I bought my eGo-T Saturday and it was working fine then. I didn't have any problems with it until last night. I loaded a new flavor, inserted the cartridge and tried to vape but I got nothing. I waited a while to let it warm up and still nothing. I loaded my old flavor and had the same problem. What I am noticing is that my Atomizer gets warm quicker than it used to, and I am not getting any vape. My battery still had a good amount of charge in it so I don't think it was because of that. My battery is an eGo-T LCD with 1100mAh.

Don't have too much experience with the eGo "tank" system (cartridge+ atomizer) but have you tried cleaning the atty and battery where they connect? Also only finger tight. Also sometimes the battery connection can get pushed down OR the connection on the atty has been pushed down- After cleaning try gently pulling the atty connector down about 1/ 32". When this first tank system came out they were great but have since proven to be problematic. There are now far superior delivery systems available.

The eGo, although not my first choice, is an excellent PV. The problem is with the outdated delivery system (cartridge+ atty) that many Vendors supply with the Kit. The Mini Vivi Nova is excellent.
"a plastic or metal tank with a wick and element. Contains NO stuffing. The rebuildable Vivi Nova comes with heads (coil+ wick) that can be cheaply ($1.50) and easily (10 secs) replaced. When the head burns out simply unscrew the old head out and screw in new head- takes 10 secs. My Vivi Nova heads are lasting about 6 weeks BUT I wash the heads every few days. I've found the Vivi Nova to give the best draw."
I now vape flavorless and the heads are lasting 4? months.
Just remember only finger tighten all PV stuff.

Can you suggest some? I'm willing to buy a new vaporizer if this problem is going to continue to happen just because I screwed it on too tight.

You're welcome. Give me 2 secs and I'll grab a vid. It's long but covers ALL aspects of the Vivi Nova:



Best of Luck.

Thanks, to the both of you. I'll look into the Vivi Nova and check out some forums/videos so I know what to expect and maintain it better than I did this atomizer.

get a kanger t3 it is so much easier and cheaper than the cart atty system....and hits way better too,

The vivi is also a good product..better than kanger t2 imo. however the kanger t3 is bottom fed so the wicking stays saturated and never gives the bry buttburn taste....

any of the 3 i just mentioned is far surperior than the cart atty system, but dont feel bugged by it we all started there

You're welcome. I really have learned a lot from PBusardo's vids. "If" you do buy the Vivi Nova make absolutely sure it has the long wicks- the short wick have wicking issues. Here's a comparison pic:

Thanks again! Definitely not getting up until this video is finished.

    The eGo-T was my first e-cig, and it successfully ended a 50+ year smoking habit. So I will be about the last person to say bad things about it. That said, it didn't take me all that long to figure out that a cartomizer sure worked a lot better than the T atomizer on that battery. They even make a cone that fits over the cartomizer so that it retains the nice finished look.

    But then I discovered dripping atomizers, and all bets were off:lol:

    Enjoy the ride, it's a fun one!

    The mini Vivi Novas are my primary tanks used on my eGo Twist I ahve the 1100 mHa as well. With the skirt on it it makes for a very nice looking device. I did not get the bigger Vivi Nova because it is wider then the mini Vivi, for me how it looks together makes a difference. Does it mean I might have to fill my tank twice in a day, yes but I do not mind.
    Me and the Kanger T3 did not get along, mine leaked and it was like vaping on a broken straw. Now I gave it to a friend and they have a had no issues with it. I also tried a DCT tank and we did not get along either lost of hot air but no vapor and I wirry about leaks if the tank is lose in my tank bag without a firm drip tip on it.

    Just remember if you ever buy another Kit look very closely at what's included. Many vendors will put older outdated or reject accessories in the Kit and thus they can sell it at discount. A bit more work but usually best to buy all parts separate....pick and choose the best IMHO.

    Thanks again! Definitely not getting up until this video is finished.
