eGo-T isn't working properly?

[Eden1]

So, I got the eGo-T E Cigarette , when I use it I can blow smoke but the taste is just terrible. This is my product
I am not sure if this is the taste that it's suppose to have , but it's just terrible. Everything is connected just fine, but the taste.. Is there a chance its suppose to be that way? The taste feels like something burnt and my throat feels really hot.

I had to go out and watch a video on this product as I had never used it. The review was from early 2010.

The reviewer said that that the "low resistance" atomizer worked better than the one that came with his kit. However both of them had some problem wicking juice and he had to wait between taking consecutive draws to give the juice time to rewick the coil.

Try turning your voltage all the way down and see if this helps. I would expect that high VG juice will not work well at all with this setup so if your juice is higher than 50% VG you will most likely need to thin it out with a little distilled water.

I watched a few videos and they all explained the same thing. There is a needle that pops a hole in the tank and the juice flows thru it, but its covered with burnt juice and im trying to remove it. any ideas?

Are you trying to remove the tank or the atomizer. I saw that when the reviewer first put on a new tank he pressed down very hard to get the "pointy thing" to pierce a hole in the tank then he rotated the tank.

Does that help or answer your question?

From left to right, 1) battery, 2) atomizer with pointy thing that pierces ego t tank, 3) cover/body, 4) mouth piece with ego t tank inserted.

Yes, the atty is removable, these need to be replaced frequently. Depending on how gunky your juice is from every day or two to maybe two weeks.
No, it shouldn't be hot or taste bad, burnt or funky.

Your best bet is to get a better delivery device ~ tank/topper/thing on top of battery that you fill with liquid.
Evod, m3, t3d, mt3, nautilus, gs air to name a few there are dozens to chose from that will be a big step up in vape quality & ease of use.

Sadly, I think this was a very bad design to begin with and personally I would love to see all of them pulled off the market. I know that is never going to happen but I really hate seeing someone that doesn't know any better having this as their first vaping experience and give up because they think that is all there is.

I do apologize to anyone reading this that have and love this design

Others have already given you the advice you need. I would suggest you get a different topper (the part that holds and heats the e-liquid) Something as simple as an evod single coil topper would work well with your battery. The evod would replace all of the parts that you have above your battery. With the evod topper you do need to buy extra coils. Actually with any and all toppers you have to either replace or rebuild the coil. Some coils can last a day (using very thick sweet e-liquids) or weeks (using clear, maybe unflavored e-liquid).

You either buy a whole new piece, or ---> https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/ego-t-atomizer-step-by-step-cleaning-and-maintenance-by-shaka-zuluf.226241/

It would be a great deal easier to get a better delivery device than to fiddle around with the ego t.
