An introduction and a plea for help.

Hi guys,

I'm Adam from West Sussex, and I have a big problem.

I bought this kit 650mAh Twin EGO-T with LED (Black) 53402 eGo as the price seemed to be pretty good (although I now wish I bought it from the UK)

Out of the box I charged the batteries and tried it out and this disgusting, noxious oily taste and vaper came out. After seeking advice here on the forums I thought it might have been primer, I blew it out (nothing was there) tried again and it was even worse, to the point were I couldn't even hold the vapour in my mouth it was that bad.

I dry burned it for a second and the smell was coming from the coil.

After watching a youtube video I learnt it might have been some kind of manufacturing chemicals so, on the advice of a fellow forum member, I got some vodka and let the attys sit in it for a couple of hours. I blew out as much as I could and then left them for about 18 hours in my airing cupboard to make sure they were fully dry.

I hooked them up to the batteries just now and the coils aren't heating up, they both make a crackling / popping sound but there is no sign that the coils are firing up.

Do you think both of these attys were screwed from the start??

I have never read of anyone else having the same terrible experience I have had, the taste was not primer that much I'm sure.

At least the batteries work I suppose....

Any thoughts?

Factories in China dont have much in the way of quality control so its possible that you just got a bad atomizer to start with.Ive had some that were horrible from the get go and ended up tossing them in the trash. Are you priming the atties with e-juice before firing them up? You can burn one pretty quickly if they are 100 percent dry.

Also just having vodka residue on them they arent going to produce much vapor if any. Try filling the tank if it isnt already full and attaching it to the unit and let us know if it works and what it tastes like

 

[fehk2001]

yes, i think that is because ( china ) made products failes again, have you even tried to change Atomizers, i have heard that some people bought 5 ato but only one works thats why people dont really like it
The burn taste is from the Atomizers i am pretty sure

 

[Rypp]

Thanks for the quick responses guys, I think they are probably both dead now, the coils / wick are not even glowing red when I fire the battery so I guess either they are still damp (which I doubt) or they are dead.

Oh well, I already ordered a CE4 Clearo just in case these attys broke. Will probably not bother with them again.

Cheers

Hi Rypp,

Have you made sure that the t-tank is well pushed into the atomiser so that it pierces the tank? I've never used the t-type system myself, but I have heard that lots of folks have problems with them leaking.

If I was you, I'd buy some Boge cartomisers & use them with your batteries. Or maybe try some clearomisers like Vision ego's or Vivi Novas? Here is a list of good UK e-cig & e-liquid vendors -

whats the ohms CE4 Clearo did you order? because if you ordered e.g. 2.4-2.8 ohms or above clearo with your 3.7v batteries it may not be powerful enough to give you the best experience

 

[Rypp]

Thanks Chrissie I appreciate the advice.

Fehk2001: I didn't even know that mattered, this is what I ordered CE4 V2 Long Wick Clearomizer Green which is 2.2ohm, hopefully that will be alright. I had no idea I needed to take that into consideration.

 

[Chrissie]

Rypp, 2.2ohm should be fine on your ego battery.

The lower the ohm, the hotter they will burn, producing more vapour & throat hit.

For me, 1.7 ohms on a 3.7 volt battery is the sweet spot but everyone varies.Keep all of your juices!!!! Ones you try right now as youre getting off analogs , you might not like and then 3 months later you will love them.

 

[fehk2001]

2.2 should be fine, hopefully it works and you can get off real cigs , when you get your new clearo fill up with e liquid and let it sits for 30 minutes , puff it a few times and you should have a much greater experience than your last device

 

[fehk2001]

ha ,it took me two weeks to HATE analogs

 

[Rypp]

I haven't touched an analogue in about 7 weeks, after smoking for some 17 years.

I picked up one of these Electronic Cigarette Standard Starter Kit - E Cigarette - Electric Cigarette Kit a couple of months back and they are ok, but a carto only lasts 2 days now, and they started to feel a bit unfulfilling. Can't wait to start using my ego it is a pain having to recharge my VIP twice a day. it's only a 180mah battery lol.

Well done man, you are doing good , hopefully it works for u in longer term .
Btw maybe your batteries starting to worn out ? Thats why you dont get the same pleasuare as before
When you have ego , make sure u dont put it to very warm.place or it has risk of leaking
