Stick with eGo tank or try cartos?

[Schizoid]

I've had my eGo-t for a couple of weeks now. There are thinks I like about it and things I don't.

Positives:
1. Easy to fill.
2. Holds a nice amount of juice.
3. Tips are cheap.

Negatives:
1. Vapor production is inconsistent.
2. Sometimes leaks if the tip loosens.
3. Tip sometimes floods. (= lots of juice in the mouth)
4. The atomizers are somewhat expensive. Especially if the don't last long.

Since I've never tried cartos I don't know what to expect. Can anyone give me the low down? Which ones are the longest lasting and most reliable?

Thanks!

I feel the same way you do. When the tank works, I love it but it's too inconsistant.

I like cartomizers. I use Boge 2.0 cartomizers. CrystalVaping (not sure if I have the name right) is having a sale on cartos now. I'll see if I can find the link.

Cartos are nice for on the go use.

Cartos are nice on an eGo. I use the BOGE 2.0 and they're really nice. I think it's better than the tanks. I think there's much more flavor, and a better, warmer hit. Even if you like the tank, it can't hurt to try something new. I recommend cartos.

 

[seelezerkleiner]

Try them! If you don't like them youre only out $6.00-$10.00. They are super convenient.

 

[Schizoid]

Sorry, 2 more questions...
Do they hold a comparable amount of liquid (as the tank)?
Can they be cleaned or do you use them for a week or so and trash them?

 

[swedishfish]

They're disposable. You can refill them quit a few times and some people even wash them but they're made to be disposable. I think the Boge hold about 1 ml of juice. I think the tank holds more, but I seem to go through less juice with cartos because the tanks seem to be a bit of a juice hog.

I fill about 3-4 and when I'm not getting a lot of flavor, I replace it with another one. At the end of the night I just fill refill them. Just make sure not to vape them dry. It'll taste nasty and it burns them.

I have the tank system and I think you'll find the larger B types more consistent than the earlier A types. That said, I think people who can afford it to try a lot of things including cartos. I'm trying out the Bloog right now and it's a good vape. Not as much vapor as the tank but still good flavor and decent vapor for a carto.

I tried the eGO tank system and did not like it. Vapor was inconsistent, a little too cool, and the tanks imparted some sort of a plastic-like taste. I went back to cartos...the Joye 510 cartos. While they don't hold as much, I find the taste much better. I just make sure that as soon as the vapor or flavor drops off I refill. After tearing one apart and examining it, I no longer use the syringe method. Just drip drops through the battery end. Works for me. They need to work on the tank system before I'll try it again.

I have recently switched to cartos and couldnt be happier

I use E-go or riva batteries with my Tank and my cartos. My only problem with the tank is that it seems to take away from my throat kick. I used a tank for 2 weeks straight after being a carto guy for years. I loved the tank, but when I threaded my carto back on once I ran out of tank tips, I vowed never to go back to the tank. Yes it may hold a little more liquid, but the consistency and throat kick from the carto is much better. Plus I could buy two 5 packs of cartos for 8.99 a piece and those will last me forever, as a tank may cost around 16 bucks just for the atty.

hope this helps.

I noticed the plastic taste on a set of clear tanks I bought...I ended up having to boil them to get rid of that taste. The black ones however tasted fine?

 

[MickeyRat]

I found that I liked cartos better than the tank. That said, I just got a LR tank atomizer. That's actually pretty good. You might try it. Goes through juice an batteries though.

There's a pretty lengthy thread on the EGo-T versus the Go-Go that you might find interesting.

Long lasting BLANK cartos, try Ikenvape 510 Gold V2 (2.5 ohms), not cheap but last longer than others. The best match blank cartos for eGo is the Boge 510 low resistance with soft tip at 2.0 ohms (good price at LiteCigUsa). To keep the carto from drying out on top, I use a top feeder, VapeMate, from SuperTmanufacturing. Top Feeder ( can be used with cartomizers or atomizers)

The Vapemate seems like a nice idea, but I don't know about having a bottle hooked to the side of my unit when I'm on the go. Is it a very small bottle?

I just started using carts and I really like the low resistance ones from ivape.net,

 

[Schizoid]

i get my tanks at stormysvaporcellar.com they hold a good amount of fluid and dont leak

That site has been down for a while. I'm looking forward to trying them. MAP tanks are too expensive to try.
