Reliable upgrade from Joyetech Ego-C, what to buy?

[Codrut Popescu]

I am a happy vaper for 15 days now after 19+ years of 2 PAD of analogs. I am using a joyetech Ego-C and I will never return to analogs again.
However my experience after these two weeks is that I want something else than an Ego-C. The device is good but once in a while I get burn taste. Also it is leaking. I have learned that an atomizer is good for about 1 week and the tank about the same period of time. I have learned how to make a dry burn and I even disassembled my atty and changed the silica rope. All in all I got a new hobby
However I want something more reliable. Something serviceable. Something which does not leak. Anyone can make a suggestion on which are some the finest PVs on this planet? I don't care how much it costs. I like vaping so much.

Thanks!

Congrats on 15 days and I'm glad you're over the hump. My suggestion would be a VV (variable volt) as the next and possibly ultimate step up. Realize there are better Mods than others and here's a post that illustrates perfectly what is lacking in some VV Mods. Credit to wv2win:
"Two of the bigger advantages with at least some of the better built models is warmer vapor and consistency, which, thus, better simulates the real thing. A good 5 volt model will give you warmer vapor. Many consider 4.5 - 5.0 volts the ideal vaping power level. Models that have regulated, boost circuit technology provide the ultimate in consistency. A freshly charged battery will always provide the best vaping performance. But as the battery drains, the performance begins to suffer. Usually within the first half hour. Models that have boost circuit technology, maintain the fresh battery vaping experience throughout the battery charge from first use until the battery dies. I don't know anyone who would not prefer consistency and many of us want warmer vapor."

His post makes a lot of sense because most Mods are very hard on batts and after the batt is 50% discharged the performance falls off a cliff. I've seen the performance charts.
Good Luck, Vapoor.

Have you tried using cartomizers yet?
You see the mod, regardless of how fancy it is, is only 1/3 of the equation.

 

[cyberwolf]

That would be my suggestion, too. Try some Boge 2.0 or resurrenctor cartos on your eGo batteries and you will see almost no leakage and likely a better, more consistent vape.

I use stainless steel cartos with my E-Power 14650. Currently using both the 1.7 ohm LR XL (sometimes called "Resurrector") and the 2.0 ohm LR XL. Both are Smoktech cartos and neither have leaked during the six weeks I've been vaping.

I think all the above suggestions are really good.
A VV device is def nice and allows you to dial in to your perfect vape. Some of them are expensive(provari, darwin, etc) but their are also some really nice VV PVs that are around a $100 bucks and for even cheaper you can get a VV box mod for about $35. If you don't want to go that route, a nice 3.7V PV could possibly be a nice little upgrade and will provide alittle more "ommph" than the eGo since the eGo is only 3.3-3.4V. The kGo, Riva, and Epower are all nice 3.7V PVs that are very affordable and give a great vape. The 3.7V PVs also handle the lower ohm cartos better than an eGo. For something that's serviceable and is a 3.7V you'd prob like the Epower. Everything is replaceable on it and its the only one out of the eGo, kGo, Riva, Epower that uses non-proprietary batteries like the more advanced tube mods. I use the Epower and love it. I really like that you dont have to carry a second PV to have a backup battery like you have to do now with your eGo-C. The batteries are small so it's easy to throw one in your pocket and carry an extra. It def provides more oomph and a better vape than the eGo.

Before you do any of that though I would def try some cartomizers first. They don't leak and will def provide more of a constant vape than your eGo tanks. Most people prefer cartomizers. The eGo-C tanks are def better than the older ego tanks, but I still think youd like cartos alot better. Pick up some Boge 2.0ohm cartos and see how you like them. The low resistance cartos give a really nice vape and many ego users love the Boge 2.0ohms. You could also use the Ressurectors which are 1.7ohm LR and hold almost twice the amount of juice as the Boges. They dont run at dull potential on an eGo bc they are really for 3.7V PVs, bu they still work well on the eGo and many eGo users really like them. You do have to be careful using the lower ohm cartos on an eGo, because they can potentially fry your eGo. I know quite a few people that use the Ressueectors on an eGo and never had a prOblem, but my best friend also just fried his eGo last weekend using a Ressurector. So that's why I recommend the Boge 2.0ohm. That's why I prefer the 3.7V PVs over an eGo bc I'm a big fan of the lower ohm cartos like 1.5ohm cartos and the 1.7ohm Ressurectors.

Def try some cartos first before you buy another PV. I think youll be pleasantly surprised and then you might not necessarily have to dish out more money for a new PV.

Some of my favorites are...

BuzzPro - variable voltage and a well built PV. Sold by notcigs.com

ProVari - variable voltage and built like a tank. Has some really cool features. Only disadvantage to this mod is the weight. Sold by provape.com

Prodigy V3.1 - all mechanical and can be vaped at 3 voltages...3.7 (17670), 4.8 (4.8 NiMh), 6 (2 x lifepo4's). Sold by puresmoker.com

Reo Grand - all mechanical bottom feeder mod. Can also be vaped at the same voltages as the prodigy with the exception of the battery size for the 3.7V. It takes an 18650 for more runtime. Sold by reosmods.com

Silver Bullet - all mechanical. Very well built mod. One of the more popular all mechanical mods. Can be vaped at different voltages but not recommended by the seller. Sold by altsmoke.com

Riva Indulgence V3 - Inexpensive well built mod. Can be vaped at different voltages depending on the type of batteries. I have been really impressed with this mod. Sold at vapingzone.com and elitevaporworks.com.

WOW 5V - Takes 2 lifepo4 batteries. Inexpensive mod but is very new to the market. I've been using mine on and off without problems. Sold by cloudsofvapor.com.

Maxi Roughstack - nicely built mod. Can be used at a variety of voltages depending on the types of batteries used. Sold by madvapes.com.

GLV2 5V - built like a tank. Lifetime warranty. Can be purchased in either 3.7V, 5V, or unregulated 6V. Sold by greatlakesvapor.com.

Krimson Kustoms box mods (KK mods in my sig) - some of the best box mods I've ever owned. JamesW, here on the forums, builds these and stands behind his work.

5V box mod - another honorable mention for a decent box mod is built by maximumvapor.com. Very clean electronics inside.

LavaTube - variable voltage. Not a horrible mod but inexpensive in the line of VV mods that are out there. Made in China. Bought mine at vaporgalaxy.com.

Hairball steered be to the Buzz Pros about 5 months ago. Best vaping decision I almost made myself.

 

[kabonk]

I like the was she describes the LavaTube as not horrible that's funny

 

[Muramasa]

If u seriously dun mind spending big bucks, the choice would be ss ggts + odysseus. its a mechanical mod meaning it is made to last. life time warranty from imeo too. if u want something convenient then provari or lavatube or ipro would be good. i say convenient becuz the latter allows u to dial in the voltage u want by clicks of buttons whereas the former requires changing of battery config to change voltage per say. odysseus is a rebuildable atty tank mod. For the latter, carto tank mods would suffice. but well, u can always go provari + odysseus if u want to.

 

[Codrut Popescu]

Wow! Thanks for suggestion, I will evaluate all the options. Many thanks and Merry Christmas!

 

[Codrut Popescu]

I have just ordered the Buzz Pro. I hope I will not be disappointed. Thanks to all!

Here's what I consider the best way to vape (my opinion). I use cartomizers in a cartomizer tank. I agree with the many people who advised you to try some cartomizers (Boge LR and Smoktech 1.7ohm single coils for 3.7 volt vaping and Boge SR and SmokTech Dual Coils for High Volt Vaping). If you find that you like cartomizers then get a tank.

Some cheaper tanks which work very well: Submarine Tank (Mom and Pop Vapor shop) Tanks - Mom and Pop Vapor Shop, Chibi Tank (Parkes Vaping) Carto Tank Mods ,

More expensive tanks which work very well: The J-Tank (electronicstix) J-TANKS , Big Daddy and Little Mama Tanks (Big Daddy Vapor) Big Daddy Vapor , M1A1 Buzz Tank (Notcigs) M1A1 Buzz Tank - notcigs.com

There are many. many other tanks out there of varying quality. Note, you will either have to buy prepunched or slotted cartomizers or punch and slot your own (many how to videos out there on youtube). It's not a hassle. To me this is the best and easiest way to vape.

Congrats on the Buzz Pro, a very solid choice!

 

[KeysBum]

Outstanding choice!

Congrats on choosing your Buzz OP....

I'm loving the echo-e (dual horizontal coils) cartomizers on eGo batteries.

I'm looking at your avatar, cheers have another. Is that Bourbon? I like Bourbon. BTW, the OP just bought a Buzz Pro.

That's what I get for taking 30 minutes to type a response. Might as well fill 'er up again. Bourbon, rum, tequila... I'm an equal opportunity lush.

Liquinator tank, joyetech 18650 replaceable battery/tube mod. The tank will eliminate the burnt taste!
