Hi guys, as the title said, I'm wondering the difference between an Ego and an Ego-T. What's a tank? What's better for a newbie? Thanks!
Newbie looking at Ego . . . is Eco c or T better? What's the difference?

"They both have a cone into which you jam that hollow mouthpiece/tank.
It is refillable.
The big black cone screws off and at the bottom of it, there is a heating element with a spike that punctures a cap on the tank. This is supposed to allow the juice to drip onto the heating coil.(atomizer)
In the ego-T, the cone and heating coil are all one piece. When the coil burns out, you have to buy the whole assembly. It is a one piece atomizer.
In the ego-C, the cone and the coil are two separate pieces. You replace just the coil (atomizer)
Because you only need to buy the atomizer, and not the whole cone, the C is the preferred unit.
The lesser of two evils, you might say.
But as I said before, the chances are great that you'll toss the whole mess and buy regular cartomizers to use instead.
They taste better, they're cheaper and they don't leak."

I agree with the suggestion to go with a Twist instead. It's only a couple of bucks more and is SO much more versitile.
The dwonside to the regular eGo is that it vapes at a rather low 3.4v. If going that route I'd go with a Kgo instead. It looks the same, can take the same attachments but vapes at a slightly higher voltage.
If you want a tank, many have reported problems with the tank that comes with the eGo-T. There are much better tanks out there. You can of course use a tank with a Twist if you want.

Take a look and it might help.

Honestly coming from someone who is still new to vaping, a couple ego twists, and some clearomizers, or even the ViVi Nova 2.5 tank is the quickest/easiest way to get your foot in the door. They work incredibly well, produce great hits, and until you get a finer taste for what you're looking for, you won't tell much difference between this and some higher end vaporizers.
A tank is an alternative to using just a cartomizer or just an atomizer, most tanks are just plastic tubes with end caps that you slide a cartomizer into, cartomizers for tanks have holes punched into them to get the juice from the tank. I know a lot of people will disagree, but from personal experience, to just get up and going, try out a clearomizer with an ego twist. Carto/tank systems can be frustrating if you can't get it working properly right away.
With clearomizers, you'll see when you get it, it's got a wick sticking out of two sides at the top, when you get low on liquid you need to make sure to swirl it a bit and keep the wick saturated or else you'll get a dry hit.

I would not go with either of the straight voltage eGo's you listed as they have the weakest voltage battery on the market. The Twist is a good entry level VV model but with limitations.
If you want to stick with straight (non-variable) voltage in the same physical size and price range of the eGo, then look at the Kgo 510 or E-Power 510. Both are true 3.7 volt batteries unlike the weaker ego 3.4 volt battery.

The C and T refer to different takes on using an atomizer. Most starter kits include one of these two setups and can be hard to dodge. Being new to e cigs, neither are the easiest, hassle free way to vape. Cartomizers or Clearomizers will require much less upkeep and get your nic fix well. Top that off with standard eGo batteries producing a low 3.4V and you have a less than desirable kit.
If I created my own starter kit from scratch it would have:
2 ego-C twist 1000 mAh batteries (3.2V-4.8V)
1 USB Charger
1 carry case
5 cartomizers
and an assortment of 5 flavors. (You don't know what you like till you try it.)
For a new e cig user, this would be a great start for around $70-80 bucks.
VV EDIT VV
You will be vaping this 70-80 dollars for a month... (think of what you spent on analogs) After the first month you can easily get away with getting 5 more cartomizers and more liquid for 30-40 bucks. I spent $127 a month on the old habit.

A good suggestion but I'd tweek it just a tad.
Instead of 2 1000mah Twists I'd get at least one 650mah. It's important to have a PV that you can stick in your pocket for out and about vaping and those 1000mah Twist's are really long.
I'd also get more than 5 cartomizers.
I started with a 801 kit, and upgraded to a 510 kit, and for my next upgrade I am going to buy the battery only for a Joye Ego Mega along with a 'eGO Battery Charging Adapter' so I can charge the battery from my current 510 charger. I see no need to pop out the extra bucks for a full kit when all I really need is the battery to go with my current tankage. For those interested here is the link to the adapter ...

What is the ma output of the charger?
If it's lower than 420ma then it will take a lot longer to charge.
Regular eGo chargers are very cheap ($5-$6) so I'd skip this and get a better charger if that setup is lower than 420ma.

This. I started out building my own "twist kit" with cartos and Ego smaller tanks. I have some CE4 Clearomizers and a VN tank and I feel no need to try out anything else for awhile. Awesome, awesome setup.
Why pay more for a weaker voltage battery? Kgo or E-Power makes more sense in the straight voltage models plus they come standard with 1000+ mAh batteries whereas the eGo charges extra to move up to 1000 mAh.
I can tell you this. You will get great "starter" use out of any ego kit. I went on a site and got 2 900mah bats and that kit came with 5 cartomizers which I used for about 2 weeks then the flood gates opened. I bought this that and the other to go with what I had. Now I have toooooo much. But as you will come to learn you can never have too much. 2 months in and I'm looking at upgrades. Now I don't know if you are going to quit analogs in this new venture but I have found that vaping has turned into a hobby. So now I have a hobby to keep my mind occupies as well as my nicotine substitution. Anywho good luck and god speed!
Wow -- you guys are freaking fantastic. So much information. Thanks so much, everyone!
I would add one more thing to this list... No need to go with 1000mah at all.
I use 2 x 650mah in my carry-around kit, and one last all day+, but are a bit shorter and easier to carry around.
I say go with a twist, better options. There are a ton of delivery systems for egos, one of the worst is the ego T set up, it does not work well at all, I think most of those get junked pretty quick.
Either a clearo or carto would be my suggestion. Clearos can be finicky, so cartos would be my suggestion to start, then try some clearos once you understand how this stuff works
Good luck! bnrk
