Nice! How did you find your ego-C with your twist?

I haven't needed to put it on my Twist. There's plenty of TH with the regular eGo batteries.

The eGo-C seems to be slightly lower resistance than the eGo-T. The vape is warmer and not as flavorful. But, there is plenty of TH even without having to resort to the Twist.

It's adequate, but no thrill. It's not as yummy as the eGo-T was. I guess it's a delicate balance between TH and flavor.

But, there is plenty of vapor. I'm getting a little nauseous from so much nic. I'm going back to dripping with my 510-t for the night. I need some recovery time.

I found myself using the Ecab all the time for the past few days. I was really loving it. The juices that leaked in the Eroll worked fine in the Ecab. I was thinking maybe the Ecab is better than the Eroll....... then I picked up the Eroll again. Man there really is no comparison between and auto battery and a manual. I know, I know, how hard is it press a button to vape. The reality is, once you get used an auto battery its pretty dam hard to press the button. Its like driving an automatic transmission vs a manual. Yes a manual has its benifits, but 95% of the time I just want to not think about it.

do you find it awkward to hold because of its relative size, and the placement of the airholes, and the heating issue.

Its so nice that's its so small, but I having a feeling that you really cant choke up on it like a cigarette because of the heating issue with the atomizer (i think thats where my fingers would naturally fork it if it was a real cigarette), and then if you slide down a bit and fork it a bit lower then you run into the issue of covering the airholes. It seems like you really have to fork it quite low, below the airholes. i imagine it might be awkward forking it so low when the unit is so small. How do you usually hold it, and does it feel natural?

The Eroll is not awkward at all. I "fork it" exactly the same as real cigarette. The air hole is located in the middle of the unit. There really is no issue with covering the air. As far as the cone heating up to much to hold, I have never had it hot enough to cause a problem. It does get warm, but not hot.

So, true.

But, I'm used to a standard transmission AND a manual battery. When I use an auto battery, I find myself looking for the button. Just like when I drive an automatic transmission, my hand keeps reaching for the stick and my left foot keeps wanting to use the clutch.

After using the eGo-C for a day or so, I definitely want to buy the eCab.

i tried the eRoll only for a few minutes. but i just realized it was low nic juice. like 7 mg. maybe i should try it again with 18mg. that should make a reasonable difference, how much im not sure. but from what ive read recently, nic level is the highest contributor to throat hit.

thanks for your feedback!

otherwise have you tried a LR atomizer on your eRoll? does that improve the throat hit?

Yeah, you need much higher nic content with the eroll. I was down to 6mg nic using an RBA and when I started using my eRoll I found around 20mg was my preference. So 3 to 4 times higher than what I was using before.

Part of this is down to the fact that you can't chain vape the eRoll, it isn't designed for that. You have to treat it more like smoking a real cig. 5 to 10 minutes at a time then put it in the pcc to keep it fully charged all day. Also, the tanks are small so that also argues for higher nic so you aren't hitting it as much so the tanks last longer.

It is somewhat liberating, though, not to be chain vaping all day.

Good luck on what ever you decide. The eRoll has my highest recommendation as a nice portable system.

It will get very hot if you hit it for more than a few minutes. When it gets hot, it is time to put it back in the pcc, imo.

Holding it is not a big issue for me. I tend to hold it toward the end, not close to the atomizer.

I know what you mean. I drive a clutch and also was a big fan of manual batteries. The difference is with the eroll, you can vape hands free because it is so much lighter than most auto batteries and I have found it works flawlessly, not like a typical $8 auto 510.

With a regular 510, it is to heavy to vape hands free. If you are going to have to have your hand there, you may as well have a button.

I started with the 510, then bought a ecab. No complaints, it's battery life and once day fill is just what I wanted. Without the bulky setup. I do plumbing and have drop, banged, even submersed it in mud numerous times. It still works. When the paint scratches got way too obvious I took it to the Bench grinder with a wire brush wheel, and turned into a stainless finish. 5 months and still love it.

Thanks for sharing! It seems a lot of people love the eCab!

I loves my eroll so much I bought an ego c kit, wishing I would have picked up the ecab. I have been struggling with burnt taste issues off and on since I got the C.

Sent from my Nexus 7

really i hear the ego-c is pretty awesome. first time Ive heard anyone having burnt taste issues with it. so you never had any burnt taste issues with the eRoll ?
