Hi everyone

Have been a smoker for a long time and decided to get off the death sticks and try vaping. So I popped on eBay and bought a ego4. I used it for a day and the tank went misty and then the end snapped off. Have to say was not happy but I managed to order new ones. What pitfalls am I going to experience with the ego4 or should I save up and buy a mpv2.0?

Welcome to ECF Alex, make yourself right at home
Some flavors will do that to a plastic tank, you might want to invest in something with glass.

 

[Alex88]

Ordered x2 oniyo tanks that are Pyrex so hopefully it will be OK.

Welcome to the forum. An MPV or the cheaper and smaller eLeaf istick could suit you well, ideally with a glass tank from Kanger or Aspire.

Greetings Alex88 and Welcome to the ECF..............Don't have any experience with the ego though do have the MVP 2 topped with a Aspire Nautilus Tank and am very pleased no problems well worth the money............Enjoy

Hello Alex and welcome to ECF. Happy vaping

 

[Susan~S]

Hello and welcome to the forum Alex. Glad to have you here!

 

[Alex88]

Wow cheers for all the tree replies. Can someone clear this up for me who is the original manufacturer of the mpv is it innokin?

 

[twgbonehead]

Yes, the MVP is an innokin product.

Welcome Alex.

You should save and buy something decent.

Yes, Innokin make the MVP. It isn't as good as an iStick though... it's yesterday's news....

PS... probably best not to buy stuff on ebay. Nearly all of it is fake and e-cigs are not allowed on ebay, so if ebay find out, or you need to get a refund, there will be trouble.

Some of them are glass, yes.

Depends which one.

thanks djsvapour i will check out the istick can you recommend a good tank to use also can someone explain or simply tell me how long the coils are ment to last and how often i should change them?

Well. I never got more than 3-4 days from a Kanger coil. I get 2 weeks from an Aspire BVC.

I use two main things on my iStick;

1) mini Nautilus.
2) carto-tank with Boge cartomizers.

It is too powerful for things like mini Protanks.

Haha can you tell just how green I am at all this. I thought they would last ages not days. Well I'm hoping that my little 650mh battery will keep my oniyo tanks for more than 4 days. Where can I buy more?

What... more tanks or replacement heads?

Whatever you need, just visit Myepack... they'll sort you out.

I don't know anything about Oniyo... they *might* take Kanger coils, but I couldn't say. Never heard of them. (avoiding negative comment...LOL )

 

[Alex88]

Lol in not sure they say they come with 2 spare atomisers... I think asap I will buy the eleaf and a new tank setup what one do you recommend for cost and long term parts?

 

[Alex88]

My new tanks arrived today and I got a free bottle of ejuice (vanilla coke) all seems good I will post a picture up in a bit. OK next step is getting some tasty juices. Recommend any places or brands.

 

[Marcus1970]

Celtic vapours are a good brand celtic menthol is a good strong taste

 

[Alex88]

A little update my tanks arrived and are fine but don't hold much juice but I can live with that. Already used up one coil so decided to order more of them and a eleaf istick. That should start me off nicely. Is it worth looking into tanks I can rewick and coil myself?
