Ego - c , B-type?

**Riffy** · 04-16-2012, 03:17 AM

Ordered the $19 ego-c atties from vaperite yesterday. I believe they are silken brand or something. Find out if they're any different this week. For anyone that is interested. I'll post back in here the results.

I ordered two 5 packs of the Siken heads from vaperite. I can only get 2-3 days of vaping before the heads start to fail. I am going to try the Joye heads next before I go back to my Ego T. Has anyone else had experience with the Siken heads?

They are working on mine but I get a leak every time when the tank gets to 25% full. They are lasting the same amount of time as the joye ones though. Think the wick in them might be a little different or something, because I've never had a leak on my ego-c till I tried these.

I'll be ordering the joye ones next time too. :-(

I think I got two bad 'holders' from Ovale - one A, one B. The A, doesn't seat fully but doesn't leak, but the B does with less then 1/4 tank - otherwise fine. Since, I've gotten 2 joye B's from heaven gifts - no problem with either of them.

I still can't decide if these silken atties are different or not. I put 2 new ones in yesterday and didn't have any leaks. I run 2 ego-c while 2 charge, that's why 2 atties at the same time. Might have been a fluke on the first 2 or it might be time to put new caps on them too. I've had the same caps on for a while now. See what happens in the next few days or so.

I've gotten one bad A and one bad B also. One (silken) the hole on top was actually to small for a tank to fit in it. The other (ovale) just totally fell apart and would never hold together again. *shrugs* Spare parts I guess. That's out of 8 total. 4 A's & 4 B's and the ovale one I broke in my pocket I think.

Totally can't wait for tomorrow or saturday.... ego-twist should be here!!!! :-) Dieing to see how the ego-c works with it.

Depending on your vaping habits, I think you'll like the new Twist in eGo batts

I enjoyed mine today - on charge right now.... it was interesting to be able to pinpoint the ovale holder. The joye head leaked on it but not the Joye holder and the ovale head worked fine in the Joye holder.... and again - I may have gotten a lemon - others have been vaping the Ovale's without a problem.. still I think it's worth reporting what happens....

Ok not one leak since I got the twist... I guess I'm going to be ordering these again after all. BTW... LOVE the Twist!!!! :-) The twist & the ego-c B is pretty near perfect for me.

I use Riva SE batts almost exclusively, and as of late I was getting too many dry hits and vaping became unbearable with the B's (with B SR heads). I tried using an eGo-T batt and the situation improved, but still unpleasant vape. At the same time I noticed that the weather is currently too hot so, apart from the Riva SE's heating up the head more than an eGo-C batt, the weather was not helping, thus my vaping habits together with the above was not helping at all..the SR B heads were not wicking enough..even efter pushing the wick in the spike further down.

I did some math regarding 2.3Ohm on 3.7V vs 2.3Ohm on 3.4V-ish vs 1.8Ohm vs 3.4V-ish and the results were obvious I was vaping closer to LR wattage than to SR wattage.

I was already aware of the warning on ovaleusa.com that using Type A heads in the B's would produce too much leaking. But then I thought that that was exactly what I needed..a greater juice supply to the coil, so I went ahead and broke the rules, and started using A heads in the B's. Although I have to leave the tapered end of the tank empty (filling only up to the cylindrical part of the tank), now the B's are vapable again, with the Riva SE's.

Good points... Something for others to keep in mind - the A spikes have three slots in them - more flow. The B's have one slot in the spike - less flow. If your A's are leaking try a B head and if you're getting dry hits on the B, try an A head

Also ... tight draw, drop the head in 151 proof for a 1/2 hour.

I didn't ever notice the difference in the number of grooves inside the spike, but makes sense.

I stopped soaking atty heads in Vodka due to some rumours of the Vodka damagind the wick. They could be wrong though..
