Not a personal experience but my friend just got his ego c yesterday tried it out and said it tasted burnt. Then today he took it to work and said it leaked. I think it's to be expected with any tank system, well some. Either way I'm still thinking of getting one.

Pease read this thread very carefully and get exactly the same things that the OP just ordered.

sailorman, When I was researching and found the eGo-T/C I had no problem figuring out the C is the better design (I'm very cheap and poor, if they were the same I would've went with the cheaper one). Claiming the C is junk because you used T's like going back to 4072 penstyles and claiming all e-cigs are junk and will always remain junk.

I had one of those bad atty packs. After tinkering with them they're working better than the good atty pack.
One thing I'd change with the eGo-C is redesign the spike plate to allow for some easy adjustment for different consistencies of juices.

The long term eGo-C users don't hang out in the new members forum because of the people who shout them down to keep them from giving any help. Don't complain about something you help cause.

If you have enough posts to get out of the New Members forum you should mention this in eGo Type Models . Or simply spend some time reading that forum.

Since you mention burnt and flooding in the same post right off I'd assume he went from an overfilled tank that kept it from flowing to an underfilled tank that let it flow too freely.

With my bad atty pack they were tasting burnt. I popped the spike plate off and pushed a pin up through the wick, this loosened the wick and moved the it up, both seemed to be issues with that whole pack. If it wasn't for mentioning flooding that's what I'd look at.

I think enough of the Joyetech eGo-C atty/tank to have taken the time to assemble links to exactly what someone would need to get to try it. Many, many people like them, and most of them were willing to take the time to learn a few tricks to get the most out of them. I think that they can be a valuable addition to a collection of vaping equipment, although they're not on my list of "must-have" gear. That said, you might end up really liking them. They can play a key role in a good, portable "stealth" vape, and with the "B" style tanks holding 2+ ml, I think they can be very good for out on the town, or just hanging around the house. For about $46, you can experience a pretty cool part of vaping history. That'll get you a "B"-style base and cone, five tanks, and five atomizer heads that will last a pretty long time.

I've heard that the "B" tank and attys work a little better, and Bulli-Smoker, the makers of the Bulli atomizer, think enough of these tanks to have designed a world-class rebuildable atomizer that uses them. IMO that counts for something.

And as I said, I started on the "T" atty and tanks, which were not bad at all IMO, and then got a "C" atty with "B" tanks, which worked well right out of the box and that I enjoyed for a few days until I loaned it out.

Claiming the C is junk because you used T's like going back to 4072 penstyles and claiming all e-cigs are junk and will always remain junk.
All of which would have the slightest bit of relevance had I ever claimed to have used the T, let alone formed an opinion of the C from it. Maybe if you didn't have me on ignore, you wouldn't have written the above. I already explained that I knew the C was supposed to be an improvement over the T. But I didn't notice any shortage of the same old cries for help that came from the T users. In contrast, look at the Vivi Nova. The V1 was terrible. Everyone complained about it. The V2 was so much better that you hear few complaints anymore. There aren't forums about the V1 and V2 and how to make them work right. People don't buy the V1 anymore and the V2 was a genuine upgrade. If the eGo-C was a real improvement over the T, you wouldn't hear so many continuing complaints about them either.
I had one of those bad atty packs. After tinkering with them they're working better than the good atty pack.

Yes, I always recommend the newbie starter kit that requires you to do some re-designing based on what you had before.

That's just silly. There have been plenty of long term eGo-C users who help newbs with ego-C and eGo-T problems. Usually, they recite a litany of tweaks, then finish off by suggesting a CE4. I've never managed to scare one away yet, nor would I want to.


If you have enough posts to get out of the New Members forum you should mention this in eGo Type Models . Or simply spend some time reading that forum.
I'm not interested in hanging around reading discussions about how to make a bad system work. I'm not one to advocate throwing good money after bad. My suggestion is to replace it with something that works with some degree of reliability. No long-term tweaking required. If someone wants to explain to a distressed newbie how to fix a bad system, have at it. Maybe they should also start a forum here about how to make a G4 or a Smokymizer or a V1 CE2 work right. But it seems like only the egos get that privilege.

Since you mention burnt and flooding in the same post right off I'd assume he went from an overfilled tank that kept it from flowing to an underfilled tank that let it flow too freely.
Maybe they should mark the cartridge with a line that indicates the magic range.

With my bad atty pack they were tasting burnt. I popped the spike plate off and pushed a pin up through the wick, this loosened the wick and moved the it up, both seemed to be issues with that whole pack. If it wasn't for mentioning flooding that's what I'd look at.

You don't think I can see your posts because you are on ignore? Do you think I'm replying using my psychic ability?
All it means is I have to click a link to see your posts so I'll think twice before taking your bait if I don't have time to play or if I think the conversation is going nowhere.

This is what you said that made me assume you were including the eGo-T in your assessment, "I'm not talking strictly about the eGo-C. The eGo-T is included in that junk fest."
I'm sorry for taking that wrong.
So what is your personal experience with the Joyetech eGo-C? How long, how many atty packs?

I don't think the eGo type model forum is there because it doesn't work, it's there because it's popular. There's also a Clearomizer sub-forum, aren't you recommending them as perfection? Odd considering you think specific forums means an item is junk.
Whenever something is popular you have to expect a lot of user interface error, I worked with the public.

Yes, I always recommend the newbie starter kit that requires you to do some re-designing based on what you had before.
Nothing is perfect. Everything could use some improvement.
What I would do to the eGo-C certainly is nothing like anything I had before. I don't see where a way to easily adjust the wick without taking the spike off would apply to anything but the eGo-C or a knock off.

I've seen very few eGo-C users willing to come to the New Members forum more than a few times. I tend to ignore eGo posts here unless I have time to deal with the crap. I have heard from many who have voiced that concern. In your numbers that would be hundreds of thousands.

So your answer is for people to get clearomizers and have certain juices crack them? That doesn't sound like the perfect e-cig to me. The eGo-C may flood and leak a few drops but it doesn't dump your whole tank.

Do you know the reason I didn't go with another e-cig type? Because they are all the same junk I tried in '09. There is nothing new to change the problems that were around back then. The same problems may show up in an eGo-C but if you put some thought into it they can be avoided.
Here I am vaping a clogged atty that's prone to flooding without a problem. The technique isn't the same as the attys I've been vaping all day but it's not the end of the world.

No need for a fill line. I'm pretty sure the instructions say to leave a bubble.

*** Originaly Posted by Sailorman*** "Actually, those aren't the same thing as the "W" or F1 tank. The "W" tank has a shell with a window around the tank portion and the mouthpiece fits into that shell, rather than into the tank itself. It's kind of hard to explain, but the bottom line is that the "W"tank is not compatible with any other 510 or eGo PV that doesn't have the shell portion. It's actually like a 3 piece tank. It's 4 pieces if you count the "cap" that fits over the whole assembly. "

Hi Sailorman. I own six of these Humongomizers from good prophets, And you are correct these have a metal sleeve with windows, a mouthpiece, a top cap and a replaceable innner ce2 style cartridge. I do think these are not official f1 or w products but they work as well as my vivi nova and at about half the cost. I also have a few replacement inners also. They are eGo threaded so they would fit on any ego device. And for anyone looking to replace the cheesy whistle tip I have found that a drip tip from an 801 fits these perfectly. So to anyone who is looking I think these may be a good fit for your ego threaded devices. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

Does anyone know who will be carrying the new "Brobdingnagomizer" that seems destined to be coming out soon?

I Know . If some of these people would just try be consistant with their names it would be far less of a guessing game. But then again that is what keeps us bouncing from one product to the next, Imagine if they just called it a ce2 3.3ml metal shell with replaceable ce2 cartridge instead if ego w,or f1 or riva tank or humongomizer or superliquidarifficexpialiadoushus.... Like i said before, I like these and have not broken one and they vape like the vivi, the one thing I dont like is the inner top is silicone and since I dont syringe fill I have to pop out the cap to fill. Not a deal breaker but not as convienent as it could be.

All good-natured ribbing of the "Marketing Department" aside, thanks to all who brought the "eGo W" to my/our attention. Sounds like a winner, and I can't wait to try it out. As with a lot of things, I bet the kinks, if any, will eventually get worked out; either by the manufacturers, or the collective wizardry of the members of this site.

Cheers.

(And I do like the sound of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidociomizer").

Very slick, very cool. Joyetech strikes again.

I just downloaded and printed out the manual -

Joyetech Manual Download

- cuz I wasn't so sure what they meant by "changeable battery". It uses removable 360mah lithium ion batteries, and I guess those are standard Joyetech 510 tanks. I assume it's fixed voltage - wonder if it's 3.4, 3.7, or what? I'm gonna guess 3.7.

Looks like I'm gonna have to hail myself an eCab. :) Thanks for the heads-up!

***

3.7 volts, 120-minute charge time, charger appears to charge two batteries at once.

I didn't look that far into it that it was a changeable battery as well. I may look into one for my son, he liked my ego-c but I think his friends made fun of him because it looked goofy to them so he quit using it and went back to the analogs. He is still at the age for peer pressure (19).

Some friends. I wish him the strength to politely tell them to please stop pressuring him to do something harmful, and to go ahead and vape anyway. Nineteen is old enough to leave peer pressure in the rear view mirror. (IMHO, of course).

Maybe you're in a position to exert a little "power of the purse" over him? He is severely harming himself, after all. (I could have said nothing, but chose not to. If I have crossed a boundary and offended you, please say so and I will stop).

You haven't offended or crossed a boundry, when it comes to him quitting I take any and all advice! He has his own apartment and I no longer have the "power of the purse" over him. When I did that kid got nothing for smokes from me even before I was vaping, and plenty of lectures. Unfortunately I have to take the blame there, me and my ex husband both smoke but never indoors or in the cars, but the they learn by example, and I was not a good example when it came to not smoking. I wish he would adopt my philosophy of letting others words not affect him, but he is a much more sensative kid in that respect. He doesn't drink and always says no if pressured, same with the drugs. And he may just be telling me its peer pressure when it comes to the ecig to keep from hearing the lectures LOL. I'll try the eCab with him and go from there I guess.

Wow, you said that without using a 4 letter word like I was thinking. :)

I'm betting those friends would give him crap no matter what he vaped.

LOL! I was thinking it, believe me! Including the "-ing", I put the letter count at seven - feel free to check my math. :)

Unfortunately kids at this age still think they are indestructable and it will never happen to them. Talk about health benfits of quitting and he shuts down completely even though I am proof of some of those benefits. Once I get to go to my ex's house I'm hoping to convert him! Me and the ex are very good friends, we just weren't good married LOL
