Havn't tried ego t. I do use 100%vg because I react badly to pg. Just in a regular ego though.
I've used some and it's not too bad. It's a bit thick so give it some time while chain vaping and you way want to try a few 'primer' puffs to make sure things are flowing.
I have several eGo-t's going on VG ejuice DIY - nic base VG, VG blending (VG:H20 85:15) and then flavoring. No leaks no problems.
100% VG is all i use in my Ego-T...other than the occasional leak I've never had an issue no matter the viscosity of the liquid.
It may not be as flavorful as PG, but it vapes great. I bought a bottle of Cherry Cheesecake back in July, and I had to stop using because it was disgusting in my 808 cartomizers. It tasted horrible, and gave me a bad aftertaste that was very difficult to shake. When I got my 510-T system a few weeks ago, that all went away. My kit also came with a bottle of 100% VG tobacco that also worked splendidly....so I recommend VG all the way.
I have an atty that leaks too.....any idea why?

An eGo T atty that leaks ? You don't say...
I haven't been able to cure my leaks 100% but I have been able to drastically reduce them (almost to none) by doing a couple of things...
1) Replace hard plastic caps with silicone caps.
2) Puncture the caps on an empty tank then remove the chad.
3) Use a syringe or similar method to refill the tanks without removing the cap
4) Don't fill the tank more than 3/4
5) Make sure the wick is properly adjusted in the spike (there are a few videos on youtube)
6) When inserting the tank, make sure that the airflow vents are lined up. The major leaks that I've had could only have occurred with some type of vacuum situation.
I'd gotten my eGo-T (type B) down to where it didn't leak with pure PG, but then I started having throat issues I thought might be a reaction to PG.
VG is a bit thick, so I've been adding about 4ml of water to each 30ml batch of DIY VG juice. No leaks with the same atty that didn't leak with PG.
But while I could vape for several weeks straight using unflavored PG, a couple of weeks of VG gunked up my atty and it burned out.
I've been tweaking the wick on another atty, and I've got one that works with the odd trace of fluid leak over a full day, and one that still gives a bit of a burned taste. I have to clean the atty every week or so, now.
So I switched to an eGo-C for the VG stuff, as the modular atty is cheaper to replace.
The smaller tank doesn't last all day, the way the B tank did, though.
So I'm anxiously awaiting the B size upgrade to the eGo-C.
And I'm still not sure whether the throat issues were PG or RA (rheumatoid arthritis).

I use the straight VG liquid from Velvet Vapors, best flavor I have found thus far and no problems with it being too thick, she thins it somehow or something...I guess.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, I got an EGO T Type B and it leaked a lot! I have done everything y'all suggested and am much happier.
Now, I just wonder does anyone else feel it uses more liquid?
Or...is it just that I vape a LOT more when I don't have to stop and drip?

ThreeRing - It's the latter of your last question... I'm filling my tank every day now because it works that dang good!
Vape On!

I started with the T model and now using the C, I use 100% VG exclusively without a problem, I will say that some darker juices foul atomizers a bit quicker and create a tight draw, in general I've had zero problems and plan to stick with the VG.
Not sure why so many folks have problems with it...

Same here truman. Dark ejuices aren't just a problem with t's and c's - there's a reason why they are dark - they have particles suspended in the fluid and those particles can mess up wicks and coils. I have some strong flavors - real tabs from DV and BWB espresso and DV's Doppio Espresso but they're all still translucent - not clear - colored but you can see light through the bottle. I've had other dark ejuices where they are opaque and I don't like them much - you do get a burnt taste on anything over about 6-7 watts and they foul up fillers and cartos and make them ratty
Chances are some other ejuice vendor has been able to reduce the particles and still get the same flavor - I've seen it and tasted it.
Count Dragula...not all VG juices are created equal when it comes to viscosity, all I use in my Ego-T and now the C model since I started 3 months ago is 100% VG, I have some that are a little thicker than water and others like gear oil, I've read a few posts claiming VG is always thick, guess these folks just haven't received a watery brand yet.
I have, not a lot of problems, and if it was too thick of a juice, i would just drip a couple of drops of distilled water in the tank and shake it up a little.
