Although I've heard some say their batts don't have this feature, the Ego-C batts are supposed to have the color changing led in the button to indicate battery life. Also, there is supposedly something else new and better in the electronics that supposedly makes it better and last longer but idk anything more about that, could be just bs to make it sound good.

No "Color Changing" to indicate battery life on mine. They do have the "5 click" Lock Out safety, which is nice. Battery life has been good so far in the experience. I'm getting an average of 6 - 8 hours per charge. I vape continously, lol

Two fast questions:

Anyone know why the eGo-C battery is so much more expensive - $19.99 at Ovale - compared to the same capacity ego-T battery at $13.99? What's different/better that warrants the significant price difference?

I'm a 100% VG user - can't use PG. But pretty thin DK liquids. How is this working for the VG users out there?

I'm not absolutely sure - I only have the atty and head but I think the eGo C batt has some charging leds - probably why it's a bit bigger than the regular 650mAh batt too. I vape as close to 100% VG as one can get - the VG is cut with distilled water and the flavor has different levels of VG as a base... and the nic base is VG and I haven't had a problem with the C and VG.

That's right:

Joyetech eGo-C 650mAh Battery

But, I know heaven gifts, TW and cignot for a while at first, didn't have the 'new' (at the time) eGo-t batts with their kits (the 5 push shutoff).

Not sure if this was asked in this thread yet. For those who may have had an ego-t prior to ordering a an ego-c kit.

Will the ego-c cone, atty body and atty head fit on a ego-t battery? It would be an inexpensive upgrade for us if we didn't have to order an entire kit in order to use the new atty design.

Yes - the c atty body fits any Riva, eGo, eGo PT, VV eGo batt. However I've found that the new VariVolt Riva batts (LF) don't fit all my eGo t attys - some though - adjustment is necessary - center post comes up short - not on the c though.

I received my eGo-c kit today and I fired it up. I bought the S.S. model and it looks very nice all around. It does indeed fit eGo/Riva batteries just fine. Mine does have the 5 click on and off and early on its vaping good. My only gripe so far is the tank fits very tight and my wife could not take the tank off and its very hard for me just to turn it enough to make it go in far enough to puncture the tank. After it is in I have a very hard time lining up the mouth piece to where I like it. Hope after a refill or 2 it will loosen up a little. So for now there is no danger of it ever falling out. LOL

I have had mine for 3 days now, being new to vaping i like it. had one issue with a leak but that was operator error. tried to put on the soft caps leaked even worse but again operator error. figured out what i was doing wrong not more problems other than i dopped it today and broke a mouthpiece, but i have 4 more so no worries. waiting on more juie to get here the tobbacco flavor that came with the unit is pretty good, but i think that the ones i am getting will be better.

VAPE ON :vapor:

Glad you're enjoying yours! Can you share what your operator error was, so that others can learn from your experience?

Speaking of leaking...of course, having read the reviews, etc about the T - what exactly is considered leaking?

When I replace a tank, if I look inside the cone, I do see droplets on the ring, and some moisture inside the cone.

Yesterday I unscrewed the cone from the atomizer base, and the threads had some juice on them. I've since checked that a couple more times, and it doesn't seem to be getting juice on those threads any longer, but there may be a little rust developing on the thread as a result of the moisture (or it may be my paranoia). All the same, real or paranoia - do you guys coat your threads with anything as part of your routine maintenance of your device?

I just clean the threads with a cotton bud (q-tip) or a fuzzy pipe cleaner. I also do the same inside the atty's cone. If there is juice on the threaded section I use a tissue, but don't push too hard as it can move the centre post in a touch and could stop it making electrical contact with your battery/atty.

Thanks! Q-tips are already in my supplies organizer for just that reason! ;-)

What tobacco flavor are ordering? I have the Stainless steel model, very nice looking. Does your tanks slid down into your cone very tightly? Mine is to tight but they will go in if I twist it and press down real hard.

OMG I need major HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got my Ego-C the day before yesterday first night was awesome!! Since then it's been all down hill........... Everytime I re-fill a tank and put it on all my juice just leaks EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!! I tried the little silicone caps that helped a little but still leaking. I even followed the advise on here NOT to take the hard caps off when filling the tanks I've been doing that with a syringe. I can tell it's leaking almost immediately after I put the tank on, when I vape I hear a crackling noise and then seconds later everything is just oozing from anywhere it can.

Did I get a "bad seed" or am I missing something really important?? I'm waisting so much juice. I had such high hopes with this and I feel like it's an Epic fail. I hate to admit it but right now I am actually missing my overprice piece of crap Blu's.

Please Help............................ :(
