So when are they coming out with a type B style? I started out on a type A tank but haven't touched them since I got my type B's, other than to steal the wick out to put in a type B.
Are you talking about the new eGo-c atty?? You can use the A type tanks in it, I don't know about the B tank if it will fit or not. The C atty is much much more easy to clean and dry burn the coil and its like new again. Its very hard to do that with the eGo-T

My experience with the B type tanks setup on the T model wasn't great, it was prone to leaking way more than the A type, I believe the greater volume of air in the tank when it was half empty created more pressure and pushed liquid past the spike/cap seal, I went back to the A style and have had far less leaks, I just keep a bunch of A tanks loaded and ready to go.

I might give the B another shot when it becomes available, it might work better on the C model...I'm sure Ovale/Joye will have it at some point in the near future.

Yes I'm asking about a B style C. The type A tank doesn't hold enough liquid and needs frequent refills. I know they'll release a bigger tank version of the C, I wanna wait till then to get one.

I vape approx 3-4 A Tanks a day. I just have an extra with me when I'm out 2.2ml for an evening out, has never been an issue here. :)

i agree typeB's T are are more prone to leaking than A's but flavor and vapor is better in B's imo.
Also i needed more juice capacity so i opted to stock up with B's.
Now i'm liking the ego-c A's performance but 1ml capacity is really a struggle for me, i think i'll switch to C typeB's as soon as they'll be available....

Just received my C setup this morning, I'm using the better K-Go batteries with it and I have to say...
FRICKIN FANTASTIC, finally some amazing flavor from the juices I've tried so far, I'm extremely impressed with it.

I'll definetily will not be needing any sort of mod, that's for sure !, I've tried carto tanks, regular carto's and direct dripping, and after my first couple of hits of burnt poly-fill material I was done with carto's, none of these methods have produced the quality of flavor this Ego-C is delivering with outstanding vapor as well.

I'm repeating myself, but I must say again, the C model is my most enjoyable vaping experience yet !...try it, you'll love it.

Truman - I gotta agree with you! I too had issues with cartos, burnt flavors and wasted juice. They were a pain in the .... for me. Biggest bummer was filling one up and then finding out it was a dud. Get a dud atty on the C (which has not happened yet btw) and no problem...just pull off the tank, change the atty and your back vaping in just a minute or two. Everything just taste cleaner with much easier setup and maintenance on the C.

I also like how easy it is to switch gears with the C. Changing flavors is easy by just blowing out the atty, priming it with your new flavor and popping on a new tank. Want more kick? Just throw on the LR atty. Like the more mild flavors? Switch to the SR atty.

I have said this before...I have been so confident in my eGo-C that I sold all the rest of my Boge cartomizers. :laugh: I will definitely be buying another eGo-C kit when the larger capacity B version comes out!

Sammy...get yourself some K-go batteries, the voltage is slightly higher than the Ego batts, you'll notice a difference right away and they last an incredibly long time, I'm a major chain vapor and one K-go battery lasted 2.5 days before vapor production started to drop off, check the reviews on these batteries, a very nice upgrade for your Ego IMO.

Thanks for the reply, I might try a B-Tank when the come out. Will the B-tank fit on the eGo-c or will you need to buy a completely new set up for the B-tank? I have never had a B-tank so that's why I'm asking. Love my eGo-c, I have popped the needle plate out of the atty and dry burned the coil and just rinsed the wick without taking it out of the needle on 2 of them so far, and put them back together and prime the wick and they work ever bit as good, as when they were new.

On the 'will the B fit' issue - of course it will fit on the battery but it's likely that the head will be different and of course the atty body and tank. Someone has already taken the A body off and fit a B body to the holder - involves shortening the B body as well and some mods to the tanks to get the airflow right. So I'm guessing the air channels on the A head don't line up with the B tank air channels - of course there could be just new B tanks that fit the A head but who knows....

I'm pretty sure existing B tank owners will just need to buy B type atomizers and cones, just like I did to upgrade my Ego-T type A, kinda goes without saying I think.

Here's my method for preventing tank leaks if anyone wants to give it a try.

I've been able to prevent leaking pretty much completely by pre-punching the hole in my silicone caps, I use a metal ink pen cartridge that's slightly smaller in diameter than the attie spike, the spike is 3.04mm and the pen cartridge is 2.88mm.

After pulling the pen tip off I thourghly clean the ink out...then I mound a small diameter pointed round file in a vise, you'll want to use the top end of the pen cartridge as your hole punch, the end where the pen tip came out can be a little deformed.

Gently twist the pen cartridge on the file, quickly you'll have a nice sharp hole cutter, I place the caps top down on a 2 paper towel layer, just push down and you'll have a nice clean hole...don't twist to cut the hole.

As you probably already know, the attie spike doesn't puncture the cap cleanly, it kinda rips it, my caps have lasted way longer with this method.

I'm considering taking the sharp edge off the spike point with some minor filing, I believe It'll further prevent any cap tearing and make the push down to the atomizer even smoother.

Hope this is helpful, works great for me, I rarely have leaks.

Thanks for the info. It would be nice to be able to just buy a bigger tank for the eGo-c and not needing to buy a whole new kit.

I don't understand that you get 2.5 days on one charge from your K-go battery, It is rated at 1100 mAh and I use a 18650 battery 3000 mAh, and mine lasts for 1 day. I also chain vape and use about 4 or 5ml of juice a day, so it looks like to me what is major chain vaping for one person is a little different for each person. No one makes a battery that would last me for 2 days, that's why I use a passthru and use a battery when I am away from the computer.

My vape pace is a bit lower at about 3-4ml per day and the 650mAh eGo batteries last me through the whole day and into the next. I have considered a larger, higher mAh battery but I gotta agree with Kent C...the balance and feel in the hand of the eGo battery 650mAh is just right. I think a higher mAh, heavier battery may throw this off a bit. I have four of the 650mAh eGo batteries and between my wife and I we always seem to have a battery or two charged and ready to go.
