I received my Ego-C yesterday

[danny-b]

i charged up the battery and inserted the tank. the first few hits, nothing. i took the tank out, reinserted it firmly and i finally got a few good vapes off of it. after about the 3rd or 4th vape, it started dwindling down until it didn't produce any more vapor.

now, i am using ECOpure liquid, which i believe is 100% vg and is most likely the culprit. for those ego-c vets, which ejuice works the best with this model?

Did you get the burnt taste? Some juice I use is really thick (I use all VG) and sometimes you need to suck on the tip a few times without applying power. On a fully loaded tank, make sure you see the air bubble float up thru the juice in the tank when you take a few drags without applying power. This tells you that its wicking. Another trick is to unscrew the battery and place your finger on the end of the cone and draw on the end until you feel suction on your finger. That should force some liquid down for sure. If the VG is too thick, add like 1 drop of filtered water.

Totally agree with nuggetz. I use 100% VG too with out any problems in the c.

Some times it helps if you line up the tank's narrow sides to the slits on the atty too if it's not getting enough suction.

i will definitely try out those tips when i vape tomorrow. before i do all that though, i'm going to charge up the other battery and see if i experience the same problems. thanks.

just to follow up...i tested out the second battery that was shipped with my kit and now it's working fine. for some reason, the first battery seems to "overcook" the ejuice and then after a few vapes, it starts to die out more and more with each successive vape.

i contacted the people i bought it from and they are sending me a replacement battery.

All tank systems work best with straight PG, AAMOF the new janty Neo uses PG.

All Vg liquid are not created equal, unless you mix your own liquid using tank systems will be problematic. A ratio of 70/30 is tops IMO and prefered one with a ratio of 80/20. I use 100% VG without problems, the caveat all my liquids are diluted between 15-20% with distilled water.

i forgot to ask this in my previous post: how many refills do you guys usually get per tank before it needs to be replaced?

I have a couple of tanks in rotation for over a year, mind you I refil mine with a syringe.

when you guys are finished vaping for the night, do you remove the tank so that the atomizer spike isn't sitting in juice all night?

 

[Switched]

Nope! It is better to keep the spike moist at all times. It prevents the liquid in the spike from drying up. Drying up = gunk

You got to push the wick down just a tad.
