I love it. It is amazing the difference between it and the 510 i feel like it will actually help me stop smoking! I had a couple questions i've been looking at getting drip tips and wanted to know since the mouth of the drip tip is bigger do you tend to get more juice in your mouth? Also i was surprised when i got my ego it does not have a led at the front of it?!? Are there eGo batteries you can buy that have the LED on the front. I just like having it but if there isnt its not a huge deal.

Congrats on your new equipment! I love my EGO as well. I've never seen a batt w/LED on tip for an EGO. Let me know how you like the drip tip. I have yet to try it.

Forgot to say...was able to quit analogs completely with the use of EGO so don't give up.

The LED is at the switch, when you press it the light will come on. As far as drip tips are concerned, all are not created equal. I prefer the wide mouth opening, makes it easier for the juice to drip down to the atty, I've had a couple of drip tips that will actually pool up at the top and sometimes don't notice it....then comes the mouthful of juice...thankfully I vape Backwoods Brew so it doesn't taste too bad :p.

I was initially attracted to the 510 because it looked similar to a cigarette (LED on the tip, etc). But since I got my Ego, I've abandoned all pretence of wanting to smoke something cigarette-like. Vaping is WAY better, and now I couldn't care less what it looks like. In fact, I rarely use the 510 now. I prefer the Ego style.

How is backwoods brew ive been wanting to try them ive heard a lot of good things

All I can say is that if you start off with BwB you'll be banging your head against the wall trying to find a juice that "bests" it, lol! I really don't know how these juices are made, but if you want consistently good juices across the board, then you should definitely try them out. There are a ton of great reviews in the e-liquid forum.
Happy Vaping ~ L.

Hi and welcome to the world of Egos :) Its a good all round vape. I too started on a 510, and found the Ego to be a far more comfortable solution.

Regarding your question about drip tips, I guess you're looking for the Holy Grail of vaping? :) I know its like a ladder each step you climb costs you time and money.

I've gone from

- 510 atty+cartridge
- 510 atty+strawmod+cartridge
- 510 atty+highping+cartridge
- 510 cartomizers (old type with rubber stops)
- 510 PT + old cartos

The both my 510 batteries died, got an Ego...

Since then my path goes:

Ego+old cartos
Ego+dripping with empty cartridge
Ego+dripping with drip tip
Ego+New JoyeTech Ego Cartomizers.

Best thing I've found to date is the new JoyeTech Ego Cartomizers. They're a very good reliable vape, as good as the best direct dripping. Downside is you need to fill them with a syringe.

My tips are:

- Never buy old type rubber stop cartomizers, they're crap.
- Watch out for buying a metal / chrome drip tip, might seem cool / classy, but reality is do you really want metal in your mouth all the time?
- Dripping is a bit of an art, I guess you're supposed to master, call me stupid but after 2 months of vaping I still get juice in my mouth from dripping with or without a drip tip. Maybe I overfill who knows...
- Keep your atties facing down overnight in an atty bed or on a paper towl so they can drain. Before you go to bed, you can give them 3 hard blows from the battery side to flush out any excess juice. This removes any harsh taste by morning.
- I've had 1 LR atty, and I don't like it. I know I'll get flamed for this, but I think a decent regular atty with an Ego battery can give you a better vape than an LR atty.

Congrats and hope you find your holy grail!

I have both the joye original and LR attys and use both kinds, however when switching flavors and looking for a clean atty, I found myself searching for the original and if all I had left of clean ones were LRs, then I would use them. After discovering that I was doing this, I realized I liked the taste and smoothness of the "original" vape better. Now I'm trying to stock up on more of them, but they're spendier than the LRs :(.

Next step is trying out the xl CE2s I've been reading all the rave reviews on...

Ego is a little better with the larger battery, but it blossoms when you change to the Ego mega cylinder atty. Taste is much better with the larger atomizer coil.

Awesome Vapor has them under the name "Ego Monster atomizer" for $12. It's a genuine Joye Mega Type B Cylinder atty with the initials AV printed on it.

The eGo is my 4th e-cig and I wish it had been my first, I absolutely love it. The battery life is great, I can go out and never have the worry of being without a good battery. After the initial shock of it being bigger and no led light on the end which was short lived, I found it the most comfortable to use. I think everyone should try one, it is that great. I started dripping a few weeks ago and I won't go back to carts or cartos again. I use the deldrin tip which is plastic and inexpensive and fits the eGo nicely. I rarely get juice in my mouth, I fill up a small 3 ml bottle in the morning and I am good to go all day. Just a tip I found a hard covered camera case at walmart, put a hook clip on it and snap it onto my purse, it fits my ego with drip tip, my extra battery and my juice and it hangs straight so no juice will leak out of the tip while I am shopping.
Congrats on your new best friend, enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

The drip tip actually works! Here's the trick: put 2-3 drops into the tip and then blow into in gently, try to make it sound like a flute. That pushes all the juice down into the atty. I never get any in my mouth that way.

As for an eGo with a light on the end, I think I saw something like that called the eGo-N here: TV EGO-N Starter kits

I use an aluminum Super-T T-Tip, and I don't find it a problem at all. I don't bite it either. It's actually a bit more comfortable than the delrin, I think because it's a bit smoother. Also, the delrin will chip more easily if you drop it, and that's even less comfortable.

I don't do anything to drain my atties overnight either, and I don't have any problems with harsh taste. Might be the juice you're using?

The eGo cone will extend just a bit past the end of the atty, so the length of your drip tip won't matter.
