I was fortunate enough to find this forum before i went out to buy, i purchase lots of things through the net, my entire pc for one. So i knew that if info was out there on e-cigs, then the internet is the place to start. I started with the 510 based on what i found here, soon graduated to a mod, then straight to the Ego. Vendors should include their buisness cards with all orders sent as well as a card for ECF, so the word gets out!
I will add my thoughts when I get it. I very much doubt the KR808 will replace the EGO even if it is good. But I think different sizes/types have their place/need. I bought a set of premium carto's with it as people say they are much better than the original.
We will see....
This actually helped me out a lot. I was actually looking to save up for an eGo as time went by, and you kind of helped to sell me on it.
You also answered some of the questions I'd been thinking about for a day or two. Good post, and kudos to you. It was an excellent review

Yes, much, much better! With a drip tip, adding drops is really easy and becomes second nature, sort of like shifting gears in a car. I usually have a 3-5ml bottle of juice on hand for this purpose.
Some people drip using an empty cart, which is a good way to try out dripping, but kind of a hassle to do it regularly.
Just take off the cartridge, add 3 drops of juice to the atty, replace the empty cartridge (i.e. without any filler), then vape away. When the taste starts to drop off, or you start getting a burnt taste, remove the cart and drip some more.
With a drip tip, you don't need to keep removing and replacing a cart. The Super T drip tips are best ( and more pricey) because they have a funnel design that allows the liquid to go directly to the right spot on the atty.
Give it a try. You'll become hooked to dripping
I wish you would have mad me read this BEFORE I bought my crappy fake cig.....thanks. J/K, I think I went the wrong way about this like so many others. I didnt do ANY research before ordering my first e-cig, the SS Choice Number 7 Micro. After reading in the forums I ordered an eGo, and wishing I would've done some research first. Thanks for the post, very informative!
This is awesome information . . . I started vaping with a Puresmoke a few weeks ago, and definitely want to move up to something with lots of vapor and battery! Thanks for your hard work and investigation into this!
Don't feel to bad about it I'd bet atleast 80% of the people on this forum regret their first purchase after finding this place. The good news is you could of done much much worse the SS ecig, you might still even use that one occasionally after getting an eGo. My first was a health e-cig turned me off completely to vaping only decided to look into again recently when they jacked the taxes up again here. Loan out your SS to friends to try to convert them, I wouldn't give out the health(if it still worked) to anyone unless I really despised them
I am returning GS also and RIVA is on it ways. Why only partial refund from GS?
I find that the "lung" hit is a bit better with VG juices because i think they put out more vapor, and a higher nicotine level seems to help. I use 28-36mg. May just be me though.
Great stuff, TheBuss!! I just started my OCD research, your post saved me a ton of time! Should make a n00bie purchase soon, then I can start researching all these other dripping atty acronyms *lol*
Love the avatar, BTW. Tombstone is my all time favorite movie. I reiterate Doc's line, word by word. Nobody will watch it with me anymore...

LOL, thanks. Agreed Tombstone is a great movie.
Here is the math to get started with EGO kit.
Kit from LiteCig: $55
Initial supplies:
10 Cartomizers: $16
2 10ml bottle of liquid: $8.50
Total cost: $79.50
This will last 2-3 weeks, easily.
This is a good thread to read for newbs as it took me days of solid reading to know this much back then - literally.

20ml of liquid would last me about four days, possibly three and a half days.
Yikes. I feel like I chain vape all day and in severe need of an intervention and use less than that... LOL. You likely use LR atomizers as they go through liquid in a hurry...
Nope. Boge 510 cartos. 6 ml per day is about what I go through a day. That amount refills 12 cartos. Each carto lasts about an hour.
the average 1 PAD smoker goes through about 2-3ml of liquid a day .....so you're on the heavy side of things at 6ml a day though
Great post!
#6 - Yes, manuals do offer better control, but subtract from the smoking experience. Most of my batts are manual, but I do keep an auto Kr8 around for those occasional times I get hit with a bad craving. It just adds one more thing that is similar to smoking, and it helps. But, the performance is definitely more fickle, so I use manuals most of the time and do prefer them over-all.
#8 - Nah, you're not doing it wrong. Carts don't last very long. That's why a lot of atty-users mod their carts, or drip.

If you like dripping... try the pen spring mod over at the modding forum.
It's like dripping but, you don't have to drip.
