eGo T Type A atomizer knock off/issues

[angel755]

I've had pretty good luck on the products I've ordered online, I guess getting
scammed once isn't too bad.

vaping on eGo T since April 9th. Finding the Atomizer (Type A) are only lasting about 2 weeks.
I haven't had a lot of luck with any of the cleaning methods thus far (including dismantling
and reassembling the entire thing).

I recently purchased 5 atomizers at a yes, too good to be true price, from a vendor online
(no one I've ever seen mentioned here). Received and every one is practially useless. This
is what I sent to the vendor "What a complete waste of money and misrepresentation of an
eGo product. All 5 atomizers are practically useless. Very lose and airy draw, you get very
light vapor with no taste. Additionally in the product page that you sell them you have a picture
of an eGo T Type A Atomizer with the eGo T logo on it which would lead the buyer to believe they
are getting a branded, reputable product, please stop this misrepresentation by putting a picture
of the actual product (no brand no name) that you are selling and stop misleading people."

I requested either my money back or an eGo product that actually works. Once I get an answer
or none, I'll follow up in supplier review section with company name.

My question is and I haven't taken one apart yet to see what might be an issue but will later on today.
Any ideas on what might be cause this/what I might look for because I do get vapor it is just "airy" and
tasteless.

I can buy type a atomoizers at a local store in the town I live in they are just $13 a piece, I guess I'm
going to have to resign myself to spending 26 bucks every two weeks for atomizers, was just hoping
I could get a little more life out of them than that.

As always thanks in advance!! (and yes I've learned my lesson!)

Do yourself a favor and try a box of Boge 2.0 ohm cartomizers. You get 5 in a box for $8 and that's up to a month of vaping. The flavor and vapor are better than you can expect from most other atomizers and it's a predictable experience. There's no leaking and they are easy to fill.

If you decide you like cartos, but like the vaping time of a tank fill, order a Smoketech DCT cartomizer tank. They come in 3.5ml and 6.0ml sizes and use a cartomizer in the center with a hole punched to soak up the juice. These run about $12 to $13 and include the cartomizer and the mouthpiece.

Thank you. I will. I have read a lot about the Boge cartomizers being good but wasn't quite sure if they worked on the ego bat.

I did buy eGo mega Dual Coil Cartomizer to try but find them odd. Maybe I'm used to a tighter draw, but the draw on them was very airy to me and not much flavor. Seems most comments I saw on the emdcc said the opposite so maybe I'm doing it wrong lol? I do have a couple "Upgraded Vision eGo Transparent Clearomizer for 510/eGo (V2,Long Wick)" on the way so maybe I will like those better. I haven't been at all unhappy with the taste and performance of the type a atomizer until they just die at 2 weeks. I'm a juice hopper and like using different flavors throughout the day so like filling my own as opposed to prefilled (filling less $ than prefilled?).

Thanks for the tip Dave I'll give the Boges a try.

I am sorry you are having problems with that vendor. I think I know who it is as I almost bought it myself. If it is the vendor I am thinking about it is 5 changable atomizer heads for $10 and the shipping is like $19 or something like that. Everyone else wants $25 so I was thinking this would be fun but I got turned off by the shipping and was scared it wouldn't work. I hope they resolve your problem. I am pretty new to vaping and still trying to find what is good and what is not. It is a lot of work. I just got in the stardust cartomizers that I heard on here that are great. So far they are. I got the low resistance ones and the throat hit and vapor are so much better. I just have trouble getting a strong flavor from anything I use. I think it is because I use 25 PG/ 75 VG but am scared to go higher on the PG since it gives me a rash when I tried 50/50. The Vapor Room though has great e juice and the stardust does give it so much stronger flavor than the cartomizers that have the thick polyfill. I am not going back to those. I hate them so much. Try the stardust, it has a ton of great reviews on here.

I don't think this was the same deal. The shipping was 8.50 for 5 atomizers at 22.50 (I know I know if it sounds too good to be true).
Wow. I did get a quick response but look at it........OMG!
"You have got your package? So our speed is very fast, right? Also I would like to tell you that It is SLB atomizer. You should know SLB quality is very good. You are the first customer to complain it. Our atomizer has earned high reputation. I think that is why you buy from us.

We are not like many Chinese company, we have excellent after service. Please return it to us, we will check and give you replacement."

So then I would end up spending as much in shipping it back as it originally cost...hmmm....doubtful. If they want to send me a prepaid label to send back their defective merchandise I will be glad to send it back AFTER they credit my account as I am sure I will never see a replacement that works right.

You like the EGO T concept. You don't like bulky tanks or ugly looking cylinders on your EGO battery. You don't like the taste of foam fillers inside cartomizers. You don't like to those expensive Type A or Type B attys that burn out without warning and cost $13 to replace. You like the tighter draw. You like the size of the EGO battery. You don't want to fiddle with stuff just to get a few puffs out of them.

Well...

The Stardust is exactly what you need at this point in your vaping life. Trust me, I know about all those things I mentioned above. I've been an avid EGO T (A and B) user. Liked the concept, didn't like the inconsistency and costly replacements.

Thanks. I actually have some on order and am looking forward to trying them! Thankfully I took someone's advice a couple weeks ago and bought ego mega dual coil cartomizer's so those are holding me over for now.

The Stardusts can be a little inconsistent as well. They have an issue of sometimes wrapping the coil too tightly which chokes off the wick flow. Not a big fan of having to rebuild a brand new product out of the box just to have it perform as it's designed.

The coil (atomizer) and the wicking to it is the weakest and most inconsistent link in vaping. It's the root cause of the majority of bad vaping experiences. Causing many inexperienced vapers to think they're doing something wrong. While causing nothing but headaches, hassles, and tons of wasted juice for the more experienced.

The straight bottom feeders are looking better and better to me all the time. At least it would relieve any wicking / filler issues. Just hoping I can find a good consistent and reliable atomizer to go with it.
