I received my eGo-T atty and carts yesterday, which I bought from Liberty-Flights. They only had the blue clear cartridges, which are kind of funky and cheap looking,. It takes away from the elegant look of the cone atomizer and battery. I can't see the clear (white) ones being that attractive either. I also think that the clear tank is only useful for filling purposes and more of a gimic, because after a few vapes, the liquid is already down under the cone. They should make these in opaque colors.
It was hard to take off the cap from the cartridge. Finally off (and a couple of ragged finger nails later), I filled it with liquid, not to the top as had been advised by a couple of people on the Net. I then inserted it into the atomizer which I had already screwed onto the battery. When you insert the cartridge, you have to push down and turn. That opens a hole from which the liquid drips down onto the atty.
My first couple of fills were wonderful. BTW...once you use the cart for the first time, there is a hole in the cap. I find it easier to fill the cart with a syringe then to struggle to get the cap off. It's a nice size hole and you won't have the same problem many have with filling with a syringe that you might have with the joye/eGo cartos or ce2s (in all incarnations).
It vaped on the cooler side, which is good for me as I use dessert vapes, and the atty didn't seem to fry the
juice as a lr atty or carto would do. Then the taste started to get burnt. I notice there was residue on the cart and looked for maintenance videos on youtube. It seems that some of that residue is supposed to be nicotine? I rinsed that cart out in warm running water and it's now drying.
I also decided to blow out the atty and darkened looking
juice started to come out --I guess the juice did get cooked. I blew until all the liquid was gone. I filled a new cart and the taste still isn't the greatest, but not that bad. I am a chain vaper and perhaps it isn't wicking fast enough for me? I'm going to try to slow down my
vaping and see in a while if that helps at all.
It also looks like I'm going to have to get another of these attys this week or soon because the same maintenance video recommended that when you actually clean these attys (he recommended iso alcohol, once a week) you should let them dry over a 48 hour period.
As to leaking. There is no apparent leak but juice is coming out of the battery end of the atty and forming a tiny puddle on the battery itself. This will not be a set-up I can use for my eGo auto batteries but fine for the manual ones.
I will be getting a new batch of Boge 510 regular 3.0 ohm cartos today or Monday (I'm all out right now) and I'm going to check them out side by side.
There is no summary, because the jury/my jury is still out on these.
Much better now.
