Okay, this is still a fairly noob type question but how often would you clean a tank atty?
-
As far as the battery, I have the standard and I am getting a solid day out of it as well. I have been averaging about a tank and a half, to two tanks a day all on the same battery so I think the standard is just fine.
Given I am only on my fifth day with it I can not speak to atty life - other than to say I am on the one atty all five days with no problems and have just blown it out 2 times and its working like a champ.
-
They appear to be clones and functionally the same. I have watched the Tornado tank videos and everything about it seems identical to the eGO-T I have.
-
You're in luck - I just refilled the tank. I didn't fill to the max (somewhat better results if don't fill it to max capacity), but close and got 25 drops in the tank. That was with a 50/50 PG/VG liquid.
I can honestly say I haven't counted that out before since I just pop the cap off, and squeeze the bottle - takes about 2 seconds to fill it.

I thought it was funny
Always happy to provide some humor.
For what its worth as well and I know I am beginning to sound like a shrill - for a beginner I think the tank atomizer and system is just a great option - for the first week I was dealing with carto's and attempting dripping and had mixed but successful results - I received my tank cartridges and atty this past saturday morning and I can not tell you how much I am enjoying it for ease and consistency of use.
You might want to look into the eGO tank system, its a beginners friend for sure.
-
I have had my eGO for just about a week now and with the standard attys that came with it I had no luck with dripping.
For what its worth, I got my eGO-T atty with the tanks yesterday and I am loving this system, its so simple, and consistent. You might want to consider it.

I ordered my eGo starter kit here at the yap or talk store and added a five pack of blank 510 cartomizers. I have now added the sgo-t tank and think I will going that route for the foreseeable future !
Wow didnt see the autocorrect on my ipad changing Vapor talk store to yap or...sorry

And just a side note - add the tank system to the ego and I can see this being a very simple approach to vaping - just got the tank this morning and i am thinking this changes everything.

Well my tank system arrived this morning. Got it from Todd at Vaperite along with a 100%VG and a 50/50 French Vanilla (boy I am shocked at the flavors I am trying).
Filled a tank with the Key lime, set it up and tried it out. Wow first of all the flavor is great but the tank system really works well. As I am very new to all this I was thinking in the first week that I am going to get tired of filling cartos and so far seem to be direct drip challenged.
I can see the convenience and ease of the tank working very very well. Assuming all the parts hold up for a reasonable period I can see this being my primary method for some time to come.
So to sum it up
-
It seems like everything I have seen and now confirmed in the previous posts it is an E9 - is and E9 the same as KR808D-1 ?!? I have no idea but I would be shocked.
Its my belief the E9 is meant to keep you bound to their products.
-
Yeah it was fairly unpleasant which actually was good positive reinforcement !
I have the windows down in the garage for the night but will do a full interior cleaning this weekend, some leather cleaner and conditioner should go along way!
-
If I'm not mistaken, the GreenSmoke is an E9 model, same as the red dragon.
Yes it is an E9 - thats correct.
For now, I'm sticking with Green Smoke. I like them. Day 3, no real cigarettes! I'm feeling better today about it. I don't have any complaints about Green Smoke. They have plenty of vapor and taste fine, once you get used to it. I like the ease of use. Maybe the price is a little higher, but hey, I'm not smoking and I cant put a price on that. I am going to try some flavors from the VT Store and maybe get a passthru for when I'm at work. I'm gonna find me a pretty little jewelry box to store everything in (I'm not liking the tackle box idea). The whole idea is to quit smoking, for me, not start a new hobby. I definitely don't want this whole set up to take up more space that my carton of cigarettes did.
Whatever it takes is correct. I am on day 3 as well and going well - I did the GS for about 2 weeks but was still having a smoke or 5 or day so it wasn't enough. I needed something just a bit more, and the ego has fit the bill on that. I use both depending on which mood I am in.
I suspect I will make more of a hobby of this than you, but isnt that what its all about, what ever you want it to be as long as its not analogs.
On a side note, had to run out today for bit (I mostly work at home) and got in my car and whew - it stinks, yep I smoked in the car. I think I will be doing some car interior cleaning today. Amazing how three little days effects how your senses work!
-
While I know its WAY to early for me to give up on any flavors at this point - heck I most likly have no idea what they taste like yet
. So just curious over time, do you ever find yourself juice swapping with others - I saw that on some other forum I was poking around in were they had a favor exchange just wondering if any of you have tried swapping flavors with others that just didnt work out for you?
-
I was wondering about the eGO t-tank, it seems as though it is a great approach, a middle ground of the convenience of cartos, while closer to dripping.
I guess I know my next purchase!
-
Well those are great ideas - I knew y'all have this figured out. Right now its easy enough since I only have four flavors and four cartos, but I know this will become more challenging as the collection expands.
Thanks.

Okay I will add on to the noob questions of the carto's. I am having the most luck with them getting started - it seems like a great beginner method - but also has a good deal of other applications. That being said I have what I know are some really simple questions but figure you all are likely to provide so great insight here. I think it makes sense to add them in here but if its considered a bit of a hijack just say so.
So here they go:
1. Do you generally only use the same favor juice in a carto - at least in between cleanings?
2. How do you tell your cartos apart, right now I have two active and filled cartos - besides vaping with one, are what do you do to organize of label them?
these might be silly questions, but when its all new to you - you just don't know.
-
Interesting, I was thinking for sure I have just ordered juices at too high a level. I did fill a cartomizer with Dulcis today using the carto condom method - thought I would try that, and I have been having more luck with that one.
I will say I did try Direct drip yesterday and that didn't work out so well but no doubt this is both a science and an art, so I will hand in there for sure.
Thanks for the prefilled idea - oh goddie, more to order!
-
So today is my fist fully committed day to vape not smoke! I received my eGo yesterday and VT favors (four of them) and was absolutely shocked that this arrived to me in FL before noon when I only ordered is Saturday after 5 PM ET. Way to go VT store!
Anyway so I played with the ego some yesterday and my challenge is this - I am getting too much throat hit, and not enough vapor. I ordered all 16 mg Medium flavors as I have (now formerly smoked Camel light menthol - which tend to be a bit stronger) and thought that would be the correct MG but I am almost finding it to be too intense.
With the slightest of draws I am finding it to almost burn the throat, which makes me back off and thus produce little vapor. I do fully taste the intense flavor, which I like but its almost too much.
So I could use some guidance. What can I do to balance this out some? Any and all thoughts are welcome - not that I have to say that since I have found in just a few short days that y'all seem to have great suggestions.
Thanks

thanks for the input. Its so all so foreign to a noob like me after years and years of just going into a store and asking for 2 or 3 boxes of your normal cig brand to think about the different options, flavors, hardware and software that its just such a challenge to get your hands around and make a sound choice to get started. I have come to accept that I will make mistakes along the way and this will be a trial and error approach to the journey of transitioning from a smoker to a vaper.
Its pretty simple to envision what a bottle of 10 or 20 ML looks like but how that translates into how many drops does one typically get out of a bottle -- whew. I of course realize that typical is always the challenge, what is typical to one person is so varied from person to person.
To that end I have pulled the trigger and my eGo is packed and ready to go, with my tracking number in hand. I went ahead and got four flavors and the trial and error method round 2 is underway - or will be in a couple of days.
Thanks to all who are willing to share and I hope to be a contributing member of the community as my journey gets going

Done, its not at all surprising given how non-smoker friendly NY is. Of course this isn't smoking but why should facts get in the way of government.
-
My pleasure, look at me 2nd day as a member and I am adding value to the community!
I see it all working proper now.....now to pick some flavors, this is exciting!

Hey all,
So I am getting ready to pull the trigger and step up to the eGo. I was poking around in the store here and really want to go stainless eGO - I like the look of it just a bit more than the black matte finish (if someone knows any reason this is a bad idea I am open to hearing that!)
Anyway it I went to add it to the cart and keep getting a message "please choice one or more options to add this to your cart". But there are no options to choose from. I notice on the non-stainless one the option choices are about the free bottle of ejuice.
I have used the contact form on the store site to ask about the problem with ordering but I figured I would mention it here an ask if anyone has any insight and as I said, it also got me wondering if the black matte finish is preferable of the stainless - you all seem so quick to provide the insight you have built up I thought it cant hurt to ask!
-
Well hello all. I just want to say this is a great forum, tons of great information here and a great resource and its greatly appreciated.
Like most noobs I jumped into vaping without a clear sense of what it is all really about. I thought it would be about replicating the smoking experience, thinking that was more about the form factor then the actual throat hit and lung hit, and vapor production. I ordered from Green smoke and instantly liked it, but within the first days of using the automatic battery and cartomizers quickly started having very inconsistent results - I am sure I am going to try to call them on the money back guarantee but every part of me thinks thats not going to go well. We shall see. I now realize that I really dont care what it looks and feels like in my hands but rather the actual experience it provides - lesson quickly learned!
So that leads me to my questions:
Question set 1
Pretty sure based on all I have read here I will be placing an order for eGo (I really like the stainless, thought I would mention it). So it says the kit comes with a "full size bottle of eLiquid - your Choice" I have seen the vids and know you should do about 2 or 3 drops and that should give you about 5 to 7 puffs. So first is that correct? Assuming so, a full bottle gives you about how many drips (or 2 to 3). I am asking so I know if I should order more bottles at the same time.
Question 2 - so I did order a bunch of cartomizers from Green smoke and while I can return them I suspect the restocking fee and shipping makes it more trouble then its worth to return them. So I am wondering if anyone knows if I can use the cartomizers on the ego. What I do know is the auto batteries with Green smoke are 9MM battery threads.
I think thats all I have for now, any help and guidance is appreciated.

I did see the same video about the darker juices and like you I am still quite the noob with only a few weeks of vaping under my belt.
Right now I have six juices (actually not that bad a collection I guess) and my two darkest juices are my colada from the VT store and fmy French vanilla from vaperite (Yum might I add) both of which I would say are no darker than say a Sam Adams beer. Both have vaped perfectly fine with the tank.
Not entirely sure if that helps but that's all I have to offer!
