Ok here we go
The question is, money not really being an object, what you recommend for a complete tank system?
I’ve smoked since I was 12 and way too many years later I realize I HAVE TO QUIT…that’s the bottom line. I got my current system a little over week ago and I see it has some pitfalls (eGo-t) even after I had read everything and anything until I was cross-eyed. I have figured out that the learning curve is unreal in this area and I really need to pursue this wanting to quit while the state of mind to actually carry thru with it exists. So I would like to draw on your collective expertise to help me make some informed decisions.

Current system:
eGo-T
Requirements:
• long lasting ( I don’t want to refill very often )
• easy draw (this is important)
• as maintenance free as is possible
• ease of carry I don’t require a cigarette size but I don’t want to carry around a 4 cell Maglite either
• lots of Vapor (this is important)
• low chance of leaking
• I like the tank idea …fill it up go all day long but am open to other options that give that low refilling options
• Nice throat hit
• Good taste
• Ability to charge it up fill it up and last the better part of a day ( at least 10 hours) I know this is subjective as what my use vs. someone’s else’s use habits but I think you get the idea

.
Specific brands and or links =Awesome... as I still have issues with understanding the lingo even after much reading so being able to go find a specific product after I read

The pros and cons as you see them




Thank you in advance for your advice

I carry 2 eGo T's with me. The 2 650 mah batteries last all day with no problem. Since they both have type B tanks, juice will last most of the day too. The only downfall I see to the eGo T is the maintenence of the atomizers. Since you said money is no object, you could buy 2 new attys a week for $20-25 and never have to worry about cleaning or maintaining them. I've seen people on here say that it takes a week or more for these attys to "break in" but it is hard for me to keep them working properly after a couple weeks. It seems like I can never get an old atty to perform like a new one. I think I'm going to go the route of buying new ones every week just so I don't have to fiddle with them anymore.

From everything you describe, it sounds like you might be interested in a bottom-feeder. The Reo is a very popular model on this forum, and there are several threads devoted to Reos, Reo owners, and Reo fans. I don't own one myself, but it does seem to offer ease of use, enough juice to last most or all of the day, etc. Likewise, it can use either attys or cartos.

There are other bottom-feeders, as well...VMod, Krimson Kustoms, etc.

This may be my next avenue, for some of the same reasons as you mentioned.

    I use one of these... Even on my ego batteries :) J-TANK Fill it up in the morning, leak-free and lasts me all day!

    +1 Next best thing to direct dripping on an eGo bat.

    omaha, ne
    i use an egoT as well, just got some type B atomizers (hold 2ml as opposed to the type A [the ones it comes with] which hold half of that at most). i got the type B atomizers from myfreedomsmokes.com. They have a package of some 'off' units (4 atomizers & 30 tanks for $28) which i think are regular type B's but there's something off with them in terms of sizing of the cartridge/atomizers and apparently they (the tanks) only work with the atomizers in this package. The price was right to try out the type B at least. They seem to work fine for me, although the tanks aren't as snug in the atomizers as i'd like them to be, maybe that's why the lower price.

    I also just recently got 2 cartomizers (echo-e double coil from mtnvapor.com). they also have a great deal, if you buy 30ml of juice they'll throw in a free one, plus free shipping, can't beat the price: $12 for both. these cartomizers are better than the traditional design (in my opinion) in that the filler material is around a little tube that suspend the dual coils inside it. no dripping/leaking issues at all, outside of the initial filling which you'll want to do with the bottom of the cartomizer sitting on the bottle of juice or a napkin, you'll also want a syringe to make the filling easier. but you'll want a syringe to make the typeA/B tank filling much easier as well, no need to remove the tank caps, just put the needle in the hole and fill. anyway, these cartomizers hold 3ml of juice.

    the cartomizers seem to be easier/lighter on the draw than the tanks, but i'm not particular about that part.

    i think the throat hit depends on the type of juice you put in just as much as the device you put it in though, as well as the nicotine level, but i'm not 100% on that yet based on my limited experience (2 months).

    i apparently tend to like spearmint/menthold/apple/pecan/cinnamon type stuff, whereas most other stuff tastes too sugary to me. in 18mg nic level.

    the batteries i have 1100mah last me over 2 days each.

    Look into the E-power 14650 model it has a batteries that you can recharge in a battery charger and keep a spare in your pocket and just unscrew the tube and put in a fresh battery, That way you always have power. These are cheaper than sealed units and the batteries are cheap to replace. I got mine at Aceofvapes but a lot of other vendors sell them too. They are a hot unit now and a lot of vendors are temporarily out of stock sometimes. Do check them out. I also like the dual coil cartomizers for lots of vapor.

    I've had an EGO for five months now and having tried lots of options, including the Liquinator tank (now my second choice) I recently fell in love with madvapes Ego Mega Dual Coil Carto (EMDCC). Great vape, goes most of the day on a fill up, very hard to "burn". Give em a try - they are great. Only $2.79 each and last about a week to ten days depending one what juice you use.

    A Reo Grand sounds like it would work well for you. I have two mini Reos, one has my daytime flavor in it, and the other my evening flavor. Since the battery is smaller in the mini I do end up changing it once during the day, and occasionally at night. I vape about 3mls a day, so if I start off in the morning with two full bottles, that lasts me about two days. The Grand would last you the entire day, and is about the size of a cigarette pack. I like a smaller mod, so the mini is just about perfect for me.

    I would recommend using AW IMR batteries, unless something new comes along, I haven't found anything better for vaping consistency.

    Ok I did not know about the ego t B tank version and from what I've read they have several advantages over the standard "a" tank
    Easier draw
    2ml vs. 1 ml I seem to be going thru about 1.5 while at work atm

    The different batteries available (didn’t know about this 2 weeks ago) as I've seen standard 650 larger 900, 1000, 1100mah would make a nice difference

    So the plot thickens
