Just got it yesterday. Taste like burnt plastic. I've tried everything. I was using a VG base liquid and read that it may be too thick.....OK, I can understand that. Diluted it down with some PG and still a PITA. When you click the battery, you can hear it sizzle for about a sec, then stops. Now when I drip directly onto the atty, works great, but when it runs out, my mouth starts burning again. So, since I already bought it, I tore down the atty. Pretty simple, pocket kneive pops out the top tube part. Then you can see the wick matierial. It was all burned. So I just took the whole thing apart. Pretty simple construction. Played with it with some other wick material that I replaced in it, but same problem. So I said, screw it, I took out all the wick material and just let, at least I was hoping, the tank contents drop directly onto the atomizer itself. Still does the same thing. Very little vapor hit. I mean, the atty won't even flood. But when I manually flood it by dripping, it works absolutely great. WTH am I doing wrong? Am I going to have to go to 100% PG? I mean, I'm so sick and tired of having to fill the carts with the A model, but at least I was getting good taste. This just plain sucks. This is starting to get expensive. Really tired of chasing a ghost. Any input would be appreciated.

Been using the "C" for over 3 months, and the only time I get your issue, is when I let the tank run dry.
Maybe you got a bad Atty? Anything possible. Have you tried a different Atty?
Also, after you fill a fresh tank, draw on the mouth piece hard, for a 2nd or two, and that should prime juice to the wick.. These systems work on pressure/gravity drawing juice to the wick, if you don't have juice wicking, you are gonna get the burnt taste...
Also, make sure your tank is aligned properly to the Atty, you can see a rectangle shape around the spike, try and match that up with the rectangle (long way side) of the tank. If you aren't drawing good, rotate 45 degrees...

Any & every ego-c atty you have, take a paperclip & push the the wick into the spike about half way. Bam. Problem fixed. If it persist just push it in a little more. I only vape 100% vg & don't have any problems now. In fact I can hit it hard, puff it like a pipe, & never have to prime hit it anymore.
I had the same problem till I saw the video where cignotinc showing how to clean the atty & made reference as to if it runs dry...key word...push wick in, if it floods pull it out. Truth is, now I really can't get them to flood. I think I would have to push it all the way in basically removing the wick for that to happen.

As far as 100% vg your fine. Especially since you already know how to take it apart which is really easy. What I do is just use a atty till I start to lose flavor & fell at a loss for nic, then plug a new one in. When I run the the blister pack I spend 10min & then clean & dry burn all five & then good to go. So far those atty's really last as long as you maintain them.
Hope this helps. I can still taste that burning tire taste from before. Man it's horrible!

Is it possible to send some love via the internet???? WOW....that did the trick, at least now that burning flavor is over with. Can't say thanks enough. I had read about pushing the wick down, but never understood it like that. Sure enough, once I did it, it started working 100% wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better, to the point I can use it with confidence and not have to carry my a type ego with me. Lost one atty due to my impatience, but that wick was absolutely burnt beyond use, so I'd have to trash it anyway. But, now I know how they work at least........what I tell myself short from feeling like an idiot. My neighbor got one based on my recommendations, and hers works like a freight train with 100% VG......to say I was getting phissed off is an understatement. Thank you so much.....
Woohoo!! Wayyyyyyyyyyyy better is right. Turns it into a totally differant pv for sure & so simple to do.
Well, after a couple of days....NOT impressed. No where near the throat hit like in the ego A model. It's like it doesn't get juice fast enough to the atty. I can hear it sizzle non-stop, whereas before it would only do it for a second or so, then that would be it. Are the atty's on the A bigger than the c's? Also, it taste no where near as good as the A. I even tried using PG and it didn't change anything. Nature of the beast?
I like using lr emdcc better & then tanks just to taste new juices.
Somethings differant with yours then mine though. You mentioned hearing yours sizzle non stop. Out of 10 atty's, 5 of which are LR, I never really have mine sizzle. Kind of wish they would. I do use 100% vg but still don't really get a good sizzle.
Now, I do get a, aggravating, constant suction/whistle sound non stop. I wonder what the difference is?

Thought my eGO-C atty sucked as well....very nasty and thin hits. So bad I considered it no loss to tinker with it. Instead of pushing down the wick, I trimmed the "beard" off flush with the atomizer spike. Still got nasty thin hits. I tore it apart again and the tank cap puncture just didn't look right. So, I did like I absolutely won't do with my 510 and VEC tanks....I plugged the tank in and gave it a 360° twist. It immediately started bubbling and I began to get great but still nasty hits. After one 1.1ml tank the nastiness went away and it really vapes nice and tasty now.
One qualification....I can't chain-hit it 5 or more times like I can with the other systems as the atty won't recharge with juice fast enough. It's fine for two or three pulls but needs to "rest" for 20 seconds or so to juice the atomizer back up. Otherwise, I'm real pleased with it for routine daily use but gotta have the VEC or 510 tanks for wake-up and bedtime hits.
BTW....no leakage as the atomizer head spike is a lot sharper than the VEC and 510s. Twisting the C tanks cuts a perfectly sealing hole in the tank caps.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll try that. Just really kind of frustrated about the whole thing. Now, I just found out that this was made my MFS, and not ego themselves. Talked to a guy at myfreedomsmokes and said that they are a good supplier for ego models and all. Asked if maybe the ego atty's are better or bigger than the MFS ones, he said no. Now, exactly what n9 said, can't really chain vape like on the A model. It's got to be that the juice just isn't hitting the atty quick enough. I mean with the A models, you got that bridge that gives a double flow of juice if you will, each side of the bridge. I can chain puff that thing like a freight train and the only limitation is the battery light blinking. I was really hoping this would have been my last model to buy.....let's see....first the blu, then ego A, then a huge cartomizer you had to inject into (leaked like a seive), then a smokystix dual carto (had to fill it up a LOT and puff like hell to get a lot of vapor volume) and then the whole ego C thing. Wish I would have stayed with the A and just lived with carrying around a small vail of juice or an extra cart or two. But, I at least got two new batteries, new wall charger and only paid 56 dollars for the whole kit, so I'm not out that much, but still, out some. I guess the ego-c would be ideal for those that don't like to take good size tokes and don't want a real good vapor hit, akin to smoking virginia slims or capri's.
Hmm... I took my Ego C out of the package, no adjustments, has been perfect for the past month. Frankly, I am amazed at how well the Ego C performs.
Wish I was that lucky. I read many post about the ego-c's and thought this would be the holy, and final, grail for me. Like engine oil, you find one that works and suits your comfortable oil-change-interval and move on. Maybe I'm still learning my vaping style to suit the type of equipment I need. Gald things are working out for you. You need parts??? LOL!!!
I'd order a pack of joyetech or ovale atty's before you through in the towel. Trust when I say yours doesn't sound anything like mine. I hate it for you. Hope you find something with out any problems.
I've only used LR Atty's from either Ovale or Cignot (Both come in the same black cardboard sleeve, and a 5 count blister pack inside.
I've been using this system since beginning of November, and vaped close to 750ml of juice, figuring approx 5ml a day.
A friend using the same "C" system for about the same time.
My friend, at the end of every day, get's the Atty Hot, and then immediately takes the spike plate off, and burns off the wick daily. He also does a dry burn on the atty coil, and blows out the residue that burns off. Pushes the spike plate back on, and he's good to go the next morning. He swears that he doesn't have to do a "Grain Alcohol" soak until about 10 days in.
I'm going to mirror his maintenance with a fresh pack of Atty's I just got in.
I started w/ 510 system back in 2009, and ended up DD'ing for a few years, before the "C" came around. It's been a no hassle, fill and vape system for me.

New ecig user here and went from blu to ego-c. Had a few issues with dry hits but that's only ever happened with some juice I got from cignot. However I've since used the old "push the wick down into the spike" trick and haven't has issues since. I do use a dedicated atty for each of the 2 juices I vape. I cleaned the first atty I started with using the dry burn method and have been using that atty with no issues. Ego-c rocks for me. I'm using Johnson Creek red oak 100% VG. Island flavor vapes so damn good in the ego.

But, are you getting loads of vapor production? Good solid throat hit akin to smoking a Kool or Newport? I think that maybe I'm assuming that was going to happen with the C's, but by designed with that limited flow going through the small tube and then having to going down the wick AND then hitting the atomizer, it can't give a worthy load of vapor production due to the refill rate has limitations. With the bridge set up, you got to streams of liquid flowing into the atty. What would be cool would be design a tank system that uses the bridge set up. Tank on top of the bridge that would have a constant feed, but then you'd surely develope leaks. If one could develope a system that would open up the tank when pressing the manual battery. Now THAT would be the bomb.
What's the difference between the MFS Ego-C and the actual Joyetech Ego-C's? Was told that they are an approved manufacturer according to the folks at myfreedomsmokes. Do I dare spend another 25 bucks and get Joye eco-C atty's? I mean, the look exactly the same.
Unless they are authorised resellers/partners (like Totally Wicked for example) I would stick to buying original Ovale (designed the eGo-C) or Joyetech (produced the eGo-C) kits, parts and accessories.
Are the ego-t and c batteries the same can i change my into a by using the c attys and cone?? Is the connections diffrent and if so how?
They are both 510 batteries so yes they are compatible between eGo-T and eGo-C kits. But they do have some differences, the eGo-C batteries are a tiny bit longer due to the added feature that shows when the battery is low on charge by changing the button light to different tones of blue.
That's correct, to convert your eGo-T to an eGo-C you only need the corresponding atty base + cone set (and some attys of course).
I bought them here: http://www.heaven-gifts.com/product-402.html and http://www.heaven-gifts.com/product-401.html

Well, I ain't no Schmoe, Joe, but I've got the same situation. Just can't get any satisfaction with this new Ego c. I'll play with it some more tomorrow, but I'll probably just stick with the 808's & clearomizers. Ego C(an't).
