New EGO TANK system.

[Hotwire]

Just posting to ask how many others are finding the vapor on these dry, airy and kind of wispy.

2 tanks into the new aty and that is all I'm getting. And the first atty was exactly the same but due to the novelty of it being my first pv I didn't care too much.

Tbh reviews I've read or watched of egos in general aren't that positive outside of supplier reviews in my experience.

I will be looking to upgrade in a cpl of months when I can afford it. Will probably give the ego away and get a self juiceing box mod or Leo. That's if dripping with the ego when I get some 501 attys and drip tips in isn't a notch above my tank cart experience. If it is better dripping then I'll keep the ego and use the carts for when I got out at weekends and will have to hotbox the heck out of it for a satisfying vape and then clean after the weekend for the next weekend's usage etc.

Will try a 3rd tank of one of the more expensive juices I bought when I got home tonight but if there is no improvement I'm back on the Dunhills and will just have to start working out more. Either that or just hotbox the heck out of it regardless of atty damage and wait until I get new 501 attys and drip tip etc...

I wouldn't call the vapor dry, airy, or wispy. Compared to a LR510 atomizer, it is more mild, and not as thick. If you are considering a Leo, I think you may disappointed. I find the Leo atty to be pretty good and have good flavor, but I also find it drier then the eGo-T, plus the draw is tight in comparison. Course that is only my opinion. I would suggest a LR 510 atomizer of some kind and a drip tip for it.

 

[Hotwire]

Yes, I guess so. I'm raring to go and try dripping on regular 51o / and reg 510 bridgless attys.

I seem to be reaching my final opinion on the ego-t and it is - use as a carry around ouside the house.

Perhaps a step up from carts or cartos for when out and about (I don't have much experience with either to compare) but not great for vaping all in all and probably not a substitute for dripping (again based only on reading and vids I've perused, not on experince.)

also - I do not get many draws from a full 1.2ml tank. These do go through juice.....

I am also noticing less flavor. Popped in a 2.0 boge and flavor was thick. Back to tank and it's thin and weak. Maybe with some break in time this will improve. May also need to look into adjusting the juice for more vapor.

I have seen several people mention that when they first started using the eGo tank system they noticed something similar. The most common solutions are to make sure your using something like an 80% PG 20% VG juice (100% VG doesn't wick as well), make sure the tank is only about 3/4 full to prevent creating a suction inside the tank that causes the wick to not work as well, when you initially pierce the tank on the atomizer it is suggested that you rotate it 306deg a couple times to make sure the tank is properly pierced, and finally since the wicking is based on suction and airflow and not gravity they also suggest that you give a new tank a few short quick drags to get the juice flowing properly.

I haven't yet had a chance to use the new eGo tank system, but I have been keeping a very close eye on it and this is the info I have come up with so far. As always, YMMV ...

 

[ImEatingSeeds]

Okay -- so just so I can get this straight, do you need to get a different TYPE of atty if you want to try out the Tank cartridges?

I just ordered an eGo from Janty which comes with their warrantied atty, and their tawa atty...and I ordered some tanks from the guys over @ Wicked.

Can't I just pop the tank cartridges onto the regular atomizer that comes with my eGo? IF the answer is no, then what type of atomizer should I be looking for, and where would I find them?

Thanks guys!!

With 2 attys so far, none of the above has made a fig of differene to the vapor production.

When at the Jantykorea store the guy said the vapor I was getting was what was to be expected, nothing more, nothing less.

The eGo tank system is different from the standard 510 attys and carts or cartomizers. Joye makes a special atty that resembles an eGo cone. You put the tanks into this special Joye atty.

Right now the only places I know that are selling Joye eGo tank attys and tanks are Ovale and Totally Wicked. But apparently Vapor Kings, Heaven Gifts, and Health Cabin should have them soon.

There has got to be a varying level of quality on these things. My two atties have performed on par with the eGo Mega cone/cylinder system

I've been holding off on posting a very positive followup review on these because I'm waiting for them to "suck".

*shrug*

 

[ImEatingSeeds]

Thanks for the quick and informative response!

I remember when I first started with this stuff back in '08, we only DREAMT of having the type of vapes that are now so abundantly available on the market. After 2 years of off and on vape exploration, I feel like this has all finally become workable and practical for pack-a-day smoker like me.

The tank system was something I'd thought, hoped, and dreamt about for a very long time as well, and I'm glad to see it's a real flippin technology being used now.

I ordered Janty's eGo USB XL starter kit, 5 510 cartomizers, some drip tips, a tank atty, and a box of 5 tanks to get started -- along with a sampler kit of various juices from the dudes over @ wicked.

I see that there was a recommendation for a specific proportion of VG to PG percentages as far as the best juice for tanks go. Any recommendations on the percentage of mixture, and who might be selling the good stuff?

Thanks again! So glad to be back

Lots of places let you specify your PG/VG blend. My personal preference is FreedomSmokeUSA.

Okay I need to update here.

I blew out and then boiled the TAWA for 2 mins in boiling EVIAN, flushed with boiling EVIAN water and dried for 7 hours. This is the atty that I had cleaned with just hot tap water before.

Am vaping the expensive menthol on the TAWA and it is FANTASTIC. Silky, not hot, not airy and not dry at all. Lovely, simply lovely and enpough vapor to satisfy.

I shall finish the menthol (only 1/4 of cart left boo hoo) and then run one of my gh1 juices through it.

If it is crappy - it must the GH1 juice and not the tank attys as this freshly boiled and dried TAWA is vaping the menthol like a dream.

Like I said my brand new non tawa atty is pretty 'meh' after 2 carts of the GH1 juice so far. If it is same after a 3rd I will then buy another expensive Korean store bought juice tomorow and see if it improves.

If it does and is as good as this menthol is vaping on the cleaned TAWA right now, I will take back my last review and blame it on the GH1 juices.

Let's see how it goes....

 

[Hotwire]

Yeah the GH1 Strawb juice on the TAWA is cr*ppy. Must be the juice. Same airyness and dryness and light flavor I get from the GH1 tobacco on the brand new non tawa atty.

Switched the cart to strawb on the TAWA straight after finished the menthol (have just boiled and dried it remember), after blowing old juice out, let it sit for a while for wicking and it is lame. Dry, airy vape, not silky at all and tasteless almost.

Will buy some new juices and do a re-avluation on both attys with it.

Fingers massively crossed!

Am off to pay 19usd for 10ml of Dekang RY4 from the Dekang store near my apt right now...!

 

[Hotwire]

Well the RY4 was just too darned sweet for my taste as was the coffee (sweet but barely any coffee taste at all) so I went with DEKANG menthol 18mg.

The dekang juices which I dripped on the in-store pvs through a cart mouthpiece were ACE for vapor. The pv was called a shogun. Vapor so nice and thick and th so inntense that I coughed like mad!

On the NEW EGO-T Atty - the menthol is dry, airy and not so flavorful.... Battery is charged. blew out old juice. Only the 3rd cart of juice to go through this atty....

On the TAWA which I boiled it's the same.

The in-store pvs gavew a thick, very white, silky vapor. The ego-t is giving airy, light and thin vapor that is more grey than white and it always has. Zero throat hit at 18mg nicotine. Whereas the in store vape was satisfying and thick the vapor on my ego is thin and very unsatisfying, even a good 6 draws leaves me wanting more, the thickness I experienced in the store is just not there.

When I can afford it I will look to get a different pv / and or try my ego with drip tips and 510 attys. The tanks are not great for me is all I can say.

End of Hotwire's review for ego-t system.

Another edit.

Just had a big vaping session and told myself to try and use a positive mental attitude that I would like it and now I am almost enjoying it again. I just want more flavor like dripping off of the big in-store pvs I tried. Flavor flavor flavor is what I want. The DEKANG menthol is decent but gets boring. Oriental tobacco is ok but a little bland. Stawberry nice but too weak. Same for the usa mix and tobacco from gh1. They all have a NICE taste - BUT THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH OF IT. I need twice as much saturation of flavor as I'm getting at the moment, plus thicker vapor.

Will dripping on reg / lr 510 attys give me this improved, thicker flavor I'm so desperately seeking (Susan?)

Hotwire, I have had the Tank for almost two weeks, and it is not replacing my normal sitting around dripping on a 510 LR atty, that should give you the flavor you want. I use the eGo Tank for the road only at this time.

Thanks. Wanted to hear someone else say it before I spent money on lr attys and drip tips! Vids on youtube do say dripping gives a lot more - around 50% - more vapor and FLAVOR. So it would seem there was nothing special about the pvs in the store, just that the flavor was better and the vape thicker because I was dripping...

Want to get lr 510 attys and also am curious about debridged 510 attys too. Would debridged lr be too much and should I go bridged lr and debridged regular... or are debridged lr 510 attys a good idea...

Also - much of a difference in flavor between 510 regular and 510 lr and or debridged when dripping?

Thanks for the input! At the moment I feel like I'm sucking on mildly flavored air, very frustrating.

FINALLY - what's the lowest ohms I should go for with the standard ego battery? Some people have said that 1.5 is too low for the ego battery and will rapidly ruin the battery lifespan etc.

 

[Lazerrred]

<snip> I can convert the mega eGo attys over to tanks, so I have my main 6 flavors on separate eGos.

OK, what am I missing here. How can a Mega eGo atty be converted to a tank. Link ?

You can't/don't. Kent just meant that he was going to change those units (battery systems) from Mega atties over to Tank-atties. A complete swap-out.
