Hi there, I want to thank every one that has contributed to this thread. All the information (and especially Cozz's very thorough videos) convinced me to order the eGo-T atomizer from Totally Wicked. Here are my conclusions on the eGo-T after a week of extensive use.
The first is that the EGo-T atomzer works very well when used as it was designed to be used. That is, on a standard (well 900 mah) eGo battery. It produces a slightly cool hit with good vapor and good taste. I tested it with Boba's Bounty (a thick 100% VG) and it still wicked ok. That said, I have found that it does wick better with a juice that contains at least some proportion of PG. Presently, I am using Mrs T's Bluebeery Cheesecake and it wicks just fine. In the week that I have had the it I have not experienced any leaking, nor have I really hit any dry spots/burning tastes.
However, at least for me, the eGo-t will not replace dripping. I get better vapor production and better taste from dripping than from an eGo-T. However, at least for me, dripping is not really practical outside the home, so that is where I will be using my eGo-T.
Prior to recieving the eGo-T I used a combanation of cartos and Phidias bottom feeder when outside my house.
So the question for me was how does the eGo-T stack up against those two vaping methods?
I love the look of my Phidias, it is a beautiful example of the wood workers art. If you put an Iken LR 306 atty (2 ohm) on it it is an excellent vape. Maybe it is me, but even after 3 months I still struggle to get a consistent feed from the bottom on it, and I end up pulling the atty so I can drip from the top to keep it firing well.
To me the best iteration of cartos to date is the MAP tank from Clouds of Vapor. The Map tank when combined w/ a ProVari dialed in to the correct voltage is a pretty damn satisfying vape. Very rarely, and only when chain vaping, I get a little bit of the dreaded E2 burned/metallic taste from it. In most cases it is a superior vape than the Ego-T though.
The problem is that it is is a pretty massive, science project looking, contraption, not exactly something that you can slip into your shirt pocket. This is true to some extent of the Phidias also. While beautiful, it is a fairly bulky wooden box that looks a bit odd to be sucking vapor out of.
This is the area where the eGo-T really shines; it is small, light and inconspicous. You can slip into your shirt pocket and forget about it. When I use it is very consistent, it gives a nice, flavorful vape from the begining of the tank to the end. It takes about a minute to refill the tank, wipe it down and pop it back in.
I guess what I am trying to say is that, for me, the eGo-T is the solution to vaping when I am out and about that I have been looking for since I started vaping. It is easier to use and carry and produces a more consistent satifying vape than any other method that I know of mobile vaping.

Hotwire... I was just going through the "drill" - hoping something might hit... I got my new ones today from cignot and have one atty/tank up and running. So far so good but haven't been at it much today yet. I'm fillng these with a needle tip bottle instead of popping the cap.
Just got home from work to find an package from Ovale sitting on the dining room table.
Opening it right now ...

Ditto. But it would appear that I actually got mine 23 minutes before you got yours.....
;-)
Ok first impressions ...
It's solid - no weird taste, ridiculously easy to fill and refill, vapes much cooler than what I'm used to with cartos or dripping. When I want to switch flavors I just pop out the tank. Do a little dry burn by blowing into the atty while holding the button on my eGo. Fill up a new tank and pop it in. Voila, new flavor.
I've only been using it for 2 hours, but I am already pretty certain that this will be my weapon of choice for trying out new juices. It really doesn't color the flavor at all. It does however tear through juice. Might have to change my vaping habits a little with this system.
Oh yeah, and good vapor production to boot.
Just my 2 cents and as always YYMV ...

Update!!!
I did an overnight soak in Alcohol as mentioned and let them dry out today. Slapped a tank on earlier and it seems to be fine so far.
I am wondering if my Ecopure / Toffee mix was too thick and gunking up the coil/atty.
Almost ready to refill so hopefully it holds up for awhile, hopefully my new ones from Cignot come in tomorrow.

I'm using the XL (is labled 'Oversized') Cartomizer. It's pretty good and gives smoother vape than the tanks. But you do get the odd hit with no flavor at all from time to time. Easily remedied of course with a shake, or a blow through the tip or a top up but tanks NEVER give that and are way less hassle to fill.
Okay so here we go:
Got my TW order last week. At first test, I loved it. GREAT vapor, flavor, everything. Burned through an entire tank in one sitting. This was last Friday night. Worked perfect all day Saturday and Sunday. No leaks, no issues, just performed exactly the way I had hoped.
then Sunday night I got the dreaded burnt flavor. I did a hot water rinse, blew it out, ran vodka through it, everything. Nothing would get rid of the burnt taste. So I swapped out to the other atty. SAME issue. Checked the tanks, tried a new tank, tried dripping a few drops on the atty before inserting the tank, and nothing.
I was a little bummed out because we were leaving for a trip first thing Monday morning. I had already filled up all my tanks, charged my batteries, and packed it all up in my travel kit. Figured i'd let it sit overnight and deal with it in the morning.
Well we got a late start and I didn't have time. So I just said screw it, and brought it all with me. Powered through the burnt taste for about half a tank and VOILA! it went away!
We walked all over NYC, went to bars, restaurants, everything, the tank system worked like a charm. Still have no idea what caused the burnt flavor, or what I did to get rid of it, but i've been using the same atty since Monday with many tanks (lost count by now) and flavor, vapor, everything is still perfect.
I've carried it in my pocket, purse, dropped it, what have you. No leaks. No more issues. I think in my case, I have a winner.

Dreamer that mirrors my own experience. The guy at the Janty store said it was almost certainly that my vaping style was the reason for the burned taste. I'd take about 10 super fast, super deep chain vapes, inhaling and then exhaling whilst inhaling the next draw continually! He reccomends drawing for 6 seconds, slow and deep and then after 6 of those draws let it rest for a while. Hope that is of some help! Since I followed his reccomendations I haven't had the burned taste in a whole week!
Oh, and leave them vertical overnight so they keep the atty wet.

Follow up.
Jesara - you're right! I have a new modified draw based on the janty sotre rep's 6 second, deep slow reccomendations. I start of with a cig like draw and the last 3 seconds I suck harder but not from the mouth, from the chest and yes I am now putting out some more impressive clouds!
I enjoy french inhaling more though as you get more mouth flavor, but if you want a good 'hit' the lung inhale does the job.
A lot to learn with vaping huh?
Scotbee - is there any way to confirm that the cignot tank attys are not TAWA without the TAWA branding? I ask as the TAWA here in S.Korea is $18 but the non TAWA - $40. Pretty sure that's just because prices here on everything are outrageous (ego-t starter kit is still $155...!) Tried to email them but you have to use outlook and I don't have that set up. Also I'm still not 100% sure if the TAWA is as good as non TAWA and is identical in production and quality etc, or is it they are cheaper just because you don't get the warranty and that's the only differance. Cheers.

I got my kit yesterday from Totally Wicked. This is an incredible system!! It's like I'm dripping without the hassel of dripping. The cap comes off the bottom of the cart easy with a huge area to refill and it holds a lot. Easy to pop back on and then snap into the special cone shape atty, screw on and you're good for hours. I can refill in the time it would take me to drip into a tip twice. LOVE THESE - VERY SWEET. They also fit onto my Infernos.
I am curious though to see comments on those who are big on Throat Hit as these seem smooth and cool to me (which I personally like).
The flavor of the juice comes through amazingly better than anything I've tried, including the new CE2 clear cartos. These are far superior i think. No wicks - the juice drips directly onto the atty via gravity.
Love love love these.
I just got mine too. It worked really well until the atomizer started to clog. I don't know how to clear it though because the entire coil and bridge system is completely covered. How on earth do you clean these things?
If these things can't be cleaned they're just too expensive to smoke. 16 bucks a piece for atomizers?! That's ok if they last long enough, but it;s looking to me like they don't
I had the same problem and blew from the cone end, fixed it for me.
Just got my kit today, I am .......ing in LOVE with this thing! So - Thank you for the cleaning tip. The two main flavours I use - Red Bull and Vanilla - aren't "gunky" flavours, so no problems *yet*, but of course the attys will clog eventually. This will extend the life of my killer new system. i cannot rave about this tank thing enough.
I bought this product about a month ago and at that time the caps on the tanks were very hard to get off. Have they made it easier now?
But I really wonder if it is necessary to spend all that money when you can pretty much do the same thing with a product that will convert your cart into a tank:
Home - ZFM Vapors
Isn't the principal the same?
The tanks used on the new ego-T are basically cartridges which have a cap with a hole small enough so that the juice does not leak too fast. It is a feeder.
Has anyone tried this ZFM Vapors thing? I would think this is a much cheaper way to do the same thing.

You are sort of right.. and if you already have a cone type egoAtty you could check out this DiY link http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/120764-ego-xl-no-filler-cart-mod.html
BUT.... the tanks on these things seem a little more of a durable way of having it.
I just got my ego-T from Heaven Gifts (just a few hours ago) and though it is DEFINITELY too early for a final assessment I can give a honest " first impression"
Device: 3.7v ggslim
Juice: light flavored DIY 70/30 mix
1 fill @ this post.
My first fill I popped the cap of the tank,which really wasn't hard to do. I filled it approx 3/4 full (bit more). I pushed all the way in and did 1 full twist. I waited 30min with atty setting upright on table and prior to using did 3-4 draws with out activating the device ( gathered from suggestions on the forum)
I vaped it as I normally would and did not try to push it as I do sometimes when testing new stuff out. (I may in the future).
Conclusion: I would have to say this was a surprisingly good first impression even for a few hours of use. No wicking issues (so far) as well as no leaks.
With the atty that I am using it seems to be as consistent as one would reasonably expect.
Too early to determine if this will be my new "goto" atty, but I can say that I don't regret trying these out.. and if they hold up after refills and cleanings I would definitely be pleased.
I don't know if I would necessarily recommend them, but I would say if you purchase them to purchase clear tanks. I do like the fact,with the clears, that I can invert the atty to see the status of my juice level.
more later.

lightgeoduck, with a true 3.7v pv did you find the vapor was cool, as i have found on my ego 3.2v. and what about vapor production on your ggslim. anyone else tried this on a true 3.7v or better--what were your results. thanks
