New EGO TANK system.

[cozzicon]

These are sounding more & more like a winner...I might cave soon & get the kit....must resist...must resist......

Try and give it a couple more weeks. I think all the early adopters will have better info for you.

My biggest question at the moment is when does the cartridge wear out and start leaking?

And what is the going rate for replacement parts?

How long will the atomizer last?

Can they be cleaned, and by what method?

If the answers to those questions are reasonable, then I will dubb the eGo-T as my "New main vape". But in reality- a lot of miles need to be put on this thing before it really shines.

A new car always smells new. A new transmission, always costs a lot. And a new PV is a lot like a new car.

It's very amazing this new tank. I want one.

I would also like to know how long the atomizers last, because a 16 bucks a pop I hope they get at least 3 weeks to a month. I wonder how much of a markup TW has on them.

I would imagine that when the joyetech version is available you will fine the price down at around $10.00- or on par to the eGo Mega atties.

No- there's no inside information here. It's an assumption. But generally things are more expensive at release, and the Joytechs are only backed by a vendor replacement policy... which is usually only DOA.

I would hope that they last at least a month. Because my $11.95 Mega atty is going on 110 days. And from what I have been reading, many don't see a huge difference in the two.

I think what Everyone is waiting for is the "Dry Burn Report".

Is there a Joytech website that has them yet? Or is TW the only US supplier as of now? No offense to anyone, but even if TW had some more in stock I'm not going to pay $24 (atty and tanks) to have something with that tacky devil face on it. Why not a subtle "TW" or something. Does anyone know of any vendors that have an arrival estimate for these? Thanks for the reponses.

Not yet- unless I've missed something.

My understanding is that a Joytech version will be available through the usual suspects like Cignot and others.

UPDATE:

So... after 23 days of use of my first atomizer, it is still doing very well,
i can't say it's still exactly on par of a new one, i'd say it is performing like a well mantained ego mega atty after same time of 'my' use (approx. 6ml per day, about 140-150ml in total), still plenty of vapor and great taste.
I had to perform some cleaning about every 30ml of use.
That means it was tortured by 4 dryburn-cleaning-cycles
After the cleaning both vapor and taste were successfully reset.

i did clean it same way i usually do with my ego mega atties:
a couple of minutes under hot tap water, repeatedly blowing through it, 3 times of 6-7 seconds glowing red, filled with PGA and shaked for a couple of minutes to remove the burnt dust, blowing again, then a very soft dryburn to just let the PGA evaporate. Done.
It do works like it always worked with my mega's,
but please remember dryburns may shorten responsiveness of the coil in the long term, and be careful, you don't wanna pop a 30$ atty.
Anyway i prefer to have an atty with a good flavour and consistent vapor for 1 months an a half (of my vaping style) than a 3 months atty that sucks after a week

Wow ournature you vape a lot!

So for somone like me who vapes around half a tank a day in the week and MAYBE a whole tank during the 2 day weekend - how long could I expect an atty to last if I use it and maintain it correctly etc?

A tad off topic, but I have so little computer time at work an home...

I ordered mine from OVALE USA STORE and arrived within 5 calendar days. "Trevor" (super cool dude behind the curtain, AKA, the guy that runs the site) was very helpful. He's mentioned earlier in this thread I believe, and they also take PayPal which is rather safe. Anyway, it's 10 bucks more than TW, but worth it IMHO.

Anyway... I've had mine since the Jan the 3rd and COULD NOT BE happier!! Flooded a tad (b*ng hit gurgle) once because I kept it in a vertical position. (tip pointed up) My simple fix was to pull the tank out, use it like a "drip" giddyup for about 10 to 15 drags, and all was well. Filled 'er back up and kept conscious of keeping the do-dad level, or tip pointed downward (specifically when not in use) and its been 91.4389% flawless.

Is it the Holy Grail for the 'lazies' that are looking to make a super simple transition from analogs..??? Nuhh..uhh... But it's one step closer in helping the 'technically challenged' analoger looking to find an e-ciggy that's just as easy as chemically altered tobacco, paper, filter, then flame.

~cheers~

P.S. I really kinda like the 5 bump battery on/off thingy. I've ready some complaints about it. And when pressing the battery on button, it will only stay energized for 15 or 20 seconds. I've read of people complaining of the battery prematurely failing, but it hasn't been my experince thus far. So as of now.. saw'll good.

I will be trying just that. Because when I took out my carts and blew through my two attys this morning, I blew a good 4 - 5 large drops out of each one, which I could probably have gotten a good 10 draws from... These carts literaly biblically flood the atty bowl... I'll insert cart, have a few draws and then about 5 draws with cart out and then replace cart etc and see how that goes... Or I might not bother as I've had no probs really yet and bought mine on Dec 22nd. Certainly no gargles. Only reason I might try that is to just stretch the juice out longer and vape what's in the atty wick / bowl before letting more in there...

Words of wisdom!!!

i just cant wait for it to awaluable so i could buy it and vape

After one week, I'm still happy with the kit I got from ovaleusa and the response from Trevor to customer questions is excellent. The batteries are lasting an astounding 12-13 hours of moderate use! I attribute this to the efficiency of the atty/tank combo; I can get a satisfying mouth-full of vapor in less than 4 seconds of batt activation.

There is one downside that may affect the decision-making of others: The atty (according to its designer via Trevor) does not process juice with a high VG content very well. Using 60PG/40VG is pushing it, 50/50 will likely cause wick clogging and a burnt taste—70/30 is the optimum juice choice. (For my more flavorful VG juices, I use my 510 atty.)

To fix a clog/burnt taste or otherwise clean the atty, soak briefly in warm water, blow out from the battery end and air dry completely. Dry burning is not recommended because it may affect the wick material on the reservoir end. The hidden bridge is large and not covered in mesh.

I'm not sure I entirely understood the designer's description of exactly how the tank works—English is definitely a second language for him—but it seems to me that he said the flow of juice is controlled by the inhalation of the user. If you inhale too hard or in rapid secessions (hot boxing), this will lead to flooding the reservoir below the wick. Inhaling too lightly will cause the wick to become dry, reduce the amount of vapor and possibly cause a burnt taste. Learning this caused me to have a phase of self-consciousness similar to when I started vaping... ;-) A gentle, steady inhalation gives me the best result.

This would be a HUGE downside to me because the juices I like are 30% PG | 70% VG.

I'm using mine with what is basically Ecopure.... slightly diluted with 10% alcohol (151 Bacardi).

Now that my leaking problem is resolved..... I'm just vaping it. No burnt taste or obvious coil starvation. But my vapor is a bit "thin and airy". Certainly not a super-wet wick/coil combination, but not fully starved either.

 

[ournature]

Thanks sjct for sharing Trevor suggestions.
The juice viscosity issue may vary from atty to atty though.
Anyway 70/30 80/20 do works best for most of my T-atties.

How would you compare it to a MEGA eGo atty hit wise?

I have to say- I'm using a 50/50 PG/VG mix and it's hitting fine.

Might be this particular atomizer.

Yep, that's why I thought I should mention what the designer said.
