Other than what's posted, you will constantly be frustrated by long delivery times. Once day, you will look at the first forum page here on ECF (click Forum and go to the bottom part of the page) and discover that their are vendors in your state that can ship the same day you order and USPS will drop it in your mailbox the next day!

There's lots of good reasons to look around for vendors who are close by your area.

I totally found an ecig dealer locally, vapor kings, because of this post. I just didn't even think to look. Thank you!

In one day.....

Done the burnt plastic taste thing
Had the tank leak
Had e juice leak into my mouth
Bought some really expensive awful tasting e juice from a local store

But.....
I am now in hour 4 of not having a cig.
Didn't post here about the burnt plastic thing ! Yay me !
Now have a working Ego C ,yeah with bad tasting e-liquid

I will take it so far.

Maybe not beaten the burnt plastic thing yet.

To be honest I am not certain if it is plastic or just the juice ! Guess I will find out when my 9 bottles get to me hopefully day after tomorrow.

Oh didn't I mention ? I also ordered a couple of 3ml tanks and cardo's that should also be along shortly...my bad should of mentioned that ;p;

I used the eGo-T type A and type B tanks for quite a while. There were lots of leaks with those designs. I finally went to Boge cartomizers, was delighted, and stuck with them.

The eGo-C, OTOH, seems to be a different animal. If you look at the youtube video demos, you see that it is built differently, has small atomizers that you pop a tank onto and it looks promising. I was never unhappy with the eGo-T flavor and vapor. I just got tired of them leaking in my jeans pocket. That has been fixed, according to the users/reviewers.

It was the 5 for $25 atty cost compared to the T cost that was the clincher.

My leaking was probably noob error as now on my 2nd tankful and no issues so far with leaking. I am the same as everyone out there apart from the play factor I want something that works.

Years ago I used to fish a place that had a load of mosquitoes. My cure for that was to smoke a pipe. Little did I know all the toys gadgets and stuff you can get for a pipe. I am thinking of this as a similar experience.

This one will eventually be cheaper. There is that small matter of the tax rebate that is due in a week or two.

Anyone say mod ?

So the morning coffee sitting in the gazebo this morning was my first fail with a cig but 17 hours ain't to shabby.

Definitely cleared the burning taste through changing tank and atty.

Tank still sporadically leaking but I can live with it for the moment.

I bought the cignot Ego C, yep LR atty's and 1000 mAh batteries. The battery is still going. Trying to vape it to death but about 8 hours in and ......... :vapor:

Oh I am going to give a tip. Whom ever you order your ecig with....buy at least 3 e-juices from the same vendor. Order an ecog it get's sent straight away, order juice and hopefully they will make it fresh then send it leaving you juiceless. That or order the juice a couple of days before the cig.

You will get frustrated with the on/off performance of the tanks and spend many hours and much money trying to get them to work consistently. Then like the rest of us you will throw them in the trash and buy some type of cartomizer and live happily ever after.


+1 on this.....Order some 4.5 ml cartos now and a 5ml dual coil tanki or 3 or 4.


Save yourself the anguish of waiting for them to arrive now. You have been warned!!!

Something said to me while trying the Ego T just sank in and am going to give it a try.

When we smoke we have something in our hands to fiddle with. I have found myself doing the same with my Ego and get tank leaks. E-Liq is the same as any other liquid in that when it get's warmer it expands.

Go with me here lol

So I am thinking that I am overfilling the tank and while holding the Ego the heat from my hands is warming the tank therefore........

About to half fill the tank and see if that holds true. Sounds like a plan. That or they just leak for the fun of it.

Also realize that quitting the cancer sticks is easier for some with pvs compared to others. I have seen on here some people like myself quite after a day or two and never look back(I have had an unopened pack of smokes in my desk since the beginning of September and have not once thought of opening them), while others it is a more slow and gradual process. Don't get down on yourself if you decide you need an analog, just work to cutting down till you feel ready to give them up completely. There will come a time when you realize that they taste foul and smell foul compared to vapor.
Good Luck
