Ego-C Twist with Kanger T3 Threading Issues?

[Noctoru]

Good morning,

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with the Ego C Twist/T3 combo. For some reason the T3 doesn't completely screw onto the Ego-C Twist battery. It leaves a tiny gap which results in a loss of vaccuum. However, when I attach the T3 to one of other 1000MAH Ego-T 510 batterys, it works great and there's plenty of suction. The Ego-C also connects well with my other 510 attys but for some reason the Ego-C and T3 do not pair well.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do to make it fit more snug?

I've heard (read) a rumor that Joyetec has slightly changed the threading on their eGo-type batteries. This may be first showing up on there mods.

I have two Ego-C Twist, one is a Joyetech, the other turned out to be a knock off. My Kanger T3 works very well with the Joyetech, and not so good with the other one. I haven't noticed a gap on either, I just know the Joyetech works a whole lot better than the knockoff version.

I use T3's on Joye eGo Twists without that problem. The threading on the T3 is much better than the T2's imo. It is one thing that the Kanger techs had in mind when they went to the T3. The threading on the T2 mouthpiece was a bit 'crunchy'. :- )

This would make sense because the T3 works perfectly with my other Ego batteries. I just received my Ego-C battery in the mail yesterday so i'm assuming it's part of their "new" modified design (if what you heard was true).

Anyone with newer Ego-Cs notice this with their new T3s?

 

[Noctoru]

Wow, so I just counted the threads on the new Ego-C versus my old Ego-T. I count 6 grooves on the Ego-C and only 5 grooves on the Ego-T which would make complete sense as to why there's a little gap between the two. Bah... lame.

T3's work just fine on my Joyetech twist

Is yours new? How long have you had your Ego-C Twist?

 

[bols2DaWall]

I've had my twist & T3 for only about 2 weeks now . Not sure if you can go by that though , it could be new older stock , although i would imagine the more popular sites would turnover stock fairly quickly .

Here's a picture of the threading difference.

Anyone recently purchase an Ego Twist that can confirm if the threading is different now?

I have not purchased a new one but I have 4 genuine joystick ego batteries and had a T2 that would only work on 3 of them.

I just purchased a genuine eGo-Twist 1000mah and a Kanger MT3 and Kanger T3 and do not have a gap with either.

Dang, I must have been given a weird one then. I see yours DOES have less threading than mine. Where did you purchase from?

 

[Kayo]

I purchased mine from LITECIGUSA Joye ego-c twist Manual Switch Battery

I found them via the distributors list on the Joyetech website, they've also got a list of websites that sell copycats.

 

[Bamafan]

I have bought from them and they solved the one problem I had immediately. Have you talked to them yet?

I just got some t3's in the mail today and none of them will even thread onto my ego c twist. It looks to me that the threads inside the t3 is much more of a course thread than what I see on my ego. I am going to pick up a 510 to ego adapter and see if that works. Anyone else have a similar issue?

 

[spider362]

The "rumor" is that Joyetech has changed the threading on the eGo's. The eGo threading, not the 510 one.

This from Wayne at heaven gifts who is in constant contact with joye and kanger techs....

"I am also using twist battery+tabacc, it's working well and there is no problem like the thread says, I guess that customer is using a copy twist battery. Joye tech have two different eGo threadings, one 5 threads another 7, both can fit the Tabacc BCC. However, some Tabacc cartomziers center connector may not well contact the center connector of Joye series batteries, it's easy to resolve this problem, you just need to use a small screwdriver or a bamboo skewer to wiggle the center connector of Tabacc BCC out of its rubber seat a little bit, so that it would become higher, then it can well contact the battery connector. Joyetech don't have other eGo threadings, so it's not true that Joyetech has changed the eGo threading."

There's another thread on this issue and I'm guessing it's either a Twist copy or a center post problem with the T3's....

I've just noticed a difference in threading on my T3s!!!


Felt like I was sucking in air with the T3 on the left when it was on my eGo Twist...
