i was just wondering about this also. just got my ego kit from litecig also, and the kit specified 2 x 510 atty.

Electronic Cigarette Kits Including the Joye Ego Kit | Joye Ego Starter Kit | Joyetech Ego Products from LiteCigUSA!

it has the separate atomizer, cartridge, and cone that screws on top. i was thinking perhaps i should go ahead and order extra atties now, and i went back to the site and looked. i see atties marked 510/ego for sale, but over at heavyvapor.com, they have ego type a and type b atties.

so i guess these are all interchangeable. what i want to know is which i should order next.

also, btw, ordered a mega atty, which i am enjoying dripping with, but i cant fill the damn ego carts and cartos without a syringe. :(

Any of the 510's will work on the ego's fine. The ego mega carto's I've had no luck with end up with a burnt paper taste pretty quickly, so I prefer the 510 CE2 XL carto's. 18 gauge syringe works good for filling the mega carto's though. I use the mega type b atty's strictly for dripping work really nice after debridging them.

*brainfart* sorry, long day. looks like i can fill the mega carts fine, but not cartos without needle. wish i had known. which still leaves me wondering what backup atties i should order now (more 510s, megas, or egos)?

As long as they are 510 attys, they will work on your eGo. I haven't tried the mega atomizers, but I use both regular and LR 510 attys. either 'genuine joyetech' or EM brand attys only. As for cartomizers, 510 LOW RESISTANCE BOGE SOFT CAP Blank Cartomizers from litecig are easy to fill (no syringe) and vape really well.

is the lifespan shorter to a noticeable degree? i am not really sure what the lifespan on ego 650 batts is anyway.

Generally, L-ion batteries like the eGo/riva batteries are good for around 300 charges. I would imagine LR attys will lessen that number somewhat, but I am more concerned with a good vape than whether I need to replace them a month or so sooner. I would guess around 30% less time between charges with LR and maybe that much shorter lifespan. after 2 months my Riva batteries are still going strong.

wow. i thought vaping was supposed to be cheaper. i am afraid to say how much i have spent in about 10 days on kr8 stuff and now ego stuff and liquids. :) still, i'm not complaining. tried two analogs since vaping, and they sucked.

am i correct in thinking that charging more often prolongs battery life over running it dry all the time?

also, as long as i'm asking (what will some day seem) stupid questions: squid, i looked at your profile (awesome avatar!) and found the ego group. it says janty ego's... janty and joye are different brands? same or different manufacturers?

I think Janty is a rebrand of Joyetech products, but I'm not sure. Most eGo/Riva type devices are made by either Joyetech or Hello Group and are rebranded for different companies.

It is better NOT to run a L-ion battery all the way down. That will help with overall life. It also doesn't develop 'battery memory' like the older nicad or nimh rechargeables, so you can use it halfway and put it back on the charger all you like.

I purchased my ego kit Stainless Steel from lite cig Usa.


2 x 510 matte atomizer
2 x Cone (atomizer cover)
2 xEGO 650mAh rechargeable pushbutton lithium-ion batteries (over four times the capacity of a standard 510 battery)
5 x Pre-filled cartridges
1 x 110VAC to USB wall adapter
1 x USB 500mAh output quick charger (use on your computer or with supplied wall adapter or any other USB 2.0 port or power source) DO NOT USE this USB charger on standard 510 batteries.
1 x Soft black carrying pouch
1 x instruction manual
All packaged nicely in an attractive box.

Type A then. I've never seen kits that came with them before. What all was in the kit?

Heaven Gifts quite recently changed their eGo kits to include the eGo cone atomizers (Type A) but have since made the Joye 510 atomizer and seperate cone an option at the customers request. I think if using carts I'd prefer the eGo atomizers over the 510 type anyway. Looking at the pictures on FSUSA's site and putting 2 + 2 together I'd guess their source is HG.. Perhaps FSUSA should change their site though as it still says it comes with Joye 510 attys.

Once your set with all your hardware, it's only juice that your will need to buy, your spending will lessen. Maybe an occassional new atty.
Try to use the Mega Atty/carts more than you use the LR atty for longer battery life. I use my LR for only a couple of hours at night. Did see a big difference in battery drain with the LR. If your bent on using the LR, try a USB passthrough
