Breaking News:: They have shipped!! VISION ETERNITY TEASER PICTURE WITHIN!!!!! Getting Closer Then Ever!!!!

[WallyO]

I have given mine a little workout last night and today. I too incurred some leakage in the battery connection. Not much but enough. I'll never understand why manufacturers insist on the airflow through that stem connection.
I put a tank on mine but was not thrilled. Kept getting that off, not wet enough taste. Appeared to be feeding OK and the wicks looked wet but just did not deliver for me. Fortunately I had two tanks and the soft silicone caps around. I threw so many out when I swore off those tanks. Glad I kept a couple.
I am extremely happy with it just adding the drops without the tank. Although I will try and do a wick with a higher resistance next. Mine came out to 1.7. It's OK for me for occassional use but not continually. Gets a little too hot for me. I'll also try multiple heavier wicks and see what I get from that.
Has anyone tried SS as a horizontal wick with cotton or cheesecloth wick ends to get the juice up? Using the cotton just stuck in the ends, not in the coil area. Sounds like it may work OK and that also would avoid any cotton burning issue and still allow a dry burn.

Edit:I also put a plastic drip tip in mine. I do not like the coolness on my lips (temp wise) of the metal tips. That's one reason I am not overly fong of the SRT tank mouthpieces as well. I may try boring one of those out to accept any tip.

Ok so now I'm both a little peeved and perplexed and decide to take the loss in the name of vaping science - this thing is coming apart.

Wow, leaked so bad you had to dismember it (in the name of science of course) on the second day? Starting to wish I would have let this one pass me by, but the hype gets me every time.

I would not get to worried yet, this is how many of us out of the 100 they sold? Could just be a quality control issue at this point. So far reseating mine is working very well, no leaking at all and working wonderfully.

i haven't have ANY leaking, but still haven't installed a new coil. Will be VERY careful when i do

When I cleaned mine I put it posts down on top of my kitchen counter and gave it firm, even pressure, not really hard, just made sure everything lined up. If you push to hard you will break the posts, I just used my thumb to press it down after wiggling it back into place. That was a few hours ago and it is still vaping like a champ and not leaking one drop. I think it's a great unit with a minor fixable flaw at this point.

I will say I am thinking about cutting off my spike as I see no sense in it being there if I am not going to use the tanks. I will try a tank out just for ....s and giggles, you never know it may actually work better since it will only be wicking the juice from the tank instead of pooling it in the built in tank. Less juice in the reservoir will mean less chance of leaking. I am just not a fan of the tanks. I am also not putting in a full 40 drops of juice, backed it down to 15 to 20, which is still a lot more than I would be able to do dripping normally. I am going to vape it dry and then increase the drops till I get it to leak again as the night goes on. Will report back what I find out.

 

[DarklyNoon]

I too have been keeping it at 20 drops max and it hasn't been leaking.

Did you completely disassemble the bottom piece? If so, how did you reconnect the wire going from the "silicon" post to the 510 connection's center post?

Yeah, I've been using mine constantly with the tank, and even after a rebuild, not a single leaked drop. That's more than I could say for the eGo-C or -T.

I'm pretty sure this device was made to be used with the tank all the time, because if all you wanted was a wick type atomizer there are alot of cheaper alternatives, the phoenix bully that got vapes sells is an example.

 

[KrasH]

I didn't pull that piece completely apart, I just pulled the wick and coil up a bit to readjust them and recenter the coil, then wiggled it back down into place. After that is when I made sure everything was lined up and did the gentle but firm pressure on the counter top. I will save the total disassemble for when this coil has to be replaced. I mainly wanted to see if I could stop the leaking without going to crazy on fixing what should be working out of the box....and as I unscrew it from the 510 connection, yep still bone dry.

Yeah my C leaked horribly, it's why I hate the tanks and started looking for better products.

I wanted a drip quality vape but with something that would hold more than a few drops at a time. I am getting that now, but I disagree it was meant to be used with a tank all the time or they would not give you the two choices of tops, drip or tank. Why give the ability to do dripping if it's not meant to be used that way? They might have been hoping most will use the tank and like I said, if it works better and gives me better performance than the stock eGo setup did, I will give the tanks a chance. I have certain juices I prefer to drip with now and this just gives me a much better capacity, even if the 40 drop capacity was over exaggerated some. If I can get this up to 25 or 30 drops without leaking, I will be happy. Tanks at 1ml or dripping with a 1ml internal capacity both sound good, but if the dripping is .75ml instead, that is cool with me.

It's not quality control it's an obvious design flaw. Your numbers may reflect how many were sold the however the number of those who have actually received it and used it for more than a day are about 25% of that. With those numbers the % reporting leaks is staggering.

 

[Startle]

Yes it was completely disassembled with no need to reassemble because it would yield the same result.

Once you are "wiggling" the posts to change the coil there is no avoiding the leakage.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case. The device was being showcased and sold as a rebuild-able high volume drip atty with the option of using a few obscure tanks with it.

 

[KrasH]

If reseating it fixed my issue, I don't see it as a design flaw. If however it just wiggles loose again and starts leaking, then it is most certainly a design flaw. At this point I see it as the weakest link in the whole product and will wait to see what happens with my unit and with how this gets handled as the days go on. I think if it can be proven to them without a doubt it is a design flaw we should be able to get a replacement section to fix the issue with this first batch. This unit was sold at more than just GotVapes, so we don't know the real numbers at this point. I can only go based off what I saw was on hand at GotVapes when I first saw the listing, which was 100 units and I have not counted up how many of us have made a complaint about it leaking but I don't think there was over 10 of us....not 25%.

I am not going to jump to any conclusions yet, only been using it for 24 hours now and I seem to have stopped my leaking issues. Besides I am also giving them a chance to fix it if that is the case.

kwcharlie,

Why don't you post a pic of your setup with the Eternity on it. Maybe we can all learn something by using that as a reference...

Point made - if 10 out of even 50 people that have used the unit for more than one day have made the leaking observation then that is 20% - the 50 is most likely significantly less which brings the % much higher.

Wishful thinking that they would send out replacement parts to fix the issue but you never know...

it shouldn't be too much cost to replace that single piece if it is redesigned. In this business it seems we do have more 'pull' when it comes to hardware being replaced when flawed from the factory. I am thinking about the Telescope mod of course, the whole issue with venting and their exchange program.

If I don't get any more leaking I am going to just replace my coil in a couple of days, seat it the same way I did and see if the leaking starts back up.

I'm guessing it was designed to be used interchangeably. If you look up the Mark-T Infinity, another rebuildable that can switch back and forth between drip mode and tank mode, you'll notice some pretty striking similarities. Even the names... Infinity/Eternity. This had to have been what they were basing the Eternity on, but fortunately for us, the Eternity is a fraction of the price.

Yeah my C leaked horribly, it's why I hate the tanks and started looking for better products.

I'd give this one a go with the tank. The drip cup should catch any extra liquid, which would then be sopped up by the wick, unless you're really trying to suck the thing dry. The eGo-C didn't have anything extra to catch excess liquid pulled through the chamber (if more was being pulled through than the atomizer could evaporate), hence all the leaks.

 

[Robby]

been using it since 3pm yesterday...switching back and forth from tank setup and dripping setup...both working excellent..not a single drop leaked anywhere at all..have been checking the connection ever since reading others having problems and its staying dry. Sorry to hear of others misfortune, but I'm still glad I ordered another one as this is by far the best ego style tank setup I've used and a great dripper.
