I didn't see it on the list, but if you register there they send you a permanent 10% off code which is VR10. I had to log out and log back in for the coupon to work.
I haven't tried any cinnamon ones yet... I wonder if I would like that... the other flavors you suggested sound awesome!
This is good to know! I am wondering since I have been using VG if it will gum up, but that hasn't happened yet!
Sugar is the killer in atty contamination. 100% VG is not necessarily a problem with the attys I've used. The darker the juice, the more often you need to clean the atty. If you are getting good taste and vapor, keep on vaping.
Drip tips have a large hole at the mouthpiece end compared to a 510 style atty. You just hold it vertical and drip a few drops into the hole, wipe off any that spills on the end and vape. It drops straight through and drains down to the atomizer bridge. It's good system. The 306 atty is a good one for dripping. It screws right onto a 510/Ego thread and works just fine.
Tobacco juice is largely user specific. There is nothing that tastes just like a cigarette and most of us wouldn't want that. Everyone needs to try some of Don's 555 and the other tobacco juices at Backwoods Brew. His are 70/30 vg/pg and are outstanding. Lots of people rave over his Maxboro and Casablance.
my 510 PCC sits in a box since I started using Ego batteries. There's just no reason to spend the money on a PCC when you can buy two Ego batts and vape for 12-16 hours on two batts. I have 3 Ego 650mah batts and always keep them charged. If I'm going to be gone all day, I just fill up 2 or 3 extra tanks for my Ego-T, grab a couple of spare batteries and I'm good for a long day (18-24 hours on three batts). The Ego-T Tanks hold 1.1ml each and three will last me through a day of vaping.

maybe its all the restylane in them....ha ha....maybe i have no nerve endings left in my lips!
I don't know how you can vape the atomic cinnacide and cinnabomb. You must have no feeling left in your lips.
I got my drip tip in the mail and I love it. I have read that some people think dripping is annoying, but I think I don't vape enough for it to be an issue.
I am still undecided if I should get the Ego-T attys and tanks because I like dripping so much. I'm happy with my regular eGo right now, but the batt lasts me almost 2 days of vaping and I have 2 batts. I am thinking the 510 batt would not be an issue with me especially if I have a PCC case. It would be nice to have a smaller batt when I am not at home.
Thank you for your comments.
I placed a big sample order with Vaporite. I have some juices right now but the only one I like is Wicked Vapor Vanilla and I am quickly getting bored of it. Since I started dripping, I do not like using carts anymore. They taste funny now after 1 day of dripping. I am really excited to try more flavors and perhaps went a little overboard...
Flavors I am going to try:
Sample #1: Org_Boysenberry
Sample #2: Org_Cappuccino
Sample #3: Org_Caramel_Cream
Sample #4: Org_English_Toffee
Sample #5: Org_Red_Apple
Sample #6: Org_Strawberry_Shortcake
Select Flavor 1: Org_Honey_Tobacco
Select Flavor 2: Organic_Peach
Select Flavor 3: Organic_VR4
Sample #1: Org_White_Choc_Mac_Nut
Sample #2: Org_Sweet_Cinnamon
Sample #3: Org_Pecan_Praline
Sample #4: Org_Lemon_Drop
Sample #5: Org_Kona_Cream
Sample #6: Org_Chocolate_Almond

I have been using a ego tank for the past month now. I have read several post that talk about the loss of flavor using the ego tank. I have aslo tried cart and atomizers, cartomizers and dripping and with the juice that I use, the flovor with the tank has been as good for me as any of the other methods that I mentioned. I do have some clearomizers ordered and have seen great reviews on the 4th and 5th edition C2E clearomizers. They will work on your ego with or without the cone.
As far as tobacco juices, Backwoods Brew 555 is really good!! but then again I have liked all the flavors I've gotton from Don. I also really like the Dekang 555 from VaporKings. Both of these as very good juices.
I'm saving my pennies now for a mod. Looking at the provari for ProVape.com or the Rubicon VV from leggomyears at wearethekeepers.com

There is so many e-cigarette products! I had never heard of the clearomizers before but they look super cool. I decided that for now, I like dripping with my eGo and am going to just go with that until I figure out what mod I will eventually spring for. I'm pretty curious about the Reo Mini. The provari looks way too technical for me right now... maybe in a few months.
I just placed an order with Backwoods Brew and got: Rootbeer, Waffle, Peach, Carmel Cappuccino, Green Apple, and Casablanca. I'm not off analogs completely, and am thinking this might be because I haven't found the right juice yet. I will have to try 555 if I figure out if I like tobacco juices.
Thanks again for all the comments!
I'm becoming a big fan of the Mega cylinder atties as well. I tried the tank, clearomizers, mega cartos and the standard 510 atties, didn't really care for any of them. I could never really get the hang of dripping with those 510 atties and the carts just don't hold enough juice for me. Dripping is so easy with the Mega atties, even if you flood them, they still hit pretty well. The carts will last a long time before I need to top off as well.
On the topic of spare parts, get a spare charger. I haven't had my first one fail, but if it does I now have a backup. If you go the PCC route it isn't as necessary, but if you have no way to charge your batteries, none of your gear is going to work.

I have 2 usb chargers and then one of those outlet plugs for them. I thought about that at the beginning, but it is still sage advice.
I don't seem to have a problem so far dripping with 510 attys, but how many drops can a mega atty take?
Well, the cart for the mega atty will take 60-80 drops when new. I usually drip 3 drops, but I've also done 5 before. I have no idea what the upper limit is. I know when some of my thinner juice floods the atty from the carts, I just pop on an empty (no filler) cart and vape for a while. And when I say flooded, I mean you can turn the Atty upside down and drip several drops back into the cart.
Out of curiosity, I've just discovered 10 drops is too much. I can still vape it tho, just diminished vapor til it's clear.
My problem with the 510s was 2 drops didn't seem to be enough, 3 drops was too much. I don't know how to drip HALF a drop.
Oh, and I'll credit pkj (Paula) with the spare charger idea. She's the only one I've seen recommend it and I think it's great advice.

I've put 5 drops in the Mega cylinder atty with no problems. Sometimes, heh heh, I'll drip in the atty and fill the cart and go to vaping.
I have to tell you, I went from a eGo to a REO Mini and have never been happier. All of the flavor of dripping with no muss or fuss in a beautifully designed indestructible mod about the size of a Zippo.
I promised myself "No mods until I break even". That's about 3 weeks away, but I'll probably spend another months worth of analogue money on juice, batts and atties before then. At that point, I should be well stocked up and not need to spend any more for a while.
I'm not close to breaking even, but I'm still considering getting a REO mini when they go back on sale this weekend. I am hoping for purple. I do like my eGo, but am really curious about the REO minis.
I used a mega cylinder atty for a long time. It's definitely better than the standard atty and the large juice capacity is a plus.
The Ego-T Tank is a fine system once you get used to filling with a syringe. It's quick and you can fill several carts from one syringe and be done with filling for an entire day. Taste and vapor is great. The wick will sometimes get pushed down too far from inserting carts onto the piercing tube. It's a piece of cake to remove the piercing tube plate and clean and adjust the wick to restore it to like new taste.
I'd recommend anyone with an Ego battery order a LR 306 atty with a drip tip. I use mine all the time for a change of pace from the tank. Taste is outstanding and you can change flavors by dripping new juice into the tip. It only takes a few puffs for the new flavor to shine through. I know there are some purists who only use one flavor per atty to maintain pristine taste, but I don't mind the mix for the first few puffs. Then the taste of the new juice comes through just fine.

Minis are supposed to be for sale 4/5/11, not this weekend. The good news is that there should be plenty of them
This weekend are Woodvils. I have one as my desk vape.
