i vape menthol, so maybe i just don't notice any diminished flavor, but it's only maybe a little less than direct dripping. which i still can't do in the car. so for me these are so much better than anything else i've tried so far.

My 1st Tank atty was from TW...I got It about a week ago and that's all I vaped, so it received quite a bit of use. I got the tightening of the draw and some loss of flavor at the end. I cleaned it in IPA yesterday and I'm giving 48 hours to dry before I use it. So, I'll see how it works tomorrow.
I received some eGo-T atties from a different vendor yesterday and slapped one on an ego battery and was astonished at the difference between the TW tank atty and the eGo-T atty. It produced a sizeable difference in vaper and the flavor was much more rich. I looked inside both atties and the spike hole in the eGo-T atty was larger--more juice, more vaper?. I have no idea if that's all the differences between the 2, but I can tell you that the vaper and flavor are better, at least to me. It is still working as good as it was yesterday...will see in a week.
I've never direct dripped before, so I can't give you a comparison of the 2, but I did load up a brand new boge lr 510 cartomizer and almost gagged from the flavor. I'll never be able to go back to carto's.
Cheers,
Mine are from liberty flights, but I am pretty sure they are the same except for the logo. Maybe I am wrong idk.
The first time I used it I had the same problem and chalked it up to primer being left in the atomizer even after I blew it out.
To me it certainly isn't the best thing for flavor, or vapor, or even juice capacity.
I do believe that it is now working the same as others who rave about theirs.
However the tank is still far from perfect.
I do believe many people like for it's ease of use and not having to mess with filters or filling cartos.
Many have said that these need regular cleanings.
For new users or some that cannot just get cartos, or cart filters or even dripping right, the tank is a godsend.
There are so many variables for every device, type of liquid, and differences of users that there will always be disagreements on everything.
I myself believe dripping has the best flavor but that the mega ego atty's and carts hold supreme for vapor, th and flavor.
Everybody's answer will be different for many reasons.
You may be able to clean it and get a better result. I have not used it long enough to want to try to clean it.
I have the exact same issue with my TW T atty lack of flavor. I put the same flavor in my metal CE2 and it is a wonderful strong flavor but with the tank atty they flavor seems extremely muted
. Maybe I am just spoiled by the CE2 but so far I have not found anything that comes as close to it with flavor.ECP's Talmadgemonroe pointed others in another thread to this video by Shado on Volcanoecigs forums The Official Volcano E-Cigs Forum • Tankomizer Filling/Cleaning/and a look inside. : Tutorials and Helpful Videos, provides a good look inside the ego-t.
Totally agree, the flavor is sorely lacking. I have had some luck using tobacco flavors over sweet vapes, but still not an enjoyable experience at all.
I've been watching this thread for a while. With so many positive posts, I decided to go ahead and try out the tank system. I'm mainly looking for something that will work well for my husband. He is a smoker, but can't always smoke on the job site or in the work van. They will allow him to vape though so I've gotten him set up. I was hoping the tank might be the best way to go for him. My main concern has been leakage. I've used the clearomizer, but have had a couple of them crack on me and leak. That is something I want to avoid with his setup. I saw some initial reports of leaking complaints when these first came out, but most of you have recently indicated you've had little leakage, which is why I went ahead and ordered these. It makes me sad that now I'm seeing posts about lack of flavor. Hopefully, he won't have that problem since he's not a chain vapor and only uses his eGo on those occasions when he can't smoke.
I think the "lack of flavor" complaints generally come from more advanced vapers who are really attuned to the flavor that can be had from dripping, mods, etc. I think for the most part, someone that is content with standard vaping "fare", which is the vast majority of vapers, will be more than happy with tank performance on flavor, vapor amount and convenience. I love my mods, but they stay home and I leave the house every day with a pair of Ego-T's.
My ego-T has no flavor what so ever.. literally ... it's still smooth and from my experience it's only a small difference in dripping, well that's how I feel at least..
(by the way when I do use flavored it tastes just as smooth ).
So if anyone needs more good reviews before taking the leap.. here it is... I am sold on this thing (again mine was purchased from HG ).. great out of box.. great after continuous refills..
I am not sure how long my atty will last, but I have faith that it is comparable to the longevity of any standard atty that is well built (could last a week or last months) either way it won't be because of halfass manufacturing .
Duck Ramblings:
If anyone knows me, I don't get excited easily about a product, and I never have high expectations, so my opinion is given trying not to give unwarranted hype. I don't NEED anything to be great since I am still content with the hardware I have from over a year ago...
I find little fault in this product as is... with the exception of the price, it never hurts for prices to drop on these (no matter what the current price is ).

I have one tank out of the two I've used so far that works great, the other only reasonable. These are on the same atty with the same juice. The difference is like CE2 vs on older used filler carto. That much. I've tried giving the tank a full 360 degree twist, removing and replacing it but still pretty much the same. I also noticed the atty would get hotter to touch, faster than the 'good' one.
What has helped a bit is a minor repositioning of the tank. About a eighth or tenth of a twist. It puts the whistle tip slightly out of alignment with the button, but heh, small price to pay. This made about 25-30 percent better vapour production. Flavour is still good. Atty doesn't heat up as fast. Get a few extra drags before that happens.
Do you need to line up the air-slots on the side of the tanks with the opening either side of the juice-spike plate? I read that someone suggested drawing on the mouthpiece with loose lips, letting some extra air draw in at the same time, and that they got much better vapour production. This sounded counterproductive to me but I tried it anyway - and it worked. The trade off was that atty got hotter almost immediately.
Has anyone tried cutting another (small) air slot in the atty or know of anyone doing it? I'm thinking that three slots may be the answer to my lazy tank, by getting a little more airflow in there.
I'll be interested in comments.

My first atty finally started giving me problems so I switched to the second. If you all remember correctly I started with my first atty and tank on the 12th. I have done nothing but fill it when it gets dry. I also vape 5-6ml of juice a day.
The atty performance started dying off this morning. It is also CAKED with black crud and the blown out juice looks similar to tar. This is not to alarm anyone, as it is what happens to atties after a LOT of use. I will give it an alcohol bath today and start using my second atty. So far the second atty is a perfect as the first was. I have had no problems besides a gunked up atty.
I use Vapor Station juice EXCLUSIVELY. It is 70/30 and is essentially clear. I have also only vaped ONE flavor through my original atty. Today is the first cleaning of the original atty that has seen at least 60ml of juice.
I will keep everyone up to date on the cleaning, and what I find after.

Since obtaining my T a couple of weeks ago, I've been using a moderately dark liquid in the tanks. Yesterday, I decided I wanted some menthol, which is very light, almost clear. I simply filled up a new tank, popped out the tank with the darker liquid and popped in the tank with the nearly clear menthol liquid. No problems in wicking, taste was fine, etc. (took a few puffs to get to the menthol flavor, but that's not a surprise). What DID surprise me, though, was that by the time I had nearly emptied the menthol tank, the liquid remaining in the tank was noticably darker (several shades) than the nearly clear menthol liquid I started with. It would seem that the wicking is working both ways, i.e., from tank to atty and from atty to tank. Maybe that's normal, but I was nonetheless surprised.
Ok, you all convinced me. EgoT tank kit on the way from Cignot. I needed to get a few more batteries anyway so even if the tanks are not to my liking, I'll at least get a couple new batteries with shut off functionality and another charger.
I only used clear, light liquids in my tank and noted the juice turning darker and thicker. The closer to the tank being empty, the more noticeable this becomes. Indeed, if you let the tank get down to a quarter-full, the contents turns to the consistency of molasses and needs to be rinsed out before refilling. I think the stem must get hot and is cooking the juice. Since the manufacturer has warned us of the dangers of clogging the wick by using liquids that are too thick, this is a serious flaw in the design. The stem cooks the juice to thickness, the thickness clogs the wick and there ya' go—hard to draw, burnt flavor, ruined atty.
I no longer use the tank on a daily basis, reserving it for rare (for me) car trips when topping off carts is dangerous while driving. I try not to let the tank get below half-full and have been adding a few drops of sterile water to the thicker contents when topping off. All in all, I'm disappointed with the system.
So I am a few days in with my Cignot Ego-T and today I am vaping VG Taboo -- 26mg from LiquidXpress and well... I can't tast a damn thing except for the occasional bad raspy taste.
My Experience has gone as follows:
Day 1 - didn't blow it out, just dropped a bit of juice in it and went to town. Not very good flavor but I figured that was primer and it would go away soon. After a while I got bored of flavorless vape and blew it out, everything came out clear and my juice was certainly not clear. I figured this was primer and "Cheer" maybe it's all gone. Dropped some more juice in it and was getting some harsh dry hits so I primed it with my juice but dropping into the battery side of the atty and I got some really good hits then it went away and I got harsh hits again. I went through this a few times and then it smoothed out but I couldn't taste the juice still.
Day 2 - I decided that maybe it's a juice issue so I switched to a few diff juices including some thin ry4 and then some wyatt erp from FSUSA and couldn't taste much of anything in either. I have a 120ML bottle of 30MG RY4 with "Extra" Flavor sitting around to spice things up. This stuff is strong... Really strong and almost Black. I never vape this stuff direct because I tasted the after tast for a whole day the only time I tried it. I filled up a tank full of this stuff just to see if I could taste it and guess what... Nothing
Day 3 - Well I am at work today and I decided to toss that VG Taboo back in because I am still convinced that I am getting Nic (other wise I would have freaked out by this point) and I need to maintain my sanity here.
Maybe I burned up the atty dry vaping after blowing it out on the first day but I am still getting the odd dry raspy hit with a full tank so I dont know what is going on.
My wife has the other atty and she is having much the same experience except that is says she is just getting used to the bad taste.

If you run it dry. You need to put in 2 or the drops directly in the atty to get it to wick again. Sometimes pumping it in, and out of the atty can help with chain vapping.
I get wonderful flavor out of mine chain vapping it all day on PG/VG mixed thin liquid.

Excellent post damulta! Thank you for taking the time dissecting these things and posting the pics. Your time spent was not in vein and is very much appreciated. I would suggest you start a new thread with the pics on the first post so that folks could find them easily.
Be sure the membrane on the tank hole is fully opened.
Give it a few turns.
If its not fully opened you will get those results.
