hey guys this is my second ecig kit that i will be purchasing. I had an ego knockoff with atty/cart system. Needless to say i really liked it. Throat hit was too strong at first but i adjusted to it. (36mg/ml juice).

The taste the smell was amazing. The only real problem i had was with cartridges. My cartridges did not last me more than 15 min :( i think the filler material was poor. So i always kept juice around for dripping. After 60 days of use my atty died i think and i turned back to cigs :/

I was hoping u guys could recommend me a good kit to buy with good battery life, and some sort of cart system that can last me like an hour?

I heard the new tank systems are pretty good way. what do u guys think?

Also please recommend some stores as i am confused by all these brands

60 days from an atty is pretty good going really.

I had a few issues with atties and cartos to begin with but have switched to using genuine Joye atties and Boge LR cartos and havent had a problem since

If you dont want to shell out the $ for the tank version, I suggest the Boge cartos. How long they last depends on how hard you vape, but they're cheap enough to keep reloads on hand and very quick to refill using the condom method.

Are your batteries still working fine? If they are and you don't want to spend too much money, you can consider buying cartos instead. I only been vaping for alittle over 5 weeks and only tried the Boge 510 and Geniune Joye 510 cartos. I prefer the Boge 510 better though. For me it's easier to refill. As for flavor and throat hit, dripping would be better, but the cartos are more convience, mines normally last me for about 2 hours. You can purchase them at Liberty Flights they cost around $8.00 (w/20% off) a pack of 5 + shipping. They are refillable. Remember to click on 20% off on the top left hand corner.

I'm currently using a Riva 510, which is compatible with eGo parts. Is your compatible, too? If it is, you can maybe just purchase the eGo-Tank atty and tank cartridge. You can purchase them at Liberty Flights or Cignot. I just received the tanks atties myself and still testing them so I don't know wat to say about them yet. But so far so good, the only problem I have now is leaking issue while having it in my jacket pocket.

If you want to buy a kit with a better batter life then the one you have you might want to purchase the Tank kit w/ the 1000mAh batteries. You can get the kit at Cignot and choose the 1000mah batteries. These batteries are the new kind with the 5 clicks on and off function. Cost around $87.00 + shipping if you want the 1000mah batteries. Or you can purchase each piece seperately at Liberty Flights. (Tank atties for $13.59 each, batteries 1000mah for 17.99 each and tank cartridge for $6.39 for a pack of 5 and maybe if you need the charger purchase one, too) + shipping. Don't forget the 20% off (The price I listed is w/ the 20% off)

I highly recommended Liberty Flights and Cignot, they both have excellent customer service!!

Good luck

Are you looking for a whole new device or just a longer lasting cartridge/cartomizer? If it's the latter, I'd definitely echo what's being said here about the Boge cartomizers. They're all I vape. I get mine from Litecigusa.net they have both the standard resistance (3ohm for 5v vaping) or the lower resistance (2ohm 3.2 to 3.7v vaping).

All good suggestions above. I will admit they were one step in my path in my vaping journey. You might consider a intermediate selfjuicer. Long time battery life....larger juice capacity..less hassle....and cheaper in the long haul. I only make this suggestion if you are SURE vaping is for you. If you end up liking a intermediate selfjuicing mod then you can invest down the road in a hi-end model...if you dont then the price you spent on a intermediate selfjuicer wont be much...40-$45. Just something to think about. Had someone convience me of this when I started 2 years ago I would have saved a lot of time and money...but everyone is different.

Best of luck

Thanks guys.

Sorry for the confusion. I have 2 ego batteries 650 mAmphr. They work perfectly fine. I also have one cone cover and a drip tip. The atty is done, i threw it out. I also have a USB passthrough but i really hate it, here is why.

Everytime i wanna vape with it, I have unplug the battery, the cone and the atty and plug it into that 510 passthrough. Its too much work. I saw these new passthroughs at cignot and volcano, where the bottom of the battery has a usb mini outlet that u can use it as passthru.

So from the suggestions from above. Ill get the boge cartomizers and a tank atty with tanks, and a new passthru system.

I also dont mind buying a new kit, extra batteries wont hurt. If you guys can recommend a good kit for me that would be great

The condom method. On each end of the cartomizer is a rubbery end cap that seals the carto ends. Remove the end caps. Take the one that came from the mouth end and fill it almost full with your liquid of choice. Take the carto and insert the mouth end into the cap with liquid. Very slowly push the carto into the liquid. You may have to move the carto up and down a couple of times before you get all the juice into it. Carto is full when you see it beginning to come out of the battery end. You'll want to put the cap on a paper towel, as you'll probably spill a small quantity of juice. Wipe the cartomizer clean, let it sit a few minutes, then you're ready to vape. You might also blow through the carto to get rid of any excess juice. You can find videos of the condom method on youtube.
