Joyetech Ego-CC

[3DoMGX]

Hi,

No, I've been using only the parts provided by joyetech.
And no, I've been filling it from the bottom as explained in the manual.. read my post correctly, I clearly state that filling the tank isn't the problem. That part I do correct, and I also state that the leakage starts after a while.. not straight from the get go.
I've contacted the manufacturer about this, also sent them some pictures about the problem. They state that if the liquid in the tank is below 10%, there CAN be leakage... so it seems it's apparently by design.

Yea, am curious what others like you will experience with this e-cig.
Meanwhile I will wait for a second reply from Joyetech, after they studied my pictures.

Cheers!

PS: this is what they say so far:

Thanks for your E-mail and sorry for the inconvenience.
Could you please provide some pictures about your eGo-CC and the place of leakage?
In addition, kindly please pay more attention to the following:
1. When the liquid level goes below 10%, the remaining liquid may leak out. The reason is the tank cartridge use surface tension in its design.
2. Please avoid frequent removal of the tank cartridge. Only remove it when the liquid is depleted or otherwise deemed necessary.
The reason for this is that the size of the hole in the tank cartridge can increase with normal wear and tear.
This causes leaking and requires a new cartridge at that time.
3. Every user has different smoking habit. With your each time inhaling, the liquid may be not fully atomized which result in leakage.
We kindly suggest you'd better push the button 3 to 4 seconds to ensure the liquid is fully atomized while inhaling.

Number 1 is common on my other ECig clearos. People alwaays reccomend keeping the tank filled. See how it performs with these tips and let them know. I'm just weary you had to mess with the clearo post.

I see, yea will keep testing and let them know ofcourse.

What do you mean with "mess with the clearo post" ?

Hi, I bought a ego-cc joyetech as well. But I have a problem with leakage after using the device for a while, liquid builds up in the mouthpiece section. It seems that there isn't a tight enough fit between the tank and clearomizer/atomizer. I tried re-assembling the unit after cleaning all pieces, but that only helps for a while. I also noticed the wirethread in the tank wasn't straight so I used a hammer to gently put it back so the tank and clearomizer has a better fit again. But no matter what I do, screw the atomizer tight or loose, there is still leakage.. Any advice? I also notice gurgling and popping sounds when using the ego-cc. Cheers!

Ps: i don't have a problem with filling the tank, that part i've mastered.

You mentioned used a hammer to put the wire thread back..I was not sure what that meant exactly. I wish I had mine so I could take it apart and check out all the parts.

Ahh that, yea the thread of the Clearomizer tube. I noticed it wasn't fully in the tube, some was sticking out. So I gently put it back to make sure the Clearomizer Base fits tightly with the Clearomizer tube.
Yea, that would make it more clear indeed or look at the picture in the manual:

Remove the bottom and atomizer head cap? Do you do that each time you need to refill or did you completely remove them altogether? Wouldn't the juice come gushing out without the silicone hole??

You hold it upside down while you do it. And no, the juice does not drip out the mouthpiece, its not directly connected to the fluid chamber.

 

[villagejazz]

When I get my new one in I'll post another video on how to fill it.

@Msimindlessmsi

I too am having issues filling the new CC and would +1 a video on it!

Cheers

See, I'm not having this experience at all. When I fill it through the atomizer end, the juice just floods out the other. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.

Oh nevermind, I figured it out. I was just filling up the chamber itself, not putting juice directly into the hole. I think I figured it out now

 

[sze5003]

It can be a bit of a pain if you have normal size nosed liquid bottles. I've wasted a good amount of juice trying to line up the nozzle with the hole and get the juice in there. I think all juices should come with those needle nose heads.

I also have been getting gargling/sputtering when drawing. Regardless how full the tank is. I'm also getting liquid that builds up near the mouthpiece time to time. I've been clearing the tank out by blowing air through the bottom of the tank and excess liquid will exit where the mouthpiece goes. I take the mouthpiece off while clearing it out this way. This has been the most successful way for me to clear the sputtering in the vent areas so far.

I'm not sure if some of the 100% VG liquids I use from ecblend.com is too thick and if that causes anything with gargling? For the majority it's really good vapor even if it sputters.

To give it a good cleaning I remove the seal and mouthpiece then rinse with water and give a few shakes while closing up both ends of the tank. I blow through the bottom of the tank to get as much water out and let it dry for a bit before using again.

It seems to help quite a bit by holding the button for 2-3 seconds before drawing and also to draw slowly. I seem to get the gargling when I draw faster. Slower draws also give a nice thick vapor.

If I take out the silicone seal - I put it back in place by placing the seal on the atomizer head and then lining it up and inserting into the tank and screw in the battery/atomizer end which then pushes the seal back into place with a good seal. If you push this seal in too far you can run into leaking issues due to the seal being farther away from the atomizer head. You can easily remove the seal with a toothpick or paperclip.


I use needle tip caps from ecblend.com and they work great for the CC - Blunt Tip Needle Cap - ECBlend


I'm going to order extra silicone seals in hopes that replacing them time to time will help avoid leakage into the vent area. They're very inexpensive. I'm also ordering a second tank to see if the first tank I purchased might be slightly defective. I purchased from Cignot and it's a great site and friendly customer service.

@aguz916: Good post, didn't know the silicone seals could be replaced. Very usefull info, and thanks for the links!

 

[sze5003]

Thanks for all that info. I have some juice in mine now that I want to get rid of. Good thing you can remove the silicone seal and easily place it back by putting it on top the atomizer first. This will help when I want to clean my tank out with water and let it dry.

Oooh! How do you get that center hole bit out? Tweezers? Mine's brand new (like yesterday) and I don't want to screw it up and break it just yet. Does it pop right back in?

 

[poisonedorange]

NM. I got it sorted. I took that silicone bit out with a toothpick. Washed it out real good. I love this thing! Most helpful post I've read on this board. Thanks!

Lovin' that design!

I toasted a battery last week, and I suspect it was from e-juice leaking from my Evod tank into the battery head (although it coulda been from when the battery slipped out of my pocket into a saltwater pod I was bent over a few days before, or a combination of the two...)

This would be a good solution for that, and maybe (hopefully) the genesis of a new method to sweep the industry! I dunno about all of you, but regularly wiping out the inside of my battery head gets old.

I just got my new cc yesterday. After realizing the instructions were wrong and having to clean out the pipes to stop the gurgling it works pretty well. Only weird thing is i get a lot of popping when vaping. Is popping bad? Im using a 70/30 solution. Also ive noticed that the vapor can be a bit harsh on the throat and lungs if i pull for more than a second or two. Other than that no flooding or leaking so far, which is awesome! Oh yes, and on the popping question i a using an ego-c 1000 as a battery.

 

[aguz916]

Another thing I'm noticing is that I'm not really getting much of any gurgling when I don't tighten the atomizer head cap so much. Try tightening the head cap just enough so that it's taught but not so loose that it will move easily. This allows for the atomizer to push up against the seal more to create a better seal. I think I was tightening it too much.

The battery you're using shouldn't impact the liquid since the clearomizer has a base and no liquid touches the battery. I'm using 100% VG e-liquid and it's smooth and thick vapor. Higher PG liquids will hit your throat more harshly from what I've read and I have tried one PG liquid and didn't like it. If it's a light popping sound, it might just be the liquid atomizing. If it's loud then maybe make a video of the popping you're getting and post it here so people can see and hear what you're experiencing. And you have the Joyetech CC right? Not the Kranger CC? Just checking...

I don't think you're talking about the same gear here... I'm confused by your post. We've been talking about the Joyetech Ego-CC to my understanding. No liquid ever touches the battery given the design of the Ego-CC. See image below. The battery secures to the base on the left in this image...

Good stuff! I used a paper clip. Bent the end of it with some pliers to make a tiny hook. I suggest you look into the replacement silicone seals as well. I just ordered a bunch from Cignot.com.
