Need MAJOR help with information regarding Joye Ego-t (Tank) and LR

[Keita]

Hello everyone,

So I have been vaping heavy for the last year and making my own juices from half a year ago (I quit analogs for the most part but do have the occasional few on the weekend).

I have originally bought the Joye Mega Ego and have been fairly happy.

However the batteries that I have 900mah (4 of them, two from my set, two from my brothers when he quit the e-cig). Two have died, one is starting to go and I only have one reliable one. This is not due to miss treatment but due to multiple charges as all batteries start to die in due time.

I am looking to buy some new batteries. I have seen this new item called a Ego-t. It looks the same but the sites say "can only use atomizers A or B". Does this mean I can no longer use my standards 510 atomizers (I have about 2 or 3 brand new and have 3 on reserve)? Will the older Joye Mega Ego/Ego be replaced by this one? One thing I do not like is the "Click 5 times to turn on, click 5 times to turn off". I think that can get pretty annoying.

Will LR atomizers work with this? I have NEVER tried a LR atomizer but was interested in trying it but I have heard it will kill the battery. What is the difference between LR and standard Atomizers?

One last thing is I am thinking about getting a USB Pass though since I am home most of the time. Even if the battery dies (in due time from natural causes) will I still be able to vape from a USB even if the battery cant hold a charge?

Remember, I dont mind buying a new model SINCE my battery are dead and my atomizers are running low. Any suggestions would be nice such as "get a starter kit and spare" or "just buy separately". Also can you use the Joye Mega Ego charger with the tank?

I can't help you too much. I do have ego-T batteries and don't use tanks- just use cartos on the batteries. To be honest, I've never used the on/off feature.

If you just want a couple batteries, Majic Vapors is having a two for one sale. You can get a Joye 900 mah battery for $22. So it's actually two batteries for $22.

Batteries/Accessories - Joye - - Joye EGO Mega Battery

I usually get whole kits too because I seem to go through chargers like crazy.

 

[Keita]

I also have a Drip Tip which I dont want to replace. please take that into consideration.

about the two for two, it only use one for 22.

 

[Keita]

if you dont use the on off feature, how do you turn it on? Do you just click five times and vape until it auto shuts off from the 10 second limit or w/e it is?

 

[r77r7r]

If you click 5 times fast, it'll shut down. then you have to do the same to start it. If you don't turn it off you don't have to restart it. It will not affect your everyday vaping.

I doubt the Passthru wil continue to work w/o batt. They are still great things tho- just unplug and carry when you got to do something. I believe they are usable in auto also.

 

[Keita]

wait sooo... that is only to put it in "sleep mode?"

The reviews were talking like you have to push 5 times, vape, push 5 more times turn turn it off...

 

[r77r7r]

Yup.............Safety mode for your pocket

That two for one that swedishfish mentioned is a good deal and I'm thinking that if it was me I'd just get a ego kit (you're receive two) and be done with buying batteries for awhile. You can alway pick up some cartos to experiment with. From the deals and steals page: YOU MUST ENTER IN COMMENT LINE YOU SAW THIS ADD ON E-CIG FORUM!!

 

[Keita]

my only convern is i went though 3 batteries in a little over a year.

I would prefer a passthough that you can "replace the battery" instead of the Ego PT which is built in.

Does the Ego T use regular 510 atomizers? I want to continue using my Drip Tip and it fits 510s.

And again, the website she mentioned does not have a 2 for 1, it is a single one only.

I have never had huge luck with pass-thrus. They seem to die on me quicker than regular batteries. I just ordered a kit for my Mom from Bill- With this battery you really don't need a pass-thru because it lasts all day.

Echo-e kit with 2 1300 mah batteries, a pack of 5 dual coil echo-e cartomizers and charger for $47.00. The cartos are made to so that they can be cleaned and reused 100x supposedly.

If I was going to start all over I'd probably get an epower, but I'm up to my eyeballs in chargers and things and don't want to add another charger to the mix. This is for two people but I have a charger for the KR808, the 510, the Ego and the VV Ego. Every outlet in the house has a different charger. With the epower you use regular batteries, so it's definitely cheaper to replace the batteries.

Three batteries in a year is pretty good. That's about 13 cents a day. You can use LR atomizers with that battery I think. I don't use atomizers though, just cartomizers.

I use both ego- tanks A and B with the 1000mah 5 click batteries . Im not familiar with what seems slimmer the 510 setup.
The ego-tank "A" is a cone shape atomizer and comes in Standard or LR resistance and uses the 1.1ml tank thats filterless, pop the cap and fill it with juice.
The ego-tank "B" is a cylinder shape atomizer and comes in standard or low resistance and uses the the mega 2ml tank thats filterless, again pop the tank cap and fill with juice.
As a note the "A" and 'B" tanks are not interchangeable, the 2ml tanks only fit the "B" atomizer and the 1.1ml tanks only fit the "A" atomizers.
The website Myvaporstore .com explains what fits what and also has the 510 ego setup that you can look at to see whats interchangeable in there description if in doubt about your particular set up call them and they will be able to tell you whats interchangeable with the 510 ego .

I have a 5vPt but the first one I bought failed, my vendor replaced it, then the replacement failed. I know how to solder, so I was able fix it and I still use it sometimes. They're a good idea, but lots of people have problems with them.

The ego t atty isn't the same as a regular 510 atty, but the batteries from either kit have the same 510 pitch thread, so they'll power anything with a 510 connection.

What I forgot to consider when I recommended the two ego kits was that you would have 4 regular 510 attys, and I don't know if you like those or not. For me, it would be a good deal but I'd get full use from them. (48 divided by 2 = 24 ea.) http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/85781-deals-steals-589.html#post4433567

I also have an e-power, and I'm well satisfied with it, but I don't recommend it unless you can afford a back up fairly quick, because your batteries are failing.

My setup is the eGo T, B model LR, with 650 mah batteries . I alternate 3 batteries and I've been using them for over 1 year with no battery failures. I believe the stories about 650 mah not being enough for a LR atomizer are bunk. This is by far the best setup I've found.

Lots of vapor and so easy to draw they're like a real cigarette in that regard. I can't stand carts or cartos any more.

CIGNOT has the LR B atomizers for only $10. They have no warranty, but one finally failed after about 7 months. Not bad !
You also need the B tanks, 5 per set. You should try at least one LR B tank setup !

 

[exodus454]

All the egos are 510 thread. You can use any 510 attys, 510 cartos, and any ego-T attys on any ego or ego-T battery. You can safely use LR as long as you don't dip much below 2ohms. As far as I know, there's no restriction to using type A or type B (A/B are the "tank" attys) on any ego battery - the only thing is that if you use a type A or type B atty, you have to use the matching tanks.

I have both regular ego and ego-T batteries and the ONLY difference between them is the lockout feature. The battery doesn't "go to sleep" or anything after a set amount of time - when the battery is unlocked you push the button and it fires. If you wanna put it in your pocket or something (every once in awhile I'll have stuff in my pockets that'll hit the button), you click the button 5 times quickly and it'll lock. When it's locked you can hit and hold the button and nothing will happen. Hit it quickly another 5 times and it'll unlock and you can resume vaping like normal. it's the same thing as having a "master off" switch on a mod, or a clip to go over the button on some other PVs. If you don't wanna use the feature, you'll never know it's there.

Also if you've never tried LR, do yourself a favor and order some Boge 2.0 (LR) cartomizers. They brought my ego to life. Much better vapor and flavor than standard resistance, and lightyears ahead of the standard resistance ego tanks. You'll wonder how you ever vaped without the LR. I've never tried the LR tank attys, but others have said they're an improvement. I originally bought an ego-T kit, then discovered LR cartos. From there I ordered more cartos and an ego cone to finish it off. Just as an FYI - the LR will reduce your charge time. I find I get around a day of vaping or a hair less from my 900 batteries.

Liberty flights has 1000mah ego-T batteries for $17.99 (you have to click "20% off" in the top left) - Electronic Cigarette - Batteries - Joye eGo - T


Also if you're looking to upgrade to something a bit better than the ego with the ability to use all the same hardware, I'd also check out the Riva and the KGO. Riva batteries run at a slightly higher voltage than the standard ego and the batteries are cheaper. The KGO (which I'm actually going to replace my ego with when it finally dies) will hold the higher voltage under load giving a much better and more consistent vape. The KGO is also much better for LR and will easily drive the 1.5ohm dual coil cartos.

As for the passthrough, never tried one myself but vaporkings has a 650mah ego battery with a USB port on it for $22 which you can use while it's charging. Might be an option.
Joye eGo USB pushbutton battery

They also have an ego passthrough with adjustable voltages from 3.2v-4.2v for $16.
Joye eGo or Joye 510 variable voltage USB passthrough

hope that helps some.

Hey Keita,

To answer your questions. There is absolutely no difference between the ego-t and ego battery besides the 5-click safety feature. LR atomizers will work as long as you don't go below 1.8 ohm (1.7 for cartos). It won't kill the battery since it won't draw as much power and put to much stress on your battery. You'll be fine as long as you remember that.

LR atomizers give a better TH and warmth. Standard resistance on an ego battery will be very disappointing since it doesn't give enough of a kick to it. Which is usually reserved for high voltage vaping. Unless you like no TH and a very cool vape than this isn't recommended.

A good kit you should consider would be a KGO which has a higher voltage compared to an ego. It runs at 4.2V w/ a fresh batt. There's no safety feature but, overall it's superior to an ego batt:

I have four ego ts and yes you can use a regular 510 atty and a drip tip, I even use my riva cone as a drip shield but you dont have to. So far so good, a little leaking with dripping but not too bad, I'm getting better at not putting too many drops in at a time. I tend to be a chain vapor so self control is a factor with me, more is not always better, especially when I drip, I do make a mess. But that battery will do what you want, I hope this helps.

I was going to recommend that kit too. It looks like a great kit. The only reason I didn't is because I don't think you can use the same battery charger on that and her other ego batteries. All the different chargers are making me a little crazy.

I don't have a KGO (yet), but I'm pretty sure you can use the same charger. You can share chargers between ego/riva and the picture on hoosier's site looks like the same USB=>510 dongle.. You just can't share ego/riva chargers with the normal 510's.

You might be right. I've heard some mixed opinions if the ego charger would work or not. Some say it does and some don't. When I put my KGO on my ego charger. It does charge differently in that the red and green light flash quickly back and forth.

Not a good idea to leave it on there unattended for a while and not sure how safe it is at the same time. But, it does charge the battery.
