Ibe had my eGo-C since last tuesday, so far i like it. My atomizer was working just fine, no leaking, no burnt taste, nothing. Everything was great.
But....
I had the "great" idea to take out another atomizer from the blister pack and put this one in some vodka to "clean it up and keep it from gunking up". So i poured some smirnoff in a little glass jar, droped the atti inside it, covered it up and let it rest there for about 2 hours.
When i took out the atti from the vodka, i noticed little white & black "hairs" floating in the vodka. hhhmmm, upon closer inspection of my atti, i saw that those "little white hairs" floating in the vodka, was actually my wick!
Somehow my wick literally disintegrated in the vodka!
So there goes a perfectly good, 100% working atomizer. I guess thats what i get for not following my own advice, witch is, If its not broken, dont fix it!
I know some people make new wicks for their atties, but to be honest, i dont have the materials, nor the patience to do it.
Good thing i got 9 more (5 came with my kit, plus i ordered an aditional blister of 5).
After i installed my second (brand new) atomizer, and even after putting a couple of tanks thru it, i was getting just a little burnt taste, i fixed it by pushing the wick just a bit inside the spike with a paper clip. Now its working like a champ.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, after killing the first atomizer with the vodka, i took it apart just to see if (besides killing its wick) the vodka had at least cleaned it.
The coil was completely black & covered with gunk. I did not see any "cleaning" whatsoever
So im calling this "vodka cleans atties" thing a mith xD
