Right behind you...
Well aint that funny! Have you been getting any off-flavors with the subtank like some people have mentioned? Hopefully the ego One's heads will be similarly simple to rebuild, unfortunately my order didn't come today so I can't find out. Tracking says Sunday delivery so I'm crossing my fingers!

I'm really really surprised at the apparent lack of interest in the eGo one, everyone seems obsessed with the atlantis but this is basically the same thing in a smaller package, which people tend to like as well (judging by the popularity of the istick)

I don't really care what vape gear others are interested in, but the less popular it is the less likely we'll see any sort of aftermarket parts or accessories from Joye so I'm hoping once it's out for awhile it's popularity will increase.

Yeah, pure-d funk with the stock coils and wicks. Change out the wicks, still funk. What you'd imagine vaping your favorite juice mixed with ripe gym socks would taste like. But change wicks AND coils, good flavor. Same issue with the RBA deck. Long story short, I think there's something wrong with Kanger's cotton in some kits, or the machine oil they used, or aliens or Wall Street bankers or something...

As for the eGo One, I think the big reason people are more "in to" the Atlantis over the Ego One is a lot more North American B&M shops carry Aspire products these days than Joyetech (which also makes it easier to get replacement heads in a pinch, etc).

Lets also not forget that Atlantis has been building buzz for what, four or five months now? And it's been in consumer hands for most of that time, so there's ample proof it's a solid product. The eGo one got dropped on the public around Xmas, and just hit the shelves this week. It's got some catching up to do.

Also seems that Joye still has some "stigma" with the advanced vapers as newb gear (albeit high quality newb gear). But it looks like they're working hard to change that with the One and Delta II tank among other things.

Anyone else think a twist version of the ego one would be pretty cool? And maybe adding a 22mm twist version with slightly higher capacity?

Not terribly interested in stocking new coils for a new tank, and I'm too used to regulated devices to deal with voltage drop off. But if they could make a twist version and deliver the same amps with a similarly small size, I'd be a buyer.

An RBA head for this might get me interested in the matching tank

That said, this looks like a pretty nice kit for new folks. Looks way more impressive than what I started on.

That would definitely be nice to have it be VV/VW!

I'm so bummed, my "overnight" package with my eGo One was supposed to arrive on Sunday (with a money back guarantee before 3:00PM no less) and here we are on Monday (PO is closed due to MLK day) and still no package. I have my doubts about it even arriving on Tuesday as the tracking hasn't been updated in 3 days, since it left Hawaii, so I'm worried that it's been lost. Hopefully it didn't fall out of the back of the plane while crossing the ocean ;)

Anyone know, as the receiver of the item do I have to request the money back from USPS, or does the shipper have to take care of it? I paid like $30 for overnight shipping, with a guarantee, so you can bet I'll be getting it back one way or another, just trying to figure out if I should bother Eciggity about it or go straight to USPS myself. Normal priority mail would have got it here Tuesday so I'm just a tad .......

I just got shipment of the Joyetech Ego One XL kit for my shop. The kit contains the 2200 mah battery, atomizer tank with a .5 and a 1.0 ohm coil, charging cord, wall plug and two drip tips (one glass, one metal). It is a cool setup. The tank that comes with the 2200 kit holds 2.5 ml of liquid. This is a great item for a vaper looking to upgrade to sub ohm without having to buy a separate tank and new mod. The kit is very inexpensive that way.

Here's the caviat - Since the battery will read a .5 coil, you can run the Subtank or Atlantis on it. In fact, I threw my Subtank on it and it fired beautifully. So as an "extra" mod for your existing Subtank or Atlantis, it's a great buy.

Just got my ego One about an hour ago, so far I'm very impressed! It's definitely ego build quality, not bad by any means, but not up to par with rebuildables/mechs/higher end regulated devices, feels solid enough though!

Performance is excellent, better than I expected. I'm running the .5 ohm head and it puts out vapor on par with an Orchid at 30-35 watts, although flavor is slightly muted compared to a Kayfun or Orchid, that might change as the coil breaks in though I'm not sure. I've been chain vaping the hell out of it and not a single dry hit, and the battery never got the slightest bit warm, although the atty heats up quite a bit during chain-vaping.

Airflow is great, wide open it's again comparable to the Orchid, and closed off to a more kayfun-ish draw the flavor definitely improves.

I threw it on a regulated device and it seems to be good up until about 35-38 watts, I'm glad I got some extra heads for this because I feel I'll be using it a lot!

Hey,

I actually bought the ego one based on your review last week!

Anyways, my atomizer base is stuck to the atomizer and I've tried to use a plier with no effect. It actually got stuck a couple of times in the 2 days I had it but always came off with the use of a plier. But looks like its stuck for good now. Can you recommend any cheap atomizers I can buy to replace it? Don't want another ego one atomizer because I really don't trust them anymore. Looking for something around $25 as I've already spent so much money on this device!

Any advice would be great guys!

So far I've ran the following juice through my ego One with the same .5 coil, half the time on the ego one battery and the other half on a regulated device at 38W

15ml bottle of Cashmere Millionaires Tartan
7ml (2x3.5ml syringe) of G2 Cactus Juice
7ml (2x3.5ml syringe) of G2 Dr Green

For a total of nearly 30ml, performance is still great, not a single dry hit, the coil is darkened but not gunky, seems to have plenty of life in it. If the other coils have a similar life I can see myself never buying another rebuildable, thinking about the Delta II tank now, Joye has won me as a fanboy!

The only issue I've encountered so far is that after sitting overnight there was a slight gurgle for the first puff, I'm not sure if storing liquid in the tank for long periods of time would result it more significant leakage but figured it was worth mentioning.

My Orchids and kayfuns have been sitting neglected since I got the eGo One, vaping truly has come a long way, never thought I'd see off the shelf clearos with this type of performance.

With the .5 ohm head it's dealing with around 8 amps, while the twists have a limit of 3 amps. Basically it's more of a shrunken down subohm rta/mech setup than an oversized ego battery
Can you please elaborate a bit further what that means in regard to wattage/voltage. I assume the performance decreases steadily with the discharge!?



Now I'm trying to think back to what rebuildables are 19mm
Good ol' Atomic RDA!
The Erl RTA is just a little too big - but might still look ok as it has this rounded airflow section at the bottom.

Dang, that's too bad. Sounds like there might have been a problem with your threads. I would consider contacting Joye for a replacement if you can take some pictures. I wouldn't mention the pliers, though :p

I've seen the Joye One atomizer online for $17...there's really nothing on the market right now that can compete at that price and lets you use <1 ohm atomizers. That's the appeal of the One. That said, I have had very good luck with Kanger products. The new Subtank nano is about $30 and probably worth it. It should fit on your battery. If you want something slightly cheaper, I'm a huge fan of the Kanger Aero/Genitanks, but you'll be limited to >1 ohm. The Geni is about $18 and looks like a newer version of the Aero. I think they are the same size as your battery but you might want to confirm. Aspire tanks (Nautilus ~$30 and Atlantis ~$35) are also very popular, but will be slightly wider than your battery (they will work, just won't look the best). The Atlantis will let you go to ~0.5 ohms like the Kanger Subtanks and the One.

A truly mechanical device will simply give you the output that the battery contains... As you use it, the voltage drops, so you're going to get lower and lower voltage. This was my biggest gripe with mechanical tubes...They work great for about 15 hits and then you notice an increasingly weaker hit. This is one reason why a lot of the modders carry around a little bag full of batteries.

Someone should confirm this with the One. I'm not sure if it is truly a "mech" device, and I wouldn't be surprised if Joye had some sort of regulation in there. But I'm just guessing.

Yes indeed, as the battery drains the wattage drops as well.. With a freshly charged battery the eGo One should (in theory, not accounting for voltage drop under load) be putting out ~35 watts, and as the battery gets down to 3.4v or so the wattage will decrease to ~23 watts. The numbers are pretty rough since the coil heads are going to vary slightly from unit to unit, and voltage drop under load means even with a freshly charged battery the coils aren't seeing a full 4.2v. I'd guess actual power with a fully charged battery is a hair over 30w, and then drops to about 20 before it needs to be recharged.

Closing off the airflow a bit as the battery drains seems to get back the flavor up to a point, but overall you're basically dealing with a mech mod as far as the whole power decrease goes.

Good call on the Atomic! I always thought that was a snazzy atty but never had anything but 22mm devices, might be worth picking up as a juice testing atty.

I have used this device, excellent!!!!:evil:

Well I have just discovered it and in spite of an extensive collection of regulated devices, mechanicals and RBA's, I am still excited about it. I also turned a sour face when I first heard "Ego", but then I found out what it was, what it looked like, and how it works and now I can't wait to get one. I think its very attractive, and I am really looking forward to using it. :)
 
Ego One started out really nice but it has turned in to a nightmare. It will run ok for a little while then floods. The atty sticks to the head so it has be reseated every time I open it to add juice or clean it out from the last flooding. It just a hassle to take that extra step. Joyetech did mention the atty would stick, but I ignored it. The head doesn't sit exactly flush to the base which bothered me but didn't seem to affect the performance but a big dislike. So I thought about buying a new head, but, I can't get the base off of the battery. I changed the atty but the .05 spits burning juice. I have emailed the place I bought it from and hoping I can exchange it for a new one.
