Question about 510-t

[sgraves66]

Based on what I've been reading in this forum, I decided to go with a Joye 510-t. Parts arrived today and I'm experiencing some known issues such as leaking tank and reduced flavor/vapor, but I wanted a portable kit that supports 510 accessories. With that said, I'm much more content coming from blu and very eager to try some flavors

I ordered 340mah 510 XL batteries and was wondering if the Boge 2.0 cartos would provide a better overall experience without taking away too much from battery life. I was an ultra-light smoker, so I just need a bit more vapor/punch to feel satisfied. Still smoking about 1 paper cig every other day or so - haven't found the right e-cig solution quite yet.

The Riva 510, ePower, and eGo batteries look pretty big and seem like they would be awkward to use, but, if that's what I really need to do to get the punch I'm looking for, I'm all ears.

LR cartos are for 450mah+ batteries. You should get a fat battery model like Ego or Riva 510 or a mod to use LR.

The ego mega batteries work well for me. I vape fairly heavy and they last me all day and a little more. I have used Lr atty's and carto's and dual coil cartos and tanks on them with no problems and you can use anything for a 510 thread on them. They are about the size of a sharpie permanent marker (just a little shorter) with the cap off, and about the same size around. Here is a link to check them out. The price is $17.95 and shipping is about $3.00 and they are genuine joyetech. LINK They also have a VV ego that I use also and at its highest setting it packs a pretty good hit. I believe it is $24.00.

Congrats on dropping the Blu! I hated mine, and I was smoking a gas station e-cig at the time.

Good thing about any of the 510 system (eGo has a 510 thread) is if you run out of juice you can use a Blu cartridge if till the mail man comes with your juice.

The eGo battery is bigger but you get used to it pretty fast (I went from a cigarette sized unit to the eGo). Also the eGo has a button you have to press to fire it up. That takes getting used to also. Once in a while I still forget to press the button.

The size and having a manual battery is something (at least I did) get used to pretty fast.

And as for still smoking the analogs. You've cut back and that is what matters. One day you'll realize you haven't had an analog for a week. I know the last time I had one it tasted like a yak poop sandwich

There are other things in analogs that your body is addicted to as well as the nicotine. So you still might get a craving but at least it is easier to fight the craving if you have your PV around.

And NOTE - do not charge ANY normal 510 batteries in a 510-T auto's charging cable. 510-T auto's charging cable is different and can damage (melt) normal 510 batteries. Only charge 510-T auto batteries in it.

Good point Dormouse.

Boge2.0s are too low a resistance for your batts, a 2.5-3ohm is more in line with your batts...try a pk of them OR, forget the slimline batts and get a set of Riva batts and some LR gear...the Riva batts are actually shorter than the XL and about 50% fatter...they really are easy to use and not too long or "clumsy" looking............

After about 1/2 tank, it started producing more, but still lacking. Thanks for the advice. This forum is great.

I found some 2.5 cartos that I'll try on the 510-t. BUT I decided to bite-the-bullet and get an ego 650mah kit. With that, I ordered a few different cartos (1.5 to 2.0) and a dual-coil to see how they feel.

I read madjack's post a little too late, but the two seem comparable. Would've saved me a few bucks but hopefully this will be the last purchase for now.

You will be VERY pleased with boge 2.0 on an ego battery. They are real champs together. I did not care for Dual Coil on Ego or VV mods.

 

[sgraves66]

It seems that the Boge 2.0 are what most are recommending. I got a 5-pack of those but singles for the rest. I think I'll be satisfied with the 510-t w/cartos for work - the stock tanks really don't last (2-3 cig feel), the leak is annoying but not consistent, and I don't want to constantly have to refill.

Although my hands smell nice and sweet. Seems to be a good thing for the wife. She's supporting this form of nicotine delivery, mainly so she can smell all the nice flavors 15 years is too long to smell like an ashtray.

Be careful using 1.5ohm cartos on an eGo. They put a lot of stress on the eGo MOSFET and will fry your eGo if your not careful. Like everyone else said, it you want a LR carto for the eGo I'd use the Boge 2.0ohm. They work very well

I came to a Joye Ego-T Mega after using Blu. I still use the Blu as a backup and when I need to have something discreetly sized. I didn't know about the tank issue and now I'm tinkering around with some alternatives. I don't know how Mega compares to a regular 510 so I can't offer suggestions. Good luck!

Why is that? Lower is more difficult? I just bought 2 different types of cartos: eGo Mega DUal Coil Cartos, at 1.6 ohms and Clear eGo Mega dual coil cartos, which are also 1.6. Since they said "Ego Mega" I figured I couldn't go wrong, since that's what I have. Should I be worried?
