EGo-T atomizer quit working

[lisagaye]

I'm a noob and a goob. Please help. I just got an EGo-T. Used a pre-filled tank from a China website. It worked fine for about 10 puffs, then the atty got hot and poof, no more vapor. I tried a new atty and it works fine. Am I doing something wrong? The pre-filled tank has filler in it. I thought the tanks didn't have filler. But the package for the tanks says, Type A for the EGo-T. Please send me your thoughts on this. Thanks.

If what you bought is in fact a "T" type PV then there is no filler. It would have an atomizer / tank combo. The tank would be the juice container and your mouthpiece. If the device has filler, then it is a standard ego with an atmoizer/cartridge combination.

I hope you get it working. I'm no help with ego tanks because I wrote them off as junk months ago. Buy some good cartos.

I wondered if they sent me standard Ego cartridges because of the filler. Though they are labeled Type A. It's definately an EGo-T. Thanks for helping!

A Tank does not have filler. Hit the button a sec. before you take a hit. You don't want to run it w/o liquid. If it gets hot, it can fry the atty fast. When it gets low on juice, add. Did you get some e-liquid?

Here's a pic of a couple eGo gadgets. From left:
eGo atty Type A with cartridge (and filler inside cartridge), atty has a steel bridge inside (looks like a bit of steel wool);
eGo atty Type B with cartridge (and filler inside cartridge), atty has a steel bridge inside (looks like a bit of steel wool) and
eGo-T atty Type A with tank, tank part is usually clear and has either a rubber or plastic cap on the BOTTOM thru which the needle in the atty punctures a hole (no "steel wool" inside the tank atty!).

Which one did you purchase?

I got the EGo Type A cartridges I believe and should have gotten the EGo-T tanks. Found a tank in my stuff, filled it, and it now works beautifully. I have an EGo-T (Type A I think, are there types for the EGo-T?). I ordered the Type A cartridges as extras thinking that's what it took and tried one of them first before the tank that came with the e cig. I'm such a .....! Every e cig is sooooo different! It gets confusing. I love the vaping experience though and plan to quit smoking. Thanks so much for the clarifications and help guys/gals!

Oh! I think I killed the atomizer but ordered extras so I'm OK. And I actually got the atomizer order right! I'm 1-2 so far! LOL

There are 2 eGo Tank models type A in pic. above & a larger Tank type B.
It sounds like you are doing well, despite blowing an atty. We all have burned up some stuff like cigs. & attys.

Vape on lisa!!! Sounds like you were well prepared (that's one of the reasons for why I still got them "gadgets" around <grins>).
As to, if there are different type atty/tank combinations: Just as SirVette mentioned, there are 2 sizes. Type A holds just over 1ml, type B about 2ml. They come in several different colors to compliment your battery.

Do yourself a favor - get some Boge 510 2 ohm cartomizers and learn to fill them to capacity (1ml), clean up, settle (on different sides and ends so every it of stuffing gets damp). When vaping keep them damp or you will singe them. Many use a small 510 drip tip as a mouthpiece instead of the endcap - easy to pull to check stuffing or add juice.

Then even if you ever destroy all of your atomizers you will always have the Boge cartos as a backup. And most people use cartos for their everyday thinner juices.
