It's been a month since I first received the preproduction batt, atty and two tanks. Since I've gotten kits from cignot, tanks from TW and attys and tanks from heaven gifts. I'm finding no difference except as noted - the preproduction atty had a slightly narrower spike. I've had no leaking problems with the tank in the atty. I had one tank that I prefilled and I failed to put the rubber on correctly - aligning the air channels with the bumps on the rubber and had a leak onto a table... but again, not 'in the atty'. I have not cleaned any atty yet. I have 6 going. I use a DIY Decadent Vapours ejuice using the VG Platinum Ice nic base, Aqueour Glycerine (80:20 VG:H20) and the flavoring to around 11mg nic. I have tried straight PG and a PG/VG 75/25% mix and found no difference in vaping - no clogging - good draw etc. (the draw on SE Riva's - see below- is tighter than the old Rivas, Tornado and eGos but that is more of a batt thing....).
Taking off the cap to fill isn't a good plan, imo. The one where I did that - the top looks pretty ratty although it still hasn't leaked. If you do - make sure you align the flat sides of the cap to the flat area on the tank.
I've tried to find a way not to use a syringe or needle tip bottle - although I do have one flavor in a needle tip bottle. The best way of filling for me has been using a small 3inch pipette. The tip is small enough to get into the hole - although I have 'reamed' the hole with scissors - careful not to go too large. As long as their is space enough to let the air out - all is fine. Cignot's 30 ml bottle tops are fine funnel tips and they work as long as you don't plug the hole entirely.
Flavor for me has been as good as dripping and better than any other cart/carto/E2/etc. with no off flavors. Also the 1.2-1.5ml - I fill to the top - gets used up faster than any other device. The cylinder mega eGo attys have the longest vape time still. But the tanks are better/longer in time than any regular 510 cart or carto by far.
One 'development' is the new SE Riva's (liberty flights is where I got mine) according to Scottbee's underload testing (thanks Scott) are putting out more voltage than regular "TorneGos" and this results in a 'near Bartleby' (for me) true 3.7v box mod type experience. Even more vapor and flavor (although some flavors respond better to more heat than others - so 801/cool vape/& fruit and berry fans won't like this as much... etc. etc. ). However..... the SE Riva threads one the ones I have don't work well with the cignot tank attys - misalignment - although I gently forced one to work. The heaven gifts tank attys take the SE threads better. And one other thing - off topic to the tank system - I had one SE Riva that wouldn't fully charge (light stayed red) on a TW charger although it worked well on the charger than came in the SE kit. Scott also had a charger problem with one of his SE batts....
With the Tank system batts from cignot - there is a 'rhythm' to get the battery lock to work - it's quicker than you'd think - 5 quick presses where the light doesn't really go off in between pushes - at least that's what I've found works. Same with 'unlocking' - 5 quick presses.
I've 'retired' my last Bartleby - significant for those who know me - and the last wetbox as well. I still have a big brother set at 6+ volts - which I find does best for my 'BWB espresso/capp. coffee PV'. So with that exception I'm fully 'tanked'

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
I totally agree...very well said!
I prefer a syringe for filling, but the cap has to come off to give the tank a good cleaning. The prying and screwdrivering couldn't be doing the cap any good, though, and I wonder if that's where some of the leaking problems could be coming from.
i picked one of these from James at Kalamazoo Vapor Shop yesterday after he mentioned how cool they were. he DMM'd mine to show 2.3 ohms right out of the package. i've been railing on it ever since between my Ego and 5v passthru and i gotta say...me likey! very smoot draw with killer flavor and vapor, even compared to my 2.8 ohm CE-2s with the same juice. i can't say i'm a huge fan of the look of the clear plastic mouthpiece, but it's more comfortable than any of my drip tips. filling it is hassle free by poppin the lil cap off, and i've had no leaks at all.
First attie is being soaked in rubbing alcohol as I type this.... Second attie is being vaped right now for the first time! No problems with the second one either!!!!
I prefer a syringe for filling as well...works very quickly, no mess! I'm also using the syringe to remove juice and put back in it's original juice bottle when I want to fill it with another juice! Doing this leaves nothing in the tank! I've also cleaned out the tank by syringing water through it several times and then syringing the water back out...not a tiny drop left in the tank!
I agree that the constant prying of the caps will eventually loosen the fit, which will definitely cause leaks!
Another thing I learn is to never fill the tank completely with juice (another possible reason for leaks)...leave a little room, and it will wick with no problem!
Just my two cents!
i do recommend using a syringe and avoid taking off the end cap. #1 taking it off is a bit of a pain (major pain), #2 it will prevent damaging the tank, #3 using a plastic needle syringe is exceptionally simple. Can't say that enough.
ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! So nice to read a positive review for a change! So far, I have nothing but positive things to say about the new eGo Tank System! I love it!!!!!
Well I've just used Pre-Mixed TW PR range on them so far. I have two, and I've used 1 of them a TON.
I vape about 4 carts a day on them. Which is about 1.5Ml. About when you have .3 left in the cart you start to tell it's time for a new one.
I've only hit the dry burn ONE time. It's a dream machine for me at least. I've used it a lot on a Screw Driver, and on a EGO battery. The SD hits a little stronger, and even though I hang it around my neck upside down I still never had problems with it when I went for a vape.
Also sometimes you need to put a drop directly in to get it to start wicking. Say if you washed it out over the sink for a new flavor, and or let the tank run to low of liquid.
Also just pumping the tank in, and out of the atty will re-prime it. So if your really chain vapping on it. Just pump it a few times, and your good to go for a while again.

One of the best perks is that we actually get to see how much juice is left in the tank...great thing to know before grabbing your PV on your way out the door for a while!
I ordered me a Tank-O-mizer from volcano ecig. Anyone used these yet ? Not sure if they are Joye or knockoffs. They are for sure cheaper then prices i have seen at other places. I guess i will find out if it is worth a damn next week when it shows up

INFERNO - Tank-o-mizer
Good find Java_Az these look identical to my "Joye" brand INFERNO - Blank Tanks
Actually i didnt find them. It was malaga82287 posting about it in another thread is how i found them.
Got our Tanks from Cignot today, the primer was too much so we blew them out and then they tasted dry (burnish) so we primed them by dropping a few drops in the battery side of the atty. The taste not very good right now though.. Still trying to work it out.
got my eGo-T atomizer and carts from FSUSA today...very fast shipping! thanks dave! LOVE IT! i also got my first order of Alien Visions Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice today! So my first cartful I vaped was Gorilla Juice. (heavy heavy vaper here-i can vape through an eGo T cart in 30 minutes easy), and now am vaping Black Licorice by Tasty Vapor. (i refilled the cart that had been pierced by the atty, by using a blunt tip needle).
What i have noticed is BIG vapor production and VERY PURE FULL FLAVOR. cant wait to try my Swedish Fish Flux nectar i ordered yesterday from GotVapes on this ego tank system!
one happy cowgirl here, vaping away on the ranch! yeehaw!

Now to just wait for the release of the MR tank atty or whatever they call it. Mid-resistance seems to fit best since at 1.8ohms it can't really be called Low Resistance. This is Joye's compromise to the LR crowd while maintaining battery reliability. My guess is TW (Pillbox has a prepro model now) will be releasing it in about a month. So we wait....
wow. i had no idea i vaped this much juice-i have filled my ego tank four times already in the first few hours of it arriving. i guess at least i am not "wasting" any juice like i was, when i was using filler carts, right? when i was using mega ego carts, i was constantly topping them off, so i never got a real "idea" on how many ml's i was vaping.
Yeah, I'm vaping a whole lot more than I did before I got my tank. I think it may be that the liquid is being used more economically and not being wasted by being stuck up the cart and not wicking down fast or efficiently. When I would clean my carts, there would usually be a lot of dark, nasty liquid still up at the top of the filler.
I also picked up some syringes at the local tractor supply and a quick snip with the wire cutters later, I have blunt tips to refill my tanks.
