Ok so obviously I'm rather new to vaping. I have a 650 mah ego battery and the ego t style type A atomizer, 2.4 ohms give or take. Now I've done quite alot of research so I know a bit about common problems but I cannot seem to find info on the problem I am having. I currently have 4 bottles of e juice , all 50/50, all from ecblendflavors. They are caramel cappuccino, dragons blood, dragons tear, and Bahama mama. This is my problem my Atty vapes Bahama mama just fine, no problem. The other 3, which are about the same color except the cappuccino, will not vape. Period. I don't get vapor when I try to cape them, almost like the Atty floods but it doesn't. Is this a voltage vs ohms issue I have cleaned, boiled, and dry burnt the Atty and still nothing. I thought maybe it was the color but Bahama mama and the dragons are virtually clear. So why does one cape perfectly but the other doesn't? All have steeped a week+ any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Also it is wicking fine with all juice, whenever I load up with dragon and it wont cape I blow out the Atty which has liquid inside. I just dunno its frustrating

I've never used the eGo-T atty system, but I have used the 'C' system quite a bit which is similar. What you are describing makes no sense to me. Color is not an issue. VG/PG mix matters a bit, but your juices are all the same so I doubt this is a wicking issue. You also say all juices are wicking fine and the atty is not flooding.

I think something else is happening to cause this issue, or you are not describing the symptoms accurately. Start the troubleshooting over and don't leave any possibilities out. To make vapor you need a hot coil with an appropriate amount of juice on it - it's that simple. The problem is in not missing anything that counts.

If the atty stops firing explore if it's lost contact with the battery. Look at the tank and its connection with the atty. Is juice flowing properly? You see where I'm going with this. Best of luck with it!

I've never used an ego t but I'm assuming its the same as other batteries. I had the same issue with mine would only fire certain clearos and I'm assuming your using a few here. Sometimes over time the clearos can push the centre pin down that makes contact with the atty. Take a small flathead screwdriver and very gently pry the pin up. Hopefully that helps

Ok so I tested all connections they are fine. Coil is firing. Juice is wicking the same amount with all juices (I tested this by allowing 10 mins per juice to wick and blowing out the atty, same amount of juice came out with all of them). So wicking is not the issue. Connection is not an issue, battery is performing fine, coil is working fine. Not flooding. This is shy I posted it absolutely does not make sense. My only theory is that the 2 juices that wont vape require hotter temperatures than my ohm resistance is allowing (however it is worth noting I have tried direct drip onto the coil and fired it for 5 to 8 seconds, still a very small, almost inconsequential amount of vapor, no TH, and VERY muted flavor.) My other juices are throwing out clouds of.vapor and decent flavor. Later today I will try these juices that aren't vaping. On my friends clearo, 2 ohms give or take will post results thanks for the feedback

Well on the 2 ohm clearo they seem to be doing better, although the flavors are still very muted... guess my battery just isn't pushing the voltage the juice needs

Unless it's an eGo upgrade it's firing @ 3.3 volts and 2.4 ohms is a little too high. 1.7- 2.0 ohms would make for a better vape IMO. I use 2.4 ohms from 4- 4.5 volts.
