Update LOL I'm now being pulled towards the GOGO from NHALER.Guess its all hit or miss until you find something that works for you best.Thanks for all the info.


I love my GoGo the only (2) CONS, in my book, is you can not direct drip unless you pull apart a carto. Nothing is worse than loading 3ml of juice you hate! If you do not like the way the GoGo hits there is not much you can do to change it. I would say 4 out of 5 people that have hit my GoGo like it.

I have smoked for 25 years as well started with the 510 pen style PV but i found i was always charging bats then went to the eg-t 650 mah was an improvment over the 510 pen style but soon wouldnt stop leaking. I dont work for any e-cig place and i dont want to tell what to buy but in my case I have just bought a mod that uses rechargeable bats the AW 18650 3.7v 2900mAh Battery to be specific it should give you a constant 3.7v everytime until it needs recharged from what i have read. I must say i like the 510 atomiser the best but I use LR (low resistance ones) I am not an expert so do some research on ecf I have always found people here to be a great help.

I don't have a GoGo so can't speak to its superiority over the eGo but one thing I can comment on is the absolute universality of the eGo/510 system. I don't think there is a more versatile system available right now. I also find that the eGo produces a really great vape and with big cartos, it lasts a looong time with minimum fuss. Every vendor on the planet supports 510 PVs with carts, attys, cartos, tanks, mods, batteries etc. Only difference between a 510 and an eGo/Riva/T-rex et al, is the size of the battery BTW. You can use your existing 510 carts and such with the eGo batt and keep your small batteries as a backup. (you may well find this to be a a very nice option to have) You will always be able to find a vendor that has 510/eGo accessories in stock NOW. Not so much with other types. Plus it is the most affordable system going!

I can tell you it is a bad feeling when you lose a battery or need attys or carts RIGHT NOW and find that the one or two vendors carrying your style of PV is out of stock! I had the 4081 style for a couple of months and know this all too well.

Just my $.02

Happy Vaping

If you are looking to order online, I bought my kit from Mad Vapes (one of our registered suppliers here) for $45 but it came with the larger 900 mAh batteries for even longer time before recharging is needed. ( I can go a day and a half of moderate vaping on just one of my batteries) and I know Liberty Flights (another great supplier) has the eGo/Riva kits for $30 with the 20% off coupon code. They both ship very fast their quality is great. Those are just two of the many out there. I know the feeling of the kid in a candy store. So many options with the 510/eGo.

I just took a dive and ordered my very first Ego kit from MadVapes.Was kinda reluctant to get it only because in the description it say's 900 mah battery.One of the reviews said the instruction manual said it was a 650 mah battery.So I called them and asked if it was indeed a 900 mah battery and the lady said yes.So I cant wait to get it and try some of the tank mods.It was the Ego carto kit with carrying case.

Yesterday it reached 99 in middle Ga, but the bank clocks and our Explorer said 104 and 105 at times. The car temp display is always within a degree of what the radio says. My Ego-T tank type B leaked and dumped part of the contents in my pocket and on the car console several times. Heat just makes that happen, it seems. Of course, you get that with a polyfill cart more than you would like, too. Juice just seems to thin and expand with heat.

I like the compact style of the Ego batt and the capacity and taste of the tank attys. I just want to see some refinement in the design so I can fill it, use it, and not have to think about leaks.

Personally, I don't know why your giving up the Fuma. I love mine. The battery lasts 10 hours, I refill the cart with my own flavors, and I get all my supplies for it locally. But if you do give it up, send the battery my way ;)


You must of had gotten one helluva battery cause mine was shot in less then 2 hours.Sorry but I kinda took it apart to see what the inside was like.I was having a Dexter's Laboratory moment lol.

The 510 is nice for social smoking- that is, it looks most like a regular analog- but it does die ridiculously fast. I have one for backup. I got an eGo T and loathed it- nothing but burnt nasty flavor, which was the wick burning. (Ick. I had three T atties and they all burnt, no matter how careful I was.) The three eGo T atties and their tanks ended up getting put into the "in case of apocalypse" drawer, i.e., completely phased out. I also found the eGo T a pain, and it used up juice like whoa only to produce the delightful flavor of burnt sweat sock. And the tanks are messy to switch around and store if they're full- mine was also inclined to have the tank caps stick onto the atty wick, which popped them open when you changed them- resulting in a sticky sticky mess and me picking them carefully out with needle nosed tweezers that are supposed to be used for stringing pearls, not dunking into ejuice.

If you get an eGo T and it is as lousy as mine was (some people do love them- I was definitely not one of those though) you can slap a 510 cartomizer on it. Which is what I did- that and I use it for dripping on the regular eGo atomizer. The eGo battery lasts *much* longer than the regular 510, so I use mine frequently... and the 510 threading means it works with a bazillion things.

I also broke down and bought a Reo mini about a week after the eGo T- that is, about two weeks into switching over to vaping. Best $140ish I ever spent, for sure. Super user friendly. Beween that, the eGo and the 510 for social situations, I'm covered for a long, long time.

If you don't have $$ to spend I'd just get the regular eGo and some cartomizers and an atty with a drip tip. You can clean all of those in some rubbing alcohol repeatedly. If you have a bit more money to spend, and are up for a (smallish) challenge off the bat, a mod is often where people end up- sometimes quickly like I did. If you just want to get your feet wet with a cheap mod, Old Goat sells a plastic bottom feeder (similar design to a Reo) for like $30 or $35.

But, maybe an eGo T would work for you. It didn't for me, but people who like them really seem to like them. Personally I found the Reo much easier to use and far less messy.
