OK...This eGO with the Mega Atty

[Ardeagold]

Isn't producing vapor like my little tiny Joye510s.

The model I'm using is the USB one...and of course, since it's a new Atty...it tastes awful (even after blowing out and burning off whatever it is they package it with). I filled an empty cart...not using cartos.

I did order some stronger juices (I've been using a low nic juice...12mg) and obviously am getting something from it because I actually got light headed. So, realize, that 24 mg is too much for me to vape all day. I think I'll try that strength in the am and after dinner and then stick with the 12mg.

But...where is the mega vapor that I was expecting? Is there something I should be doing or not doing?

I experienced the same problem with the Mega eGo and I know its not the PG/VG % because I even tried 100% VG and same result. The higher the VG % the more vapor....didn't work with the Mega. I think this large wide mouth atty eGo was not designed properly and it was a rush to upsell the eGo with the "bigger is better". I think the atty needs to be more powerful in order to vape the juice to get more vapor up into the larger mouthpiece but not sure. I, too, thought I was doing something wrong. I even tried dripping into the atty and received the same results.... very little vapor. I wanted to send it back and get my $$'s but the thing does work, but just not to my liking.

I have since moved up to a modified vapor box called REO Grand at www.reomods.com This mod box is fabulous and you should definitely read up on it in this forum!! The Reo Grand is always in short supply because company is a single owner operation. Reos are very hard to get but well worth the wait and effort. Reo is suppose to have more GRANDS available for sale after Christmas. Presently, Rob is selling about 10 to 15 Reo Mini (smaller version of the Grand) per day. He does not post the time of day when available because so many vapers want them and his site crashes if he tells an exact time of availability. Rob, (the designer and owner) has built the Rolls Royce of Vaping..... If you decide to step up and run with the big dogs (no pun intended).... Reo is the way to go.

Thanks for the info :-). Have you ever tried your eGo with the 510 Atty? I haven't yet. But I'll try it tomorrow. Hopefully that helps...

i have been using a lr mega ego atty debridged dewicked with all the caps out on the whistle tip... ill drop seven drops of vg juice and im good to go for a while with excellent flavor and plums of vapor. my truck gets hot boxed and i actually have to roll down the window... the vg helps for leaking and stays dry on the outside of the device. it hits really hard sometimes too hard and too much for me to handle... i dunno anything about the regulars... but i did notice the mega carts with the mega atty were not a great combo for me... i suggest debridging and dewicking and removing the plugs from ur whistle tip. remember there are two plugs, and then just drip. i don't suggest using seven drops as it is a standard mega atty.

in addition +1 on getting over the standard look of an ecig and if u do try this mod remove the filler in the tip

I think these mega atty's just take a lot longer to break in is the issue. I've been huffin and puffin on mine for a few days and its just now starting to give me a ton of vapor and flavor, both of which had been lacking. Highpings cart mod helped alot too!

To each his own, but as far as my tastes go, I haven't found a better 510 type atty. My last one died yesterday and I'm lost without them. I have a 5 volt passthrough and it's good with a regular 510 atty, but not as good as the mega. I also have bauway LR attys and they don't compare either. I drip and the mega atty can be finicky at times, but once they are working properly, the hit is so rich and full. I also find that when they get flooded, they are difficult to unflood. I also found out that 5 volts will fry them.
When they are new, I blow them out, soak them in alcohol and dry them by the woodstove. It takes about an hour and they're ready to go. I drip about 8 drops, let it sit for a few minutes, then drip 3 more drops and it's ready to go and since I've been using this method, there hasn't been a break in period. I dewick them also.
I just ordered some new mega attys today so the mega cartos will have to get me by until they get here.
The mega cartos are also good and give lots of vapor, but I don't like them as much as the attys.
I wish more vendors carried them.

OK..probably a stupid question, but how do you "dewick/debridge" them? And how do you remove the plugs? Where are they in the whistle tip?

[bruther]

I don't have time to find them, but there are youtube videos showing how to dewick, it's very simple to do, just takes a few minutes. Debridging is very easy too, although for me, debridging doesn't have as good of an effect with a mega atty as it does with a regular 510 atty.

Bridgeless is a drippers dream atty here is a link to the link with the video lol

the whistle tips have two plugs remove the filler then on the top where you hit it from there's a tiny hole in the middle where the vapor comes out... take a paper clip or the pointy end of a safety pin and pop it out. insert the point into the hole and push it up. there is also a second plug, you want to do the same to this too. if i could i would cut out the insides too but i guess im too lazy... this just allows an easy draw imo similar to a drip tip by alleviating the blockage from the atty to ur mouth

[Ardeagold]

OK, got the whistle tip deplugged! Thanks for the instruction. This mega atty still isn't working so well. Will fiddle a bit more and look for the other threads! Thank you!!!
