ego-T atty question (Type B)

[zeryl]

So I picked up the egoT and got it 14 days ago. The first day, the vape was amazing. Large amounts of vapor, nice throat hit, easy draw, etc.

I'm on my 5th cartridge (have refilled a couple times on other carts with Ecopure english toffee, yum), but I just don't seem to have the same performance anymore.

The throat hit is there is I inhale deeply (not like you would a cigarette, more forceful, more like a straw), but normal inhale like a cig, I get almost nothing. No TH, little vapor, etc.

I know it IS working, as I do get some, but just doesn't feel as good as it did that first couple days.

Is this an indication the wick needs adjusting? Or is the atty going dead? What would I look for to see if it's the atty?

How hard IS the wick mod (resetting it, not replacing)? It seems easy enough, but I'm not sure how well I'll do, and don't wanna kill one of two attys I have.

Any advice is greatly welcome.

Try blowing out the excess juice. Unscrew the atomizer from the battery, take the tank off, hold a paper towel loosely over the tank end and blow it out from the battery end.

A good clean of your atty should help.

So I cleaned it (well, blew it out), not much improvement. Can inhale easier, not as much vape. I'll switch atty's and if it works, I'll know its this one.

I use the type A with no issues. The wife is on the type B and is going through hell, leaks, juice in the mouth etc. I can't figure why she's having problems.

VG and dark liquids clog them up Ecopure is all vg correct? You prob need to thin it out a little and/or clean the attyout. I use mostly pg juices and have 3 B attys that I've been using for a couple of weeks I use the baking soda/white vinegar method and it works great The A type attys clog up more than the B's, if that makes ya feel any better When you look in the top of the atty at the spike, make sure the wick is at the bottom of the cut-out in the spike, don't poke it too far down or it'll flood all the time. The A's I got I had to adjust, not the B's.

Just got done pulling the needle plate out, and cleaning it per the videos. The coil was horribly gunked up. So much better after a quick clean. Going on my weekly to do on these now. And yes, it's a VG base.

The designer of these (Ovale) recommends 65/35 PG/VG. Ecopure is 100% VG diluted with what I assume is water to bring the viscosity down. Mixes I've tested on these are 70/30 to 50/50.

Ecopure did goo up my atomizers which required a cleaning to get them back to normal.

Ok, one last question. After the cleaning, I get a fairly loud sizzle when hitting it. It gives me nice vapor and all like it should, I just want to be sure it is supposed to, since I played with the wick.
