I've been using the eGo-T for a few months now and here's the thing. I love the premise of the tank system because I like using many different juice flavors, I don't really have an all day every day vape. The problem is that I seem to have to spend more time fiddling with it than vaping. I am constantly having to adjust wicks to combat flooded attys or dry, burnt hits. Also the wicks just never seem to last as long as the atty. I haven't had much luck with any of the diy wick replacement methods either. I've been through several attys, both LR and regular, and they seem to do fine for a couple of weeks then the problems start. Yes I do blow it, by mouth, out a few times a day when changing tanks. I also clean it at least once a week by removing the wick needle and dry burning. Nothing seems to help.

My question is this, can anyone with both eGo-T & C experience tell me if the C is any better or just more of the same? I am considering the C conversion kit. Will the T tanks fit the eGo-C?:blink::blink::unsure::unsure:

While it is true that the C atomizers are easier to clean, they require a different body than the T. The T has the atty built into the tank surround, the C does not. You would need to buy new tank bodies with the C's.

Most problems arise with taking too forceful a hit on them causing leaking etc. They do not draw like a cig. To avoid dry hits I primed the atty itself, and then took 'priming puffs' on them prior to firing the battery. I used them, T and then C, for over a year. I never had the problems you describe, however I never pulled the atty apart (the wick needle) nor did I dry burn it. I soaked them in hot, not boiling, distilled water and if I had let them get too plugged up some everclear.

You might, perhaps, be better off using cartos. You can cap them with a carto condom to keep them wet when not vaping them (when you switch off flavors).

Thanks for your tip but I would need a lot of cartos. At current I have a rotation of about 10 juices and usually use at least 3-4 different ones a day.

Actually, the standard capacity Boge cartos might be a good fit for you. They're cheap and you can keep a bunch of them filled with whatever juices you like most on any given day. Here's a deal at SureVapes that makes about $1 a piece:
Boge Mix n Match (5 Boxes)

Another option might be to use small CE3 clearomizers and have a few filled with different flavors. These cost about $2 a piece and are more work to fill (using a syringe and filling upside down), but IMO the flavor and vapor production is excellent on standard 3.2v eGo style batteries. Here's a deal on 5 packs of the CE3 bottom coil clearmoizers:
CE3 - 5 Pack

Other clearomizer options I've used with relatively great results would be the E1 (also at DiscountVapers) and the CE4+ (aka Stardust, and now available in a rebuildable version).

FWIW - I didn't use the eGo-T, but I did have the eGo-C and I've found that cartos and clearos are a much better option over the default tank/atty of the eGo-C.

Let me state those boges look like a killer deal but the CE3 looks more like it for me. Let me make sure I got it right. The hold liquid like the tanks with no cotton but the atty is all sealed up inside with no finicky wick to mess with? If so would I be able to use different juices in them with not much residual flavoring? Would they fit my ego batteries without looking getto?

Yes, the CE3 is a bottom coil clearomizer (no filler) design and the only finicky part is the filling. I've changed juices in mine several times and it usually only takes a few puffs for the previous juice to work through the wick and the new flavor to come through.

As for looking ghetto on your batteries, you can get a shorty cone to cover the outer eGo threads and use any 510 connected carto/clearo on your batteries:
Silver eGo Shorty Cone

Did all that for 6 months then finally gave up- I was so excited to being off the nasties that I gladly did all the fiddling with leaks, etc. Then I went to Clearomizers, massive difference, and plan to use the ViVi Nova next. My clearomizers are CE4+ but also called Vision, etc., all with mixed reviews. I do not want anything with a filler material or that nasty rubber tip- and I love the clear part. Ego batteries are good but I will get a KGO for my Nova.

So I've been thinking and I think I am going to give the Boges a try. With that deal I could just use a different carto for each flavor I vape. The site linked doesn't give much info on them though. Can someone elaborate on the differences of 1.0 vs 2.0 and, also how much juice they hold full and XL vs. regular?

I did the eGo-T for over 6 months with all the tips, etc and finally gave up. I loved the clearos and got 10 at one time- I also use a lot of dif juices at one time.

Then I have some c's to sell you- they were no better than the a or b to me. My opinion, ha.

That doesn't make much sense since the a's and b's are different types of tanks that fit the eGo-c's and t's. So not sure you know what you're talking about. But if you have some c's you want to get rid of you could PM me. If they're joyetech. :)

I think the basic ego delivery systems suck. I use glass carto tanks and they work great on ego batts with the right resistance carto in them. Maybe try a DCT tank first and see how you like it before investing in more expensive glass tanks. But for me carto tanks are the answer and I switch flavors ALOT too. Good luck! bnrk

I change flavors myself quite often and love the clearos. They allow me to see how much juice I have left. Great flavor and VP and I can make 1 last me 2 months with a little tender love and care. They are as close to dripping as I've found. I bought a bunch of the small ones and filled em up with different juices and change out depending what I'm in the mood for. I'm recently testing the vision clearos aka. stardusts but find it doesn't wick as well as the CE3 clearos.

I don't know diddly about the T but I like my C.
I did what you suggest, randomly putting a juice on an atty and couldn't get more than an average of 2 weeks out of an atty. They needed cleaned and most didn't survive my professional ultrasonic. 2 weeks for $5 isn't bad but I'd like better.
I've found keeping one flavor to an atty has some lasting a very long time (I think I'm up to 5 weeks on one) and others are still going at 2 weeks although they could use changed I'm just too cheap. I think the main difference is I don't need to dry burn and ultrasonic them when they've been kept to the same juice.

Yes it will do what you ask and only takes a few puffs to get the ghost of the former juice gone (except for coconut, I'm so intolerant of that nothing will overpower it), but the attys don't seem to last as long. It seems the worst atty killer of the juices is the one that will determine how long they last.



Then I have some c's to sell you- they were no better than the a or b to me. My opinion, ha.

Uhh, so why don't you make a good offer to the OP??? Or simply PF a cone/base/atty/tank since you're obviously not going to use them.

I have thought abt putting all I have on a list and try to sell it- just have not yet.
