Right. It's one thing to be satisfied with an ecig the day it arrives. It's all new and different. It's quite another matter to still be satisfied with the product a week later. I'm still satisfied. This product is continuing to work, just fine. In this post, I'm going to attempt to describe some of the subtle nuances of the Joye Ego-T.
Leaking. First of all, I was told that this product would not leak. That continues to be true, except under one condition. Thin juices just pour out of the bottom of this thing. Even though I was told that pure VG would be too thick and wouldn't wick, that is absolutely not true. Not True. In case I'm not making myself clear, with the Joye Ego-T, almost-thick-as-honey-VG-ejuice works absolutely perfectly. This is great, because I prefer VG. Sure, if you get OCD on puffing, you will vape faster than the wicking can handle, and get a dry hit.
Dry Hit. Of course, there's a way to get around the over-vape-dry-hit. The easiest is to set it down, standing on its end such that the mouthpiece is facing up, and go to the restroom or get a drink of water. In other words, put the dang thing down for a minute. You can also take a few hard puffs without engaging the battery, which will cause more juice to hit the atty. Then puff away.
How To Hit It. I don't really know what to call them, but hits that are too hot and burn the crap out of your throat are rather easy to get with this piece, unless you know what you're doing. You know how it is.. You take a slow hit that seems to condense the eliquid into a fantastic cloud, but it rakes the back of your throat with hot coals. This is easy to do with the Joye Ego-T, if you're used to something like the Boge Leo. It takes a little getting used to, but the Ego-T will perform quite well if you knock off that behaviour. I start by taking a slow pull, then speed it up to a hard drag. It can also help to take little sips, for lack of a better description. Pull with your mouth, and not your lungs, like drinking soda with a straw, until you are familiar with what it takes to get that scalding hit. It's easier to blow .... vape out of your mouth than put up with it in your lungs. In case you missed my point, entirely, you do not want the scalding hit. Oh, and the pull is pretty easy. There's not a ton of resistance, but there is some. I like it.
Condensation. Since you are vaping liquid, you will always have condensation. There is no way around this. The condensation doesn't build up fast enough to be a problem, except one time. I was chain vaping, and didn't wipe out the atomizer with a tissue for probably a day or two. I ended up getting a gurgling sound, which absolutely annoys me. I should add that the atomizer continued to work, just fine. This gurgling didn't effect the performance of the piece, whatsoever. There was no juice in the battery connection, either. Of course, there's going to be a tiny bit of condensation at the connection, but it is always a small amount, never builds up past a certain point, and is always in one spot that is easy to clean with only the corner of a t-shirt. Honestly, you don't really have to worry about cleaning this thing, unless you get .... about it. I do, every time I switch out a tank, just for the sake of being uppity.
Cleaning Tanks and Atomizers. Yes, clean them. Pull the pieces out of the tank with a pin and soak them in rubbing alcohol with your atomizer. Rinse them all in hot tap water, blow them out, and lay them on a piece of toilet paper to dry. Make sure you stand the atomizer on its end, battery connection up, so that it dries evenly. If you lose the innards to the mouthpieces on the tank, don't worry. They're not really necessary. They just catch condensation so you don't get drips in your mouth. By the way, if you do get juice in your mouth, it's mostly water.. Remember, condensation. I still wouldn't just sit drinking that stuff, though. I'm sure it still has some nicotine in it. You just don't need to freak out about it.
Battery Life. Bloody hell. I selected the 1000 mAh option, instead of the 650. Follow my lead, people. I vape hard for a day, and can't seem to drain this sucker. I switch back and forth between the two batteries that came with it, just for the hell of it. I'm going to run one down to nothing on one of my days off. Heh, can't seem to get up the gumption to try that on a work day. I need both batteries at full capacity. It's a habit I got into when still using my wee lil' 808 manual. Oh, speaking of manuals, manual is the only option for the Ego-T. That is fine. I much prefer manuals, anyway. Sure, automatics don't go off in your pocket, but neither does my Ego. The button is small and has a shut-off function. If you click it 5 times in two seconds, the whole unit turns off. Neat. I'm not so good that I can get it every time, so I just wail on the thing until it turns off. It helps to yell whilst doing this.
Tanks. They hold something like one millilitre of juice. One and a half? I don't know. I don't count the drops. I just fill them and go. All I know is that, at work, vaping pretty often, one tank lasts me for three hours. I'm vaping some pretty weak nicotine concentrations, though. Not that ecigs are purposed as a cessation device, but I am using mine for just that. I'm using a 4.5 mg per ml concentration. Anyway, one tank lasts me three hours, so I fill up all the tanks it came with, put them in the little bag (that also came with the unit), and I'm good for a day. Keep in mind that you will want to wipe off the outsides of the tanks you've just removed from the atomizer, because there will be a bit of condensation on the outside of it. As far as longevity, my tanks are lasting quite well. I've filled up each of them often, and by pulling off the bottom cap. I'm told that I should get a blunt-tipped syringe to save wear on the caps, but I don't really want to. I think the temptation to inject unflavoured ejuice directly into my blood stream would be to great, haha! Of course, I'm joking. Anyway, snapping the bottoms on and off the tanks works just fine.
Six days, and the Joye Ego-T is still the best ecig I've ever had.
