Demonstrated here are 3 EGO E-Cigarettes whith different styles of atomizer/tank tips.  Each different style is modified with an identical method with the same results and with no modifications to the Ecig itself.

NOTE:  It is my opinion this Ecig design is not the proper tool for producing very, very large vapor filled bubbles no matter how much you modify the Ecig itself.  If you want to increase the air flow simply loosen the connection where the atomizer screws into the battery section for a tiny bit more air flow.

If making large "smoke" filled bubbles faster is your goal I recommend moving up to a modified Zero Launcher or Dragon Puffer available online through Zereo Toys, Inc. [EDWARD NOTES: This recommendation seems no longer to be accurate. Rick's updated 2015 design seems the equal of the Zero Launcher with much better longevity. See details here.]

It is important to mention the EGO style E-cigs are push button operated to activate the battery.  When not in use press true button RAPIDLY 5 times to shut the battery off. The battery can be accidentally activated while traveling, etc.  Repeat to turn it back on again.

01 3 types

Three different models of E-cigarettes. The EGO brand features a push button that activates the battery. It is recommended you press the buttojn 5 times rapidly to de-activate the battery when storing or traveling or when not in use.

02 coler look at 3 diff

All three models shown here have air-flow holes where the atomizer attaches to the battery. If you desire more air flow simply loosen the battery a tiny bit to your liking without making dramatic modifications to the E-cig itself.

03 mfgrs vents

A closer look...

04 each style has vents

It is worth mentioning I once enlarged these vents without any noticeable improvement in performance

05 dual exhaust ego-t tip

Duial exhaust type moutpiece (EGO-T)

06 removing inside plugs on this type tip only

With this model you need to remove the plugs inside the moutpiece as shown

07 round out the end of the tip

Full of fluid and ready to insert into the atomizer. I use 100% pure glycerine.

08 ready to use

You need to round out the very tip of the mouthpiece by biting or using pliers in order to fit a straw or tube

09 different style straight tip

A cheaper model mouthpiece/atomizer

12 fitting the straws-tubes over mouthpiece copy

You need to find a straw or tube that will fit either on the inside or the outside of the mouthpiece. The shaft from a BIC pen will work

13 closer look

14 Small size kitchen rubber glove

A simple way to cap off the end of the larger tube the E-cig will be housed it

15 getting the right size hole

After cutting of the finger tip of a small size kitchen rubber glove..fold it into pleats and snip of the very tip

16 ready to use

DO NOT snip off too much of the tip.

17 fitting the end of the larger tube

Use 2 or 3 of the fingertips to mad a durable tip for the end of the larger tube

18 Semi flexible plastic tubes

An additional option is to find a cap that will snap onto the end of the larger tube you are using but it must have a hole in the center for the straw or tube

19 Rubber glove tips with rubber band for extra measure

It is suggested to wrap the rubber tip with a rubber band for extra measure. You can snip off a thin piece of the glove finger to use as a rubber band

 
20 Inserting the ecig inside tube

Slide the E-cig into the larger tube and through the rubber tip as shown

Rick advises: the output can be significantly improved by poking some holes in the straw with a sewing needle. Ths holes should be made so that they will be inside the tube near where the straw meets the cap.

 
Rfindley cap and straw needle

Poke six holes in the straw using a sewing needle to improve airflow.

 
21 All three ready to use

All three models use the same modification to create a functioning vapor blower

25 about as large a vapor filled bubble you will get

This is about as large a fog-filled bubble as you are going to produce using this E-cig pipe design. Using 100% glycerine for fog juice creates a very think fog so it is not necessary for you to keep your finger on the button to keep blowing fog. Let up on the button and blow air only into the bubble once you have a decent amount of fog inside--you will still produce magnificent fog-filled bubbles while saving your juice and your battery.
