Im new to this, but I have had a regular cig style 510 before. Didn't stick with it so here I am again. I went to a local shop and got an Ego style variable voltage set up with a cartomizer, and it was okay the first day but seems to suck now. I am not familiar with all these different things you can use..atomizer, cartomizer, tank ect. I am looking for something to use with this battery that will produce good results. Please give me some advice of options I have with a 510 threaded Ego type set up. Thanks!!

What I mean by good results is..easy to use, less refills with good vapor results and least expensive at the same time.
I prefer the 3.5ml tanks - steady & productive vape and lasts about a day w/o refilling (for me). Can get the tanks for ten bucks & the single-coil tank cartos are about the same price as a standard. Performs fabulously on my eGo & even better on the KGO.
Get yourself some boge 2.0 cartomizers or some 1.7 smoktek single coil cartomizers and you'll be good to go!

You need skill - there is a bit of a learning curve to using cartos. And I recommend you start with easy simple cartomizers like Boge (2.0 for the hotter ones since you have a 450mah+ battery, 3.0 for the cooler easier to learn on ones), not dual coils, not jumbo cartos, not anything clear. I recommend thin clear juices with cartos for best results - by thin I mean around 80PG/20VG and I avoid dark, opaque or cloudy liquids that drop carto-clogging flavoring sediment.
This is how I fill 1ml cartos, cleanup, settle, then keep them damp. Works for me. I can get 10 days use out of a Boge 510 or about 15-20ml of juice run through it. You can fill them some other way but you still need to use suitable juice, fill them to their stated capacity and no less, clean up, settle, and keep damp.

How I fill V4L/Volt/Bloog KR8 cartos and Boge 510 cartos
With the carto off the battery... Pop out the soft cap with an unbent paperclip in the mouth hole, very careful not to catch stuffing or the wire loop.
Shake and open the eliquid
Fill
Hold a bit of tissue on the threaded end hole (or use the carto condom spike to block the hole),tilt the carto, and add 18 drops per ml of capacity into the stuffing (Boges and most KR8 cartos are about 1ml). You may need to wait a bit for the first few to soak in, then continue. After getting the 18 in, wait 15 seconds or so then see how many more drops the carto stuffing will soak in easily.
Cleanup
Clean up the threaded end, tilt open end down into tissue, puff into threaded end to clear air channel (Boges and the KR8 cartos I use have a defined center air channel and I want to see light through that) While the carto is still open end down, touch a soft bunch of tissue to the top of the stuffing to get the loose juice - this will help prevent leaks.
Settle (first fill only)
Cap and let it settle - I lay it on different sides and on the ends for 15-20 minutes to make sure every bit of stuffing gets damp so I won't singe the carto. if you use thicker juice than me (I use 20% Vg or less) then you may need to wait much longer.
While vaping
While vaping - any time the vapor seems light, dry, or tastes the tiniest bit off or loses flavor, or if the carto is getting abnormally warm, I add liquid. I also occasionally look at the stuffing (especially before putting a fresh battery on or before going out) and if the top of the stuffing looks white, I add some juice. No settle needed when just keeping the carto damp. And if you do not keep it damp or if you use juice that is too thick (too much VG) you will singe the carto and that adds a bitter taste.
I use a simple plastic or delrin drip tip in place of the end cap so it is easy for me to remove that to look at the stuffing or add juice. I use thin clear juices that leave the stuffing white.

Yes, single coil Boge cartos give a very nice vape. They are inexpensive, readily available, last a long time, and work well. I've never understood the fascination with the exotic cartos. I tend to stick with something simple that works.
I have several of these and they work well. The only drawback to a "grommet" type tank is that you have to fill/refill using a syringe. It's not as difficult as it would first sound. Chibi Tank Syringe Fill - YouTube Form one of the moderators here at ECF. BiancaMontgomery.
