Got My eGo-T Today

[Gordon Grape]

It is a very different experience than the Joye 510. I found the 510 close to a real cigarette, in terms of the drag and throat hit. I smoked Merit Ultralights, which are a very light cigarette. The shape was helpful as it is the size of a regular smoke.

The eGo is a different thing. The draw is more difficult. I feel like I have to prime it before I get a decent hit. The other thing is there is no throat hit at all. It is so smooth, in fact, I was unsure I was getting anything at all. You have to mess around with the thing a little to get it working. The extra complexity always results in more work.

I bought vanilla and cappuccino flavored juice. I don't taste much of anything.

The thing I notice is you get more nicotine from this than the 510. I'm not sure why that is, but I can really feel the extra nicotine. I suspect I can vape less with this than the 510 and get the same charge. I'm not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Some people have had similar experiences with the tanks. Some people love them, some don't. You don't have to use it as a T. I recommend you get some Boge standard resistance and 2.0 (LR) cartomizers and try those. They are the most popular cartos and good to start with. I get very good reuse out of them with thin juices. And get a normal atomizer and a drip tip for testing juices (somebody said it's not good to drip on). If you don't mind tinkering with stuff, you could try the clearomizers or other reservoir cartomizers based on their guts.

That's definitely weird because on my Ego I get a killer throat hit. Then again I am using Menthol liquid which I've heard tends to be strong and it's 24mg Nicotine. I also drip it of course, but I'm still pretty new so I dunno if it could be the liquid you got or the device as I have just the regular Ego.

I just know for a fact with 24mg Menthol from Liberty Flights dripping in my Ego, I get pounding throat hit. Oh and it's 100% PG which I believe hits a lot harder than VG based.

I got my eGo tank and atomizer today too, and I find the draw is excellent, the vapor production is beyond compare, and the flavor and th is as good as my 510 or eGo with standard 510 cart and atomizer. The one thing I found though is the tank leaks a bit. I may have something out of kilter, but it seems I lost almost half a tank of juice today.

As far as more nic with the ego-t....it's a bit of a juice hog so I think you may just be getting more per hit than before.

leaking....I still have this happen if my device is in any other position than flat. In your pocket battery end down, leaks into the battery, tip end down, leaks into the mouth tip... I use mine at home and in the car, and then stick on a 510 atty for times at work.

I assume you are using the standard resistance atomizers. Cartos will fix your problems with it. Type B lr atties, will fix everything except the draw, it will help but not fix that completely. I can tell you that even though the standard attys will actually give you nicotine relief, they aren't very satisfying as a vape.

I use the LR type B tanks on the go, I tend to abuse the hell out of my egos, and I've found them to be fairly sturdy. I ended up ripping the back battery case off of one recently though. I got lucky and was able to put it back together, and its still ticking. It actually surprised me when it started to come apart though.

 

[Gordon Grape]

The nicotine issue is the new juice. I ordered 18mg, but got 26mg.

There's a burning smell on the eGo. I'm not sure why that is, but it is distinct.

I don't have any leakage that I can see.

It really is a different experience so far. I'm charging the other battery and will try it later to see if maybe the setup I have now is defective/aberrant in some way.

 

[Dunlap]

Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience with it I get great flavor for mine and actually enjoy the stiffer drag. I used to hit my cigs real hard and had a tough time adjusting to the slow, easy drag I've had on others. Hope you can make it work or find one thats right for you.

I got my eGo tank and atomizer today too, and I find the draw is excellent, the vapor production is beyond compare, and the flavor and th is as good as my 510 or eGo with standard 510 cart and atomizer.

I don't think thats leak, I think it's just burning up the juice like crazy. I won't say I've never had some leakage, but never a half tanks worth. When I was using the 1.x mL tanks I could go through 4-5 on a good day, and I was checking it for leaks religiously. All that vapor has to come from somewhere I guess. It's kind of crazy but, man, it blows it the pants off of the other pv's I've tried! I also wonder if condensation is an issue with these since my tanks are pretty much soaked when they come out, even if I've only used it for 15-20 minutes. Could that be running back down into the atty and leaking out? And the 2mL Type B tanks, while they seem to leak more, seem to last me longer than 2 of the smaller tanks would. Haven't quite figured that bit out yet but thats my observation going into day 3 with 'em.

 

[Gordon Grape]

I think the eGo was waste of money. The burning plastic is not something I can accept. The plastic tank hits against the part that gets hot. Sucking in melted plastic cannot be good. I'm not even sure if it is plastic. I took the tank off, hit the button and blew into the end. I hear sizzling and smell something burning.

Maybe I got a lemon, but this thing is not good.

This was a true leak. I have a spot on my shirt to prove it I contacted the vendor for assistance and was told that these atomizers must be adjusted a bit and that the leaking will stop. I don't mind going through lots of juice. Lots of juice means lots of vapor, and that is why I vape. I want a little white cloud above my head all day, every day.

 

[rbrtito]

where did you purchase your ego-t from? i've only used the tank a couple of times but it wasnt for me. have you tried some LR attys on the ego?

 

[Cyatis]

There's a burning smell on the eGo. I'm not sure why that is, but it is distinct.

The atomizers come loaded with primer from the factory which I find god awful, you may have removed the primer from the atty already, but I mention it for obvious reasons.

If the atty is actually burning the plastic on your tanks, you are correct it is a lemon.

 

[xxMACK]

im ordering a ego-t for me and my dad. i hope i dont have any leaking problems with mine =)

 

[DM]

I agree with Gordon Grape.... The eGo T is nasty. one minute fine the next it's like vaping burning plastic suit.
Why use em when there are better carts out there that hold more liquid anyways? I still have two of them. wont tuch em. now there yard art.

 

[Mudder]

I got mine yesterday as well. Only I didn't get it. Sounds confusing I know. All I got instead of the kit, was one single battery. That's it. I sent an email off to them, but haven't heard back yet.

 

[DM]

xx MACK They will leak.......I promise that. I will eat my own face if they dont!!!!

Mudder ,,,,,....................sounds like you ordered the eGo T batt.. 900mah or the 1000mah maybe????

I'd think it be hard to make a mistake between the price of a battery and a whole kit. Contacting the vendor is appropriate.

I try to plan ahead for those kind of contingencies, its a good example of what can happen when your vaping along, expect supplies, and something doesn't go quite right. I tend to have the luck that if I don't need something it will be on my doorstep pronto, so thats when I order things now, at least when I can.

If the atty is actually burning the plastic on your tanks, you are correct it is a lemon.

I took the tank off and I smell burning in the atomizers. When I hit the button and blow into the open end, smoke comes billowing out that smells like electrical. This happens with both atomizers. I looked inside and don't see anything removable. What's this primer of which you speak? Do I wash the atomizer out in something to get the foreign material out of it?

 

[Cyatis]

When I recieved my atomizers they primed them at the factory, to keep them wet for use. What the factory uses to prime them with makes a world of difference, and trust me those attys can hold quite a bit of fluid. If its the original primer fluid they were using, it simply tastes something like burnt motor oil to me. It will go away as its vapable, but takes time. Most people tend to speed up that process by blowing all the excess primer out of them though, because well it simply just tastes bad, and it will overpower almost any juice you put in there. I would assume the factory at some point would or have changed what they prime the attys with. Even so, I'd expect there to be brand new attys left with that primer out there, so its worth a shot.

I started with the ego, because when I started I got a decent deal on enough starter gear, to make it worth a go. I've got a surplus of ego 1000 mah batteries and 510 atomizers. Unfortunately I don't really get the time to drip on the go. Over the last few months I bought a couple of standard type A tank attys which I hated and they sit in a box here, they have no chance at 3.2v unless I was desperate. I bought a couple of type A LR tank attys, which were ok, but I used a sturdy dental pick on them to make the airflow reasonable, I have 1 of those 2 left, but it also now sits in a box. Then I bought a 5 pack of the type B LR tank attys. I had the opportunity to try one out first, and could afford to give that a go.

You can buy LR cartos and use those, and I'd suggest you would get a better vape from those. Boge 2.0 ohm is a great carto imho. However, no matter what I do, its not like dripping on an atty at higher voltage to me. I never run out of tanks, and I have run out of carto's before. Having multiple ways to get by never hurts. I feel as though I'll get my 61 bucks worth out of it, assuming I take reasonable care of the attys. If they all don't go belly up in 2 weeks, I break even, but will they hold up to 60 to 90 days of carto use is a better question.

Obviously I feel that if I have 5 working versions of the ego-T, I feel either something is wrong, or you just got a bad version of the same product. If the atomizer is actually burning the plastic of your tanks, obviously there is something wrong, because I expect most people would be against vaping burnt plastic. It is not likely to become the flavor of the month. I've been tempted to buy a Riva battery at 3.7v and try them out with the same setup, but I borrowed one and found that it would take a little extra work to get that right, so I've put it off until I have time to really deal with it, especially considering that is an item I have extras of already.
