My Ego-T does not leak with 60VG/40PG

[dmj4]

I love my Ego-T with LR atty..I really love it. I had only ordered 80PG/20VG juice until I placed and order last week with KBV. I got their 60VG/40PG mix. I have not had any leaks since then. Tonight, I decided to go back to one of the 80PG/20PG bottles because I was really craving an analog and wanted a tobacco flavor and the 80/20 is all I had in tobacco flavor.Well, I got leaks again.

I was thinking of doing a little more of a PG than 40 next time because I feel my flavors are muted with so much VG. What mixture would be safest? I remember reading that the Ego-T may be rated for 65/35. If you were me would you do 50/50 or 60PG.40VG? I don't want to get too thin like the 80PG/20VG mix. I'm a little afraid to go with KBV 70PG/30VG, because it may be too close to the 80/20.

Thanks for the help. I know nothing about the mixtures and changes 10% here or there makes. I do get double flavor, so that may thin it a little anyway.

My eGo T's leak at random times for no reason than I can tell. There may be something to what you're saying but it could also be a coincidence or due to something else--like using different tanks for the two juices. You may need more time to be sure.
I've been at this for months with A and B T models and I love them except for the occasional random leaking.

At any rate, interesting. (I use 100% PG and the same tank and fill with a syringe, so no leaking due to taking the tank apart.
I also use the ceramic tops, which are supposed to be better, but I don't see any difference.)

EDit: I meant to say silicon tops, not ceramic.

I have rotated the same 5 tanks for the entire 8 weeks. I bought some of the silicon caps for the tanks. I couldn't tell that helped too much with the 80PG/20VG juice. I fill with a syringe, too.

I will wait about celebrating..and give it more time.

One thing I don't get and that is where people talk about decreased flavor. I only have one juice, so far, that tastes better in my Go-Go (cartos) than my Ego-T LR tanks. The others taste better in Ego-T LR.

It may be that I just like the low resistance better. I've not used a regular atty with the Ego-T. My kit was made up at the store and it had LR attys from the start.

At some point, I will most likely get a mod, but I will need one that has the taste of the Ego-T LR atty. I'll wait until I have a better understanding of how to get what I like in one.

I mix all of my own juices, and I think that 75% PG / 25% VG is the ultimate mix for Ego-T Tanks.

Juice too thin = flooding and leaking
Juice too thick = clogging attys

I think this is a good mix for overall performance - including taste and vapor. I also believe that the taste in an Ego-T Tank is hard to beat, making it one of the top contenders in medium priced PVs. I must add that I think a little bit of juice and/or condensation is normal around the atty - after all - that's how it works. If it was dry around the atty, it would also be a dry hit. I also find it ironic that some high-priced PVs have adapters so that Ego-T atomizers and tanks can be used on them. Provari is one example.

The designer of the eGo-T, Ovale, published juice specifications:

65/35 PG/VG is recommended. I wish vendors and Joyetech would make this more well known.

Outside of spec: I've used 70/30 and 50/50 with success.

I might give this a try, even though I'm having good luck with 75/25. By the way, do you know when this recommendation was made and for what configuration?

The information was given to me by Ovale USA at the time I did my review of them. That info was also confirmed by Ournature, who had earlier access to them in Italy. (Neither of us are associate with the vendor. We just got them in the first round of sales).

There are multiple posts on this site which recommend the ratio. But sadly it hasn't been showing up on vendor sites. Which in my mind tends to cause problems when people use a ratio outside of 70/30 to 50/50- with 65/35 being optimal.

Although I haven't gotten anything specific from Ovale, I think you can go slightly heavier on the PG with the B tanks (experience). And the 510-Ts are the same as the type A.

Yea, I have used the 40/60 pg/vg KBV that the OP is talking about and I mainly use 70/30 in my ego-t with no problems whatsoever. You just have to be gentle with the tank. I even fill mine with a syringe so I don't have to take the cap off. The only ratio that has given me a problem is 100% vg. It wicks very slowly and if you try to take a double hit or anything, it tastes a bit dry. I get the occasional liquid around where the tank goes in but this is very rare and not enough to worry aobut. I would say go ahead with the 70/30 from KBV and I'm not sure why the 80/20 gives you a problem. I haven't tried the 70/30 from KBV yet but it shoulnd't leak unless there is something wrong with your specific setup

I've gone just over a month with 3 Type B Atomizers without any cleaning or changing tanks. All 3 are at 75/25 and I want to see how long it takes for one of them to slow down in performance to the extent that it needs cleaning. All I've done so far is blow them out with my mouth. I'll run a test with the thicker liquid at 65/35 once they start slowing down. Maybe the reason they don't list the recommended mix is all of the personal preferences and existing juice inventories of tons of vendors. I'm going to guess that many don't have a clue about the mixes they buy - they just know what flavors they like. The juice I've bought (store-bought) wasn't marked. I make all of my own juices now and only have problems with certain types of juices - probably something to do with sugar or oil based flavors I'm guessing.
