the difference between a 2 piece and 3 piece ecig

[JMC]

Whats the difference. If you use an atty with a cartridge w/ battery is that considered a 3 piece, or a cartomizer with just the battery,a 2 piece? I'm confused when I saw I think at the bloog? site they said theirs were a two piece design. Is that because your using cartomizers only? I have a riva 510 1100mah manual and use both carts and cartos and still deciding if this is the one for me. Sometimes it works, times not. I tried the automatic with an off brand which was not at all very well working because it took carts only with a very small cup for refills, ugh! But I liked the fact it felt more like analogs. I would like to find one simular like that one only can hold more liquid. And in all the confusion on deciding I saw the GO GO and got excited and now just got it and is still setting on the shelf unopened cause I am in disbelief how hugh it is compared to the riva and am scared to death of it. I don't even have enough practice refilling my cartos with my rivas yet, much less these hugh cartos I ordered with the GO GO. I'm all over the place are'nt I? I watch all the videos I can and read ecf for hours but am confused on how to do things cause I don't know what to do with the drip tips I have and if they are the right size, what are needles for etc. What else do I need? I have a hugh 2 ohm dual coil carto with a pipe tip for my riva I don't know how to fill. I need to start over and get my instructions in order from scratch. Or just stop all this madness and try something new. I know, am a nut in a panic.

You are exactly correct. A two piece uses a battery and cartomizer, that's it. A three piece uses a battery, atomizer and cartridge. In the old days of ecigs (a year or two ago), you had the option of buying a three piece such as a 510, 4081, 401, 901 or 801 that was only available with and atomizer and cartridge. Or you could buy a KR808D-1 with cartomizers only. Now there are cartomizers for nearly all of them, making the two-piece and three-piece designations relevant only to the initial purchase.

It can be frustrating to find the right combination. Try some of the other cartos out there such as the CE2s and dual coils to see if they work for you. The Bloog is a good choice and Smokeless Image has a similar model at a competitive price as well.

My little sister uses an ego, and she really likes the dual coil cartomizers. They're lower resistance than others, and she gets more flavor and vapor. Be warned, though, that it could cut down the battery life, both time between charges and total lifespan of the battery. They draw more power than it was really designed for, and that will cause damage over time. She thinks it's worth it.

I just decided to go with something that could handle it.
