I have been using my Ego T for about a week without a problem (my husbands broke but mine was fine) anyways today when I'm using my Ego T I'm tasting juice GROSS! I don't get that good flavor anymore. I'm using the blue tanks that came with the system. I also have a 510 and without fail I get juice on my lips every single time. I either have really crappy stuff or I'm doing something wrong.

Help please!!!

ok with the ego t(tank set up) they need to be cleaned every so often, you can find ways to do so on youtube just by searching ego t cleaning(there are various ways to do so pick the one you think is best, its kind of like those one size fits all gloves)

a good cleaning can help get rid of bad taste as the coils can start to get gunk build up from heating the juice.

also for the juice in the mouth issue, the most common reason for that is improper vaping(drawing to hard). you want to try to inhale normally with no real force. low and slow, then exhale. as that will give you the best vapor production and not cause too much back pressure which ends up drawing too much juice and coming out the mouth piece

From what I have been told the tanks are an older technology. The atty in them in my experience gets dirty real quick. My Clearo that I did not like at fist because i used too high a voltage is now the one I use along with a Carty with a tank you can clean easy and change the Atty in it. I plan on retiring my ego tank when the attys run out.
For cleaning help here is a link to something i found helpful. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...er-cleaned-simple-cheap-effective-method.html
Hope this helps. I'm new but learning and as I go it gets easier.

If you need to, can you run down to a convenient store, and get a disposable to get you through the night or a couple days til you get the stardust? I haven't used the tank systems so am not really familiar with them. But here are a few basic things.

Vapor's tongue: It happens, suddenly everything you've loved tastes really nasty. I usually vape a super strong peppermint like vapedude's ice ice to kick start my tastebuds again. You can get a free 10 ml sample bottle using the code fbfree they do about 15 a day, it resets sometime around midnight, give or take a couple hours. So if it doesn't work, try later.

Use alcohol and qtips or alchohol prep swabs to clean the battery connection and the threads on whatever you're attaching to the batt connection every day or every other day. Carbon or something black will build up on those and that can make juice taste bad.

With the stardust or vivis etc, definitely clean em and dry burn every few tankfuls. I also always rinse after a dryburn to get off anything that might have burned off, but didn't fall off. You don't have to wait for the them to dry again, dry burn, rinse, blot wicks with paper towel, assemble, fill, vape. Hope you got the replaceable stardust, they're a million times easier to clean and maintain.

Have you tried the new clearos? The rebuildable CE's and the vivi's work out much better ymmv.

I've never used that setup before, but there is a "MacGyver" technique called "stove Piping". Ive had atty's with no drip drips/catridges and direct dripped and just hit it. You gotta be careful not to burn your lips, or get juice in your mouth (vape vertically), but can get by in a pinch.
