Who makes a CONSISTENT ecig?

[woody1]

I have an ego-t, fiber setup and tank setup. Both of them are garbage if we are looking at consistency, the tank setup leaks something horrendous and yes I have the rubber caps on, not the plastic. Its not consistent, sometimes real raw hits, others pretty smooth. The amount of draw is entirely inconsistent, sometimes very hard other times not so hard, just depends how much leaks into the atty and covered in juice it is. Here is the real question

Who has come up with a consistent delivery method that does NOT resemble a big cig box with a pipe coming out of it.? This industry is lacking something fierce with regards to consistency. Cigarettes are deadly consistent, the more tinkering you have folks do, the more drawn to a cigarette they will be. So who has the good product that is simply not a rebranded, repackaged 510 or ego?

Thanks

I haven't owned one, but word around the forums seems to be that certain ego tank models have problems and others work much better. I'm sure someone will come along soon to give you exact models.

Hey woody. I can sense your frustration, and re: tank systems, it's warranted. Collectively, it's pretty much agreed that they are lacking. Dry hits, burnt hits, sometimes good, sometimes terrible. It's mostly wicking problems inherent to the system.

If you're looking for consistency, there are many "mods" out there that are well reviewed. A step further would be a mechanical mod, i.e. - bulletproof reliability because there are no switches to burn out, no controller chips that could fry, etc.

I personally use a Prodigy, which you can find here. Both the Prodigy and the Icon (it's smaller brethren) are reliable mods and are very consistent with regards to performance. Even more "consistent" would be a regulated mod, like the Darwin, Provari, or other VV mod. They have controller chips which ensure that every hit is as good as the last by ensuring the proper voltage is provided with every button fire. Consistency can be construed in many different ways with regards to power, as you can see.

With regards to "delivery systems", cartos (cartomizers) seem to be generally regarded as a great solution, especially for people frustrated with tanks, cartridges, etc. I don't know if by "fiber system" you meant cartos, btw, but they need to be filled properly to ensure they don't burn. Anyway, they also have a "useable life", so they are meant to be replaced, but for their respective cycles, they perform very well. I've had great luck with both Boge & Smok brand cartos. To extend the life of a carto even more, and ensure that they are at peak performance, a tank like this or this are also great options. Juice is constantly fed to the carto, and every vape is full and flavorful without the hassles of refilling the carto too often.

Another thing a lot of people do is "drip". Dripping directly onto an atomizer like this arguably leads to the best taste/vapor/throat hit with most juices. It is a lot more proactive since you have to drip every 5-10 hits, but if you're looking for unadulterated juice-on-coil action and purity of vape, dripping is pretty much the answer.

Sorry for that diatribe, but I know how frustrating it can be when your gear isn't performing to your own standards. Hopefully we can get you back on track though. Report back!

A cartomizer in a carto tank is the most consistant all day vape. The nice thing about the carto tank is that you can match the carto you put in it to any mod/bat you choose to use.
1.7 & 2ohm cartos work really well on that eGo bat that you have.

sorry to be of no help here but i'm using an Arry tank. Its uses a CE2 XL core and i bet many will tell u to stay away from it. For me, it has been giving me very consistent vape. Extremely well flavor and cool vape but mild throat hit.
(i'm on green apple cool mint menthol flavor 14mg 50%pg/50%vg) i dun like too harsh a throat hit as i'm a previous menthol light smoker (Next Chill Menthol. very very smooth cold smoke).
The CE2 was not performing very well untill i did a tiny bit of tinkering on it.
Theres this rubber cap on top of the CE2 XL with 2 slots for the wick and all i did was cutting a bigger 'V' slot and now it wicks perfectly unless i chain vape too fast. The rubber cap top also has to be in with the CE2 while inserting into the arry tank and thus preventing leaks.
Just my config for my consistent vape.
(arry tank has since gone on both lavatube and provari and i've been in vape heaven).
So i guess everyone's config for consistency is different and i guess experience plays a part in dealing with any pv.
Good luck and don't give up just yet.
Vape on!!

I got no time for dripping honestly, I need simple, like a cigarette, nothing simpler than a real cigarette. Having to play around with what seems like cheap chinese junk is not my idea of fun lol. You must not give a single reason to a new non smoker. Whats the downside here

Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer, 3.5ml

 

[BiffRocko]

I'd second Brian's recommendation of a Prodigy or Icon for a good mechanical mod. Just got my Icon. So far it's the most solid PV I've owned. Fantastic build quality.

Ohhh, now that's not fair! Have faith in the technology, it's lightyears, and I mean LIGHTYEARS ahead of where it was when e-cigs became popular in the US really not all that long ago. Back then it seemed like only the truly enterprising and adventurous took to modding or even refilling their own cartos.Variable Voltage is a step in the direction of consistency, the buzzpro is getting pretty rave reviews for that. Otherwise just hang in there man, it'll come before too long.

 

[tj99959]

Whats the downside here

On your eGo, the down side is dual coil!
If you happen to have a BuzzPro laying around, there is no down side.
There are plenty of carto tanks and cartos that work well on your eGo .... why choose one that doesn't?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Mega or XL cartos are prolly best to start with IMHO. Takes lots of juice and no leaks IMHO. In regards to consistency Mods are generally extremely consistent and reliable although, as stated, that's not what you're looking for.
Good Luck, Vapoor.

My try an HS Echo-E carto for your Ego. My Echo carts are simple, leakproof, and smooth. The Echo-E cartos fit right on the Ego, hold about 2-2/12 ml, and I hear work realy wonderfully on the Ego. Just a thought.

Forgot about those! Good call LM. That's another option, the mega cartos from Smok, Joye, & others. They hold 3-5ml of juice (some even more) and will need less refilling. If there's a "downside" to the carto tanks, it's that they are somewhat less "pocketable", but I think the pros outweigh the cons. And yes, the low resistance of the dual coil cartos is potentially a problem with your eGo battery, as it *may* fry them. Half the vapers say it works great, half have had bad luck. This is moot if you go with (most) of the mods out there.

Try a LR carto with a cheap carto tank on your ego to see if you like it. If you do step up to a bigger tube mod. If you dont check out a bottomfeeder box mod which are very convenient to use. VMod came out with an 18650 model. Also look at a hybrid tube mod if you like the tank with rebuildable atty coil. I really didnt like the look of the box mods either untill I tryed one with a bottomfeeder and it is my most used mod now its so simple to use and maintain. Good luck in your search.

 

[brianishiwa]

Btw, all of these Chibi tanks will work great on your eGo if you decide to stick with that as your power source, especially the Smok 1.7's.

 

[sobero4]

I think the silver bullet is an awesome mod for a beginner. Of course I have bought more sophisticated devices since then, but I was in love with that mod for quite some time

 

[sobero4]

Then megalodon is another good mod for someone starting out and isn't ready for the high-tech VV step just yet

You won't get consistency from any model (which is about 98% of them) that does not do something about "battery drain". From the first few puffs on most models, the batteries are no longer at full power, thus consistency suffers.

If you can find a model with regulated, boost circuit technology, then at least from a power standpoint, you will have consistency. Only a few models provide this technology.

+1 with regulated output for consistency - power wise, and a consistant performance of an atty or a carto.
IMHO, the most consistant carto i've ever use are Boge cartos. The cons with these boge are: small capacity (could be rectified with carto-tank). I haven't tried single coil Smoktech cartos, but I heard they are great too.
A provari, a darwin, or an eclipse (watch out: NOT an elipse) are currently most advanced technological PV.

 

[swedishfish]

Not up to the high end mod standards, but it you want to keep your current pv for awhile, I'd get some boge 2.0 cartomizers or some Smoktek 1.7 xl cartomizers and you'll be shocked by the improvement with those over tanks.
Keep the cartomizers full and you'll have a much better, more consistant vape than you currently have.

Hold off on the tank mods and CE2's for a little while and master the cartomizer first.

What your currently using and the tank mods and CE2's require a certain knowledge and skill set. Try the plain old cartomizers first, then definitely try all the other options available once you've mastered cartomizers.

If your frustrated now, you're only going to get more frustrated with something a little more involved.

A great mod is good advice and no question, probably a huge improvement. But as far as the device for you juice, stick to Vaping 101 and master that before moving to Vaping 102.

Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer, 3.5ml

Right there (the link you provided) is inconsistent Chinese junk. That thing takes some tinkering with to get a half decent vape from.

Here is my suggestion....
eGo batteries...get a couple
Boge 2.0ohm cartomizers...get a couple boxes
drip tip...feels nicer on the lips and makes refilling easier

The above is the simplest way to vape in my opinion. I've been at it for over a year now and the above setup is my go to.
