Let the Confusion begin!!! Ego-T Type A (original) and Type B (bigger I guess)

[MitchellBeans]

Yep. Ego-T was such a smash success that now I read there is a type B ... so now original is called Type A.

Type A has the normal T atomizer .. which is weak and easily floods... and an LR atomizer which is compatible, works better, and is in general superior.

I suppose Type B, from what I can tell, uses yet ANOTHER atomizer, but as the atomizer itself has more metal mesh and is larger should flood less often, and a bigger tank, which means it will flood anyway cause the stupid bigger wick will drink it down at a higher rate...??

So perhaps now Type B will fix the problems from Type A, which in itself almost fixed itself with the LR version, which was not available initially, but in itself wil fall victim to the wicking problems of the original non-LR type A ?? In a month will we then have Type B atomizers that are LR and work better until Type C, which holds more .... etc etc ???

Have fun, friends!

Thanks, but no thanks. I will take my ego (minus the "t") with a lr atty and a cart with blue foam ANY day.

Better yet, I will just use my new Go-Go and avoid all the BS.

The type B has only been available a few days, I'm not aware that anyone actually has them to test out yet. Why do you think its only "bigger" than the type A? I'd guess the retailers have given much feedback to the manufacturer, so I'm hoping they will be a big improvement over the type A.

The achilles heel has always been the wick, either too loose or not positioned properly, surely the manufacturers don't want to kill enthusiasm for their new product by just continuing more of the same. I'm watching the HUGE thread (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/139915-new-ego-tank-system.html) to see how it checks out.

I was reading about it. I have no idea if it will be better or worse or whatever. What I DO see is is extreme fragmentation ... if the ego-t was great, why have another version that needs its own atty and tank??

I personally can afford every few months spending $25 on the newest atty or whatever. I do not however see the reason why they keep making specially made atomizers for specially made tanks / carts ...

 

[cofgrindr8]

I saw these at cignot and when i was looking at the atomizer for type B....it says "This is the Type B atomizer for the eGo-T system. It is used in conjunction with the eGo-T Type B Tank (sold separately)"

Does that mean if you have a type A already that your batteries are worthless for this....or are they talking about the refill tank. It's confusing to me because i've seen the ego t referred to as the "tank".

 

[MitchellBeans]

all the eGo / 510 batteries work with it ... I just do not see why all the different atomizer / tank debacle. It is almost like we are beta testers....

 

[Sgt.Taz]

It's good to make money while you test.... Anyway, I'll sit this out until my LR eGo's fail. then enough time will have passed that we'll know which one to pick

 

[BenJammin]

The way I am led to understand it, when using any eGo device: Type A refers to the "cone style" atomizer and Type B refers to the "cylinder style" or "mega" atomizer; regardless of whether you are using Tanks, Cartridges, or Cartomizers.

In a way we are, for the rest of the world.

MitchellBeans:Yep. Ego-T was such a smash success that now I read there is a type B ... so now original is called Type A.


The type A and B designations are not new. There are type A and B mega eGo attys as well. Just a continuation of that designation which actually is not confusing for those who knew of the other ones.

Type A has the normal T atomizer .. which is weak and easily floods... and an LR atomizer which is compatible, works better, and is in general superior.

Not everyone is having those problems. Most in fact do not. Those that do, though are more vocal about it - iow, same as any other product. See the dangerous cartomizer thread and some CE2 threads, just for an example - but there are a lot of people that use them successfully.

I suppose Type B, from what I can tell, uses yet ANOTHER atomizer, but as the atomizer itself has more metal mesh and is larger should flood less often, and a bigger tank, which means it will flood anyway cause the stupid bigger wick will drink it down at a higher rate...??

Why would you speculate such a negative outcome - you don't have any real knowledge of it yet - only a few do and I haven't seen that said about them.

So perhaps now Type B will fix the problems from Type A, which in itself almost fixed itself with the LR version, which was not available initially, but in itself wil fall victim to the wicking problems of the original non-LR type A ?? In a month will we then have Type B atomizers that are LR and work better until Type C, which holds more .... etc etc ???

Again, you're speculating and assuming the negative, when most people that have eGo-ts are happy with their performance.

 

[Sgt.Taz]

I didn't have any leaking problems with the original other than for me it was a lower vapor output. I tend to think that those of us who use higher voltage and mods have unrealistic expectations myself included. My wife loves her reg resistance eGo-T and has never complained. She does not use the mod unless she's sneaking a vape off of one of mine sitting around and she does not inhale nearly as much as I do. So I would say for the most part the more experienced would find issue with the vapor production on a regular one. I also started out with aftermarket clear & blue tanks which seem to have a bit of a different size (tad bigger) nothing major but I suspect it's why I never had the leaking problem. You have to take the reviews with a grain of salt as what works for someone does not work for everyone. Just try and make an informed pick to your ideals and run with it.

Mitchell, have you actually tried any of those atomizers? Or are you just making assumptions?

I've been using my eGo-t type A regular atomizers since late January and never had a problem with leaking or anything else. I got the LR type A atties when they first came out and never had a problem with those either. I do not find them superior in any way, they just vape a tad warmer (2.1Ω vs. 1.8Ω). Other than that, they are just like the regular ones.

I haven't tried the type B ones yet, and yes, there will be a LR version of the type B also, for those who like larger tanks.

Just sayin'...

 

[redheadone]

I e-mailed Vicki over at Cignot and asked her what the difference was in the type A and B T-atty atomizers and if the type B was suppose to be better. The answer I got was basically they are the same except the type A is round and made to hole the original tank cart. The type B is cylinder shaped and is made in conjuntion with the the new tank cart that holds 2ml of juice. So basically one is really not any better than the other the new one just holds more juice.

 

[washvap]

Glad I found this thread. I was wondering what the differences were between the two models since I just bought a type b a few days ago.

 

[wdave]

The original Type A atties don't get hot enough. One of my LR atties burned out in three days. The juice lasted longer depending on the type/brand of juice. It's almost a requirement to prefill for the day because taking the cart out is a messy proposition. I like the idea of a cylindrical cart. Still waiting to here whether they get any hotter than the original type A.

I have vaped using the ego-T type A without problems, and I just received my Type B tank atty in the mail from Vicki at cignot. While I guess the design is the same--just bigger (I don't know much about how or why it works, just that it works), I can tell you that the vape is more profound. There's a nice warmth, more vapor, more flavor, more throat hit. I'm very pleased with my purchase of the type B tank atty, and I think most noobs like me will find it as an "upgrade" from the type A. Just my opinion.

Thanks, sounds like it's worth a try

I have the type B atomizer and type B tanks for the Ego-T and I really like them. Please consider that I am not as experienced as most here hance that I just started a week ago. I had the type A's atomizers and tanks with LR and enjoyed them too, however, with the bigger tank and the new atomizer I notice a flavor increase (even though it took 3 hrs to work 100%) and slightly more vapor.

 

[redheadone]

Just to let very know I received my ego-T type-B atty yesterday from Vicki at Cignot and so far it is absolutely fantastic. It is a little larger than the type-A and the tank holds more juice Absolutely more throat hit and vapor. I do not know how it will do in the long run but for now all I can say is WOW.

 

[MitchellBeans]

<SNIP TEXT> ...

I have tried all of them, including the eGo-T B type - just got it yesterday...

The original eGo-T, that i have ranted about elsewhere, was a flood machine. So was its replacement, as I did try again just to see if it was a lame atty. When it worked it was nice but not great. When it didn't work, which was often, it was wasted juice and frustration. It is now retired.

The eGo-T LR was much better, flooded less, and definetly hit better. I still use those.

Got the eGo-T Type B yestreday. Too early to tell its longevity or cleaning needs, but its been much better than the Type A non-LR atty. It seems like they fixed the wicking problem as least somewhat, cause there is no gurgling or flooding so far. Very comfortable draw and nice vapor. Of course, I will post as soon as something goes wrong, or if it turns out to be really awesome in the long run.
