Do you have any atomizers or cartomizers to try? I never had very much luck with cartriges. My first check would be to make sure that your battery is fully charged and possibly switch cartriges. It takes a little practice to fill without overfilling. Also make sure to take off your cartrige when refilling as you want to make sure that the liquid doesn't seep into the battery. Although the batteries are usually sealed, it's a good precaution.

Best of luck.

Are you vaping a high VG juice mix? The eGo-T tank doesn't wick thick juices well. It likes 100%PG down to about 70%pg/30%vg. The silica wick in the bottom of the tank right above the coil is similar to the wicking in CE2 clearomizers. Even those are slow to wick thick juices.

Try vaping a couple of puffs and then sitting it upright for a few minutes to let the pressure of the liquid enhance the wicking effect. It might just need some recovery time between puffs.

Great I also just ordered the Ego T and had it shipped overnight. I hope it works well. I read such great reviews. Does anyone know if the battery will come with some charge so I don't have to wait to try it? Also I just ordered whatever juice they were selling. I guess the standard juice. They didn't give me an option of PG or VG. So do you think I got PG? It was from Lite cig usa whatever their juice is. Thanks.

The eGo-T is a good ecig, it just got some bad press at first because it required thinner juices to wick properly and the thinner juices leaked from time to time at the tank seal. Now, they have silicone seals instead of plastic caps and the leak problem has stopped. Mine leaked in a pants pocket. That can happen because of warmth end expansion. The silicone caps are available separately through your supplier if your tanks have hard bottom caps (the end where the spike punches the hole on a new tank).

Most batteries come with some charge. LiteCigUSA sells dekang juice so I assume it's probably PG.

Some people have issues with the tank, some don't. Even if you don't like the tank- it's only a juice delivery system. If the tank works for you, great. If not, you can pick up a box of cartomizers that are fairly inexpensive to use on your ego-T batteries.

Joogler has a special for a box of boge 2.0 cartomizers and a free bottle of juice for 7.00. If you use the code 'ECF5OFF you get 5.00 off your first order. So it'll only cost you $2.00 plus shipping. I'd order them now in case you don't like your juice or have a tank issue.

Cartomizers
Vermillon River also has a free sample of juice, just pay shipping.

I would def get some cartos. The eGo tanks were a good concept, but that's it. Personally I hate the eGo tanks. Their very finicky and leak. I also find they dull the flavor and TH on alot of my juices. I would get a pack of Boge cartos and see how you like them. Cartos are consistant and wont leak like the tanks. The boges are popular cartos and alot of people use the 2.0ohm LR Boges on an eGo. I think you'll find that you like them a lot more than the tanks.

Here are some things to try with a totally new "T" setup...

1) remove the cap from the tank and and use some tweezers or needle nose pliers to remove the 'chad' that was left by the piercing spike.

2) insert the tank into the atty with the battery end pointed up.

3) make sure that the air vents on the side of the tank line up with the vents on the sides of the spike plate.

4) a new tank and atty combo may be hard to fully snap together. Don't be afraid to put some pressure on it if you have doubts. They should 'click' together the first time or two but will loosen up quickly to where they just slide in.

I have eGo batteries and I use a combination of "b" type attys and tanks, 510 cartomizers, 510 atomizers with a cone and EMDCCs... If for some reason the tanks don't work out for you, you have plenty of other options. People will say that the tanks don't taste as good or as strong as a carto but I have one juice that just tastes wonderful in the eGo tank but is boring at hell in a carto. You'll need to experiment to get the most out of your equipment. The LR atty that came with my eGo-T kit didn't function properly until I adjusted the wick and then did a full cleaning and dry burns to get rid of all the gunked up juice that was left by the improperly functioning wick.

Best of luck to you...
