Been checking out all the posts on seems like hundreds of websites recommending this high-dollar e-cig or another. Stupidly bought one of the "high-dollar" e-cigs. Don't waste your money. My cheapo E cig that I can refill cartomizers (never worry about one burning up because they're so cheap) work great, smoke great, taste great, and produce way more "smoke" than the high-dollar, high maintenance piece of hype that I wasted $70 on. My advice to newbies, save your money, refill cartos--I've yet to have one burn out, takes about 5 minutes to refill 10, and 1 lasts all day. Will see how long this post stays up.

That's a decent setup but the twist is really the best ego IMO. I like tanks but there are def better options out there. You should have posted a question on this forum before buying theres a lot of great people with great advice and I think most would .have steered you into another direction than the ego-t kit. Sorry it didn't work out for you btw but don't give up hope there are a lot of really great things over $70 and just as much under $70. You should look into a carto tank setup if you like cartos so far it will give you more vape time between fill ups. And an ego twist will run most ohm's pretty well and can be done for under $50 if you do some searching.

You spent $70 on a eGo twist? Please tell me you at least got 2 and a kit for that price, which is still $20 more than I spent on my twist kit. Sorry, you got hosed. Take MY advice & don't spend any more of your money without doing more research & finding a vapers group or brick & mortar store where you can try before you buy.

But in any case, if you've got something that works, no problem with that either. Anything that keeps you off the analogs is a good thing!

eGo-T costs $70??????????

Thats new.

Thats not "wasting money on high end stuff". You got DUPED, dude.

Its true that there is some hype going on that people shouldnt buy into, but there is a reason why the high end market exists - there are people who know their stuff, understand the mechanics of their devices and can justify their money. More than i can say for your case, unfortunately...

And also, eGo-T is nowhere near "high-dollar". It is a mid-tier at the most, may be even a low-end. Sorry for your loss bro, but dont let it discourage you from trying something different. And CERTAINLY dont let it discourage OTHER newbies from trying their hands.

Here's the info-- 3 Green Smoke batteries $60--Starter kit (charger, 5 cartos, 1 more battery) $60. Granted, 1 battery won't last all day if your a vapor fiend, but 4 definitely will. My "beef" is "supposedly" the more expensive e cigs are better--in my opinion they're not. Got both. My cheapy smokes way better than the high dollar one, if a carto burns out it's $3. Do the math. I'm not wasting anymore $$ trying to find something that might be better than something that works just fine.

Seems to me you've already made your mind up and are not going to listen to the advice people are giving.

You stick to your 'cheapy' and I'll sit back, relax (while I'm sat here at work) and vape on my Ego T with Vivi Nova Mini.

Well, maybe if your approach was coming online first, and asking for experienced vapers to give advice and the pros and cons of different systems, you wouldn't have wasted your money.

Really, I read the first post as trying to imply that ecf is here to fool people into buying inferior products for high prices.

Particularly the "how long before they take this post down" comment.

There are good people on here that have years of experience and will try to steer you in the best direction, but you need to approach it in that manner. Not coming on saying your green smokes are the pinnacle of all vaping and everything else is a waste, when it sounds like you have tried a total of 2 systems.

Edit - but having said that - if you found what works for you, great. Stick with it. No one will be upset if you decide to stick with that.

    :p Lol, I wish. I remember coming here after getting my first 650 ego and raving that it lasted 2.5 days, lol. Now, it's more like 2.5 egos per day. :)

    Dude, I have a life--Sorry if I have better things to do then calculating the most optimum vaping device

    Good luck in your life getting duped out of your money. I will go back to carefully calculating and live financially comfortable.

    Thats not having better things to do, thats called not being smart and not staying informed.

    I understand the mentality of trying to save some face, and i hate to be rude on this extremely polite forum, but thats just sad.
