Grimm don't BS, all the peeps that are going on and on about these Ego-T's I just don't understand, I too think they totally suck and I'm not impressed one bit, with all the excellent mods and great vapor and taste performing units we have out today, Reo Grand, VV Ali'i Phidias and on and on and on these Ego T's don't compare, they also don't compare to just dripping into a LR or reg 510 Atty with an Ego Batt which puts out way more flavor and vapor, you go Grimm, I'm with Grimm and you on this one !

Working fine, that said with the lr-attie AND the right juice it is. I think back of the GG time: the cleaning, tweaking, burning, failing, spending loads of money, all the different parts, corrosion etc etc, the ego-t is great value, easy to maintain and always works. The reo and ali'is are awesome as well but different for sure. All in all the ego-t is good!!!

I hate my eGO-T for the simple fact the T attys are garbage. I can get maybe 2ml of great taste/vaping out of them. Then they start tasting like ...... Burnt Taste all the friggin time. I spent $70 on attys or so and am down to 2 new ones. F that. It's now collecting dust. It's ok to maybe get started and get off analogs, but its not an allday PV.

Compared to what I had, the Tank system rocks, but it isn't what I wanted it to be. I miss the flavor. I see that this industry is having growing pangs, so maybe with the infux of all the new people, the ONE PERFECT SYSTEM will get invented!? I'm looking at a juice feeder system, myself. One trick with tank I found that actually works for me is cleaning the atty with Everclear. Hope that helps someone! I L-O-V-E-D my tank the first week...

Before buying an eGo-T watch the following video as he speaks the truth.
YouTube - GrimmGreen's Channel
I bought one & it is a POS IMHO.
If I am banned for this post so be it as I want to save some people some money on something that does not deliver.

:vapor: louis :vapor:

Grimm also likes clearomisers???

I saw that review on his chanel and I also commented on his chanel. IMHO Grimm doesn't have the technical savvy to effectively troubleshoot his eGo T.

Switched, not for nothing even though I think he does, but everyone isn't paying to have to use technical savy to vape, this is sold as a plug and play vape unit. People want to pull it out fill it and be able to vape away, you would think by now that these could be so simple as well as give and awesome vape with out all the fiddle faddling around with them don't ya think ?

Sorry Matt I believe you missed the bubble on that one.

To date I have been satisfied with my eGo T. I have been going on 3 weeks now. The first hour I wasn't impressed, the 2nd oooh baby yup this is it. I will not deny you do not get the flavour of dripping, but it is more convenient than dripping. It had its uses adn right now I enjoy it fully in the workshop. Take a couple of toots and put back in my shirt pocket.

OTOH I have tried bottom feeders and I was not impressed with them after the dust settled. However, in all fairness I have never tried a REO. IMHO too much BS to get one and because of only a soso experience with BFs, I passed.

How long will and eGoT atty last? That is the key question. If I get 3 months out of one I will be happy. I vape 100% VG as you know, not all liquids wick as well as others in it. It is not a plug and play device. I have posted it about it elsewhere on the forum that it is not a P&P device and it is not recommended for newbies.

My Blackberry Menthol absolutely rocks in it. As you know I am fussy, but this thing does work as advertised. The only question is how long the atty lasts? Some folks lost their atties in days, some folks have been going strong for weeks some 6 to be exact. I look at how long the individual has been vaping when forming an educated opinion.

Grimm I believe received a sub performing product. I watched his vid more than once and his atty in simply not wicking. I do not have to jerk mine off and can easily pull 5, 6,7 times in a row without any issues or leakage. Is Grimm full of it? No! But he definitely is vaping a dud.

True, with a caveat. I plugged and played mine. After nine days it started to be hard on the draw. I rinse it with alcohol, put a BBM tank on the next day (after it had dried) and no problems. Tried my beloved RY4 again, nope within 1/2 a tank it started to falter. Back to BBM no problems.

Grimm also fully endorses clearomisers and the MAP Tank, which used CE2s as an engine. I have tried up to V3 on the CE2s, burnt once shame on you, burnt twice shame on me.

I have allot of respect fro Grimm, but of late I have to take some of his reviews with a grain of salt. For the uneducated individual, that could present a problem. Grimm said so. Ummmmm...

IMO:

the MAP tank is great. using it at 4.8v on my ProVari.

eGo T attys suck. Period. Out of the 10 attys I tried I didn't get more than 1 day of good vaping out of them. NOT one day. I guess I received 10 duds then. I've read enough posts on ECF to know I'm not the only one. And IMO anyone who says they use their T attys for a week, yet alone two or three, are [blank]..... I let your imagination fill in the blank.

I don't care how tech savvy you are, how long you've vaped either.. I've started on the eGO T and have experienced nothing but frustration once it starts to taste burnt, & at over $10 for one atty that lasts me for one day, I can say the Tank attys are garbage.

Ahem, just for the record. I've been using the same two regular (2.1Ω) atties and the same two tanks for almost two months now. I did nothing to mod or fix them. Blew out the primer gently through the battery end, inserted an empty tank into the atty and twisted it 180 degrees, removed, filled with my favorite ejuice and vaped.

No leaking, no burnt taste, no issues. I cleaned them twice with boiling distilled water, brief soak in vodka, and careful dry burn (after letting them air dry for a few hours). Once a or twice a week I vape a tankful or two of unflavored eliquid to clean the old juice residue--I believe it helps. I vape the unflavored until the juice in the tank runs clear.

A week ago I received my first LR (1.8Ω) atty and it's been working perfectly fine, too, with no modifications.

YMMV, of course.
