So im thinking of getting a ego t from liberty flights but wondering what are the advantages over the riva 510 with boge 2.0 cartos. I like the way the boges hit and taste is good when i tried the attys that came with my riva kit they just sucked with blank carts. So are the attys with the ego better do they have the same hit and taste that the boges give and what kind of problems do the egos give. I for some reason think im missing something about tanks would i be able to still use the boge 510 cartos with a ego and whats the diff in type b and a is it just the LR or what? My riva batteies have about had it and now im wanting something else money is not my issue just sometimes the boges taste differant and im now wanting something with a clean taste not sure whats right for me. :confused:

Recommend eGo T type B with LR atty. Best I've found yet, and a lot agree. Just don't use 100% PG or they may leak at times. 80% PG, 20% VG is good for me.

I read all the raving about the boge cartomizers so I tried them. Couldn't stand them compared to the T. Hard to draw (sucking through a straw feeling) and you can taste the filler material. Plus, they're not consistent and you have to fiddle with them . But some love them.

...don't own a tank and haven't used one but I am a fan of the Boge2.0 and the mega single coil 1.7s from CCV(Resurrectors), SmokeTech(REjuvenators) and others...I can't taste the filler in them but, I keep 'em good and wet, try to not allow them the get more than 50-75% used before topping up...the reg LR Boges hold 1ml+ and the megas hold close to 2ml so they are comparable to the A/B tanks capacity-wise...I get really good vapor/flavor/.throat hit from them consistently with no fiddling with attys/drip plates/leaky tanks and they last about a week to 10 daze depending on juice used...they seem to work equally well with straight PG and upto 70/30 PG/VG...haven't used higher VG juices...with an absolute minimum of hassle, they just work for me..............

I have two eGo Ts. Ended up tossing the tanks in favor of EMDCCs. I found the tanks to have muted flavor, fair TH, little vapor production and they are very "fiddly." You keep having to adjust the wick and such nonsense. It's a grand idea, but they need a lot of work before I'll find them worthy of taking on king EMDCC!! Mine never leaked until I tried to mod them per a video on YT, then that tank leaked like bride's mom at her wedding.

Ditto this, especially the muted flav aspect! I de-spiked/de-plated the eGo-T atty and now use it for sample flav testing.

Luv my eGo/eMDCC combos! :wub:

Ego-T Type B (I've never tried Type A) has a gross plastic aftertaste. It's not the atty adjustment or lack of wicking, or anything, as there is no burning or metallic taste. I think I am just spoiled by the clean, pure flavor I get from direct dripping. I got my tank kit last week, and now I am back to my old trusty Ego with 510 atty and Super-T stainless steel drip tip. Yes, it's a bit of a pain, especially when driving, but the flavor is worth it!

The attys that came with my Riva kit all died within days/weeks. One of them fried my Riva batt as well as a 510 mini last week. I'm not touching them again. The Joye attys seem sturdier. Check out VaporKings.com for their 10-pack if you decide to stick with attys.

I don't use LR attys (< 2.0 ohm). I only use SR, which is about 2.2 - 2.5 ohm, may offer a little less taste but are fine with me.

cool thanks im still thinking that boge cartos are probley better

One thing you'll learn around here...there is no better or worse...only better or worse for you. Everyone tends to gravitate to something different. That's part of the beauty of vaping. Lots of folks love their Boges though. If it works better for you, then by all means...stick with 'em!!

I'm a Boge fan, Carpdebass. BTW, what the heck is an EMDCC?

Tanks leaked on me and aren't nearly as good or as reliable as a Boge Carto. At $1.60 apiece, I use them for a few days to a week or more and toss them. Boge is best with 100% PG. VG tends to clog them. PG soaks right up and makes them last and gives me the best taste.

I've abandoned all cartos except for the CE2's that have no filler - see the 'dangerous carto' thread - it's long so scan it....

I'm pretty much exclusive eGo-t and there's new soft caps for the tanks that have help fix the fiddling and leaks. See:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/223829-new-ego-t-tanks-fix-leaks.html

As others have said the B type/cylinder attys and tanks are the best performers - 2+ml of ejuice vs. .7ml on the 510-ts which I've used and since discontinued them for volume only. They worked well for me but the B type eGo-t's last so much longer.
