New EGO TANK system.

[kardenm]

the whistling sound comes from the atty to battery connection area.
Try screwing or unscrewing the atty very slowly while drawing until you don't hear the whistle anymore.
Also if you find the right spot (no whistling and harder draw) your tank will wick better.

I don't know about everyone else but I have had to drill extra air holes in all of my t-attys and also did the same in my cone covers before I went to the tank system.

I drill one or two, 1/16th inch holes in the side at just the right spot to clear the threads on the battery and below the actual bottom of the atty itself. NOT EASY TO DO but can be done with great care. I wish the manufacturers would provide better air flow holes from the start. The tiny holes provided just are not enough IMO. But, with the holes I drill, performance is significantly improved and I'm having great success with the eGo-T system. I've quit using all my other various models altogether! Love it.

Sorry wrong thread

If anyone is using a T atty on a big battery mod and want to get it down flush with the battery..... I described a mod I did on an eGo battery extender.

A question for Uncle Screwtape or anyone else who've dissected one of these attys -- from way back here in the thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...39915-new-ego-tank-system-47.html#post2713280. And specifically this image:

All my attys are still technically functional, so I haven't done my own dissecting yet. Since you've opened it up, maybe you could answer a couple of questions?

From poking around, it seems that piece #1 from the left has two holes: one obvious one down the center; using a pin with a bent tip, I think I can feel another one on the side, just past the threads. Is there really one there? And if so, where does it go?

Do you (or anyone else) know what piece #5 (from left) is for? It's a metal mesh I think. It absorbs e-juice, but it is separated from the tungsten filament by a layer of ceramic, so it doesn't seem to contribute to the e-vape-orization directly. It seems like some air flows through it, which makes me think that maybe that second hole in #1 (if there is one) feeds the air there. If there isn't an extra hole in #1, do you see where air could be introduced through the mesh?

Is #5 like a back up reservoir? That would only make sense if there was a clear way for the juice to flow into the filament. But it's separated by the ceramic cup. Are those feeder holes on the side of the ceramic cup surrounding the filament?

Have you been able to reassemble it?

Do you have any thoughts about reassembling it after cutting some of the mesh off and rolling it up slightly looser? A couple of my attys have a ridiculously hard draw to them like sucking through a skinny red WD-40 straw -- not very enjoyable to vape with. It's not due to gunk, they came that way new (I know, bogus!). All the cleaning in the world doesn't help either. I'm thinking that maybe they could be redeemed by loosening up that mesh a bit? That is, if it's possible to put it all back together.

And then, just curious and a little off my topic, how do the wire leads reconnect?

That's a lot of questions! Hope you don't starting thinking this is like Pandora's Atty.

Cheers!

I always assumed that the heater is wrapped around a wick that is in contact with the mesh from looking at a diagram of a 510 atty ages ago.
At a guess .. the mesh catches excess juice and feeds it back to the heater before it drips out the bottom hole

I find the ego-t can be a bit tight on the draw too but its usually improved slightly after a rinse. Would love a easier draw too..

I have one dead one disassembled but not pulled the heater and ceramic cup from the assembly yet.

 

[Stonemull]

ok, further dismantled mine, the heater has no wick, just a coil that has been squashed to a more rectangular profile.

The ceramic cup has 4 holes around the outside but the airflow is straight through the centre, there is even a small plastic pipe insert on top of the connector that would guide the air through the centre hole and around the heater. Hole in this is the same size as the hole in the battery connector.

I have seem mention that tight draw is the heater sitting right over the hole in the cup, it appears this is the only area that the draw could be tight .. its a straight run from the hole to the heater .. in light of this i just jammed a safety pin up the battery hole of my atty till i met the heater, and gave it a nudge. It has improved it a little anyway. ymmv

I don't think much, if any, air goes through the mesh. Like stonemull said, I think it just collects stray juice and the holes in the cup allow it to get vaped eventually.


eta.... No, I have not tried to put it together again yet. I just haven't had enough free time lately.

So I tried a quick mod this morning and It worked well.

I had an atty that just wouldn't work right, it didn't seem to wick well. It had a needle plate that I had pulled by the needle (before I learned to pull the plate from the edges) and seemed a bit damaged. So I thought to myself, screw it, who needs that stinking needle anyway. So I took a new tank, made a small hole in the cap, about 1mm, and snaked some wick (from a CE2) through the hole so that there was a loop inside the tank and two ropes sticking out. I made a couple of air holes in the cap as well with a tiny sewing needle. I pulled enough wick out to touch the coil when the tank was inserted. Filled the tank, snapped on the cap and hoped for the best.

So I start vaping and WOW. Huge vapor, big clean taste and no leaks. The only problem was it went through juice like a drunk goes through a bottle of cheep wine.

I need to play some more, but I may be on to something. It seems that most people's issues with the T relate to not wicking enough juice. There is a lot less restriction on the flow with this method.

 

[CountVapula]

could i use a ego-t battery with a 510 LR atty? would i need an adapter? sorry for the noob question but i figured if anyone knows its you guys. the reason im asking is i need a good battery for my 510 attys and i found a mega ego-t battery for a good price.

You can use a ego-t battery for a 510 lr atty. The eGo t battery has a 510 thread, therefore anything 510 can be use on it.

awesome, thanks. i might have to purchase a ego-t LR atty and see how that goes, the ego-t seems like a great setup in theory, im just not sold, ill admit i havent done much research, im not sure ill be 100% satisfied. does anyone know how a LR ego-t compares to a LR 510?

Heh, I didtry a similar thing with a spike plate fitted onto a debridged XL A atty when my first tank atty died.
YouTube - ego T massacre

I then tried almost exactly what you did, with the spike plate removed and just a piece of CE2 wick in the end of a tank, just a with a debridged atty. It was the best vape I have ever had for about half an hour then just seemed to lose its awesomeness. I actually think with all the vapour it puts out, it dulls the taste buds after a while. Though the amount of vape did seem to drop as well.

Does give me hope that a better atty is out there somewhere waiting to be invented.

I think you are both onto something. One thing that I noticed is the tanks have a tendency to flood and all that extra juice hampers the atty functioning properly. When I took mine apart I noticed that the mesh was SATURATED. I thought that the atty was dying. Not so, just flooded. I would try and use the tank with the wick but don't puncture any additional holes in it. That would help prevent it from draining so quickly and flooding the atty. If your vapor production drops off dramatically try and put in the dummy mouth piece that comes with the tankomizer and drag on that. You should find, as I have, the vapor production will jump back up after a little "dry vaping". I do this to the point that I ALMOST get a SLIGHT burnt taste and then pop the tank back in. Vapes like a champ till it gets oversaturated again. I am also thinking of somehow shortening and making the puncture needle smaller so that I don't get quite the volume of juice dumping in to the atty. Let me know if this works for you and updates to Mods on the tank/atty.

HEY found a great deal litecigusa has the tank atomizer for 10.95 right now i just grabed a few so i guess i`ll let you guys know now that mine are on the way

i ended up with this solution too--it was such a hassle putting the tank in and out refilling the tank flooding the atty putting in the blank tip vaping it down putting in the tank flooding the atty. that i finally just started using the atty as a super drip atty(using the tank condom to hold a standard 510 drip tip in place or alternating with the blank tip cause i like the shape.) it actually worked pretty nicely as a dripper. held about 10 drops--basically as much as most of the carts i started out with. but got pretty clogged and a new shipment of ego cartomizers, fluxomizers and good solid ego atomizers came in and i went back to basics.

Interesting upcoming new (metal?) 1.5ml cartridge for ego-t systems..
check this 3d.

Weird. They don't seem to be round at any end.
How will(/would) they fit on ego batteries?

Perhaps it's a complete new system.

Not a new system..
i think the one in the pic it's just the cartridge, with a little window to check juice level.
I suppose they fit in the current cone-shape ego t-atomizer.

They're saying .99cm thickness. My eGo-T atty and tanks measure 10.5mm - 10.6mm or 1.05cm - 1.06cm. Do you think that's an o-ring on there to the fill that gap maybe?
