I had a little bit of a learning curve when I first got them, but after wearing 3 to 5 tanks full of juice that leaked out I have it down pat. My biggest problem was that I chain VAPE, so I would be pulling on it too hard, and flooding the atty, that mixed with a 100 PG, and my lanyard posisition of battery side down, well it was the perfect storm. I was also pulling off the end caps at first to refill them, but I went to a dentist office and bought some syringes from them, they are designed for cleaning out your mouth, so instead of having a needle, they have a curved piece of plastic on the end, it works perfectly for drawing out of the bottles, and then filling through the hole punctured by the atty. After I changed the way my PV hangs (mouth side down) don't draw as hard, and am using mainly 70/30 I haven't had a leake since. I thought I did a couple of times, when I noticed 15 minutes after I put a new tank in that it was almost dry.........but I realized that I had actually vapid it all up, the remaining bit was brown liquid from me overheating it from co stately vaping, the original liquid was. Clear.
Anyway I couldn't be happier, and have quit ordering new vaping toys since I got this :) I think my only weaknes will be a 510-510 battery extender, sometimes it just won't draw well, and I would love to get it really drawing better.

I believe that I flooded the atty a couple of times today. Pulled too hard and without let up. I had to blow it out then wait - sigh.

I don't know what you mean the way it "hangs" - when you are not using it?

Okay...so I bought the tank for both my sister and myself. She's been using hers for a week and now can't get a good draw. It's like it's flooded or clogged. Has anyone had this problem and found a quick way to resolve it and get the tank atty working again? Thanks in advance for any feedback. At 15.00, I hope there is an easy fix.

1. Blow it out and try again.
2. If that doesn't work, rinse with hot water, blow it out and try again.

I think I may try the ego-t. I have read good and bad, but from what I see....if I can keep it "running", it just may be what I am looking for. Time will tell. I made a pack with myself, no more purchases until I have saved money by not buying analog. So the way I see it, I need to be smoke free for about 2-3 weeks. Then I will probably buy the EGO. Fingers crossed.

I love my ego, had one tank seal fail so far, but that was my fault for being a neat freak, lol, I just had to rip the little puncture tag off the tank lid, didn't I....

Other than that, it's been top notch. Just remember to clear out the primer from new atty's before you smoke 'em. That primer liquid tastes bad....REAL bad.

Sorry to sound completely like a noob ...
Does all the sites which sell e-juice tell what is the mix. I mean if it is 100% vg or a mix..

And I have seen quite a lot of people mention a lot of mixtures so I guess that the Tank will work properly what ever the mixtures is....

Hope I am correct else would one you please point out which is the best ratio to use in the tank

Put your mouth over the top end or over the screw end of the atty and blow into it and keep doing so until no juice comes out, then be sure to wipe it all clean with a tissue or something. I've flooded my atty a few times. I blow mine out every night now and don't seem to have any issues. I'm using a 70% vg / 30% pg mix.

So far my atomizers have been working for about a week now and show no signs of slowing, but there are more on order just in case.

Just be diligent about cleaning the atty. A lot of people vape and vape and vape and don't clean it often enough. Those things gunk up and it kills the air flow. Once it's clogged, your chances of it burning out go way up if you keep trying to use it without blowing it out.


Anybody ever fill a tank and forget to put the end cap on?
It's a learning experience like the first time you zipped yourself. You only do it once.

I almost did this last night. Fortunately the key word there was almost, I caught myself in time.
