i know it isn't the best idea but i'm running out of them - safety cut-out on ego-c

[Krprice84]

i'm finding the my ego-c isn't really getting lots of vapor, and i'm also finding that i hit the 10-second timeout on it quite often because of that. if i can't get it to make more vapor, can i get rid of the safety somehow? i am pretty electronically-capable, and if someone knows how to disable it, i wouldn't be opposed to opening everything up and mucking about, just so long as i can be assured i can do so without having to cut/bend/break my way in

now before someone comes in and moves this to 'not advisable' i am aware of the reason the safety is there (prevent over-drain and/or over cooking the atomizer) but i have two reasons for asking this to remain a viable question/thread:

1. the larger battery that has the passthrough (and, i'm guessing, the older ego style batteries) do NOT have the safety mech, therefore it is obviously not completely 'required' so much as it is an added 'feature'

2. i am aware of, and ok with, the fact that i could burn something out, but i am willing to take that risk

now, having said all of that, if someone can point me to something i can do which will alieviate my problem with not getting much vapor within the 10-second limit, then please, let me know about that, but don't just close my thread because i am not getting the help i need if that happens

thanks everyone!

Want a bigger hit or more vapor on an eGo? Gotta go Low Resistance.

What liquid are you using to start with? You are not wicking properly because those puppies will put out, way before the cut out. If you are not getting vapour on a STD atty, you won't be getting it on an LR atty which requires more liquid at the coil.

I was gonna say, what juice you vaping? I get tons of vapor. If you're new, then it might be your drawing method. Dont be sucking on it like you would a Slurpee.

LOL never heard that one before

Also, it might help if you hit the button a second or so before you hit it to let the coil pre-heat. I also second the LR comment.

 

[Krprice84]

the thing is, while i am pretty darn new, i've gotten pretty good at my drawing method. i can get lots of vapor when i use an lr510 atty on my ego batteries and do the drip tip thing, thats what i'm comparing to and it's not even remotely close. i know that the drip method is going to be better, but it's not even on the same playing field

i'm using juicyclear juice as well as i have some dekang juice i think, the dekang ry4

i'm wondering if i'm getting enough fluid to go down into the atty, but how do i get more to go down there? i'm pretty sure the fluid isn't too thick, but maybe it is? it strikes me as pretty darn thin, like, i do know that they are suppposed to be mixed anywhere from 70/30 to 60/40 pg/vg, so that can't be too thick could it?

please help!!

The eGo-c's have a different draw on them. What works on carts may not work so well on the tanks. LR atties, slower lighter draws, a sec or 2 on the button before.... all good ideas! For me it just took getting used to it. I never have a problem with mine after a couple months use now.

To get more juice in em.... draw on it a couple times with out pressing the button. That will prime it. As to too thick, I use 100% vg in mine

With the Ego-C if your not getting good vapor, I think it may be your battery needs recharged or most likely you need to replace the atomizer head. Sometimes you just need to clean your equipment and blow thru you atomizer head without the tank attached to blow out any flooding of the coil, flooding will cause a decrease in vapor. You can also puff on the cone without the tank on until you get a dry hit and this also takes any excess fluid out of the coil. Try a new atomizer head and clean all the threads and inside the cone and the screw on base that holds the atomizer head. Then try it again, and if its better then, the atomizer head did need replacing. You can clean the Atomizer and do a dry burn and make it like new again. If you just replace it when it quits performing like it should, its still cheaper than smoking. There is only 2 differant Ego-C ohm ratings the standard is 2.0 and I think what they call low resistance in 1.8 ohm's, the lower the ohm's the quicker you run your battery down. I hope this is helpful

thing is, i've gone through 3 of the 4 atomizers that i got with it, and they've all been like this. one of the ones i've 'gone through' burnt out after i poked around with the wick. another one, well, i was playing with it, took the top off the atomizer, and was trying to push the wick down but it cam eall the way out. now i have no wick in it as the wick got messed up when it came out. i've tried using this atty but i get no real hit off it, and when i do it's only a partial one. the third one i am still using, but as with the first two before they went/were made bust, i realy don't get much vapor out of it. i mean, i get a fair amount of flavour, which is the odd part, but really not much vapor. i would say it would be similar to taking just a very small puff on an analog, compared to my drip tip setup which would be like taking a pretty big drag on an analog....

i'm wondering, can anyone tell me EXACTLY how to debridge and/or dewick my ego-c atty, and also, if it is worth doing it or just one of the two? i'm really getting to my whits end here....

There is no bridge on the Ego-C atty, just the needle plate that holds the wick and the wick then soaks the juice from the tank down thru the needle plate to the exposed coil. Its easy to dewick you just pull off the needle plate and remove the wick or you really don't need to do that just pull the needle plate off and the coil is exposed. I quess you could just drip onto the coil but it is a long way down the cone and you need the cone to hold the coil cylinder. I use a 70/30 PG/VG fluid. If you use all PG you will not get as much vapor as you will with 70/30. If you use all VG you get lots of vapor but it doesn't wick very well. 80/20 PG/VG is not bad either.

Are you using an eGo C battery? There is a difference in the battery as well, not just the head assy. The eGo C batt has more humf <---- Joyetech branded that is...

Thats true. I do use mine on a 14650 E-power set up and it works great. With the Ego-c I can change the battery with a fresh battery, I carry in my pocket, so with the first hint that the Ego-c carto is loosing performance, I switch to a newly charged battery. This way I always have power. I do have pretty good luck with the Ego-c battery also, but the E-power battery gives me a good backup with the extra battery I carry.

yup all brand new

can anyone tell me what they do to prep their new ego-c atty before using it? i want to set up my last one to use but i refuse to do it until i know exactly what to do and how to do it, becuase i don't want to risk ruining my last one

thanks

 

[Riffy]

I don't understand, I don't have to do any "prep" to mine. On a fresh head I just draw on it a few times with out pressing the button to prime it, just enough to see a couple tiny bubbles in the thank float up. That's all I do. It's one of the reasons I like the eGo-C, don't have to mess with anything on it.

 

[Deathnote4U]

When in doubt... Pull the instructions out... LOL

 

[ian559]

When I put in a new tank or replace my atty I puff, puff, blow... I have had no issues with mine. I love the flavor and the vapor production for me with 70/30 liquid is great. My friend has a mod and commented yesterday how awesome my vapor production in with my c.

 

[Maestro]

They can definitely be finicky. Do you have Joy or a knockoff? I was having similar problems and was forever fiddling with it. I read somewhere that someone with the same problem was about to give up when until a friend gave them a Joyetech atty to try. So I bought some Joyetech atties and now the vapor will fill a room. Maybe it's just coincidence. I haven't really played with it a whole lot because I got some stardusts in my order as well and I've mostly been using those. The Joyetech atties really seem to make a difference, however.

 

[inanitydefined]

Rather than defeat the safety why don't you just let off before you hit the cutoff and then press and drag again? And if you're getting a hit so unsatisfying that you feel the need to modify your gear its time for an upgrade. What's your nic level and the ohm of your atomizers?
