Need Joye 510 Advice

[casualuser]

Hello all. I still haven't made a purchase yet although I think that its time to get off analogs.

I was hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out. I see that the Joye 510 is the most popular ecig out there. The issue is the battery life. It seems that the ego has fixed this? Does the ego use aatomizer and carts or a cartomizer?

Is it beter to go with a 510T 900MaH?

Who offers the best price?

Or should I just go with a vaporking?

 

[dormouse]

There is no 510-T 900mah

Figuring 100mah is about an hour of vaping for a moderate vaper

Joye 510 is a slim ecig - 180mah or 280mah w/ the mega xl batteries (and I STRONGLY recomend manual batteries)
Joye 510-T - I wouldn't bother - same mah as above but you can just buy a 510-T atomizer and some 510-T tanks if you want to try the tanks on another 510. I actually don't see the appeal of the tanks. I like Boge cartomizers on 510 (standard resistance needs to be use on the slim 510s)

Ego (and its clone Riva 510 and others) - these are fat battery models from 650mah-1100mah or maybe higher. These have their own charger and are also able to use low resistance attys and cartos (LR gives hotter harder hit and uses battery power faster)

Thanks so much dormouse.

I'm definitely going manual on any model I choose.

So if I go with the ego its not really compatible with other models but is the battery life that much better?

Ultimately I'd like to have a SS GGTs with a UFS connector if they ever become available. That seems like the ultimate in vaping and style. Would the attys and cartos of the ego be compatible with this?

yep there is a 1100 eGo and also a 1300 GoGo that will take a 510 adapter

Ego is compatible with anything with a 510 threading. Ego is 510 threading as is Riva 510 as are slim 510. The difference is you can only use the fat battery "fast" charger cable on the fat batteries - they will damage slim 510. You can only use low resistance parts on the fat batteries, not on the slim 510. If you use standard resistance 510 cartos like I do you can use them on both Ego and slim 510 (or in my case on the Riva and the 510).

Within Ego's own stuff there are some things that need to be matched with each other and I do not understand all of that. Ego has a choice of 2 tube styles A or B. I think one is a larger diameter atomizer? I don't know if the size of the collar of the threaded socket of the A & B batteries are different. And I imagine the A & B need different carts and one needs "Ego" drip tips? I don't even know. And there may be 2 widths of Ego tank attys and one can use bigger tanks? I truly have no idea. So somebody will need to explain to to you before you buy an Ego. I bought a Riva which does not have confusing choices like that.

BTW - in case this is part of the confusion... Ego uses Ego tank atty and Ego tanks and As I said there may be two sizes or Ego atty and tanks? The smaller size might even be the same as the 510-T atty and 510-T tanks? I don't know. Slim 510 can use 510-T atty and 510-T tanks (these should also work on EGo since EGo can use any attachment slim 510 uses). I don't use tanks. I bought a 510-T atty and tanks to try but I am very happy with Boge cartomizers and they hold twice and much juice as a 510-T tank and keep the flavors more separate than sharing an atomizer does.

I own both the 650Mh eGo, and a 510 kit, both from liberty flights. They both use the '510' style threading for atomizers. This means that the atomizers and cartridges are compatible with each other. Note that the chargers are not.

The benefits of the 510: smaller, looks more like a cigarette. Good vapor amount, about the same as the eGo.

Downside: batteries do not last long. Mine last me about 1-2 hours per battery before needing a recharge. if you go this route, I highly recommend a personal charging case for them.

benefits of the eGo: Battery life is enourmous. I find that mine lasts over a day of use on a single charge per battery.

Downside: looks kinda funky (IMO), I get questions about whether I'm smoking funky substances in it.

I use the 510 when I go out to bars, etc, and the eGo at home.

Hope this helps a little. I have not tried the newer tank systems yet, but I have seen mixed reviews.

I think going with a less expensive 510 fat body would be a good bet. Nothing against the Ego, but you can get a Trex or Riva a lot cheaper. And if you decide to het an ego later, all of your parts will still be compatible. Maybe use the savings to experiment with liquids. Just stick to the carts and atty's. Tanks and smart carts sound great, but seems to me like you'd be skipping the minor leagues and throwing yourself into the majors a bit too quick. Nothing wrong with getting your feet wet. And I think everyone on here would agree that a trex or Riva (etc) with carts and attys are great vapes and very satisfying experience.

I also have both the Joye 510 and eGo kits - and like having both. (as Standpoint mentions, the 510 doesn't draw as much attention in public...but I still use my eGo sometimes as I'm out and about) Both have the same threading/interchangeable for standard 510 atomizers and I also use a 510-T atomizer with my eGo batteries sometimes. I personally like the tank systems for both the 510 and eGo better than standard cartridges, but I've never used the Boge carts that Dormouse recommended.

Thanks everyone for the great information.

I have no inclination to Joye over Riva so if the Riva is the same and its more economical the Riva it is. Can anyone confirm that the Riva and the Ego are in fact one and the same? (edit it looks like the Riva had 750mAh vs. Joye 650mAh is there a difference?)

I still can't get over how sleek the GGTS is. I wonder is there anything similar to it in construction and design?

The only difference is the Riva 510 has a slightly longer vape time before re-charging.

I started on a 510 but went to an ego recently, Ego has much longer battery life. That is a plus for me instead of carrying around 4 spare's all day. I have the Ego T but i can put Carto's on it so thats also a plus. I would reccomend the Ego if you are were or are a Heavy Smoker.

 

[casualuser]

OK thanks again everyone I think I finally got a handle on this somewhat. So between the Trex and The Riva which one would you guys pick? The Riva had 750mAh and the Trex is either 900mAh or 1100mAh. Anyone see a reason not to go with the Trex?

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

No.....both are great and work well.....
congrats on making a first purchase...
come back and let us know what you decided to do....
