eGo Questions

[BrianL]

Okay, got it and I'm loving it, but a couple of newbie questions I have:

1. When dripping on the eGo, how do I do it? Do I just drip right on the cotton/poly insert?

2. How often do I need to clean the atomizer? What is the best way to do it?

dripping refers to dripping juice directly onto the atomizer with the use of carts/filler
what you're doing is refilling the cart, you need as many drops as it takes to wet the entire filler (takes practise)

atomizer cleaning is a subject of much debate - i clean mine about once per week - i blow all the juice out into a tissue, hold the button down until the atomizer gets red hot and keep it held down for around 5 seconds to burn off residue, i then rinse it with warm tap water, blow out the water, drop 4 or 5 drops of liquid in and i'm good to go.

by the way, this has all been covered many times - use the search function.

I would suggest getting rid of the filler all together and dripping like 2 or 3 drops right down on the atomizer and then put back on your mouthpiece. You will get several good hits or more before needing to drip again.. Better yet, get a drip tip and use that. Easier to so and you dont need to take off the mouthpiece. The filler is a mess to fool with..

The search function here isn't the greatest. Most of my attempts have ended up with tons of results and many weren't what I was looking for.

To answer you, Brian, just put a few drops down inside the atty. Maybe 3-4. Then put an empty cartridge end (with no filler) back on and vape. When it starts tasting funky, repeat. If it gurgles, you've flooded the atty and need to blow it out. Let us know how it goes!

Drip right on the atty

By 'on the atty' everyone means 'on the mushroom headed sticky-uppy part that has a sort of crosshatch mesh on it'
Rolls off the tongue eh?

Hey Brian, ain't the eGo great! Mosey on down to the E-Cigarette Technical Forum, Tips and Tricks, Experiments with equipment subforum and they got every cleaning method devised and you can take your pick. Here's the link

Part of the evolution in vaping is you'll probably start to get tired of refilling your carts, so you can go to the Modders Forum/Cartridge mods subforum and mod your cart...or most people just decide to direct drip (DD)...very easy and clean taste.

If you want to try it now... get at old cart and pull out the filling... drop 2 drops on the wick (braided metal looking thing inside your atty... replace the empty cart... vape. That's it! If you like it, order a delrin drip tip (don't get the metal ones) so you don't have keep removing the empty cart.

Good Luck!

...the mushroom headed sticky-uppy part that has a sort of crosshatch mesh on it...

Yeah, that the thingy that you drip on.

Ego is a great PV....Same as above about cleaning the atty...Blow it out then rinse it out, then re-blow it out....add a few drops insidethe atty and good to go.....That is, if the atty isn't dead.....Please remember, attys are not made to last....especially the LR attys....Enjoy....
