eGo-T atty flooding

[Silverback]

I recently got an eGo-T atty and it was fine at first. Great vape and flavor but now I seem to have a problem with the atty flooding. If I shake the atty I get lots of juice that comes out. Blowing and shaking produces even more. Still get good vape but not as much flavor as when it was new. Tried to wash it out but still the same.

I am going to get some more tanks today, but was wondering if anyone had any of the same issues or solutions.

I can't say I've had that issue. Does the juice come from atty or the tank itself? And try washing your tank attys with isopropyl alcohol rather than water.

It is coming from the atty. If I take the atty, without the tank, and shake it juice comes out.

Thats odd. I tried doing the same thing to mine just now but the juice only comes out if I blow air through it.

Blowing on mine does nothing for liquid coming out just shaking. It gets a little frustrating when you fill a tank and then a little while later it's almost empty and I have not been hitting it much.

I have heard that the leaking can be caused by the hard plastic tank cap not providing a good enough seal to the needle. There are silicone tank caps that are available that supposedly provide a better seal and help prevent the leaking and or drawing of juice up the side holes while taking a drag.

Get tanks from MyVaporStore.com (never had a single issue with theirs), also, when you refill them, either use a syringe or take the cap off GENTLY (I insert something into the hole and pull up gently on both sides so I don't bend the edges of the cap) and make sure it's on tight after you're done filling. It sounds like your tanks are leaking - it's not the atty. Also, make sure you don't do ANYTHING that might widen the hole made by the piercing needle.

I started the tank system with the inferno from volcano e cigs. I have had similar problems of flooding the atty when using 100% pg home brew juice. Is my problem bad tanks or should I throw in a little vg into the mix to thicken it up a bit?

I really hope that when I get some new tanks this stops. As for filling them I have been using a syringe and only taken the cap off a couple of times and done it from the sides. I really didn't think it was the atty but maybe something to do with the wick, but from what I have read in other places I don't think so.

Could be either or both. Careful with the tanks as I suggested above and it couldn't hurt to add some VG and see if that helps. Everything I vape is high ratio VG.

Thanks for the advice. I'll order some vg and start playing around with ratios on my next juice order.
