So I thought I'd give brief reviews of the two "grown-up"systems I have acquired since becoming a vaper last week. I hope these are helpful.
I bought both my systems from Vape King | Electronic Cigarettes | E-liquids | Atomizers | Cartomizers (flawless service BTW). I'd already been futzing around with two "classic"/"mini" no-name models and quickly realised that the battery life of about 90 seconds (I exaggerate, but you understand) was not going to work for me as a former pack-a-day analogue smoker (and I smoked Choice, which has 25 per pack). I did some research and browsed ECF for a few days and decided to pick these two up. I am also ordering a 510 from elsewhere. I also got a heap of E-liquids from Eastmall and TastyVapors.
1. EGO-T
The idea of a "tank" system appealed to me since I'd already had my fill (pun intended) of the tiny cartridges with their spongy foam filling. The EGO -T is composed of battery, cone-shaped atomiser, and plastic tank/mouthpiece. Even without reading the instructions it was easy to put together. The battery was already partially charged so I loaded it up with TastyVapors Caramel Popcorn and took a drag. Nothing happened. WHOOPS forgot to press the button
Okay, inhale....WOW. Lots of vapor and flavor... I can never go back to analogues. Drag is slightly harder than an analogue and gets harder the more I vape. Atomiser will require maintenance to keep clear...it retains flavors and tends to "gunk up". Negative points.
However, I still like it since it is super-easy to fill and is not too conspicuous. Tried second atty with other flavors of juice. So far I like Eastmall Litchi (beautiful fruity blend, almost perfumey, like an actual litchi), and TV Caramel Popcorn and Ultimate Vanilla.
PROS-Sleek-looking. Tanks are super-easy to refill. Spare parts are widely available.
CONS-Atomiser sometimes clogs and is difficult to reach for cleaning. Tank has occasionally been known to leak especially if you store it horizontally. Draw can be a little tight.
2. GOGO
The GOGO battery is a bit fatter than the EGO-T. It comes with cartomisers instead of a tank. For some reason it comes with two batteries but only one cone. Once again it is easy to assemble HOWEVER I made the fatal noob error of pulling the foam out of the carto. FAIL.
I couldn't get it back in! Or at least not with the neat rolled shape it came in. I struggled with it for a while and then stuffed it back in with a pair of tweezers, soaked it with liquid and hoped for the best. Juice was my own TV custom blend of Boysenberry/Tangerine/Lemonade.
I choked a bit on the first puff since the vapor was so profuse and the draw is noticeably lighter than the EGO-T. But HOLY CANNOLI is that ever amazing! Clouds of fragrant, fluffy white vapor everywhere. And if I do say so myself I hit it out of the park with my custom blend...refreshing and citrusy and a little sweet. Almost thirst-quenching.
I filled up another carto (leaving the foam inside, thankyouverymuch) with TV Geoff's Blend and I understand why so many people are spoiled for this juice- the cinnamon flavor of the gods! Filling the cartos was a bit tricky since they are so big, and I had to do the drip, drip, drip method which takes some time. But the website says they hold 3ml so in the future I will just buy a 3ml syringe and fill it up in seconds.
PROS: Cartomisers enable me to keep one dedicated to each flavor without contamination. Super clear and strong flavors and vapor. Easy and instinctive to use even for beginners.
CONS: Foam inside cartomisers is fiddly to reinsert once removed. A bit clunkier than the EGO. Light draw may not be to everyone's taste. Must use GOGO's own brand of replacement parts.
Which one do I like better?
Not sure yet. They both have a place in my vaping rotation, but as someone who is just discovering the infinite world of E-liquid flavors, the design of the GOGO with cartomisers that can be swapped instantly with no cross-contamination, is very appealing. If I can continue to get supplies locally, I think the GOGO will become my PV of choice. Won't stop me from trying others though! I also plan to keep my "mini" models for when I need to blend in, or when I'm just not in the mood to explain PVs to every passer-by.
Incidentally, I've only charged them once since receiving them on Tuesday. These will last ALL.DAY.
So far, my favorite liquids are:
Eastmall Litchi, Cappuccino, Vanilla and Whiskey (!!)
TV Caramel Popcorn, Ultimate Vanilla, Geoff's Blend, Custom blend of Tangerine/Boysenberry/Lemonade, Custom Blend of Hazelnut/Maple/Cheesecake
Thanks for reading!
