I agree with that one.
I'd be nice if the poor guy could get his pv to work until he gets some. I'd be crying right now if it was me.
I disagree. It is a significant enough difference plus a smaller battery. He hasn't bought either, yet. Why get the lesser option when you can get a better option? Makes no sense. And there are many better VV and VW models than the lavatube which is having some issues.
I agree with that. I feel the need to get someone to think twice before purchasing based on my own experiences but that doesn't help someone who has one and can't get it to work. I always try to offer something more to them other than buy some cartos or get a mod. Although I usually suggest a carto when they place their next order to have something as a backup just in case it happens again but it's a cure in two days rather than a solution right now. I couldn't find a solution.
So I smoked.
It's the same with everything. Some people have one thing and it needs to work for the next couple of days, or longer if they don't have the income, even if it's time for something else.
Tell me why I shouldn't get an eGo-c...tanks leak, inconsistent vapor, and too mild a flavor...at least for me.
I recommend a Reo Grand. Can be vaped at 3.7V, 4.8V, or even 6V. Bottom feeder so no need to carry around bottles of juice. All mechanical so no electrical failures to worry about.

I bought an eGo case. They're available all over the place, but I found a good price on Amazon/CueCig. It's great. Fits two 650 mah batteries, and has little mesh compartments that hold a couple 5 mil bottles of juice and a couple of cartos. I didn't want my batteries getting all dinged up riding around in my purse!
For my next kit I'm going with the kgo.. from watching the youtube vids and reading reviews I think ill prefer it more than the ego C
My experience with ego is not good - I first got a T, which was finicky to say the least - I tried silicone caps, different atomizers, filling different amounts, right side up / upside down etc. I got sick of burnt plasticky hits and leaks at the other extreme. Used Boge LR cartos which were much better, tried a liquinator tank that vapes awesome but is a major pain to refill. Heard that the ego C had fixed all the problems and like a fool bought one! If possible it is even worse - right from the pack - every tank leaks. Same plasticky hits going on as well. I will say that they are very well made, and the ease at taking apart the atty is great (and you’re going to need that feature...) - they just suffer from an inherently bad design. The batteries are excellent so I don’t feel like I wasted all my money - plus they fit all sorts of other stuff. I have only ever used Halo juice in them (which is fantastic - highly recommend it). I got into vaping to give up smoking, not start tinkering with stuff that just isn’t ready for prime time - I wish I could find something that JUST WORKS, but the ego T/C isn’t it for me :-(
I'm brand new to e-cigs. Been a 1 pad smoker for some 28 years (minus a 7-year stint as a non-smoker - I know, stupid starting up again).
I just bought an eGo-C a couple of days ago, and I have to say it has been flawless for me. After two full days of use, the 650mAH battery still reports over 50% charge remaining. I am on my 3rd tank trying different flavors, and I have not noticed any leakage. It did seem natural to continue to draw for a second or so after releasing the button, both to evacuate all the vapor and to keep the atomizer "primed". I typically draw vapor into my mouth for a couple seconds and then inhale for a second after releasing the button, before removing it from my mouth.
All in all, I'm quite impressed with the eGo-C, although I do admit I have a very limited frame of reference.

I recently got an eGo-C and while an improvement over the eGo-T (less leaking, easier to clean/blow out atomizer) it is still not as convenient as cartomizers. There will be times the draw is hard and that means you'll have to take the cone/atomizer apart and clean things out. It's not that big of a deal, but if you don't want to deal with that cartomizers are your best bet. I have been using both.
All this talk of muted flavors. I haven't had that experience. Most of the juices I've tired in both a 2.0ohm Boge Carto and tank taste about the same. It might be that those with muted flavors are having wicking issues?
I take my eGo-C with me on the go. I'll have a full tank on it, one full one as a backup and two filled Boge cartos with an extra batter in my eGo carry case. Good to go for the day and them some.
Be warned that all cartos are not created equal. I've had my share of frustration with them as well including leaking and or burnt taste because of wicking problems.

I use an Ego-T battery with 1.7 cartomizers. It's a good combo. It gives a nice hit.
Because the eGo, while a lower voltage, is at least a regulated voltage. (one of the main reasons people keep suggesting VV's)
Some people will like a 3.4v device, and some won't. It's as simple as that.
I keep catching my kid running her expensive VV at 3.4-3.5v, and ask her why didn't she just get an eGo.

The vast majority of models are 3.7 volt or higher. Some people like colder vaper and weaker throat hit but from reading thousands of posts, a large part of the vaping community like warmer vapor and throat hit more similar to smoking. And then there is the bigger mAh sized, longer lasting batteries that come "standard" on the Kgo and E-Power.

Hey... I see your getting a lot of input on this subject. Well here's my 2 cents. I first started with the FS ego from mypvshop and i liked it. That got me off the smokes, and I haven't had one since. That was almost 2 months ago. When I first got the set up it came with a cart/atty setup but i had ordered some cartos (low res) but my friend had ordered me some all so and I thought they were low res also and i thought they were ok got me off the cigs right? Well looking at the package I saw they were standard so I took one of the Low res I had ordered and filled it up and gave it a go. WOW! Big difference. I then ordered an EGO t and put the low res on it. I loved it.
Now all I use is my ego t batt with a LR carto. I did make a tiny tank out of a 5 ml bottle so I don't have to fill but once a day. IT's small and I can carry it in my pocket. It's all I use.

Picked up an Ego-C with 900mah batt's over the weekend.. less fuss/muss than that my LEA. No 'leaking' problems.. and despite some others claims, no problems vaping a 100% VG juice either. The vendor I use, takes the time to walk with you..demonstrate it's use. Filling the tanks, priming etc... I'm inclined, as mentioned in other threads...that much depends on how you're using a particular device. I haven't messed with higher voltage yet, figure I'll try to build my own mod and explore that aspect with it... but for the price of the 'kit' and what it includes, it's not a bad choice at all.
I like 3.4v with my 2.0 LR cartos. Yes, you get a cold vape at 3.4v with standard resistance attys and tanks, but that's just a matter of matching the battery and the atty resistance to suit your own taste. 3.7v batteries deliver more current at the outset, but tend to drain faster than a regulated eGo because they are constantly producing more current on the same atty resistance.
The regulation in the eGo keeps the vape at the same level throughout the charge life, so you get a consistent vape until just before the LED flashes. Match the atty/carto with your preference and life is good.

Not everyone is as lucky as us. Nik just flat-out rocks. I went and picked up my order at 6:00 on Sunday night... Where else can you get that service ?
You may not like that the wicks don't last long and I wouldn't use a high voltage with them either . When they say the wicks are disposable they mean it . If you can get a week out of one wick your lucky .
I sincerely hope that everyone endorsing the ego-C and encouraging others to get them will at least stick around and help those people that are having trouble with them. People are purchasing these things based on some of the endorsements posted here and when someone has a problem all I hear are crickets or someone telling them to get cartos.
I agree with the carto part, but it doesn't help the person that just purchased the kit and tries to get it to work on the weekend or until a carto shipment arrives.
