So i bought the ego t cig and it came with two of them, been using the one for nearly a week now, no problems with it apart from a little leakage, loving the vape and throat hit with my e liquid. Tried using the second e cig as i'm giving it to my mum as i don't need the two, so i bought her a charger for it but i'm just not getting a throat hit on it like my other but theres plenty of vape been using the same liquid with both, surely they should work the same! I've switched the batteries over with the atomiser that i'm using and it's working fine so makes me think it's a faulty atty, would i be right? I've sent an email to the supplier but waiting for a reply :-((

Sounds like an atty or the tank cap (is it silicone or plastic). I initially purchased a ego t myself, but it proved to be too needy for me. I like ease of use and convenience so I used a cartomizer with a tank that I bought when I got the kit and have been using a tank carto since then. I didn't give the ego tank much effort to work, so maybe someone will chime in to give you some advice on it. Good luck.

It might be a faulty atty, if you have a multi meter I would suggest reading out the resistance of both the good and questionable one. Personally, I loved the eGo-T when I first started vaping, but I quickly moved on to cartomizers and an eGo cone so everything looked right to me.

Try reading out the atty(s), try a different tank or two on the questionable one, and if worst comes to try cleaning and dry burning the weak atty (Instructions here). If you still have problems I would strongly suggest looking into a cartomizer for you eGo, a cone too if you want, you should have an easier time with it, they're easier to use, and cheaper.

Good luck with all that, let us know what happens, and I hope something here helps out.

I started with ego t and found you need to keep up on cleaning...

I think its good starter kit...but with money saved from smoking also bought ego c to give it a try. The c comes with five attys and they usually last about 3 months if i rotate them.....i use one for a few days ...then place it in pg bath..I keep track of which has been in bath longest....and start over....works for me!

I will attemt replacing wick and dry burn method also...just for poops and giggles....some have had great success ..

Will be trying ce4 this week....they are relativly inexpencive...and reported to last. If one lasts a few weeks....it would be great.

Good that they are sending out the replacment atty for you Lana, I know some of the cheaper companies I had used in the past just completley refused to help with anything like that.
Good PV's the EGO-T. I use the TotalyWicked one which is basicaly the same with the devil logo on instead. I will say having a couple of PVs is a good idea tho so you might want to look at getting another one sooner or later as a backup.

Just dont do what I did, I brought one.....then two..... then three then blah blah and it kind of became a obsession to get a diffrent one lol. Good luck!

I'm sure the new atty will help, I just wanted to add that I had issues with wicking while originally using my ego-t. I purchased soft silicone end plugs for the tanks instead of using the hard plastic caps. Also every now and then I would pull the tank out and push it back in while twisting the tank 90° to the left or right. Sometimes both ways frequently but I'd also leak juice that way so be careful.

I now only use the tank atty as a backup, I've become a big fan of cartomizers.
