Got my Ego-t hello leaks..

[Desdenova]

plastic ones that came stock with my ego-t kit.

That is most likely your problem. Its is a bad engineering design. buy the silicone caps. Cignot has a 5 pack for 1.50.
I got lucky as my kit came with the silicone ones. I have read alot of bad things about the hard plastic ones, leaking, causing the tips to crack and leak also.

Even if you love the tanks, it's really not a bad idea to pick up a box of cartomizers. Either the dual coil or boge 2.0. Dual coil are great but cost a bit more. You can pick up a box of Boge LR cartomizers from Joogler juice for about $7 and you get a free bottle of juice. Use the code ECF5OFF for $5 off your first order. That way if you have tank issues or atty issues, you'll have a backup.

ahhhh, all the mega dual coils are out of stock.

I had terrible leaking from my ego t. I replaced the bottom cap with a silicone cap from vaporkings.com and it hasn't leaked yet. I've probably smoked 10ml out of it so far.

I just got my EgoT(Type B) yesterday..no leaks so far(and I have been chain vaping since it arrived). I did order some silicone caps and never tried the hard caps that came with the tank...my juice is 80Pg/20Vg. So far so good..I love it. I also ordered som mega dual coil cartomizers for my heavy Vg liquids from Madvapes...they are wonderful as well. I am a happy camper right now!

Rock on! Thats why i waited to get the Ego-T. Always bugs when the product first comes out. I've been in manufacturing for over 20 yrs. Just how it works. If you go back to the threads from 6 months ago ...... you will see all kinds of complaints about leaking and flooding. The silicone cap is the ticket. If anything, i cant get enought juice to my coil!!!! Until i adjusted the wick down...now i love the Ego-T!!!

IMHO the Ego-T leaks are very likely due to the thinness of your juice, combined with the temperature. Liquids get thinner when they get warmer, especially Eliquid. I've tried both type A and B of the Ego-T and not had any leaks, but the taste is VERY muted, and the vapor is too cold for me. Also, once you get a burnt taste on an Ego-T, it's hard to get rid of.

I have to humbly disagree with you. I have used all pg and pg/vg juices. I will not go all vg, as its the nature of the beast. Vg is pretty thick.
I have had "no leaking whatsoever" with straight pg! Two things as far as the Ego-T is concerned will cause it to leak/ and or flood.
The hard plastic refill cap, and the wick adjustment. Ofcourse a crack in the tank would cause it also.

I've used the ego-t for just under 20 days without an atty dying (ok I killed one when cleaning but that was my error) with regular cleaning. Cleaning them thoroughly is not as easy as for non tank systems because the coil is hidden under the needle plate and not accessible without diss-assembly. The soda and vinegar method works pretty well but I'm a bit more visual and prefer to combine with a dry-burn which has meant I need to take the atty's apart. This is the main reason I wouldn't recommend the ego-t to fellow novices.. too much hassle.

As far as leaking, I've heard many horror stories and I really can't put my finger on what I may have done different and never got a leak even using 100% PG but my latest order was for a 70/30 PG to VG mix which is recommended for tank users as a leak-avoidance density. When I first got the ego I was being a bit too nosy and managed to ruin the wicks.. which I then diy'ed so all I can think of is that some atomizers might be weak on the wicking part, since then I almost always keep my PV standing up, and often carry it in my pocket in the same way! I'm using the plastic caps still and I only have a cartomizer on me for real emergencies.

Correction: I just managed to get a leak by drawing way to hard and sharp.. trying using it as a pipe to draw from, slow and steady.

Hope it works out for you, would be a shame if this puts you off vaping

I have a few tank atties that have lasted me months. I used to use them every day with vg. It was horribly slow to wick (8 - 10 puffs, leave it for 10 minutes) but no leaks which is no surprise given the thickness of the juice I use. Even my LR tank atty is still going strong.

Somehow, and I have no idea why, the LR tank atty I have absorbs even straight vg without too much hassle. The biggest downside is it eats up juice like some kind of super-absorbant sponge. Still going strong after 4 months but I'm using cartos 90% of the time, a 510 atty and CE2 to drip on 9% of the time and my tanks 1% of the time just because they're there an not dead yet.

Not sure I have much original to say, but my experience after 30 days using the eGo-T, it being my first vaping experience and device, is that its more a matter of learning how best to use it. When I first got it, I was keeping the button pressed too long, and taking a single draw. I ruined two type A attys in about 20 days. I've now switched to the type B and its a whole new experience. Much better in every respect. I now take a draw into my mouth, then a second into my lungs, before both exhale. Obviously the vape is just ridiculous. Looks like I'm vaping pure VG, though I believe I'm vaping pure PG. Very few very moderate leaks on the type A, and virtually nothing on the type B after 10 days. I also went with the silicone caps and they've been great. Much easier to remove, but very secure and perfectly tight in terms of keeping away leaks. Although I bought a type A atty when I bought two type B attys for the first time, after using the type B I packed up all my type A stuff. Type B is just far superior.

So, focusing back on the leaks, mine does rest horizontal for most of the time, mostly due to paranoia from other commenters in various threads saying leaving it standing vertical can cause leaks... but even before reading those comments and keeping the device standing when at rest, I wasn't experiencing leaks. I think this is a case of having a less-than-perfect tank/cap than any inherent device flaw.

I'm sure I'll progress at some point to a juice feeder, but for now the eGo-T has been my perfect solution. Those experiencing some frustrations... don't give up on it too easy.

Oh, as for cost... when the atty is working well for me, the cost to vape vs analogs is 1/12th. When I had to replace attys after just 10 days each, the comparitive cost rose to just 1/4. Still a win-win.

(I'm yet to try carto's... I'm still at a point of learning what I can and can't use with this device, in terms of all different fittings and resistances, etc. It looks to be getting more confusing each week as the market explodes)

My first ati was leaking the same on the first day. It was the silicone seal who was not place right. A mistake from the manufacturer ? Maybe but I was told that this seller used to sell scrap althoug... And it was just an Ego-like that I bought. Wich I know by now

 

[washvap]

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but make sure your cap in on tight. Some people I have read missed this step and wondered why their tanks are leaking. If you didn't pierce it with anything other than the piercing plate than you should not have an issue. Plus, make sure that it's in there all the way. For a new tank, it takes a tiny bit of pressure to get it properly seated.

All the suggestions given before me are great advice as well. Just wanted to give my 2 cents

 

[nastos.]

ok, so I am having more luck with the leak issues now with the advice given. It still starts to leak when the tank gets low but i just top off the juice and vape whats leaked into the atty hopefully this will get me by until I get some silicone caps and cartos for it.

also, where is a good place to buy the type b attys and how do I know which type I am using now? I got the joye ego-t kit from mypvshop. I got the kit that only came with one atomizer. It is not marked a or b it seems to work good but am still interested in trying the type b if tis is a type a?

 

[Jewls]

I type b is the atty that is a straight cylinder shape.The type a is smaller and has a cone to fit over it. Either will work with an ego battery but the type a need that cone to make it not look weird. I have a typeB and loving it so far. If I described anything wrong someone else please chime in.

Where are you still leaking at? On the battery, the joint between the tank and the atty, or in the mouthpiece?

also, where is a good place to buy the type b attys and how do I know which type I am using now? I got the joye ego-t kit from mypvshop. I got the kit that only came with one atomizer. It is not marked a or b it seems to work good but am still interested in trying the type b if tis is a type a?

Type A is cone shaped and has a 1.1ml tank. Type B is a cylinder shape and holds 2ml. The Type B gives a bit more flavor and vapor than the Type A. And if you want even more flavor and vapor try the low resistance (LR) attys.

These places have the Type B:
HealthCabin
Cignot

I would HIGHLY recommend that you get your type b attys from here:

People say whatever, "oh they're all from the same manufacturer" and so on and so forth. But, I really haven't read of a single person that had issues with the equipment they bought from Cignot. Including me....getting close to 4 months and counting. All of my atty's are still working like new.
