eGo-T attys quiting after 3-4 weeks????

[Chriss]

Hi everyone,
I got my first eGo-T kit at the beginning of April. I love the self-contained design, but attys going out in 3-4 weeks? Am I the only one that finds this unacceptable?

Is the eGo-C atty compatible with the eGo-T batt and mouthpiece? Do the 5 packs of elements last longer?

the ego c is compatible with the t batt and the tank, you just have to make sure you get the same a or b type you already have for the tanks to work. I've had my c for about a month now, only killed 1 atty and that was my fault, lol I dissassembled it and the damn cat ate the wick! I drop the atty in a bowl of boiling water to clean. If I buy vodka to clean I swear my kids (who are legal age) always find it and drink it before I can clean them! Damn that Mio that can make even the cheapest vodka taste better!

This not normal. Mine last at least 6 months of actual use, and I am using LR 1.8 ohm atty's , which get hotter than normal ones.

Normally atty's burn out for lack of juice to cool them, but the T is very forgiving since even when it seems there is no juice the vapor volume drops by about 1/2 and that is a sign to fill up the tank again.

You aren't dry burning them are you ? I almost never do that since it can be bad for atty life.

I have one "C" atty and it seems just like the normal ones. No burnout either, so far, after several months.

Perhaps you just got a bad batch or knockoffs. I think I bought all my atty's from Cignot. They are a major Joye distributor so are not likely to have knockoffs.

Good luck in solving the mystery !

Thanks for the responses. No I'm not dry burning them and I did get them from Cignot (whom I love by the way). In 2 1/2 months, 3 attys went out though. At $16 a pop, that's a bit steep. I ordered the C attys and will see how long they go.

Does the hot water thing sometimes revive them or is that just for cleaning?

 

[Jixchel]

Cleaning them that way removes the built up gunk, so yeah it cleans them but also revives them since they perform like new once again. There are a few videos on youtube on cleaning the attys and on rewicking. Once I buy some wicking material I will rewick the atty that has no wick thanks to the cat.

Thanks. I'll check it out... maybe save some bucks.

Personally, I hated the atomizer/tank system. I was really looking forward to it, but boooo it sucked in my opinion. I like to switch out flavors a lot. Every time I tried to switch i could always taste the other flavor with the new flavor. Grape Vanilla is DISGUSTING let me tell you. I just use my Ego - T battery with DCHV cartos from Vapor Kings and I'm highly pleased. Tons of vapor!!! Warm vapor at that. No spilling at all. Taste is awesome as well. Threw the tank/atty junk in the trash. Like you said, that's just NOT acceptable to me either. I shouldn't pay good money for something and it not work properly. I shouldn't have to fiddle with that crap all the time.. the wick.. the spilling.. the attys messing up... it got to be a hassle.

I was actually coming into this section to see if you get the atty heads cheaper anywhere. Mine only seem to last 2 weeks, and always crap out at the worst time (like right at work when we're crazy busy and I don't have time to change out). I, too, change out flavors a lot. But with the price of these atty heads, I am really having an issue. Part of the reason I made the switch was to save money because I am on a very tight budget. $35 a pack of heads isn't a lot in the long run compared to a carton of smokes a week, but man, it is still a bad hit when I have to do it, especially if the heads only last 2 weeks at a time.
