Greetings and Salutations Fellow Vapers. I wanted to post this thread as a specific place for any and all Side by Side Comparisons between two different Go-Go/Ego, (Or any other Big Battery PV's). I will start by posting my personal side by side comparison between the eGo-T tank System and the Go-Go Cartomizer System.



EGO-T VS Go Go​
(Round 1…..FIGHT!)​

Okay, As Promised Here is my side by side review

Point 1 Ease of Settup:
Ego-T: Fairly Easy, although I had to pierce the tank and then remove it and fill the tank and then Blow out the Primer from the Atty, This is for both type A and Type B Atty’s. The Type B Tanks are larger and it is more difficult to remove the cap to fill.
Go Go: Way Easy, I removed it from the box, opened up the Cartomizer , screwed it in and got my lungs kicked in by the Minty Menthol 24mg juice I requested prefilled.

Point 2 Batterys:
Ego-T: I have 650 mAh and 1000 mAh Batteries for the eGo-T. Batteries fit nicely in the charger and the 650 lasts me about 4-7 hrs of moderate to heavy use. The 1000 lasts me anywhere from 8 to 12 hours of moderate to heavy use.
GoGo: 2 1300 mAh Batteries included and right out of the box I placed one on the charger and used the other,(and am still using it 8 hours later). Now this is where the problem came in with the battery/charger system. As previously identified there is a problem with the charger so I did have to go out and get some emmery boards to file down the plastic lip on the charger to get the battery to connect and charge.

Point 3 Vapor Quality/Quantity/Flavor:
Ego-T: Good Vapor Quality and Quantity with the type A Atty/Tank, fair flavor overall, not so hot with darker juices, kinda tastes burnt. Great Vapor Quality and Quantity with the Type B Atty/Tank Really good Flavor too, have not gotten a burnt taste once with the Type B even with darker juices and it creates a Fog Bank when exhaling. Pretty consistant too with the Type B.
GoGo: Outstanding Vapor Quality/Quantity And the Flavor is amazing! The Consistency is for lack of a better word, Perfect, I have gotten the exact same taste and quantity of flavor with every single puff over the last 8 hours. Vapor Quantity is also amazing, huge billowing clouds of vapor with every single Puff.
Point 4 Tanks/Cartomizer Ease of use:

Ego-T: The Tanks both Type a and Type B are fairly easy to use, they are a little difficult to remove the end cap to refill, but if you get a small dropper or syringe with a small enough blunt tip needle it can be refilled without removing the cap. The Type B Holds at least twice as much Juice,(Approx 2-2.5 ml), as the Type A, but as previously stated the cap is more difficult to remove.

GoGo: Simple One piece Cartomizer, very easy to install and start right away. Quite simple to refill too, pop the plug off and drip juice into it to refil, the downside here is that you have to drip, then wait, then drip, then wait. But it holds a Wopping 3 ml of juice so you don’t have to refill as often.

Point 5 The Draw/Puff/Hit/”Toot” whatever you want to call it LOL

Ego-T: Totally unpredictable with the Type A Atty’s/Tanks, sometimes it is as smotth as silk and airy sometimes it is extremely tight and hard to draw on, usually that indicates a cleaning is needed. Wit the Type B Atty’s and Tanks that I have it is perfectly airy for my taste, kinda like an LR atty but pretty consistant with the draw. Always a good draw and always a lot of Vapor.
GoGo: Very airy draw, extremely consistant too. Every draw is the same, easy and very full.

In conclusion, I must say I enjoy the Go Go Much more after using tem side by side as the Go Go has been much more consistant on performance for me.
So these are some very key Points that I have found thus far that are extremely important aspects of a PV for me. I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a side by side comparrison and am open to any and all questions on anything I may have missed.

Wow, Thank you guys, Yes I am really looking forward to seeing a lot of comparisons between a lot of models here, especially with as fast as new users like myself are popping up like daisies I figure it might help people make a more informed decision like the ego-T vs Go-Go thread did for me :D

When you find a better battery PV that will last 21+ hours of very heavy, constant vaping, automatically adusts the power to the atty as the resistence changes/atty degrades and provides the same good consistent throat hit even as the battery is about to die, that will be a good one to add to the comparison. Oh, wait there is one!

This looks like a useful thread for new vapers. Well done initial comparison. Although I would call it Medium Sized Battery Units instead of Big Battery.

The variable volt Darwin. Alas, I did not realize I was in the eGo sub-forum. I do recommend the eGo/Riva to new members. It's a much better starter PV that what I had to choose from. The performance of the Darwin in consistency, battery life and flexibility is really a significant leap forward in the technology of vaping. I would hate to revert back to fixed volt, smaller battery PV's.

I must investigate this Darwin further, although I highly doubt it will replace my Go Go, I always like to know more about what is out there. Thank you for the info mw2win.

The Darwin is a high dollar variable voltage PV that has the latest high tech stuff but in the end it still has to use a carto or atty. And they are just as important or more so I think. It has a builtin volt meter and automatically adjusts voltage to maintain a certain wattage. I think they are 230.00 or something like that Nhaler sells them. I had a VV Buzz but it wasn't as good as the Go-Go for me in fact I sold it to get another Go-Go. Lots of people think I was crazy to do that but I like something I can fill up and vape all day without messing with all the time. The Darwin is nice mind you and if I had 250.00 to spend I would probably buy one but that said I would probably enjoy my Go-Go more. The Darwin looks more like a cell phone and has the same type battery. You do have to send it in to change batteries or solder one in yourself. They don't look or seem to work good with the large cartos so you are contantly refilling like with any other small atty or carto. They don't hold a charge much longer than a 1300 mah battery and when they die you don't have another to plug in. Most people charge at night so it isn't a big problem. They are a VV Mod though and would be compared to other VV mods like the Provari.

I read some place that the sweet spot was around 3.7 volts and 2.6 to 3.3 ohm,s that was were the best flavors are at if i find what forum that i had seen it on i will post a link to it.

I think it all depends but all the vv guys think 4.5 v is the sweet spot but it all depends on what resitance ohms your atty or carto your using. So it basically comes down to the watts which is why the Darwin controls the voltage to maintain the same wattage no matter what atty or carto you use. Personally I like a simple long lasting battery with a 3ml carto that has consitant vapor and wicks good all the time.

The Darwin is nice but no juice feed so drip drip drip you have to go, or hang an ugly map tank on the thing, it is a nice unit though I have to say but not for me. Personally for Mods I find juice box mods far superior since they deliver your juice so you dont have to drip, fill a carto, or hang one of those ugly looking maptanks on the thing which dont even come close to an Atty as far as vape is concerned. The Reo Grand, the VV Ali'i, Phidias all have the ability to hold you Batt, juice and Atty of course and are a one stop grab your mod and go vape and deliver a great tasting vape. The other one that is coming in the next month should be the Eclipse, it not only carries your Batt, juice and Atty but it also has a pump to pump the juice to the Atty for you, among some other nice features, this is a super nice mod I have used it and also highly recommend this PV as well (if you can get one) Just my personal opinions of course.!

oops, I think I posted in this thread and it says Ego Specific, sorry my bad, forget the post

The go-go sounds like the perfect propertiery threaded, single option PV on the market, and it has a "GoGo: Very airy draw", outstanding. You can try a new flavor in it, just dump in 3mL and vape, or perhaps buy a Leo kit for the atty experience. The Leo was the end all vape while it lasted.

GO-GO the perfect BetaMax PV!! :facepalm:

It isn't for testing but you can pull out the filler on one carto and drip to test juice if you only have one pv. I've tried alot of different PVs and the Go-Go beats them all for what I want, just fill it up in the morning and you are good for most if not all day.

I was not exaggerating when I stated that the Darwin provides me 21+ hours on a charge. And NO ONE vapes more heavily than I do. It has an 1800 mAh battery but due to how it regulates the power, the battery charge lasts much longer than any other battery on the market. Many Darwin owners are stating they get 30-35 hours on a charge. And the battery alone comes with a full one year warranty and the PV itself has a full two year warranty. I am not aware of any other PV with this level of battery charge or this long of a warranty. It is SO nice never needing to carry extra batteries anymore.

I've been doing this long enough to know that 3.7 volts with 2.6+ ohm atty would not be the "sweet spot" for experienced vapers. 4.5 volts to 5 volts is probably the most "repeated" sweet spot for those who have vaped on a number of different PV's.

So the entire is build on a one of a kind thread carto that uses filler? Filler doesn't seem like a giant leap forward and an "all day battery" PV are a dime a dozen. Can't see the upside of buying an entire kit to try a new improved carto.
