Really confused about the eGo

[johnny bobcat]

oh to answer another question you had, Joye and Janty are different manufacturers of the eGo. both are good. Janty more expensive and has warranty. but my Joye has done just fine!

janty sells branded joye products, both are identical except for the logo, the same goes for totally wicked

+1 on the cone changing the draw. I didn't believe it at first....couldn't see how it could make much difference. I thought it was mostly cosmetic. However, have tested it myself both ways and it's better with the cone.

Great info here.
I'm waiting for my eGo Joye 510, at least I'll have the setup correct.

The mega cartomizers hold 1.8mL, are refillable, and are great for not having to be fooled with for a long time. The atty is in the cart so you now have a two piece system. Really great wicking, less dry atty taste.

I love my eGOs...have both the 650 and the 900 batteries (2 each). Been using the 650s for about a month. 900s a week. Have used them with attys & carts...and cartomizers, performs fine with both. I just happen to prefer cartomizers because for me they last longer and are less messy to fill using the condom method. Just personal preference. Its a bit more problematic to use the cone with a cartomizer because you can block the airflow with your lips as the carto is shorter than the cartridge. To remedy that problem, I added a drip tip to the cartomizer to give it some length...works great. Adding a blank whistle tip works too. I've tried it with both the cone on and the cone off, with carts and cartos, and I honestly can't tell much of a difference in draw or vapor. Maybe just a tad better with the cone, but not significant. My husband agrees (we both use eGOs). For me, cones still seem simply cosmetic and while I love the look, it is a tad heavier that way too. I leave it off unless I'm going out to dinner with others and want it to look nice. Now for the big disappointment, not with the eGO itself, but with the new the Mega cartomizer (aka XL eGO cartomizer). First, its huge with a fairly wide whistle tip. At first, I thought that would be great for a really big TH and lots of vapor. And you DO get that. Unfortunately, it alters the taste of whatever you're vaping...and NOT in a good way. The TH is quite harsh and it leaves a nasty burning plastic taste in your mouth. I bought 10 of these (at 3 bucks apiece), so I was determined to like them. So I tried different juices at different strengths, etc. I tried filling them several different ways. Nothing helped. And they leaked all over the place no matter what method of filling I tried (watched several videos with how-to advice). I resolved the leaking problem somewhat by not filling them all the way. Its designed to hold 2ml...but if you put one more drop in then 1.5ml...it will leak like crazy no matter how you fill it. If all I got was 1.5 I would still be happy, but neither my husband or myself can tolerate the plastic taste. And lastly, you can't tell how much liquid is left in these. With other carts and cartos you can tell by looking inside them how much juice is left, but its really difficult to do that with the Mega. So, you can't top it off when its starts going dry and risk burning them. I think someone needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Either a different kind of plastic...or make it out of metal. Maybe they need a different material inside of them. I don't know. I'm putting them away in the back of the drawer, with hopes that someone will come up with a solution to salvage them. I'm not holding my breath. But we still love our eGOs. So far, so good. Love not having to recharge for a whole day. And with atty-carts or regular cartos, great vapor and flavor. Highly recommend.
