Ego tank atty wick - UK forum

[Marcus123]

Hello,

Still fairly new to this, however I seem to need to do some work with my Ego-T atty (type A). I've managed to clean it out by soaking, which helped, then I progressed to whipping out the needle plate and doing a dry burn to get a proper clean. I got it out, did the dry burn etc, but hit a brick wall when trying to get the original (rinsed) wick back it. The little metal bit at the top just didn't want to go in properly and I only got the wick in a short distance. I tried smoking it like that but got a burnt taste, presumably as the wick wasn't in well enough and therefore not enough flow of juice.

I've been reading on ECF about using silica and the PTB method for re-wicking and I want to try this. Where can I get good wick material IN THE UK? (please).

Any other tips and avice with regard to my wick problems are also much appreciated. I've already watched a couple of video's.

Thanks,

Marcus

Ok well there are a couple of options here . The first is bulli wick Glasfibre for A1 Atomizer - Fa.Bismillah this should give you pretty much what you need the second would be to get hold of a zippo or similar lighter which have wick built into them.

I'm afraid i can't help you much more than that as it's something iv'e never done but please post back and let us all know how it went

Hi Marcus,

Have to say I don't bother ever cleaning any of my atomiser's whatever the permutation, they are designed as a disposable item, so it's a complete waste of time IMHO.

Once I've had the use, they're binned.

If however you'd like a repairable atomiser there's the Bulli & Imeo's IAtty . . . the Bulli A2 is also available in a tank version.

If it's a 'Tank' system you'd especially like, I'd suggest having a look at a Map or Arry Tank . . . very reasonable juice feed systems using clearo innards.

most atomizers would burn just after cleaning

Hi guys...

forgot to log on to here for a while... Well, i got sick of the tanks! Loved the principle, but got fed p with them either leaking, or needing cleaning. I'm now using Boge510 carto's and they're SO much better. No leaks, great falvour, and if they go bad they're only £1 each!

Agreed. I now use only cartos, clearomizers or dripping only over tanks on my 510 now. The massive hit to flavour the tank causes was just not worth it, might as well be vaping straight up plain VG for the loss in flavour I got on tanks, that's with all my juices. Even polyfibre carts tasted 100 times better. Tanks are a Waste of time IMO.
