The Wow juice is kind of thick you might want to try a thinner juicce so it wicks better.

as with any new product it will take some time to get familiar with it. Watch some youtube videos of the eGo-T to get more familiar..

Take the tank off again and make sure the bottom of it is punctured.

 

[coachm]

the bottom is puctured.
it is working, getting vapor, just taste burnt.
Not a big fan of vfl liguids either
I have backwoods brew and vapor bomb liguid in the mail.

One thing others have suggested when they get a "dry" hit is to darg on it a couple times without activating the atomizer, to help it wick. Wait a minute then try again.

As for new product taste. Did you blow the priming fluid out of the atomizer?

I had that going on and found out I didn't blow the primer out. Also a supplier suggested to add one drop of vodka or everclear to the tank to thin the juice a little - one drop literally.

^this.
When I got my Tank it tasted burned as well. But in my case I didn't push the tank cartridge all the way in. It really takes quite a 'push' to get the cartridge all the way in.
And I'd try blowing through the atty's battery end with a paper towel below, and even cleaning the inside of the atty a little, then re-prime with a couple of drops of your juice into the atomizer.

nope!! did not blow out priming fluid.... mmmmmm
lets see if i can figure this out lol

 

[coachm]

wooh kinda light headed now lol
i will defenitly blow out the other ego-t!!
and will wait patiencely for my other liguids

After blowing out the priming fluid I then soak it in vodka or everclear for 10 minutes then rinse under hot tap water and let dry over night - another member suggested this to me and it has worked like a charm. Get better vapor and better flavor.

I also had this problem with my tornado t. I blew out as much primer as I could but could still taste it. I've gone through 7 tanks with this atty and it's tasting great with my 24mg VG Ry4.

Hi caoachm.
In your list I didn't see "Blow out the atomizer".....
Blow hard from the battery end, into a napkin. It's not too late. You will notice moisture coming out. Blow 'couple of times until no more moist coming.

Then, put 2 drops directly into the atty hole in the center (NOT the battery side, this time ), attach tank, and vape away..

If unit's quite new, it can also pay off to gently wipe battery (in the battery "hole" e.t.c.) it off with a moist (water) cloth or tissue. Also, you can wipe the inside of the atomizer battery end with a moist, fitted tissue. I.e. generally to remove residues of "cutting oil" from the manufacturing process. While not noticing it in general, even small amounts may influence the taste.

Finally, the atty WILL get better after some usage.
Good luck.

I also blow mine out every night before bed to get the old juice out and to let the atty dry out over night. I'm thinking this will promote a longer atty life. Is this right? The T attys are kind of expensive at $15-$20 so I want as much life out of them as possible.
