EGO threads have become something of a public domain naming thing.

"Ego" as a brand name are made by innokin, and I think were the first to come out with that style of threading, so it's now referred to as "ego" or "ego-style".

If one style fits better than another on Ego threads, that's the design of the actual device.

Funny you should ask. I just realized my evods and protank minis are ego threaded not 510 today when I got some 510 to 510 adapters (I use them as battery shields for tank leaks) and I couldn't use them on those two types of clearomizers. It never occurred to me before since the larger protank is 510 threaded. Now I ordered a 510/ego adapter to see if that will work.

Actually, the ego concept came from a man from Texas who sold the idea to Joyetech in 2009.

The reason I'm asking is an engineering issue. I'm already noticing after vaping for a few weeks that there are threading issues with a large, heavy clearomizer or tank and the smaller 510 threads. I first noticed this after getting a Mistic e-cig, which is KR808D-2 threaded: the threads are beefier and I've had slightly fewer issues unscrewing the cartomizer. With the larger clearomizers using 510 threads, I'm starting to notice a little wear and loose fitting on my eGo batteries (I'm thinking of using a little thread treatment, like Loctite). IMO, this is really only an issue with anything heavier than the CE4/Stardust clearomizer.

The H2 I have is eGo threaded but its horrible for gurgling/spitting juice. But it does have a nice tight, supported fit on the eGo battery.

I think it is an error to use 510 on the biggest tanks*. It seems weaker and more prone to thread problems than eGo fitting.

I have a HUGE 5ml rebuildable atomizer upstairs... it's a Taifun GT. It has 510. It would be far more stable using a wider thread.

*The trouble is, all the best stuff had historically been 510 threading. Every classic mod I've seen is 510.

If vaping survives long enough, maybe there will be a move to something newer and less problematic?
