Ok I have read this whole thread and I am still confused. I have had 6 of these attys die within 2 days. And I don't mean they got dirty and needed cleaning and had a bad taste. I mean they stopped firing. One minute they work fine and literally a few seconds later it won't fire.
Does cleaning the atty out everyday or after every tank help stop the atty from dying like mine did. Or is cleaning only for keeping a good taste from the atty?

Sounds like defective atties to me. Should fall within a DOA return if your vendor has one.
I've never had one fail... I've had them slowly stop producing. Have basically been using one per month.
I have to agree with Cozzicon because I just threw out my first atty the other day because it just stopped working all together but it had been used heavily for about a month with regular cleanings. I would contact the vendor and see if you can get them replaced.

I think they may be poorly made clones that I bought from my local store they do not have the ego-t logo on them. The store gives me a 3 day warranty on them so I have only paid for 2 technically. But they don't want to exchange any more because they think its something I am doing or something odd. The owner is awesome, he has a tank that he says hes been using fro several weeks with no problem.
I decided to order 2 new type As and 2 type Bs form cignot since they have a 30 day DOA on them.
The only thing I can think I may be doing wrong is that I leave the tanks in constantly so maybe juice is leaking down and shorting the connection. Does that even make sense?

Well Cignot is certainly reputable.
I'm not sure about the shorting. I've not had juice do that. (yet).
I can definitely say from personal experience that you should have very good luck with Cignots Atty's. I think you are going to love the type B ones. I know I do. Make sure to look for the hand drawn art on the receipt too
They are really cool.And if they do not actually say "eGo-T" on the battery and atty then they probably are knock offs. This may be why you are having such problems with them.

Thanks for the input, I think I did get a batch of bad ones, maybe knock offs, maybe jsut a bad batch of ver 1 attys. Who knows.
All I know is I prefer the tank system, and am hoping that the ones I get from cignot are top quality and I can get at least a month out of one. I can live with $16 a month plus the cost of juice that's still 25% the cost of analogs
And I just can't stand the taste of carts any more

My favorite method for cleaning is the microwave water and use a Netty Pot to drip it through, and then if it is really gunked up I just do that and then throw it into the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for a good sonic cleaning and run more hot water through, Taryn Spin it then let dry for a few before use.Nate AKA “Darth Vapor”
It sounds weird even for knock offs T-atties, 6 dead atties in 2 days..
Sometimes a defective battery can short any atty you screw into it,
did you use them with the same battery at some point?
i just got the ego-t atty (and tank) from vicky @ cignot and so far its ok, no leaks...just puff and puff. the flavor is somewhat muted, i can taste it more with say...a regular(even stock) atty and cart. OTOH the vapor production is just amazing with the b type atty and tank....and along with that the juice consumption is fairly hefty as well. even tho the flavor is kind of weak, i will take this ego-t b style with me to work today as the only pv...
well heres how it worked I had 2 ego batteries one for me and one for my wife. We did not switch batteries or attys. Hers died then my died later the same day. The store exchanged them both. Same thing happened 2 days later. Store exchanges my batteries for ego-t batteries thinking the battery may be the problem. 2 new attys same results mine dies on a brand new ego-t battery within 2 days, my wife's atty died within 3 days or her brand new ego-t battery. From everything I have read on multiple forums. And judging by many stores offering a 14 to 30 day DOA warranty on these attys I have to assume something is extremely strange with me. Yes I take like 40 or 50 puffs an hour so probably 300 or more puffs a day on the atty. yes I use 5 or 6 different fluids in multiple tanks. But they go from working perfectly fine on one puff to not firing at all 30 seconds later.
The only thing I could be doing wrong is leaving the tank in the atty when its not is use say when I am sleeping and charging the battery. Or I am overusing it and burning it out.
But my wife does not vape like me. On her last atty she used it about 30 % as much as me for 2 days. Used it for like 30 mins the next day. Went to work and left it home. Came home and it didn't fire
We are both new to this and just started a few weeks ago. So there may be some super simple concept about these things we as newbies just don't know. Like a simple thing you just never do to an atty that we may be doing and not realizing that is the problem.
But judging by how people clean these they are pretty simple devices something that collects juice something that heats the juice and a wire to connect it the battery. SO if its perfectly safe to get all the parts submerged in water or PGA etc as long as they dry out before use, I doubt there is something we are doing that is causing the problem. But it is a small possibility.
Liek I said before got 2 type As and 2 type Bs en route from Cignot. Ands since everyone says they are a reputable source and they have a 30 day warranty on these., I am suspecting that I will have 0 problems on them when I get them. I just hope they get here soon. Like today. I am craving them something bad right now

mattp169 - What part of Maryland are you from? And more importantly, where is the local retail store you mentioned?
And to keep this on-topic, do we have reviews of the TypeB tank attys from anyone...in terms of performance vs. the TypeA? Sorry if it's already been covered...it's been hard keeping up lately. Thanks!

there are several refrences to the differences throughout this thread and a few others. The main differences I have found are that yes the type B holds more juice, for me it has a lighter draw, way better flavor,(I assume to be attributed to better wicking), and a lot less leaks for me. I have two type B's and both have not been cleaned at all in over a week of heavy heavy use and flavor changes and they are still producing a perfect draw for me, no burnt taste,(And I am using Cappuccino and Caramel in one and Fine Cigar mixed with 100%VG Menthol Ice in the other, very thick dark liquids that gave me a horrible burnt taste in the type A's).
I hope these notable differences help you out

i have not had the typa A tank but this B tank that i have is performing admirably. the throat hit could be little stronger (same liquid hits little better on LR smally atty) but produces a great great vapor on the model B tank. more vapor= usingmore juice ...but thats ok! small LR atty also brings out the flavor better than the model B tank.
I am in the western part of Maryland near Frostburg. I have to drive 20 minutes in to WV to the place called earth zone.
The owner is awesome and extremely helpful. I just got back from there actually and he exchanged the 2 dead ttys one more time for me. SO I am happy. Can't wait to try out the Type Bs I have ordered should be here tomorrow or Monday. They are at the Baltimore post office right now waiting to get transfered up here. But until then I am happily vaping away
switching up from apple to root beer to flue cured tobacco to cuban cigar.

Just FYI, I had a juice once (sorry, can't remember what it was, it was a free sample), and although it wasn't excessively dark or thick, but it went thru attys like there was no tomorrow. I killed 3 510 attys in 2 days before I realized what was happening. And they didn't go out slowly, they just *stopped* suddenly. I fiddled with them some, but couldn't get ANY glow or sizzle. Are you and wife using the same liquids?
I have been 'off' this thread for a while now...
I have been using my eGo T (A type) only with half full tanks... Because once, as I started reading this thread I read this made for a better similar-to-dripping experience... And then I just got used to do it this way...
My questions for the gurus; Cozzicon, ournature, etc.:
1. Is this so? What is the reason for this, if so? If not, why was this posted by many...?
(Other questions)
2. Is there any necessary vaping technique as far as holding your unit vertical/horizontally in terms of an effective performance?
3. Is it common for your atty to require a few seconds/ minutes between puffs as to 'recharge' its liquid; meaning should you keep a special rythm as to let your atty wick? - Is there any way to improve wicking via a technique of moving your PV; puffing on an un-activated batt, etc?
Please, please reply...!
=)
Thanks!

Well- I'll do my best to answer.
1. I fill my tanks to 90% full with no problem.
As background, I have burned through 4 atties 2 were very good, two were not as good. Both were acceptable. I'm on my 5th atty now... and it's pretty amazing. The difference between "good" and "acceptable" is how they handle 50/50 PG/VG mixes. The "acceptable" atties came up to par with 70/30 PG/VG mixes. Also, my 50/50 juices aren't exactly 50/50 because Flavour Art is suspended in PG. So with the way I mix it's probably 53/47PG/VG. Vendor juices, claiming 50/50, I usually assume are around that 53/47 PG/VG mark because most flavors are suspended in PG.
2. Slow and long seems to work best for me. Position hasn't made much of a difference. I've never had a leak. Storage has historically been done horizontally. When I carry the unit... I put it in my pocket tip DOWN- this is because people have *said* they leak... and I'd like to avoid that.
3. Not often. I think I vape pretty hard on these and I *have* vaped them to dryness. But that was really honking on them. I've found that that action of moving them from a horizontal resting position to actual use causes a breaking of the vacuum in the tank and releases more juice onto the wick.
Haven't done any modding... errm... well I tried a wick adjustment on an atty that was already dead from a months use. But other than that... No problems.
Now on my second round of atties my newest atty is performing massively.
