Ego-C Issues

[propagandax]

After much success with my E-Roll, I decided I would pick up an Ego-C for the house. I am not a novice vapor, almost 1.5 years in I have pretty much used it all. I like the tank system and really want to make this work. I have an Ego-C kit with upgrade batts, 2 atti cones, etc. My liquid varies from 90% pg to 70% pg. Since i received the kit I keep having issues with burnt taste. Ive tried different combinations of attys', atty cones, and tanks. Sometime everything is fine for an entire tank, I go to refill, 2 puffs later I am getting burnt taste. My tanks are the newer ones that have the opening already punched. I have searched and read the various threads, it appears I have a wicking issue but I have been messing with this and cant seem to fix the problem. I have tried blowing into the tanks, draws, tilting, adjusting the tanks, adjusting the atty cone position, I can't find the issue and its extremely frustrating. I can only imagine how a new vapor would feel. Why cant it just work? Any insight and experience would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

With the eGo-c, the only problem I had with burning was using the LR atty/heads. If you have a multimeter or the madvapes resistance meter, I'd see what the heads are actually putting out. And I was using regular eGo-c regulated batts which put out 3.2-3.4 Volts. Since you have the upgrade batts, perhaps you've been vaping in the higher voltage mode. If not, and if you're not using LR atty/heads, then the only other thing it could be is your ejuice. It may be too thin or too light in flavor.

Ya I tried a few juices, still the same. I am now wondering if my atty cones are defective, ie improper airflow or something. I am on my second $22 dollar box of attys, first box was LR and defective (burning on eroll and ego-c), second box is SR, works fine on eroll but random burn issue on the C. I am about to abandon this system completely.

I went a year on the eGo-c system before going to the Kanger T3. But I knew all the tricks from here and was vaping a good VG blend that wasn't viscous. There are fixes for the wicking on the eGo-c attys - mainly either pushing them down into the spike or raising them - perhaps yours needs pushed down a bit to keep the coil wet. Doesn't take much - pry off the spike plate - easy when removing it as the wicking 'fluff' can be on the coil - pull the wicking down. Easier but not as precise perhaps is to push the wicking down in the spike without removing the plate - thin toothpick should do it.. not to far or you may lose wicking in the tank.

Kent, I just tried the toothpick trick, pushed the wicking down some, and it seemed to be helping. You rock! Ill report back later and confirm. I wonder if the suction (tank pulling or drags) is pulling the wicking up gradually, which would explain why it works for a while and starts to burn.

More likely it's the variety in the wick adjustments at the factory The fluff at the bottom of the wicking would tend to hold the wicking in place on drawing - even hard draws. I think once you get it right, it will be ok. That was one of the first 'fixes' here - few threads on it - but on page 12 lol.

Just wanted to report back and say this seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks again.
