eGo T. sudden harsh burning taste

[inanitydefined]

I'm sitting here enjoying a nice vape when my ego t starts making a nasty burning taste. I cant get it to go away. Its like it completely stopped taking in juice. I've done every trick I know to get juice into the atty to no avail: shook it, tapped it, dripped into the atty. there must be some in there because its making a wet gurgle. is this atty wasted?

As an ego-T user, it sounds like your wick might have dropped too far down the tube, and resting on the coil. Have you pulled the guts out and checked the wick yet?

You can try this eGo-t wick adjustment - YouTube

You could try just cleaning the atty first. The wick adjustment isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. That might be the result though- but clean the atty first.

If you take deep drags sometimes it doesn't wick quick enough and you get those dry, burnt tasting vapes. Slow, light vapes are best. I don't vape that way so tanks didn't really work out for me.

Try a few priming toots on it

1. two quick sharp strong sucks without activating the switch
2. one short blow without activating the switch

Then try again.

There are a number of how to clean tank atomizers.

IMHO this is one of the better videos showing how to pull it apart. Probably want to keep a couple new ones handy though as sometime the wicks fall apart

Sounds to me that the wick is wasted in old burnt juice and the coil in the atty is caked as well. A good cleaning
will fix it.
