Please help me choose between Ego-T, Ego-W and Ego-C

[rabernet]

i think the ego-C's main design point was honestly to find a way to get more $. They appear to be the same parts as in an egoT (more or less), but can be separated. magically during the separation process they of course ended up costing more when combined, in comparison to a regular egoT atomizer.

anyway, i love their batteries, but am prefering to go with cartomizers for now. a big dual coil low resistance cartomizer (2x3ohm as 1.5ohm) blew the egoT B amotizer (which is a big improvement over the A atomizer) out of the water in terms of vapor and taste (to me anyway, i guess its all subjective though), they're much cheaper and seem to last just as long.

but either way, you can't really go wrong with an ego anything, as i believe they're all the same battery threads, so you can use the atomizers (A/B/C/W) interchangeably on any single battery. so buy whichever you feel like, and try out the other atomizers seperately if you're curious or want the best opinion of all: yours

one thing i did love about the tank system (never had any leaks on my egoT) was the ability to swap out the tanks/flavors quickly. which was great when i started and had about 15 different tanks filled with different flavors and was trying to find what i liked. now that i know what i like and its basically 3 flavors that i occasionally mix together, i have no need for the swapping around, i just keep 3 big cartomizers filled with what i like and swap out the cartomizer whenever i feel like it instead.

Not sure I'm following you on how they end up costing more than the T? The atomizers are already almost $5 less per atty. Calculate out how many times you'll change out an atty over the time you'd use the unit, and you can see what the savings are. You make a one time investment of $13 for the cone (assuming you don't get the kit), $6 or less (on sale right now) for the atties, and $7 for 5 tanks.

How do you even clean or blow out the atties on the T? I really don't know, since I've never had one, but it looks like you replace the entire cone with the atty inside of it for the T?

Can you use the LR attys on a 900 mah passthrough? I see alot of them specifically say "NOT for use on passthrough ... blah blah"
I don't want to fry my conjoined-twin!

Good question - let me ask my Ego-C brothers and sisters in another thread for you. I'll come back and link back to the thread for you.

 

[Balthezar]

I use smoktech 1.5 dual coil cartos on mine, 650mAh passthrough, have had no problems, but it is suggested here not to go below 1.7, and some say 2.0. so I'm gonna go with the 2.0 next time, just in case.

 

[BluSwatch]

I have a 650 mah also, and love them both, but the 900 has been glued to my hand today ..... the difference in battery time seems to be significantly more.

I've been ordering SR (2.7 or something like that) cartos and clearomizers.

Here's the thread I went and asked the question in, if you'd like to follow it.

Thanks Rabernet ..... I'll keep an eye out.

 

[platinum70]

thank you all for your replies but please don't go off topic.

I'll try to make it simple as i'm just a newbie who wants his first e-cig. while using it i'll probably realize and learn about the different atty's, LR's etc. at this stage i want a complete kit, i'll consider assembling my own modified e-cigs in the future when i'm more familiar with this.

I found the ocean sun store at vaporhawk.com which several members bought from in the past and were happy with the products and service.

I can order an EGO-C {$36}, EGO-W F1 (with a fancy battery) {$41.6} or an EGO-T {$35}

I would like to be easy to maintain (no maintenance is preferred) and assemble.
I like the EGO-W because it looks like a pen and has a clip to be used on shirts.
Which would be the best choice? Please help

What extras (spare parts for those which might worn out) should i buy along with the kit (except liquid)?

The short answer: Soak that puppy with juice, hook it up and vape away. I have several of these I use on my ego 650 passthrough. They hit like a beast. Lots of vapor, but not a lot of heat.

Long answer: It' is a voltage issue. That addy will be fine on your ego passthrough BATTERY. These batts deliver 3.3V to the device regardless of whether they are plugged in or not.

Most passthroughs (must be plugged in to do anything) throw the voltage of the power source (5V). This voltage is not recommended for anything under 3ohms.

I've seen a few voltage regulated (non battery) passthroughs. Set the voltage right and you can run whatever ohm atty/carto you want.

Was that confusing enough?

I'm new to this also - however read much on this forum,,,, not sure why all the discussion around C / T

eGo-C or eGo-T are exactly the same - battery wise (same sized) / atomizer (same ohms) / and tanks - the only difference is that the atomizer in the C can be replaced separately rather than the entire cone like in the T - which in turn will run a bit cheaper on the C as they don't need to sell you the entire cone because it's reusable...

Please correct me if I'm wrong....??? so Platinum70 if the difference is only a buck for the C get it and when you need a new atomizer reap the benefit of them being cheaper....

I can't see how there are any differences, if there is a leaking issue on the eGo tank system it will be present on the T or C regardless... unless they changed the way the atomizer pierces the tank or the tank cap is changed up ??? Also with the taste comments - unless the C has a better quality or design in the coil of the atomizer there should be absolutely no difference in taste as it runs same battery voltage / ohms resistance in the atomizer....

Being a total newbie, i was just looking for the ecig that would be the easiest for me to begin with. I don't mind the minor differences between the cigs but the C was recommended more in the earlier replies and thus i orderd one from China a few days ago. All i want is to quit smoking, not becoming a vaping expert

Who did you order yours from? To my knowledge, there are only two authorized distributors at the moment - Ovale and Heaven's Gifts. Any other Chinese company selling systems as C's are not going to be genuine Joye Ego-C's, and therefore may not perform as reliably as the genuine system. I just want you to be aware of this, in case you have any issues with it.

The Ego-C has addressed the leaking problems that the T was infamous for. Been using this for just about 3 weeks, and no leaks.

I have read that flavors on the T were often described as muted, but reviews of the C are that the flavors come through clean, crisp and flavorful, particularly when using the LR atomizers.

I have ABSOLUTELY no leaking whatsoever with my eGo-T's, neither with the A atty or the B atty and I have had them for THREE MONTHS. Also I have no problem with 'muted flavor'.
Just saying.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience with the T as well!

 

[SirVette]

I have eGo-T type A for 6 mo. & no problems w/ flavor, leaks etc. Type C attys on the way.

 

[SirVette]

Does the eGo T have removable attys? I was using cartos with my eGo, but found a cone-atty type thing at a local smoke shop with the clear small tanks ....... so is that like an eGo T? Well, I was wondering if the atty goes out, I have to buy a whole new cone? It looks like the eGo C has little attys you just pop out, but save your cone.
Do I have this right?

The eGo has a 510 atty & cone. The eGo-T has a 1 piece atty/cone. If you have an eGo then the "cone-atty type thing" & a tank would convert it to an eGo-T either type A or B which has larger tanks.
You understand C correctly.

 

[Vintagecharm]

I am also a newbie but for what it's worth I bought a Ego Tank and liked it but after reading the Forum I decided to buy a Go Go and it's amazing. I found the Ego Tank messy and not as powerful as the Go Go plus the juice seems better. I find I am always reaching for the Go Go.

Here's what i posted in another thread recently {trimmed the irrelevant parts}

I'm a total newbie to vaping and joined the forum very recently after trying the mini cigs and being quite satisfied but not enough. Living in Israel made shipping and its cost to be somewhat a problem as not all the stores ship worldwide and those who do had high prices for shipping and items.

Being interested in the Ego-C and finding it at the lowest price on Vaporhawk.com made me search for posts about this store as i was afraid to just place an order without knowing anything about it. so i googled for "vaporhawk.com forum" (without the quotes) and found quite a few positive feedback posts from various members on this and other forums, especially about the Ocean Sun store.

Although i've realized the original Ego-C is sold exclusively by Ovale, i've placed an order 4 days ago for my first "professional" e-cig (Ego-C) at the Ocean Sun store knowing it's a clone but after reading so many threads here saying clones are usually very good, i'm a little less skeptic.

I haven't got my item yet so i can't tell you how good it is (or not) but the communication with the seller was okay and my request for liquid samples was pleasantly accepted.

From what i read, people are happy with their products and keep returning. i hope this would be the for me just as well because of the prices and the free shipping.

if you don't mind waiting, let me know in a few weeks you are interested in my opinion (although i'm not sure how good a newbie's opinion can be) and i'll post about my experience with them.

I must mention (would be only fair) that i have not found any bad opinions about them nor their products. it is most likely that i wouldn't place my order if there were such.

Just my 2 cents

Having said that, in the recent years i've bought several products on Dealextreme.com and they were working and doing what i bought them for.
I always buy things other bought before me and reviewed them.
Considering the fact that buying from DX is buying from an anonymous "Ching Ling Ming" manufacturer and the products do work, i took my chances buying from someone who is not that anonymous and has gained a good reputation from customers before me. you can see this Ego-C clone here.
I do hope it will work well

I've been vaping with my new ego T for about 5 days now. I did notice some slight leaking with one cart. I replaced the hard caps supplied with the ego T tanks with the soft silicone tank caps from cignot.com and have experienced no further leaking. Additionally, the soft tank cap is easier to remove and replace and also easier to insert into the ego T atty. During this time I've only smoked 4 analogs - mainly as research to compare and contrast the ego T experience to the real thing. The advantages of the ego T over the real thing are:
You don't need an ignition source
You don't need an ashtray
You won't find ashes littering the inside of your vehicle
Your clothes and breath don't stink after satisfying your nicotine craving (especially important if you work with the public)
You can vape after sex without setting your bed on fire

Other than these factors, I've found the experiences practically identical.
