Hi Cheshyl. I am new to using the eGo Mega cylinder attys and had some questions, maybe you can help with? The first one worked good for about a day. Then what would happen is I would fill the cart and after a few drags the poly fill would fall out and be stuck to the bridge and it would cause liquid to seep out from the bottom of the atty! I tried a few different carts and would have the same problem. I tried using less liquid thinking maybe I used too much but that did not help. I also tried using more or less poly fill and still having the same problem. How many drops do you put when you use the carts? I've heard that they can take up to 60 to 80. I think I've experimented with 30 on up to 50 myself, but with same problems. I also noticed that the atty gurgles a lot hard to draw on sometimes. I love the flavor and vapor production when I get a few good draws but not loving having to constantly stop to pull the poly off the bridge and wasting a ton of liquid from seepage. Does yours seep when you direct drip? I want to be able to use the carts because they have such a great capacity but this is driving me nuts. I would drip but dont like having to constantly do it to avoid that burning! I also have no idea how many draws I can take before the burn! I am always nervous when I drip because of this and I'll only take short shallow draws fearing the burn! lol Do you really have to drip after two drags anyway? That would seem like a big pain to do. One last question...When you "blow out" atty's are you doing it from the thread end? Also,

Ok, LF update. I goofed! I emailed them on the 21st and they replied on the 23rd, I just did not see it in my in-box before posting my comment here. Also, on the 25th a package arrived from them with the 801 drip tip that was not included in my order! So, just wanted to update on my first order/customer service experience with them! The sale batt is still working, but again, the jury is out on the true quality. I still don't see much difference in it and my others. I guess I should be happy it works, esp at the price I got it for! Hey Sharon, how are you liking your Tank atty's overall? I've tried three of them so far and they work but the flavor is so muted it's almost like vaping flavorless. I am bummed because they are great in every other way, don't leak, good vapor production and so far last long, but darn the lack of flavor is a huge bummer in my book! What has your experience been? Any suggestions?

I 2nd that. Todd is awesome. Has personally replied w/helpful emails when I was a newbie with 1000 questions (prior to joining forums). The juice... wow, probably some of the best out there. The organic is tasty! Organic Vr4 is a go-to vape for me. Just ordered the caramel cream to try this week!

hahahaha lol Nana... I sooooo learned this lesson as a newbie! I've got backups for almost every type of ecig I own now. I swear I am losing count. Agreed that it's hit or miss. Just when I think I've found the vendor that has the "golden" atties I'll get one that's a dud. Luckily vendors like IndyVapor & AwesomeVapor have gone above and beyond to make sure I always end up with a quality unit. I will emphasize above and beyond for both these guys! Buy from them and you wont go anywhere else! Oh, Wordupecig so far pretty good track record, but not as good as IV or AV imo

I just ordered from them for the first time a week or so ago. Shipping was fast but they had one error in the shipment (sent a 510 drip tip instead of 801 I ordered). I emailed a few days ago but no reply yet. I realize a drip tip is not a huge deal, but hey, I am a first time customer and when I find good vendors I return just about weekly. Anyway, not to happy about that. I also purchased an eGo 1000mah batt from them that was "on sale". It was only $17.99 which also kind of made me think hmmmm, too good to be true? Well, been using it about a week and it works but I will say it takes FOREVER to charge and does not seem to last as long as it's supposed to. I rotate with a std 650mah and 900mah along with this new one and I really don't see that great a batt life difference here. Maybe it's a 650mah in 1000mah clothing? I am happy about the 5-click in any event. Will just have to see if I got what I paid for. The other thing I've noticed at LF is the stock does not seem to be replenished that fast. Some of the DIY juice I wanted a couple weeks from there is still listed out of stock. I will give them a few more days and see if they reply to my email. So far I'd rate shipping 5 stars but the quality of the products is still out... Anyone else buy sale batteries from them?

Hey DJ.. thanks for the info. Don't know if I goofed up, but I did order a couple "Fluxomizers" from GotVapes to try. They were sold out on the 2.4-2.6 ones so I got 2.8-3.0 and 3.0-3.2 to use on my eGo batts (650 and 900mah). Hopefully I'll get a decent idea of the function and wont run into too much burning taste. On GrimmGreen's vid of them he said when he put the 3.0-3.2 on his 5v it burned but on the 3.7 he seemed like a happy camper! Also trying the eGo Tank for the first time tonight and so far so good!

I was able to charge my 900mah eGo batt using the 510 battery adaptor. I assume this is ok because it seems to be charged and working ok.

Yep, just put the adaptor in my 510 charger and charged up the 900mah eGo just fine

Hey another question. Just read on Digitaciggz website that an eGo battery "cannot be charged on a standard Joye 510 charger of any kind". But I was able to buy an adaptor that supposedly allows me to charge my eGo on my standard Joye 510 charger. I purchased a 650mah and a 900mah eGo batt and I only have std 510 chargers both wall and AC/USB adaptor. Am I going to be able to charge these ok using the adaptor I bought?

Oh boy, another item to put on my wish list... Why would the 2.4ohm be recomended for eGo batts? I would think the higher ohm would be since eGos are 3.7 volt and the lower ohm is like LR, which is supposed to be with batts of higher mah? Is this correct or as a newbie I got it wrong once again? lol May try the Fluxomizer or Clearomizer first and if I like it, migrate to MAP. Oh, and that's after I try my eGo Tank which is in delivery as we speak!

Is the Mega Atty the same as the "Monster" Atty: http://www.awesomevapor.com/Monster-atomizer-for-eGo_p_183.html Or the "Jumbo" Atty: http://www.shop.wordupecig.com/eGo-Jumbo-Atomizer-eGo-Jumbo-Atomizer.htm;jsessionid=589B1D28FB7AC94833D13BEEBC13D91A.qscstrfrnt04 Both of which, I ordered along with the Tank atty and Tank Cartridges! Can't wait to try. Hoping for a non-leaking, long lasting alternative to cartos.

Hey Sheff. Thank you so much for all your info. Clears up some of my confusion w/the volts/mahs and all that! I finally ordered my first eGo battery (a 650mah pass through and a 900XL mah) and a couple atty's to try (the eGo "Monster" and the eGo Tank). I soooo hope I will be on to vaping more than an hour or so at a time as has been the case w/my 510, 901's. The longest lasting battery I own now is my 801 and it gives me maybe a couple hours! Now, I am hoping the eGo atty's will live up to their hype because I have just killed three 510's in less than a month and the last one I have now is on it's last leg! I've not had great luck w/atty's so far either! The last part of my vaping experience I hope to improve on is cartos. Thought they were great, but still not going the distance. Kind of feeling like they are glorified carts really as I'm still having to stop and fill every 15 minutes or so. And this is with up to four or five different cigs going! Still eyeing these Fluxomizers as if they did what they propose to do, would be great to fill one, pop it on an eGo batt and be able to vape on the go without worrying about leaky carts, dried up cartos after a few puffs and dead batts! Hey, anyone try the "Smart Carts" on GotVapes site? Look interesting and might try them if I can find some impartial vids on them. The one I've watched so far is from one of the owners, and of course he says they are great! lol

Hey Sharon, you beat me to the punch with your question... I have 510, 801 and 901 standard manual batts and wonder which Flux I should try? As a newbie this ohm/mah stuff is confusing as heck. Would be nice to know what my batts volts or mahs or ohms are or what I should or should not be using w/them! Dying to find a GOOD carto and been eyeing these for a while!

Hey, you could not have said it better, everyone in this post really. I am already into my third PT (510, 901 and 801 manuals, carts, cartos, dripping, you name it). SO frustrated today after spending 1/2 hour dealing with cleaning and filling to have leaky atty's and carts and spilling and wasting eliquid and the like all to get MAYBE a few good puffs of vape. Oh, that was also after inhaling a nice bit of liquid from a carto while driving which was extra special... lol Heck, my throat is still a little sore from last night when either it was my atty or cart filling which burned the crap out of my throat upon inhale. No warning either, one puff was nice and normal and then BAM, I got hit with the dreaded hot burning vapor hit! grrrr Basically about ready to go back to analog after one month of trying 3 diff ecig models and options. Spent hundreds of dollars to end up completely frustrated. Am considering trying the eGo Tank as a last resort as it SEEMS to offer solutions to some of the things I hate most but have been hearing a lot about these Jolly mods. Anyone have a picture or video review of these? Thanks from a very frustrated and almost "ex" vaper!

Forgot to ask, if anyone knows... Once a battery has been fully charged, what is it's "standby" time? Do they hold their ready charge ok or do you need to use them asap. Also, if I leave my batteries in their chargers overnight (or forget they are in them like I do often), can that harm the battery? Considering the 1000mah eGo battery at almost $30 I want to make sure I take care of it!

Hey, Thanks again Nana! I was just about to buy a kit but then realized that I could do what you did, just buy a few batteries and attys (considering getting one T-atty and one Monster Atty for eGo) and a charger adaptor. Which eGo atty's do you use? Also I see with the two atty's I'm considering you have to use special carts with each, the Tank's and the Monster one's. Have you tried either one? I like the fact that the Monster one's hold 80 drops or over 2ml of liquid. Sounds much better than the 510 cartos I'm using now at least. You mentioned you did not like cartos, so I assume you drip with your eGo? Been hearing a lot of experienced vapers ending up using this method w/the eGo as their vape of choice! Thanks again. I'm looking forward to making the switch to ego soon. Doing a lot of price comparisons at the moment and so far wordupecig looks to be the best value/quality products. I bought my 901 from them.

Hi Nana! Thanks for your info. You all have been SO helpful and have saved me much time here! So, I currently have 4 regular 510 atty's... Does this mean I can just buy eGo batteries and use my atty's on them instead of having to buy a full eGo kit? Also, what is the "cone" on the eGo unit? That looks very different than my standard 510 atty. The eGo looks bigger overall when compared to my 510, so if the atty is the same, what's the size difference? Also, if I buy eGo batteries can I charge them using the Joye 510 charger that came with my kit or do I need an adaptor? Regarding the LR atty's... What is the rule with using them, have seen some warnings about the right volts to use them on. Could I use a LR atty on any of my standard manual 510, 801 or 901 batteries? What actually is LR? Does this mean that the draw is easier? If so, yeah, I would see how that could be preferred. I swear sometimes to get a decent draw I'm turning into a mad vaper... would be cool to not have to drag so hard to get a decent hit! I've noticed this problem especially when using standard 510 cartos I just started using. Boy do you have to drag and drag to get a good vape! My Mother was listening to me the other day and she said it sounded like I was using an inhaler... kinda embarassing! Do LR cartos offer the same effect as LR atty's. Are they worth trying. Hey, sorry to bombard you with questions but you are so helpful and I am trying to learn (and deal with some annoying issues) as much as I can. Do you know or use the new ceramic cartos that I've been seeing on vendors sites lately? I really would love to find a carto that lasts longer and performs better than the reg 510 ones I'm using now. I love that I ended the dreaded seeping cartridge issue and longer lasting vape for on-the-go, but overall, the cartos still don't go the distance that I thought they would! Cheers and thank you so much for all your help. I swear, a week ago I was very close to going back to analog because of all the problems (and expense) I've been going through in my new vape experience. It's getting better, but I'm still not "there" yet! lol PLP

Hey, thanks Brian. You've been SO helpful. I think I may try this

Oh boy, sounds similar to my experience which I am still trying to work out... Got an 801 kit from IndyVapor along with a spare 801 atty. Upon first try with the kit included atty it gave off a HORRIBLE burning and kind of mettalic and somewhat chemical taste. I was new to vaping so gave it a few tries before getting frustrated and swapped for the spare atty I bought. That one worked GREAT for a few days but then became so hard to draw on (and gurgled sound). Also had problem with the cartridges not wicking even with plenty of liquid in them. Liquid would just gather at mouth end and the atty end would be dry... grrrr Tried direct dripping and worked somewhat but still had very hard draw problem on one atty and the other two still had horrible taste. Then after a while with direct drip the liquid would just constantly seep out the bottom of the atty! So, completely frustrated I've got what seems a useless 801 (which I loved for 3 days) along with 2 useless atty's all less than 2 weeks old! One with horrible metallic/chemical taste I cant get rid of and one with very little vapor production and draw is like trying to sip molassess out of it all while liquid seems from the atty! I contacted the vendor about these issues and he suggested the dry burn of which I had no idea how to do. I just kept trying to vape on both atty's with both issues never resolving. Still have that awful chemical taste and the vapor seems to coat my mouth too... ick. The nice guy at IndyVapor sent me a free replacement atty, and ten prefilled cartridges too. Very cool and unexpected! But, the new atty not only had the same problem but seemed even MORE strong chemical flavor I can't get rid of. The carts, well, omg but the RY4 tasted really really bad. I felt awful b/c the vendor was so nice and did send this stuff free, but I am unable to use any of it. Any help to salvage my once loved 801? I know, I know, I probably should try cleaning the atty's or do a "dry burn" but I have no idea how to do either and am also a little scared I'll just ruin them. Plus, let's just say I'm a little lazy and got SO frustrated that I just switched to using my 510 and 901 models of which I have many issues with on their own... leaky carts, cartos that don't last or hard to draw on, atty's dying and the like. BUT, even with all this I am still vaping and off the analogs, just very frustrated and have come close to grabbing the pack of analogs I still have when I'm in a rush out the door and dont have time to deal with all these problems. Any help is appreciated. I'm sure all my answers are here in the forum!

So I'm hearing how great the battery life is with the ego's, is this the main reason people prefer them or is the atty also better performance than standard 510's? Also, as a noob, I have three models I'm trying: 510 manual, DSE901 and 801 manual. Could I use ego batteries on any of these? Do I need adaptors for all? Also, since I have no idea about battery volts/mah's and all that, can I potentially harm my batteries when using adaptors? I currently have adaptors to swap my current atty's to the batts I have now. Thanks for the help! ps. Considering the models I have now, would an Ego really be that much better performing and worth buying?

Hey, noobie here too. I went on a mini splurge too on my first ecigs... Well, actually my family chipped in and bought the really expensive 1st kit. What I got... A Preferred 510 Manual Kit from ZeeCigs.com A 801 Manual Kit from IndyVapor.com A 901 Manual Kit from Wordupecig Juice, 510 Cartos, Blank Cartridges, 901/801 extra atty's and some adaptors from AwesomeVapor That was about three weeks ago and I am almost completely analog-free. I would say I'm about five days in now without one single analog for sure! I bought these after doing a little research but before joining this forum. I'm doing ok considering I was flying pretty blind in the beginning. I will say I was a little overwhelmed with all the info out there! I do however have a love-hate thing going on with my current ecigs. This is the reason I'm here learning all I can! Soooo, I also eyed the Bloog MaxxFusion. How did that work out? I'm also considering trying the Ego from all the rave reviews I've read so any information on how yours worked out would be great!
