Try a G6 / Volt, or stay with my Ego-T?

I've been tinkering with different PV's for a couple years now, and have a healthy collection of everything from generic 401's, 510's, regular Ego's, a Prodigy V3, a GLV 2, and now, the Ego-T with LR attys.

So far, the Ego-T is the first PV I've used that I've found to be truly convenient. With all of the carto-based PV's I've used, I felt like I needed to carry around a mini ...... kit so I could top off cartos throughout the day.

I recently stumbled on Halo liquid, and absolutely adore it. So naturally, the G6 has been calling to me. The reviews seem universally positive, but, I'm having a hard time putting them in to perspective. So, I was hoping someone with an Ego-T or other feeder mod could help me out.

If I go the G6 / Volt / Bloog Maxx route with a PCC, am I signing myself up for needing to carry around liquid (or a handful of cartos that need to be topped off each morning)? Am I really gaining much in terms of flavor, versus the LR atty on the Ego-T?

I'd appreciate any input you might have.

Twinkie, I'm reading this post scratching my head wondering why you don't put that Prodigy of yours to better use. Slap one of these on it and you have a vaping monster and won't need to carry around juice bottles.

Another awesome carto to use is the eGo Mega Dual Coil with a 510/ego adapter. With one of these loaded, you would probably have enough juice in that carto to last 2 days. They hold roughly 4.2mls.

Ego Adapter - assuming your top cap on your Prodigy is a 510

With any of the smaller ecig sized PV's, you'll have to either carry a bottle of juice or extra carto's.

The problem I've run in to with the Prodigy (and the GLV to a lesser extent) is that in day-long use, the vapor scorches the top of my tongue.

There's also the matter of carrying around packs of batteries, which is less convenient (though cleaner) than carrying liquid around.

I'm okay with carrying around an extra carto or two, as long as I can make it through the day without needing to top off.

If you want an analog cigarette-sized PV, get the "G6 / Volt / Bloog Maxx." [They are virtually identical. The Volt is the least expensive.] If you are out and about a lot, you'll need a PCC for it (to charge the relatively low-mAh batts) ... but you won't need to cart around a lot of e-liquid. That PCC also holds two cartomizers, which should get you through the day in addition to the one on the battery you're vaping. [NOTE: The fairly new Mega Battery Charging Case charges two batts simultaneously and holds six cartomizers.]

If you are open to something just a little bit larger (but more slender than an eGo-type fat batt), consider my current favorite PV (also a Kr8-compatible): the cigarillo-sized Elite 808, which I just reviewed. Its 2ml-capacity cartomizer holds about the same amount of e-liquid as an eGo-T Type B tank (and twice as much as Type A).

BTW, I also have the eGo-T. Never use it with tanks, however. Only with Smok Tech Mega/XL Dual Coil and, especially, Smok Tech 1.7 ohm Mega Single Coil ("Resurrector") cartomizers ... or with Elite cartos (using a 510-to-808/901 adapter). Those Smok Tech Mega's also hold ~2ml of juice. [The eGo mega Mega's aka XXL hold 3+ml.] All of these would also work great on your Prodigy and GLV (at 3.7V).

The biggest reason I'm siding with the G6 is because I like their juice. Doing a side-by-side with the Volt, it looked like I'd lose out on a pass-thru for the same price, but more importantly, they're out of blank cartos. (Or at least, they were yesterday.)

As for the big PCC, I really love the idea, but the reviews I've seen all seem to suggest that it's an okay storage solution, but awful PCC.

Now that's kind of interesting. I'm really more interested in performance than size.

If I can hang out with a purple sparkle GLV without shame, size / form isn't the most important to me. It's just that the 510 cartos I've used don't seem to hit like the eGo-T. Using regular cartos at 5V / 6V is too hot, using them at 3.7V is too inefficient, and using LR 510 cartos seems to lack the flavor I'm looking for.

BTW, I also have the eGo-T. Never use it with tanks, however. Only with Smok Tech Mega/XL Dual Coil and, especially, Smok Tech 1.7 ohm Mega Single Coil ("Resurrector") cartomizers ... or with Elite cartos (using a 510-to-808/901 adapter).

Hmmm....

I've tried out the HealthCabin 1.5 dual-coil 510 cartos without much success, but that's also given me a lot to think about. Thanks!

I use a G6 for 3 days now. Have been satisfied with it.
But today, I went to a vapor shop and tried a joye. I'm not too sure which specific models it is but it looks something like this. JOYE eGo-T

it's much bigger than my halo G6 but it does give a lot more vape. Less effort to vape.
I thought that the more volt on battery means the less energy I need to suck, more vapor, etc

I found out that ego T and Halo G6 gives about 3.4 volt.

If they give the same amount of volt, why am I feeling that the ego gives more vapor?
Am I missing something?

Now, I couldn't stop thinking about her. :(
