I was wondering if someone can explain the difference in the different Egos. I've seen type A, type B, type C & T.

What's the difference in the different Ego's?

I don't know about the type a & b, but I asked the same question a few days ago.
T is for tank, and the C is for changeable. It's newer than the T. I was told the parts are cheaper and easier to replace than the T, and that it has improved safety over the T as well. I'm sure someone will come along abd be more in depth than I'm able to be, but I hope that helps in the mean time.

Okay, here's the skinny: Ego's are a specific brand of 510 devices put out by Joytech, though there's all sorts of knock-offs. The different letters refer to different characteristics. The Ego-C has a 2-piece atomizer, which makes replacing them cheaper. The Ego-T is a tank system: this means that rather than using a cartridge and atomizer, or a carto, it comes with a tank. Type A and B are types of Ego-T; B has a larger tank than A. They all have a 650mahm battery and reliably fire at around 3.2-3.4 volts. There's also the Ego's that have larger batteries: the Ego-W and Ego-twist. These have, I think, 1060mahm batteries. The W has a special tank-like cartridge and I think it fires at 3.7, though i could be wrong. The twist is what's known as a variable-voltage device(vv). That means that you determine what voltage it fires at. Confused yet, lol?
Some explanations: mahm refers to battery size. The larger the mahm, the longer between recharges. Volts are the amount of electricity that the device puts out. The reason you care about voltages is that it determines what size atomizers and/or cartomizers you need to use. These are measured in ohms. There are discussion threads in this forum talking about these things.
Finally, all Ego's are what we call 510 devices. This simply means that they use 510 threads. This is important because it tells you what attys (atomizers? or cartos (cartomizers) to get.

OK, here is my take on it.
The eGo battery has a raised 510 connection and threading that takes 510 cartomizers with the eGo skirt, that hides the threading. (All other 510 cartos can also fit, there are also cones that screws on the raised threads to hide the carto).
The eGo-T battery (T for tank. There is a type A and B of the 'tank') came out with the eGo tank and atty. It has a 5 click on and off feature. It can fit any 510 cartos, eGo tank, and eGo cartos.
The eGo-C battery came out with the Vision Stardust Clearomizer and has an extra safety feature, but otherwise does the same as the eGo-T battery. More advanced generation.
Then there are two eGo VV (variable voltage) batteries. The VV LED (which has no 5 click on/off) and the latest VV Twist (which does).
All the above batteries come in 650, 900, and 1000 mAh and can be used and interchanged with any 510 cartomizers or eGo (with skirt) cartomizers or tanks.
Look here for a chart comparison.The new Twist is not yet on that chart.
Hope this helps.
Great chart! I like that they include voltages. One of the things that irritates me is that most vendors leave voltages out of their product description. That's one of the most important criteria, imho.
This helps tremendously! There is so much info out there and it's hard to keep it all straight. I think I should just stick with one right now, lol.
That's what I did. Figure out what your wants and needs are and go from there. I love my E-power, btw
