New eGo user, couple of questions

[dinapal]

Oh, I can't wait until I know what I'm talking about (new user)

In the meantime, I've just unpacked my new eGo (saw on another thread that it was a fabulous buy at $39.99, so I tried it.)

Seems really nice but

How long can I expect one of the cartridges to last?
Do I then refill the cartridge or get a new cartridge?
I don't suppose the cartridges are interchangeable between brands?

Thanks for your help

Hi Dinapal, welcome to ECF! You choose well for your first e-cig. Good job!

I don't think cartridges last that long, maybe an hour or so. It depends on how much you vape, though, and I'm a heavy vaper.

You can refill your cartridges. Do you have juice? It's easy, just pull the cartridge off of the atomizer and drip a few drops on top of the white foam in the cartridge. It will absorb into the filler and you can do a couple more drops. You want to fill until the top looks wet, but isn't a puddle. A puddle can flood your atomizer. (Which isn't a big deal, but you'll have to take the atomizer off of the battery and blow out the excess juice.)

Your cartridge will work on any 510 device, doesn't matter what brand.

Let us know how it goes!

The other thing you can do if you've got juice is pull the filler out of the cartridge, throw it away, and direct drip. By that, I mean pulling the cartridge (mouthpiece) out, then directly dripping about 3 drops of juice directly down onto the bridge of your atty. Put the cartridge back on and you're ready to go.

thank you both, you guys are QUICK!

Enjoying it so far, think I'll be able to stay with it.

thanks again!

I'm a bit curious about what kind of cartridges you have and I'm very curious where you got an eGo for that price...

 

[dinapal]

got it at Bigboxstore.com after seeing a post here.

I knew nothing about anything, and everyone on the thread was saying was a good deal it was.

However, I know think it to be a knock off - the box does not look like the other pictures I have now seen of the ego, and no manufacturer information anywhere on it, not an address or anything like that.

I paid extra for quick shipping, but it took SEVERAL emails to get them to ship it at all. Took actually over two weeks to arrive; can't recommend them.

And now, after two days it's stopped working.

I think it's atomizer but again, very new so I'm not sure. Battery has a charge and the I have new, filled cartridges. Just nothing comes out of it any more.

It's the only one I have at the moment, so very disappointed I have to go back to cigarettes for a couple of days

I just ordered this from awesome vapor, so I hope to have better luck with it:

Mini E-cig Starter kit DSE901

At least he's in the states.

The DSE 901 is nice but I just upgraded to an eGo and like the flavor and throat hit I get off it alot better. I have my 901s for the spare...the moment the battery dies and ur on the road and don't have the extra with u....but I Love my ego!!! I got it from awesomevapor too. (love the cinnamon juice I got with it free too!! and the caramel and the watermelon those are excellent too) GL with it and he'll have it to you in a couple days cuz he does priority mail (theyre also very good about answering emails to the point of answering them during NON-business hours...shocked me but there it was LOL)

 

[HeatherC]

Oh Yeah and I forgot I get between 5 and 7 hrs of virtual chain vaping out of an ego battery....the 901 batteries lasted between 2 and 3 hrs.

 

[what the hell]

And now, after two days it's stopped working.

I think it's atomizer but again, very new so I'm not sure. Battery has a charge and the I have new, filled cartridges. Just nothing comes out of it any more.

Could be that the atomizer is flooded, clogged or not working entirely. Try blowing it out into a paper towel/napkin/tissue. Then hit the switch and see if the atomizer starts to glow. If there is no glow then the atomizer is shot. Replace it with a 510 atomizer (buy a few of them so you have some on hand)
