okay so my ego c is not making any vapor, tried three different atomizer both my cones and my batteries. its not my batteries because i can get vapor with the fluxomizers i have, when i put the ego-c on it sounds like its working but no vapor comes out the only thing i could think of is its my juice what doesn't make sense is i was just using the same juice before it stopped working so I'm really wondering whats up anyone have any ideas throw them at me thanks.

yes i hear it working i think I've narrowed it down maybe too much juice getting into the atty because when i take the tank off and hit it a couple times i get some vapor the thing is I've tried three new attys and all are having the same problem so its not the wick. don't know what else to do I've also tried three different tanks new ones .. still no go. thanks for your rep lie.. i think i have a defective cone the draw seems a little tight.. guess ill order a type b

A few things. In case you're using them, soft caps on the c tanks can cut off air flow. They do with the new B tanks. Soft caps on the t's, hard caps on the c's. ;) The atty holder(cone) might have the centerpost pushed in to where you're not getting contact with the batt. You can pick that out a bit with the dental pick or strong toothpick. OR... usually no vaper - if everything is working - is a flooding issue. I'd stove pipe (no tank) that atty dry... but you may have a defective one....

Could be a bad cone. I had one cone that broke and it did all sorts of things but work lol. I do the exact same thing as Kent, tail pipe it when it gets flooded. I do use the soft caps though on the B tanks with out issue other than when they are really full they have to have a primer puff once in awhile. My B cones aren't Joyetech though so they might be slightly different too.

I experienced the same exact performance issue with "C" attys. I "upgraded" my EgoT and bought $80 worth of C cones/atty's. The C atty's are no better than T's, except that they don't leak. Very little vapor production, with zero throat hit. I put a review on the Litecig website and they took it down. Ill never buy from them again- since they regulate and censor reviews..
Anyway-- I left plenty of air gap, used soft and hard caps, tried different juices... nothing worked. I think that the issue is not enough air flow

If you don't have a Joyetech, try a Joyetech atty if you can get one. They seem to work a lot better. You can also try pushing the wick down in the needle to improve wicking. Or you can get a stardust. I ordered a 5 pack of Joyetech attys and some stardusts and the Joye atty worked a lot better than what came in the kit. However, they're just backups now because I love the stardust.

I found out the fun way that the cones can be bad. One of mine broke into 2 pieces, and never got it to stay together right after that. There is the outside & a little inside piece that the head connects to the battery. After it broke apart it'd either get crooked and ruin caps or it wouldn't connect to the battery or it would just come back apart. I ended up just ordering a new cone.

The 2 pieces:

As for your issue, I don't have a clue what you're doing different. I never have any issues with my C now that I've gotten used to it. It produces a lot of vapor for me too. But I did the trick linked below and took out the tank's 2 pieces on the mouth piece to get a little bit more flow.

Here is a good way to loosen the draw some:

Maybe that'll help you some.
