Can anyone please explain to me why there are so many companies that sell the e Go-C and the e Go-T? It looks like the e Go name isn't trademarked by a certain company. Is that correct? After extensive searching the past few days, I feel pretty confident that my next investment will probably be the e Go-C! With that being said I see different companies selling the e Go-C. I think I found joyetech, Janty, and Ovale.

So I guess my question is, who was the first company to produce this product and how are all these other companies able to produce the same product with the same name? This is very confusing! Also which companies e Go-C is better?

The bottom line here is I just want to make the correct purchase. I want a quality product with a good battery that is able to deliver huge vapor and strong TH! I have already sunk close to $200 in crappy products (Blu Starter kit, Apollo Extreme Starter)! Both of these products are terrible and not to mention my bank card info was hacked while using Apollo's checkout (.......s got me for $100)!

I know there are a lot of varying opinions out there, about what products the best and where to buy from, so if anyone out there can answer these questions, then maybe my headache can start to go away!

Also after being hacked, I am extremely concerned with the websites security that I would be purchasing from! Any recommendations on that as well would be welcomed!

Thanks

You are safe with any of the Forum Suppliers listed above. GoodProphets.com and cignot.com are both on my favorites list for good prices, super fast shipping, and excellent service, but shop around and others will recommend different kits. All the Ego-Cs labeled as such are made by Joye.

Ego-Cs are not known for a huge throat hit, even with a LR (low resistance) one. The tank mutes the flavor and cools the vapor a bit, but it does produce volumes of vapor depending on your ejuice. Tanks are good for the convenience (if they don't leak, etc) not necessarily for their great vaping. Rest assured though, you can use the eGo batteries with any 510/306 atomizer and cartomizer if you want to try other things later.

Welcome to the forum and good luck shopping.

Edit: Never mind about GoodProphets. He doesn't seem to have eGo-Cs in stock.

I purchased the Smok Tech EGO LR kit with 1.25ohm Dual coils from Hoosier and have been very happy with it and the cost as well. Sorry about your bad experience. I was lucky and wandered in here a few hours after ordering a "kit" I now know I would not have been happy with. Luckily the company returned my money after I sent it back to them the same day it arrived.:toast:

Also forgot to mention Brent mailed it out the same day and it arrived two days later!

Janty is the inventor of the tank stuff, Joye aka Joyetech is the manufacturer, and I don't know what Ovale is but I think they are selling real relabeled Joyetech judging by how quickly they were selling them after release.

Other than that don't trust anything any shop just calls Ego-anything and doesn't say is Joye/Joyetech or Janty because there are clone Egos.

I would get a Riva Ego from either Liberty Flights or from Sweet-Vapes both have a good deal on Rivas with cartomizers. Another good option would be a KGO- carried at Hoosier or BreezeSmokes.

I would try the tanks at a later date. Start off with the cartomizers. Tanks are not without their share of problems and better tackled by someone that's been vaping for awhile.

Does anyone have a pic of their e Go-C or T with a cartomizer on it? Maybe it's just because I have never held one in my hand or physically seen one, but how do you use a cartomizer on that type of Rig? I can't seem to find any pictures of someone using a cartomizer instead of the tank!

I didn't even realize that was an option with this device! Just curious to see how that all goes together!

Thanks

Contact your bank and dispute the charges. It may take awhile but you should be able to recover it.

As for the tank system, I didn't have any luck but it does work for some folks.

A simple setup is as follows:
Either of the following kits...KGO from hoosierecigsupply.com, eGo or Riva lite bundle from liberty-flights.com
A couple boxes of Boge 2ohm cartomizers or dual coil cartomizers...or one of each to try out
A drip tip or 2 if you don't already have them
A couple extra low resistance atomizers to use for either dripping or testing flavors.

I couldn't find a picture through the internets so I took one of what I'm using now (Ego-C battery with Smok Tech dual coil low resistance cartomizer).
This thing is awesome and only cost a few bucks. I paid $9 but found out after I got it that I could have gotten it at other vendors for about $3.

And yes, it is bigger than the battery.

How do you use it? just like any other cartomizer. This thing has a huge mouth piece so you don't have any vapor flow issues.

Good Stuff! That's exactly what I've been looking for! Now you guys got me looking at that Kgo Rig! Looks pretty sweet!

Let me ask you guys this. I know everyone's opinion is going to be different, but do you prefer the vape with a tank system or a cartomizer? Like I said before, I'm interested in great vapor, great TH, great battery life, and I dont want to have to carry all kind of carts around with me all day. It turns out that I'm a pretty heavy vapor!

Also what is this drip tip thing? I'm sure I could search it but while were on the subject, I figured I ask.

As far as my bank card getting hacked, I did talk to my bank and they are going to reimburse me. I learned a very valuable lesson from this experience. So take my advice and be careful who or where you give your info too!!!!

One more quick question.

Obviously I now know that I could purchase an e-Go-C and pull the tank and use a cartomizer. If I purchased the Kgo, can I use a tank/atty instead of a cartomizer?

If you want but you might as well just order the Ego-C then. My second kit was Ego-T and hated the burnt taste I kept getting. Switched to cartos and havent looked back yet. I just highly recomend using syringes filling them the first time. Actually that kgO kit jtracc posted is pretty good for the price.
