First my e-history, then a question. I started with Cig2o,then 510, 510-t, eGo-t ('A'tank), then the 'b' tank, which leaked & required some kind of wick adjustment(couldn't figure it out), back to the 'a' tank, then I started smoking again. I just bought the eGo-C, with the 'A' tank. & pass-thru. Pretty content,haven't smoked for ovr 48 hours. QUESTION: Is there a product/system that's dependable(no leaking), and is VERY user friendly? I really am hopeless at doing much more than cleaning an atty. The less I have to refill or fuss the better. I vape like I smoked, constantly. Thanks

I did the ego-c setup with the ego atomizers and tanks and hung it up on them inside of 2 weeks. I picked up some CE5 clearomizers and a Kanger Protank and use those on my ego-C battery.

Her is why
1. The ego atomizers are stupid expensive
2. the ego atomizers clog and burn Fast (I mean one hit fine next hit full out burnt wick smoke)
3. the ego tanks leaked for me so I bought the silica endcaps for them and then they just didn't wick at all or leaked

After a ton of frustration I simply went with a clearomizer setup and was a very happy vaper

The heads on the CE5s and the protank are replaceable and if you are so inclined rebuildable. They are also about $2 each or less (ego atomizer $5+)

The protank is glass so if you are inclined to banana, cinnamon, or citrus juices it wont fog melt or crack. (CE5 is NOT good for these juices).

Just my 2 cents on it Your mileage may vary

The outdated "tank" system (cartridge+ atomizer) is prone to leaks. Just google "eGo-C/T leaking". As for alternative systems....Vivi Novas, CE5, ProTank, Evod, T-3/2...the list goes on and on. Best thing about these is they have replaceable heads that are cheaply and easily replaced. Problem is EVERYONE has their favorite juice delivery system :D

You can keep the Ego batteries, at least! I like the mini-vivi novas and Ce4s, but there is no reason that you cannot put a cartomizer (pre-filled or fill your own) on top of those eGo batteries. I chain vape (less now) and also am "technology challenged" and those types of delivery systems are pretty much "fiddle free."

Remember the name "Kanger."

Forget "CE".

Kanger T2, T3, MT3, Evod, Pro Tank all made by Kanger.....all kick ....

Honestly I am using the Redux clone of the CE5 and it has been fantastic. 5 weeks in and haven't had to change a head yet and not one single leak. SO the Forget "CE" part I simply have to disagree with.

Every kanger i've tried and i've tried them all, leak. Worse you are going to get about 3 tanks and have to replace the head.d

Vivi Nova...specifically the mini...is where it's at.

I replace the heads before I use them in Pro Tanks and Evods.

Ekowool silica or XC-116 ceramic wick......30 or 32 ga kanthal

I rarely use plastic anything anymore.....mostly Pro Tanks, AGAT2, Igo-L

Vivi Novas were where its at! 7 months ago, lol. No need to risk health vaping out of plastic anymore, pyrex juice delivery systems are the best delivery method of sanitary non porous material.

Try out the Vivi Nova or Kanger T2, pick up a few replacement heads for whatever you decide on. Keeping them working well through a tankful is as simple as tipping them to the side to keep the top of the wicks wet. Cleaning is simple too; the tank can just be flushed out with hot water or grain alcohol. Cleaning the replaceable heads is a little more involved, you have to rinse with hot water or alcohol, squeeze the wicks dry with a towel, then dry burn. You can also just replace them for a few bucks, and they easily last a week even with heavy use and no cleaning.

Red_bird- concern over vaping a plastic tank is only relevant to those who have completely eliminated BPA from their life, if that is what you are referring to. I think it is a bunch of hooey, but that's just my opinion at this point. Just like cell phone radiation and brain cancer. The downsides of glass are that it is more expensive, thicker, heavier, and can shatter.
