My thoughts on the ego(T)

Great job on the write up tsb.

One thing I wanna add with removing the plate from the atty. I find that the 3 1/2" hemostat works AWESOME. It really makes the job a whole lot easier than the other methods. Here's a pick for those who might not know what they look like:

Amazon.com: Aven 12002 SS Hemostat, Curved, 3-1/2": Industrial & Scientific

Just grip both sides of the plate and pull. That's all there is to it.

Thanks for the site and picture, I will look for one of those.

I just found out that you really don't need the wick at all. I just took mine out and it works great. You just need to take one or two good pulls on it without pushing the button to get the juice down to the coil. You get about 4-5 good hits and then you need to give it a couple more pulls. Pretty much like direct dripping. I will advise that I've only tried this on one atty so I don't know if this will work for everybody. But if you're like I was and are about to give up on the ego-t, give it a shot. This took mine from unusable to my all day PV in about 20 seconds.

Interesting... anybody else tried this? Sounds like it may work?

No problem, glad I could help out

Not sure, IMO it may cause flooding of the atty because there's nothing stopping the flow of juice.

That's the thing. The juice doesn't flow at all if you don't suck on the mouthpiece first. The thing basically works on displacement. When you suck on the mouthpiece you remove the air at the bottom of the atty which gives the juice room to flow. The only way I've been able to make it leak is by sucking too hard on the mouthpiece and getting too much juice to drip onto the atty, basically flooding it.

Trying it now - removed plate/wick - put tank on atty (noEgo 14500)... it works. 70/30 pg/vg BWB RY4 stays in the tank and doesn't drip out of the puncture hole, if left alone. 2 STRONG drags without the button depress to load the atty's coil cup. It does work. The flavor is still different/more muted than from a mega dual coil cartomizer and also less satisfying than direct dripping onto an LR306, but it's there. I bet with some artistry and timing, you could take a strong drag and in the middle of it push the button and get an ok vape going.
