Ego - c , B-type?

[Shaka Zuluf]

I don't know what could be the cause of your problems: mine B type works flawlessly, same as A. Both joyetech. I think you just got bad sample.
On our national e-cig forum nobody reported any problems. One guy had a small leaking issue - caused by bad(not Joye) tank.

Only issue I had was "burned" taste from time to time, caused by silicon caps. Removed them and returned plastic ones, no problem since.

We'll if officially stopped using my type B. I ended up trying my type B with all different liquids and thicknesses. Back to A.

Also I know Type B only come with standard atty's but I feel they burn hotter. Almost like my LR with my type A. Ive done a few taste tests (bc I dont have an Om reader) and my LR and SR (with the Type B) taste the same while the SR (type A) doesnt taste like SR(type B). When I dry burn my attys, the burning characteristics point to similar results to my taste tests as well. I'm not 100% sure, again bc I cant test at my house, but it was just interesting.

I ordered 2 more of the B cones from Vaperite. You all got me nervous about the joytech ones having issues. That and I figure I'd snag 2 more since they use the A atties and I have a lot of those. Going to be really confusing if I get one that actually uses the B atties LOL

As a side note, has anyone used there silken A atties? They're only $19 on the vaperite site, but I haven't tried them yet. All my atties are from ovale that I have right now.

My C-A is a Joye, and so is my B. Haven't had a single problem with them.
I got my trial kits from cignot.com For $20 you get a cone, tank, and atty, and a soft cap, which I don't use.

Update on my B's - got my Joye B heads and holders from Heaven Gifts today - 4 days shipping!! That's been much faster than say last year... last orders have come in within 5 days.

I got some 'upgrade' batts and PT's - work as you might expect - you can tell the difference between the high mode and the constant mode (3.3v)- I vaped the first new B dry without a leak or burning - vaping DV's Ylang Ylang - VG with VG nic base. Great flavor! I grabbed an old t tank with the soft cap - no stoppage of airflow that I got with the Ovale B on the soft cap - but the Ovale vapes well with the hard cap - just still getting some leakage in less than a quarter of a tank about 50% of the time, even after a vodka cleaning? It may be an odd one - haven't tried other Ovale heads yet.

The heads appear to be the same - joyetech with a larger B and Ovale with a B - the A lr's I have are marked "LR" as well, but those are A's. The Ovale metered out at @2.4Ω. The one Joye I have running is at 2.3-2.4Ω going from one to the other and back

My joye T attys came in around 2.1 to 2.3Ω - but most in the 2.1-2.2 range - might be why the t's tend to burn some juices and the c's don't?? I'm thinking the conductivity of the spike is part of it because with the eGo mega's - with cartridge/filler, I was vaping the LR's that came in at 1.5Ω on the meter without any of the burning I experienced with the T's. Not as close of contact with the coil and the mesh wouldn't transfer the heat like a solid spike would. So... perhaps the .1 or .2Ω difference is not affecting the spike in the c's as much as the t's. Wouldn't think that would do it, but it's my best answer at this point.

BTW, as a side note, speaking of the megas and earlier - I have about three old eGo batts that are really about to croak. Originally black, now shining stainless - absinthe is bad on black coatings They're not holding charge like they used to and for the first time I've experienced where the led on the button grows dim and fades away (these don't have 'cutoffs' ... next hit it's back but if you hold onto it, it will fade. I've never experienced that - I've 'blown out' batts on lrs or from 'dry burning' but never really had one 'run out' on me - this being close to three years of vaping! Again, I have several PV's going so the mAhs and total time for batts are 'split up'.

I'm on my second tank - about 1/4 down from full - no problems... and I've been power vaping it mostly. So far so good on the Joye B eGo-c's.

I just got my JoyTech Ego-C Bs (LR) today and I'm trying them now. I opted for the 1000 mah stainless set, and I think that I'm going to be happy with them. I want to try them several days before offering an opinion. I can say right now that they are easy to setup and begin to use, and both appear to be working just fine right out of the box.

I'm using the type a heads in my type b seems to work fine

From what I've read, low resistance heads work fine on either A's or B's, but the same is not true with standard resistance heads. I don't have any standard resistance A heads to try.

 

[Tom10]

I've tested my new Ego C type Bs (LR) for a day now, and I'd have to say that flavor from various juices is better than anything I've tried. I did test one dark, thicker juice, and it didn't do well at all. I was able to clean it out easily, and I'm now using only light colored, regular viscosity juices. I didn't mean this as a criticism. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I've found the standard res.. heads work fine. The one LR I had also worked well but I like the flavor best on the SR's - for my flavors of course.

Ordered the $19 ego-c atties from vaperite yesterday. I believe they are silken brand or something. Find out if they're any different this week. For anyone that is interested. I'll post back in here the results.

I ordered two 5 packs of the Siken heads from vaperite. I can only get 2-3 days of vaping before the heads start to fail. I am going to try the Joye heads next before I go back to my Ego T. Has anyone else had experience with the Siken heads?

 

[Riffy]

They are working on mine but I get a leak every time when the tank gets to 25% full. They are lasting the same amount of time as the joye ones though. Think the wick in them might be a little different or something, because I've never had a leak on my ego-c till I tried these.

I'll be ordering the joye ones next time too. :-(

 

[Kent C]

I think I got two bad 'holders' from Ovale - one A, one B. The A, doesn't seat fully but doesn't leak, but the B does with less then 1/4 tank - otherwise fine. Since, I've gotten 2 joye B's from heaven gifts - no problem with either of them.

 

[Riffy]

I still can't decide if these silken atties are different or not. I put 2 new ones in yesterday and didn't have any leaks. I run 2 ego-c while 2 charge, that's why 2 atties at the same time. Might have been a fluke on the first 2 or it might be time to put new caps on them too. I've had the same caps on for a while now. See what happens in the next few days or so.

I've gotten one bad A and one bad B also. One (silken) the hole on top was actually to small for a tank to fit in it. The other (ovale) just totally fell apart and would never hold together again. *shrugs* Spare parts I guess. That's out of 8 total. 4 A's & 4 B's and the ovale one I broke in my pocket I think.

Totally can't wait for tomorrow or saturday.... ego-twist should be here!!!! Dieing to see how the ego-c works with it.

Depending on your vaping habits, I think you'll like the new Twist in eGo batts I enjoyed mine today - on charge right now.... it was interesting to be able to pinpoint the ovale holder. The joye head leaked on it but not the Joye holder and the ovale head worked fine in the Joye holder.... and again - I may have gotten a lemon - others have been vaping the Ovale's without a problem.. still I think it's worth reporting what happens....

 

[Riffy]

Ok not one leak since I got the twist... I guess I'm going to be ordering these again after all. BTW... LOVE the Twist!!!! The twist & the ego-c B is pretty near perfect for me.

I've found the standard res.. heads work fine. The one LR I had also worked well but I like the flavor best on the SR's - for my flavors of course.

I use Riva SE batts almost exclusively, and as of late I was getting too many dry hits and vaping became unbearable with the B's (with B SR heads). I tried using an eGo-T batt and the situation improved, but still unpleasant vape. At the same time I noticed that the weather is currently too hot so, apart from the Riva SE's heating up the head more than an eGo-C batt, the weather was not helping, thus my vaping habits together with the above was not helping at all..the SR B heads were not wicking enough..even efter pushing the wick in the spike further down.

I did some math regarding 2.3Ohm on 3.7V vs 2.3Ohm on 3.4V-ish vs 1.8Ohm vs 3.4V-ish and the results were obvious I was vaping closer to LR wattage than to SR wattage.

I was already aware of the warning on ovaleusa.com that using Type A heads in the B's would produce too much leaking. But then I thought that that was exactly what I needed..a greater juice supply to the coil, so I went ahead and broke the rules, and started using A heads in the B's. Although I have to leave the tapered end of the tank empty (filling only up to the cylindrical part of the tank), now the B's are vapable again, with the Riva SE's.

Good points... Something for others to keep in mind - the A spikes have three slots in them - more flow. The B's have one slot in the spike - less flow. If your A's are leaking try a B head and if you're getting dry hits on the B, try an A head

Also ... tight draw, drop the head in 151 proof for a 1/2 hour.

 

[Cyblood]

I didn't ever notice the difference in the number of grooves inside the spike, but makes sense.

I stopped soaking atty heads in Vodka due to some rumours of the Vodka damagind the wick. They could be wrong though..
