I have had that problem before -- a persistently bad taste from an an ego-T atty. In my particular case, it turned out that that the wick wasn't touching the coils enough; so even though the tank was full, it was dry (or semi dry) burning often.
I solved the problem by removing the hat and...
Ha! I think I almost wrote a dissertation inspired by your last post in http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/139915-new-ego-tank-system-54.html#post2869746
I would be willing to bet that you happen to have a pretty darned good atty in your hands. And if it's a good atty...
You're probably working with a good atty. My best one (which I have not modified in any way) has a very easy draw. On that one I do notice some difference when I plug the center hole at the battery connection; but, like you, it's a marginal difference -- hardly any.
As far as the 700% area...
Yeah, it's fun to tinker and get good results. But I'm really looking forward to the next generation. I sincerely hope that they have an eye on this forum.
Drilling through the side as Stonemull described is what I tried first. I kind of discovered it by accident:
I drilled a 1/16" hole in the side of my tightest dragging atty based on Kardenm's suggestion here...
Stomemull, that video is so great. Thanks!!!
So tell me, was there any plastic or anything just on the inside of the side-hole on the brass battery connector? What it looks like from the video is basically airspace and the couple of wires until you get to the little plastic cap with the center...
Oh my gosh! Don't throw them ego-T attys away! Please, just drop them in an envelope and mail them to me. Tight draw, leaking, flooding...I'll take em!
(But a dead heating coil does == trash)
Hey kardenm, I've found another way to improve airflow. It seems like you're pretty happy with the drilled holes. But if you ever try this sometime, I'd like to hear your opinion...
I've figure it out and I'm rather excited about it! :2cool: I have adjusted three new attys with fairly tight draws, into attys with very, very nice airflow.
It's all about that first piece from the left in the photo above. Though it has a nice hole right through the center, that gets sealed by...
Has anyone tried plugging the side holes in the ceramic cup as a flooding preventative, so that juice doesn't spill over into the mesh? (or at least not as much).
Yeah, I've tried that. It affects it a little, but not enough to make much difference. I mean a couple of my attys are like sucking through a skinny red WD-40 straw -- not very enjoyable to vape with. And they came that way new (I know, bogus!). All the cleaning in the world doesn't help either...
A question for Uncle Screwtape or anyone else who've dissected one of these attys -- from way back here in the thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/139915-new-ego-tank-system-47.html#post2713280. And specifically this image:
All my attys are still technically...
You already got the battery, just pick up a 510 atty for $7 or $8 bucks and it screws right on. For an even better drip on the 510, check this easy mod: YouTube - Removing The Bridge (mod)
So, I have noticed a considerable variance between new Ego-T attys bought at the same time from the same vendor using the same juice. Some of them drag nice and easy. Some of them drag really hard. I like them when they're nice and easy.
Does anyone know what's going on with the inconsistency...
