Need help with 1st purchase.

[ElPasa]

Hello everyone,

This is probably the 3rd thread i've started... in my previous threads I was asking which ecig would be the best one to simulate a hookah. I got a bunch of great recommendations, and yesterday I received a disount from a local ecig shop for the EGO-T ce4 650mah ecig. And it seems rather cheap, so should I buy it ? My only worry is that according to some reviews it can't support long drags. Also does anyone know if it puts out a lot of vapor ?

 

[RichRod]

it will give a decent amount of vapor, and decent flavor. it will be a great starter ecig, once youve researched and what not you can get into mechanical mods with rebuildable attys and chase those clouds

 

[Iusedtoanalog]

Hi Elpasa, So the ego-t/ce4 combo you speak of would be an okay beginner device. The ce4 most likely is a top coil which is no longer considered up to date, but the battery would be an ok battery to add a different topper to if you do go in that direction. Most eGo style batteries have a time limit(almost all of mine are either 7 or 10 seconds) on the amount of time they will apply power to the atomizer while the button is pressed. You should be aware that one single battery will not likely be enough to get most vapers through an average day so a minimum of two batteries would be advisable.

It is a good starting point. The battery is pretty much the standard upgrade from a cig-a-like. If you find the tank isn't your cup of tea you can get a Kanger Evod or SM30 from Origin Vape for a decent price.

Actually you could get their 11000mah Evod Battery (or Ego-T) with an SM30 tank for $9.97 plus shipping. I bought the Evod/SM30 starter kit with an extra SM30 and pack of replacement coils for $22 and some change shipped. Use the Code ECF10 to get the same price.

You might want to get a wall plug for the usb charger cable. If you have an old Black Berry or similar cell phone charger, you don't need it.

This is what I recommend then for your budget. It's a 1100mah battery which will last you a bit. And it's great to start out with

Thanks it looks great. Do you know anything about its vapor production ?

 

[PhatRon]

Vapor production is a characteristic of your atomizer not your battery. If you get a good atomizer with proper airflow and the right ohms then you will get good vapor production. There are variables with the battery such as the PWN chip inside that will send out a signal to regulate the applied voltage at a certain rate that can change the way you perceive your vape to be but vapor production is more closely related with which atomizer, coil, and amount of airflow you have for a designated power output your battery provides. Look into something other than a CE4 as a topper IMO.

 

[Smk831]

My experience with a VV (variable voltage) Ego was that it turned out being a waste of money. It didn't satisfy my needs when making the switch from analogs to e cigs. Lacked vapor production and didn't simulate an analog in the sense that an analog was a quick puff and the ego took a looong slow drag to get the same effect as an analog. Also many people will tell you that building your own coils and using mechanical mods is not for beginners this I don't agree with... IMO a beginner is just as capable of learning to build coils and use a mech mod as someone who's been using an ego for six months. Depending on where you live you can attend a coil building for beginners type of class which will discuss the safety precautions as well as the basics. It's all real simple stuff, just be safe!

I agree with this strongly..

 

[Storemyace]

I'd suggest the MPV 2.0 ($50 on ebay)

 

[Ipster]

Sorry I dont agree with Storemyace. I DO AGREE with earlier posts! The eGo Batt and BCC (bottom coil carts) is essentially the set up I was using when I completely 86d the tobacco for good! Im adding one tip that I learned the hard way- the typical store will sell you the
vision 4 or other clearomizer topper. I learned to switch to the Kanger EVOD BCC cartomizer for the top of the eGo batteries.
It was my personal preference to get the "pass through" batteries. They cost another couple bucks again, but I didnt need to worry about
running ut of batteried juice on a long drive home, and while at home, was plugged in, not running down the batts at all.
The advantages I learned from the EVOD is:
1) They dont leak like some clearomizers can if tipped upside down, or the glue joint at the collar doesnt like the liquid, weather, etc.
2) As Stainless Steel outer builds, they're more ruggedly built and for me lasted longer over the plastic clearomizer.
The disadvantages are:
1) Not clear all the way around, top to bottom for seeing all of the liquid. You need to look at the liquid "window" slit.
2) They attach really tightly at the 510 connection to the battery, both secure/strong and a bit more muscle to unscrew.

The other main difference are going to be the little bottom coil wicks on the EVOD burners vs. the longer top wick/burner of the clearomizers. The set up the shop is referring you for is a fine rig to get you on your way. Once you get into using it regularly
I suggest you come on back and share with us your experiences, and how your doing.
Vape is a "process" for most of us. Figuring out what fits you the best to afford you the perfect opportunity to have a healthier alternative in life beside stick smoking. Each individual will need to find thier own nicotine level which prevents cravings, and satisfies the
flavor cravings. That is the eLiquids discovery part of the process too.
I think the Satisfaction is subjective to your taste sensation and nic level more than the perceived "clouds" of vapor
that guys get weird about. I heard P Busardo say once, the whole "clouds" phenom was
"created" just because the technology existed. The products were being made so they needed to be sold.
All the best.

 

[PhatRon]

If you are trying to quit smoking, then I would also suggest you start out with a higher nicotine strength liquid like 24-36mg nic. I would advise you 24 so you aren't as susceptible to having a nicotine overdose. But with the higher nicotine content liquids, you will have a stronger throat hit and you will curb your cravings easier. I agree that vaping is a process and you need to find a setup that works for you. And as a follow up to my first post, you may prefer the top coil clearos as opposed to the bottom coil clearos. Just try out a few setups and if the local B&M will let you, ask them if you can try out some different setups that spark your interest and they may let you. If you do have any questions about mechanicals or rebuilding coils and the safety precautions associated with that then I am more than willing to help you out. If you also just want someone to ask any other questions about different vaping related topics you can PM me and I will try to help you out as much as I can with my opinions. The main goal is to get you off smoking cigarettes and to start vaping. Any device that does that is the best device for you!

I think the whole idea of building coils comes down to just how much of a hobbyist one is. I'm sure I could do it, but I also know how much crap I already don't have enough time to do.

As for top coils being "out of date", there's a difference between obsolescence and simply not being trendy. Bottom coils are very trendy, but so far I hate the cold and muted flavored vape I've experienced from them.

Only top coils offer me that nice warm vape.

 

[Sue1971]

Hi, I'm back into the vaping seen after failure back back a few years ago, But right now as I type I am using a ce4 throw away clearomizer on a 3 year old ego battery, Its the small one, so most likely the 650mah, and I will tell you the Ce4 is still going strong after almost 3 weeks of using it, only maintenance for cleaning it so far is just a quick rinse and shake of hot water to wash the wicks clear. No dry burns with it as of yet, (may do one today just to experiment on it)

Not sure how long of a draw you want, but I can get a good 5 second draw on it, just did a 6 sec draw and then it seems to dry the wick and give a slight dry wick taste.

My opinion is nice little starter, (along with the right juice) it was the one that got me off the stinkies for good

[marmer]

Well, I started out with an 1100 mah ego with an evod and did pretty well with that setup. I got several more and would carry several around in my case daily. Produces a good amount of vapor and is easier to carry than a mod IMO. About a month ago I bought several mods with 20 amp 18650 batteries and really love them- they produce a ton more vapor with a rebuildable atomizer. Just do a lot of research if you are going this route- spend the money on good batteries and a decent charger and an ohms tester if you rebuild. Or you can put a kanger protank on a mod- it won't leak (at least mine hasn't) and you can just replace the coils when they burn out. I feel that the mod would be more like a hookah, but it's really up to you. The mod route will cost a bit more and may be a more time consuming experience, whereas the ego route would be less expense and less maintenance, at least initially. I like my egos and my mods- the egos are easy to carry, but the mods are more fun for me to vape The most important things are to learn all you can about what you are doing and to be safe- good luck!

 

[CountBoredom]

I learned to switch to the Kanger EVOD BCC cartomizer for the top of the eGo batteries.

I like bottom coild myself, but I would upgrade this to the Kanger T3 or mT3. The mT3 looks just like an EVOD except that it hold a little more liquid, while the T3 is the tank without the metal sheath. The advantage of these over the EVOD, I've found, is that they provide a better draw. The air holes on the EVOD ring are smaller than those for the T3/mT3 and the mouthpiece is slightly more constricted on the EVOD. Just my $.02.

 

[realsis]

Hi if your on a budget a really great mod is the Kamry X6 1300 mah battery. It has a multi volt and lasts with heavy vaping into two days. It goes for around 42.00 to 49.00. I really love my X6. It gives a good amount of vapor too. You might check it out on line. The 1300 mah battery is great because it's long lasting. They make all different colors too.

Look for quality, and something that puts out at least 15 watts. That will take you far in the land of Vape. A lot depends on your vape goals. Are you looking to vape for the extended future? or are you just looking for something to get off of tobacco burning? Sure some less capable devices are good to start with, and work quite well, But if you want to build rba's and be able to get the most out of your vape, power is everything. The more amps you can push, the more watts one can get at the coils.

There's nothing wrong with starting ones collection with a quality piece. But just because one has a DNA30, doesn't mean that they are going to get a better vape, over night. Vape is a progressive hobby, and the learning never stops.

Vape long and Prosper!!
