The E-GO style electronic cigarette is by far one of the most popular E-Cigs on the market for beginners. It’s portable, cheap (less than the Cig-a-Likes beginner kits), and resembles the feel of a cigarette since it’s long and skinny. Perfect for your back pocket or purse when going out! EGO batteries are a long pen like device with a button near the top to ‘fire’ the atomizer. The atomizer will be a tank to store your E-Juice where the wick is either fed from the top or the bottom to your coils to produce vapor. The EGO is great for beginners not only because it is cheap but there are a wide variety of beginner kits available on the market. These kits are all inclusive to get started with your vaping journey. The user doesn’t have to worry about chargers or extra replacement parts since these kits include everything you need plus some.
The E-GO Style E-Cig
This design is different from others because of its special connector. Most E-Cigs uses primarily a 510 connection to complete the electrical circuit between the atomizer and the battery. The EGO has the 510 as well as what we go an EGO connection as well. The EGO connection is special unlike the 510 connection which screws within the battery, similar to screwing a screw inside a hole, instead the EGO screws around the battery, similar to a water bottle top cap. This is great as this is less prone to damage in the long run, whereas the 510 connection threads could potentially become damaged over time. As we know the battery itself is a long, slender, pen like device that comes in different lengths. Generally speaking, the longer the length of the battery, the greater battery life it’ll have. Now you might be thinking that you would like to sacrifice size for battery life as you can just charge the EGO, however when you’re out and about and your battery dies there may not be a charger. Nothing gets a new vaper to go back to old habits faster than a dead battery! The EGO doesn’t have a battery indicator either so it is really a guessing game of when the battery will run out of juice. This is why most kits generally come with an additional battery for these situations; one to charge and the other to use. Some of the EGO batteries comes with variable voltage as well. There is a knob built in to the bottom of the battery where you can adjust how much voltage you want to output. Depending on your personal preference, with higher voltages, you get a warmer more intense flavor as well as thicker, denser vapor. However the downside of setting to a higher voltage would be the battery will die a whole lot quicker. This is why getting a battery with the largest mah (larger mah means longer battery life) is important for those of us who would want to use variable voltage.

The EGO Atomizer
This is a tank fed coil system, which is you can store 1.5ml to 2ml worth of E-Juice in the tank while the E-Juice is vaporized by the coils wrapped around the saturated wick. When you run of out juice, simply refill the tank with your desired E-Juice. The coils can be replaced as well when they die out. Generally these coils last about two weeks, but depending on how often you use it, it could be a lot sooner than that. Most of these atomizers have a plastic tank which is great since they are more durable for day to day use, however some E-Juices will have a negative effect on these plastic tanks. Some juices could ‘crack’ the tank, this is why a pyrex glass tank is sometimes suggested for beginners who are unsure whether their E-Juice has this affect or not. Another thing about these EGO atomizers is they also do not perform well with thicker E-Juices. A ratio of 50/50 is the suggested ratio of PG/VG to be used on the EGO style atomizers. With thicker juices, there may not be sufficient airflow to saturate your wicks fast enough and as a result you’ll get what is called a ‘dry hit’. Dry hits happen when the coil burns the wick without the wick being saturated. This is easily solved by using a higher PG ratio of E-Juice or by closing off the airholes with your finger and taking a quick pull without firing. This method forces the juice into the wick and quickly saturates the wick and coil. Be very careful when doing this method as too long of a pull will flood your coils and leak out of the airholes. Flooding can also occur when your tank is less than 1/3 full. What happens is the vaccum created within the tank is too weak to keep the juice from flowing out the airholes. It’s always a good idea to keep your tank at least half full and to refill from there.
Charging your EGO battery is simple. Your kit should come with an usb charger when you can charge with your computer or a wall outlet. I must warn you to use a wall outlet adapter that is suited for charging the EGO. If the wall outlet adapter is pumping in more than the battery can handle, the EGO battery could vent out and explode. This is the main reason why you should always monitor your batteries while it is charging to avoid potential battery accidents from burning your house down. So no overnight charging and definitely don’t leave your EGOs in the car especially in the summer. If the extreme summer heat can make a coke can explode, imagine what it can do to a high drain battery!
If you decide to get the EGO, just know its a fantastic choice to start vaping! I know I’ve stated some cautions, but my rule is always safety first with these devices. As always have fun, explore new E-Juices, and most importantly stay smoke free!
