's from? Or just Joyetech products in general, there are soooo many, I have at least three bookmarked that sell them, and just found that cignot site that I posted a link to up there...that one seems pretty good, but I don't know. This is one of the reasons why I like the Vea also...they have one site that has everything on there, not a million that all sell it/sells something like it that might not be actually it.

I had to make a similar decision myself, and went with the eGo-C. The great thing about the eGo systems is that you can upgrade to a variety of different tank systems that attach to your eGo battery. The Vea looks like it's the same system, just branded differently... I'm willing to bet it's a 510 connector like the eGo, which may allow you some growth and flexibility in the future if you decide the smaller tank system isn't enough for you.

I figured out that the plastic tanks that come with the eGo-C aren't to my liking. They have a tip that is like a cigarillo (I.e. a "Swisher Sweet") but the way it attaches to the rest of the mechanism makes for a harder draw than I desired. I'm willing to be the Vea system is the same. I upgraded to a differ tank (a Stardust) that had a different feel to it, made more vapor, and was easier to draw from.

If you choose a Vea, I bet you'll have the same flexibility as an eGo, they just won't brand it that way. If that's important to you, either choice is fine. And I bet it will be important later on... It may seem easy and convenient right now, but make sure the Vea has potential flexibility as you'll end up desiring in the future whether you may believe you will or not... The eGo is a much more popular industry brand, which will make searching for new aspects to your vamping experience a lot easier on the Internet. Just a thought. : )

I know the Vea battery fits the Blu cartomizers and carts like them, and the Vea carts fit the blu battery, along with any other battery/cart that has that type of threading. the Vea uses a big cartomizer though, not a tank system like the ego-t, and the Vea is also a two piece design. I think I would like the tank system better...but I am just worried that since the ego-t is a three piece design, that the atomizer for the ego-t would die quickly, as i've seen people say in reviews. I basically was just wondering how fast the atomizer for the ego-t's die, because I think I would rather have a tank system than the cartomizer's that are in the Vea.

It says on the joyetech site that the ego-t battery is universal with the 510, 510-t, ego, and obviously ego-t. the Vea i am pretty sure is 510 threaded or whatever also, so basically, the vea battery would be able to accept ego-t atomizers correct? So if anything I could just order either one and be able to interchange parts, if I get the Vea and want to use cartomizers instead of an atomizer and cartridge I could, and If I want to use a tank system I could just put the tank and atomizer from an ego-t onto the Vea battery? Vea is out of stock right now anyway, so maybe I could just get the ego-t first, and then interchange vea parts with it later to try the cartomizers they have.

Either way, I guess my biggest question is how fast the atomizers die for the ego-t, because I don't want to have to be buying atomizers every week. Cartomizers don't last long I know that, probably 3-4 refills, but they are cheaper than getting one atomizer, and you get 5 in a pack instead of just one.

Also, how are the Kanger M3, T2, and T3's? I want to get a few M3's, but should I get T2's or T3's? Which one is better?

I have a Vea. I love it. It is made better and their cartomizers last longer than any I have found yet. It will take any 510 threaded cartos. Not sure on tanks though.

 

[aussiedog61]

+1 for the Vea. Great quality, long lasting battery, extra large cartos with your choice of 1.8 or the new 2.0 ohms.

 

[jafmf95]

The Vea battery is low voltage. Cartos will work on it, but clearos, tanks, and other delivery systems won't perform very well.

Go with an ego. A twist or spinner setup. You'll have much more flexibility moving forward.

I want more vapor...

Sorry, but your post reminded me of this video...

After a couple weeks of research I ordered a ego twist 1100 mah kit earlier got it for $43. Went with it because its so customizable. You can literally change every part of it out and the battery will last hours of serious vaping. You cant put a clearo or tank on the vea were as you can with the ego.

vea is just an ego style skin, 650mah is the low end, vea "cartomizers" are not very practical. underneath is the same ego battery. they are selling you just the shiny "brand", it's way overpriced in my opinion. you can get much better products elsewere.

i've been saving a ton of money with fasttech.com check out this 1300mah double kit $20.70 CE4S-P 6-in-1 Rechargeable 1300mAh Electronic Cigarettes Health Keeping Set - black / US plug adapter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

they also have variable voltage advanced mods check it out. it takes around 7-10 days to deliver, but is worth it.

 

[chellemmm]

I think the Vea carts are a little expensive. I like Johnson Creek, tho. They have GREAT customer service. I like some of their juices, too.

 

[arunem]

Those aren't genuine ego batteries Julopy aren't you scared of them?

 

[Statistic]

Haven't tried the Vea but I would heartily recommend an eGo-C Twist 1000mah. Fully charged it gets me well through a whole day and every tank I've tried has worked with it quite well.

 

[Julopy]

define "genuine", EGO is a style of battery NOT a brand. keep in mind all your ego batteries, regardless of the "brand", come from the same place, china. i have lots of ego style batteries, they all last near 300 recharge cycles.

 

[arunem]

Genuine-not catch fire or explode unexpectedly while charging

1100mah eGo-c Twist Kit [1100egoctwistblk] - $43.99 : JustVaping

Thats the kit I ordered earlier

Yep. Technically, ego is just the thread style, I believe. I wouldn't spend extra to have it say Joye on it. I prefer Spinners to Twists, but my "genuine" Vision Spinners don't work any better than my other OEM branded ones. Both are made in China and both will exploded if you mistreat them...

I saw a pictures on this forum yesterday were a ego twist style battery was left on the dresser it caught fire started to burn the dresser down the lady who was living in the house (who was also blind) smelt it walked over and got burnt by it as well. I'm trying to hunt it down for you to look at but these forums are huge and move so fast. Ever since seeing that thread last night im kinda scared of aftermarket batteries even though they are all made in the same factory probably by the same workers.

Cartomizers don't last long I know that, probably 3-4 refills, but they are cheaper than getting one atomizer, and you get 5 in a pack instead of just one.

Really? I'm getting a lot more fills than that out of my Boge. I tried a 510-T and I think I wrecked the atomizer. Went back to cartos. And I'm way past 3 or 4 fills...

The story of a Florida man whose e-cigarette exploded in his mouth has plagued e-cigarettes ever since. The truth is that this e-cigarette exploded because it was a “mod” e-cigarette, or in other words: one he’d built himself. Manufacturers build their reputation on the quality of their products, and institute rigorous safety checks and third-party testing to prevent this from happening. Plus, cell phones explode with unfortunate regularity, and all batteries inherently carry a small risk.

Yeah, people remember the last dramatic event but don't seem to ever tumble to the fact that lithium is volatile. Period.

It's also in every cell phone, every tablet computer, ever laptop... you name it. Anybody else remember the burning laptops back a few years? Those were fun.

People are putting lithium batteries near their, ahem, sensitive spots all the time. Especially with laptops. And lithiums can burn. Fortunately, after the laptop fires, some bright folks came up with a better tech and fires are exceedingly rare now. But there is always a small risk. Defects happen.

And bad as an e-cig popping off in one's face sounds, imagine the much bigger battery of a laptop going off in one's lap...

(That hurts just to think about!)
