Please inform me of the absolute best clearomizer for my Ego-T?

[HighlanderNorth]

I have 2 pv's now, a Tornado tank Ego-T from Totally Wicked and a Torpedo-VVV(Lava Tube) also from TW. I just started using the Torpedo VV yesterday even though I've had it for 6 days. I finally got the 6ml dual coil tank working well, but I still cant get the stock Torpedo clearomizer that came with the Torpedo working right. I filled it yesterday and let it sit for a few minutes letting the string get soaked, and yet all I get is burnt rope flavored hits! I tried it again today and got 1 decent hit, then back to burnt rope flavor again. But as long as the 6ml tank works, I'm happy!

So I've also bought 3 Smoktech LR cartos for mt Ego-t, and they work pretty well, but they are loud and I think they get too hot too quick. I dont really want a 1.5ohm LR carto/atomizer. The factory-stock atomizer cone that came on the Ego-T works fine, but I'd also like a clearomizer for it that hols a bit more e-liquid than 1ml, but I dont want 1.5ohms.

Question 1: What is the resistance of the stock atomizer on the Ego-T? I heard its somewhere between 2.2-2.4ohms, but I'm not sure. Is a 1.8ohm carto/clearo going to be obviously less hot and loud than the 1.5ohm? Or do I need to go with 2- 2.2ohm?


Question 2: Once that line of questioning is cleared up, which clearomizer is the best for an Ego-T, and what resistance should I get it in? Like I mentioned above, I had problems with the long wick in the Torpedo clearomizer from TW, because it just doesnt want to wick liquid onto the darn coil! I certainly dont want something that is going to give me burnt cotton flavor 1/2 the time!

There are tons of different models of clearos out there. There are also cartos that have clear plastic tanks, but they are not called clearos for some reason(?) I have been looking into the Vision Stardust/V3 clearomizer, but thats another challenge, because its hard to figure out which model is the V2 or the V3. Some stores have V2's, but call them V3's. I believe the V3 has tips that are the same color as the tank, and the V3 has replaceable atomizer head, whereas the V2 has black tips, and long wicks but no replaceable atomizer head. Thats the best I can figure, correct me if I'm wrong. There's even a guy who does popular e-cig reviews, and he's got a Vision clearomizer video all about the confusion of which model is which, but yet at the end he does a review of a V3, but its not a V3, its a V2!!

Confusing......

Such a subjective question. And you will have as many answers as there are people.

But you're looking at some CE4+ or the Kanger T2! That's what it boils down to for me.

Now you might like the CE2s or CE3s, which I don't. Or maybe the Kanger T0?

Who knows... Just start buying and trying.

Hope you don't mean any of the tank systems that use a punched carto!

 

[zoiDman]

I like 2.6~2.8 ohm MiT CE2's myself.

There are many CE2's out there. Many are So-So. I Only use the MiT/RS CE2's

I dont understand what you are trying to get across in a couple sentences here. In sentence #2 you said "But you're looking at some CE4+ or the Kanger T2! That's what it boils down to for me." I have no idea what you are saying there. But you are looking at a CE4 or a Kanger T2! What does that mean? I dont remember mentioning a Kanger T2. Are you recommending a Kanger T2 or a Ce4?


Sentence #4: "Hope you don't mean any of the tank systems that use a punched carto!" I am looking for a clearomizer, and whichever one is best is what I am asking for. Are you talking about a tank that has a carto with a small hole in the bottom? I do have a 6ml dual coil tank from TW that seems to be working great since yesterday. Of course that could change! Are you saying that tanks with punched cartos are bad?

I just didnt follow what you meant there in those 2 sentences, thanks....

 

[Salt&PePPer]

The truth is I didn't read all of your post. And I did breeze through writing my incomplete sentences. Was going more off of the title of this post.

It don't matter if you didn't write anything about the Kanger. Truth is the Kanger T2 is everybit what the CE4 is and you should give it a try.

But alas, I think I will leave it at that with this thread. Something just reminds me too much of dealing with one of my former managers who needed to be explained everything in a such a micro managed manner.

Good luck.

 

[zoiDman]

I don't Really know what People even Consider to be a Clearomizer anymore?

If a Person say that they like a Mellow Hit then I would Point them towards a Bottom Coil Design. If they say the Like a Warmer Hit, then a Top Coil might be more for them. If they say that they Use 100% VG, I would warn them that they Might have Wicking Problems. If they say that they Vape at More than 8 watts, I don't recommend Any because Most don't work well at more than 8 watts.

I think that a person just has to Buy a pack of Whatever and try them to know what works for them..

No, I didnt want anything to be explained in a "micro managed manner", I just didnt understand what you were saying, because you didnt post in a remotely clear manner. I tried to ask you you in a polite way what you meant, but I guess you got upset for some reason. The whole thing could be avoided by posting clear sentences. Not micro managing, just clear English.

Thats all......

But thanks for the Kanger T2 recommendation, I will be ordering one of them.

Yeah, I've been doing this for one week now. Prior to that I only owned a disposable e-cig for 3 days, thats my entire e-cig history. I think the guy who posted above you was under the impression that I am a seasoned vaper, but I tried to explain that I am not in my OP. So this is all Greek to me. I've done like 30 hours of reading and research in the past 2 weeks, and I've learned a lot about this stuff, but there's still a lot to be learned.

I cant always figure out the difference between a clearo, a carto and an atty anyway! Many models look the same. They have a clear or translucent cylinder with an atomizer inside, and sometimes a string wick, sometimes its filled with cotton or whatever. Sometimes neither, theres just a hole in the carto. I call that type "tanks" though.

I mainly use 60/40 or 70/30 PG/VG%. I dont know the wattage, only the voltage. The Ego-T is 3.4V I believe, and I use the Torpedo VV at about 3.4-4V usually. Maybe up to 4.5V at the max, but not often.

I like a "moderate" hit. It doesnt have to be harsh or extremely mellow, just moderate. I think e-liquid flavor and nicotine has a lot to do with whether you are going to get mellow or harsh hits too. I tried one flavor yesterday that is sooo mellow that I couldnt get a hit! Others give big hits with small tokes..

 

[tj99959]

Rest assured something bigger and better will come out next week, maybe even tomorrow.
There is more to be said about how you use one of these newer clearo products than there is to be said about which one is best. IMO the key is to play around with whatever one you get, and make it work the way you want.

The problem with a Forum this size is that if you ask for an Opinion, you are going to get Tons of People who Like this and Tons who Like that and Tons that Like Something Else.

Couple that with a Clearmizer can mean just about Anything with a Clear Tube.

And to Make things Even Worse, Ohm can't be Directly translated from one Type of Carto to the Next. A 3.0 Ohm CE2 Hits Completely Different than a 3.0 ohm CE3.

And if all that Doesn't Make your Head Spin, now Retailers are starting to Call a Carto What Ever They Want.

It's a Big Frigging Mess.

From what you said you Like and for your e-liquid, I would think a Top Coil Design would be a Good Choice.

Have you tried the vivi nova, it's really good.

 

[Jay99]

The best clearomizer you will find is the Vivi nova, there's a mini for ego's and the full size one for anything else, I think most would agree that this is the one to go for. They hold a lot of e-liquid.

I hate clearomizers, the long wicked ones don't work, and the short wicked ones require tilting. There are so many versions (CE1/2/3/4/5/6 e.t.c.) so I just don't bother.

I am a tank person, so I use the Biansi imist which is one of the best, the atomizer lasts for months and the wicks cost a dollar for 5 of them, and it will last you all day. I don't like clearos or cartmoizers because when you want to change juices, your going to have to swap the carto/clearo or wash it out or wait for the juice to change, you will get dry hits and they will stop working. With a tank system, you finish with the current juice, pop some other in and it will change relatively quickly. You can change any bit without having to cut some wick out or recoil something, its much easier and cheaper in the long run.

I say get a Vivi nova, get a Biansi imist decide which one you like more.


By the way, you say you have been doing this for one week, I was like that at first microplanning every aspect of my vaping experience, it just doesn't work like that. I have made loads of vaping mistakes and you will learn as you go along, don't try and learn it all.

Carto is foam, clearo is a carto without foam, and a tank is like a petrol tank. Thats how I remember it.

 

[zoiDman]

I have. And I think they are a Very Good Filler-Less Carto.

I am a Die Hard CE2 user. I have used them since Before they were called a CE2 (when they first came out they were called the "E2"). Check out the Date that this Thread was started.

They give Me the hit I am Looking for. But I would recomend a Vivi Nova to Anyone.

Isn't a Darn Good Carto.

Good answer ! I like the CE4 and Kanger T2. For the Kanger T2, you can buy new heads very cheap so buy some LR and then some standard or HR heads so you can experiment. It will also make a difference on what juices you use with them.

 

[Salt&PePPer]

I know good answer huh? And to think you didn't have any problems with getting the information from it? Sorry inside joke.

Off topic; I will admit I was writing on my smart phone and was punctuated with what I wrote.

Back on topic.

The price variance for the T2 heads are all over the place. Seen them as low as 90 cents all the way up to $2.99 which is just a rip-off. Further the tip have issues with coming loose from their metal threads. I've heard through the grapevine that the newer model doesn't have that problem. But when I got my five pack of T2s a few weeks ago they sent me five tips for free. Couldn't figure out why until the first tip went wrong.

After reading your 2nd post, I spent about an hour looking up T2's all over the place, and prices for them and the replacement coils are all over the map, but I finally found them at a site where they have a great price on both the T2 and the coils.

The store is called " Stormy's Vapor Cellar", and their price for the Kanger T2 was $5.49, and a 5-pack of coils was only $6.99.

I was also considering the Vision Stardust, Ego, V3, CE4, etc, etc, but figuring out which one is the V3 is difficult, and I'm about 80% sure I know which one is which, but there's still that 20% that I could be wrong....... Not only that, but the replacement coils for it are like $1.99-$3.50 apiece. The V3 is usually $6.99.

Wish I wouldve waited til I got more answers here though, cause now it seems most people are saying to try the Biansi imist or the Vivi Nova(which I opted not to buy cause its more expensive).

But somehow I'm sure I'll end up buying all of them by the time I'm done!

I bought the 6ml dual coil tank from Totally Wicked in light mint green, and 6 extra cartos for it. I had trouble with it. I followed the video from TW to a tee, putting 30 drops into the carto on an angle, then filled the tank with 3ml's, but when I went to take a drag, all I got was burnt rope taste! I even let it sit for a while first too.

So yesterday I grabbed an extra carto for it and filled it with about 45 drops! Then I filled the tank with about 3mls, and let it sit for 2 minutes, and ever since its been fabulous!

 

[daniele25]

I'm another vote for the Vivi Nova (I have been using the mini's in particular) I went through several stardusts (different versions) and the CE3s or "Phoenix" clearos, along with some others, and I just found them to be very inconsistent, performance declined quickly, or they were just too much of a hassle to fiddle with. After all of that I did not have high hopes when I got my Vivi Nova, but I love this thing! I immediately ordered more, along with a variety of the replaceable heads so I could find the ideal ohm/volt combo on my eGo Twist. I haven't had any issues yet, and have been vaping with them exclusively (and heavily) for about 2 weeks now. Highly recommend them!

And your 2nd point made me think of this hilarious video/review PBusardo did on the Stardusts. A lot of people have seen it already, but just in case you (or anyone else browsing this thread) have not, it's definitely worth watching.

I've had my ViVi Nova two days now, and I still think my T2's hit better. My T2 on a 650 eGo is a more satisfying vape right now than the Nova on my lavatube. Maybe the Nova just needs to break in a bit more, I only earlier refilled it for the first time.

daniele, thanks for that pbusardo link, just watched it.
