Hello,
I've been vaping with a 510 for almost 2 years, but I'm frustrated to the point of using analogs again :( I go back and forth between cartos and push carts. I'll use the push carts until I get frustrated with the attys. I have a problem with attys not lasting very long before they need cleaning. I think I flood them, but if I don't I get no flavor, or worse, a burnt taste. Then I go to carts, but get frustrated with them because of lack of flavor and getting tight ( I vape tiramisu, and know that dark liquid = clogged atty/carto but it's my every day favorite). I have plenty of attys, but am sick to death of having to boil them. I'd like to try another type, but there are so freaking many, and so many variations of each type, I have no clue what I should look at. My wants, in order of importance, are:

1. Good flavor that lasts more than the first hour or two with a new carto or atty! I don't care about the throat hit at all, would prefer something that hits like a fresh 510 carto, but all the time. Don't really care about amount of vapor either. That's the one thing I still like about the 510, how easy it is to vape on the sly.

2. Ease of use- I don't want to have to mess with the damn thing all the time like I am now, topping up carts, blowing out the atty, ect. I just wanna fill it and vape it.

3. Low cost, I'm looking to spend between 100 - 150 to get all the hardware I need including spare batteries and attys, and charger. I'm more than good on juices.


I'm thinking about an Ego, but am open to anything except mods - I don't want to carry something huge around that looks like a bomb :) I tried shopping for an Ego, but there's like a hundred different kinds (and battery ohms) and I have absolutely no knowledge of them except what they look like and that they are stronger than a 510. I don't understand the ohms and voltage stuff, so feel free to talk to me like I'm 3 when it comes to this.

Thanks in advance for any advice you send my way!!!

ego sounds like what u want. they will work with your current 510 stuff and aren't ridiculously large. as far as the mah(not ohms) the higher the number the longer it lasts(aprox 1hr per mah) ex 650mah will last 6.5hrs of continuous vaping, 900mah will last 9hrs continuous vaping. I started out with the regular 510 and less than a month later upgraded to the ego and have been happy with it for over a yr and a half :) your ego twist is variable voltage meaning you can turn up/down power(voltage) as you see fit. I tried one and didn't notice a difference LOL

I agree with ingerri, an eGo is a great choice. Now, the atty trouble probably won't be solved by the battery underneath. Have you tried dripping? I know you said you don't want to constantly hassle with the thing, but I found that it's actually less hassle in the long run. I found that, by dripping, I can get very consistent performance for longer periods of time. I think filler was killing my atties faster than they should be dying. Try a low resistance 306 (fits a 510 connection), or a low resistance 510, and drip a bit. I think you'll like it.
