Been using my ego-t. Been working great, other then a few problems that was rectified by adjusting wick from the cignot video. Just ordered a few more atts and battery from cignot. They have been GREAT and highly recommend them to everyone.

I am still using my eGo-T
You have to fiddle with them ocasionally... but still working great!
You have to fiddle with them ocasionally... but still working great!
That's where I bought mine. I've had mine for 5 weeks and its been great. I have been following all the negative threads about them just waiting to end up with the problems I've read. I will say that last night I had a little scare. Suddenly the taste turned to a very chemically burned, burning, taste. I pulled out the tank, put it back in, twisted it, blew out the atomizer and nothing would help. The draw started getting hard to pull too. I said well here we go. Everything that the naysayers have griped about is happening.
I decided to try the dry burn cleaning method on the atomizer. I have only done that once and it was on a 510 atomizer but it worked perfectly. I figured even if I ruined the atomizer I wasn't losing anything since it wasn't working anyway. After doing the dry burn, I put some liquid, about halfway, in the tank. Then I tried vaping. I was getting a lot of smoke but it still wasn't tasting like the liquid. I pulled out the tank and put a few drops down into the atomizer and put the tank back in. I decided that I needed to just keep on vaping it until the coil filled up with liquid. After about 5 minutes of doing this I pulled the tank back out. The liquid was gone! A half tank of liquid, gone. I checked the battery connection to see if it leaked out there. Nope. Where the heck did that juice go?? I put more juice in the tank and tried vaping again and this time it was working just like new. PHEW!
The only conclusion I can guess at is that the coil needed that juice to prime it. So, mine is still working great. Now I know what to do if the situation comes up again. Also, I have posted other places that mine tasted like plastic. It doesn't anymore since I have cleaned my atomizers.
I use "Naked Basic" 100% VG with 25mg Nic. I've read all some of the negative reviews but have had a wonderful experience with mine. Also, 3 friends got the same kits and have all loved them. No clogging or loss of vapor up to a month of use for an atty that I have experienced and it is still going strong.
I do get a chemical or burnt taste from time to time. My fix has been to pull out the tank, rotate it a little and put it back in, then take 4 strong pulls without lighting the atty, then try again. It works for me. On my new tanks, I "pierce" them before adding liquid, then pull it out and take the little "torn" plastic circle out that was pierced. Maybe that little piece left inside is burning or obstructing flow into the atty and you aren't getting enough juice into the coil and it is instead "burning" the coil clean.
Either way the chemical taste is rare and easily fixed for me. To be truthful, it usually happens when I'm not paying attention to my tank level and it gets too low. I pull out the tank to rotate it, and notice it is mostly empty!! A new tank fixes the problem but I do need to do 4 hard pulls without lighting. Compared to smoking in NY, juice is cheap, and you should expect to go through a lot with this PV. I use at most 20mL per 2 weeks ($10).
FYI - There are two types of Atty's, I have type2 with the angled piercing piece. Which seems to be prone to not getting juice if you pull on it lightly. The other type seems to flow to much juice. See the "wick" issues for details on differences. And know your PV.

ego-t user here too, once the wick is modified mine worked great, although it is def not 100%vg friendly, but on blends or pg juice it vapes great !
I think that is partially what clogged mine. Plus ran out in a frenzy when I first started vaping and bought LorAnn's Butter Sweet Dough flavoring from Hobby Lobby. I put it in several full bottles of juice that didn't have much flavor. It was after that I read there is an ingredient in it that gums up the atomizer. I used it anyway b/c I didn't want to throw out 3/4 bottles of liquid.
Im vaping 80-20 in mine ( PG/VG ) but I have also vaped 50-50 with no issues at all
Wick height is definitely a key to proper operation in the Ego-T. After several weeks of use, I pulled the piercing plate and cleaned the wick. After adjusting it level with the lower side of the slant cut in the tube and doing a dry burn while the plate was out, it returned to like new performance.
I typ. use ego std batteries, but switch to 3.7v mega 1000mah battery for a few hours will improve the T's atty back to normal. Figure it's just firing the coil better and cleaning the coil some.
