Just Got My Ego-T and I'm Loving It But I Still Have 1 Dumb Question.

[blahzay]

First off let me say "Thank You" to the amount of answers I got to my questions. Most forums just say "Use google, try the search feature, etc" but here people answer questions that I know are asked 100's of times per week. Again thank you!

The question I have is I just received my ego T. Now I havent added anything (as of yet, still waiting on delivery) but it comes with 5 of the plastic see through pieces that you place your e-juice in (sorry, dont know the name). I guess I would call them the tips. LOL. Well my question is, once you fill it up and finish all the e-juice...can I just pull it out and fill it up again and re-use it or is it like a 1 time use thing and I have to use one of the other 5 they sent me?

BTW, what are those called so I know when I have to order more. LOL. Thanks.

Pull it out, refill it and put it back in and vape! Eventually, the hole where the spike goes will wear and begin to leak. If you have the ones with the silicone caps instead of the plastic ones, you can get longer use out of them. Refilling a tank can be done from a bottle, but the best way is through a syringe. You can get syringes at the pharmacy or from juice suppliers or at Tractor Supply, if there's one near you. Just pop the needle into the bottle opening, turn it up side down, and pull the plunger back. Shoot it slowly into the tank and pop it back on the atty.

You also might want to try Boge 510 LR (low resistance) cartos. Cartos give you maximum flavor and last as long as a week before you toss them and pop on another one.

The carto filling method shown below takes under a minute and saturates a carto really well.

Welcome! Those are the tanks and are refillable I also have an eGo-T, love it!! Enjoy

I use the SmokTech DCC and for the past 3 weeks i have been using pretty much exclusively one flavor and cartomizer for like 3 weeks now (possibly longer) and it is still going strong. Its starting to get gunked up though, but i have a shipment coming and im switching to CE2's so i dont really want to start a new carto yet. But I usually get like 3-4 weeks out of a carto before i change it due to the draw becoming irritatingly hard

The tank atomizer of a T model uses "tanks" to distinguish them from the plastic and stuffing "cartridges" aka carts that come with a normal atomizer model of Ego.

Yes - you can rinse and refill tanks. If the door on the tank breaks some place sells better replacement doors.

I also recommend you learn to use cartomizers and I recommend simple metal ones like Boge, the most popular cartomizers for 510-threaded devices. Then you can use a cartomizer for plastic-damaging cinnamons, for clingy strong flavors you don't want in your atomizers, and as a backup if you have atomizer problems.

I also recommend a standard 510 atomizer and 510 drip tip for testing juices.

And re tanks - they like thinner juices like PG w/ 30% or less VG though 100% PG may be more prone to leak. Some thinner 50/50 juices might work. You can find some things that may help filling at Gotvapes - search there for bottle and in the 4 pages of results you will fine a needle-tipped bottle, special narrow-ended tips to put on your juice bottles, a pipette. For Boge cartos I prefer juices with 20% or less VG though 30% will work (the carto just may not work well as long)

I abandoned tanks quick for cartomizers. Boge 510 lr were my fav with ego batteries.

No matter what I tried, tanks kept leaking for me. Soft bottoms, tip covers, etc... still would get a big leak when the liquid would get to about a third of the tank. Not sure if it was a pressure burp or whathaveyou, but it got messy a LOT. Cartos like Boge or SMOOV seem to be really solid performers, so you can't go wrong there. My personal favorite are the 3.5ml Clear Giant cartomizers. They hold a TON of juice, and the latest versions don't require a syringe to fill. The ONLY time I've had one of those guys leak on me was in a pressurized cabin of an aircraft.

Just my two pennies.

The amount of air in the tank determines how easy it is for liquid to escape into the feeder tube. It's a lot like a hamster feeder. As the hamster drinks, air bubbles enter the tube to replace the liquid that comes out, resulting in equilibrium in pressure inside the tank relative to air pressure outside the tank.

My take on the tank is the the quick flooding is a result of the air bubble in the tank growing larger. When you first fill a tank, the air bubble is small. As you vape, more air replaces the liquid you vape, and the large bubble is larger and more elastic. Air expands and contracts with temperature and pressure. Eventually, the bubble grows so large that a slight jostle causes downward pressure on the juice and it releases too much liquid because the bubble expands as the downward forces increases.
