New EGO TANK system.

[revolver]

Thanks a lot for your answer Cozzicon... You have been very helpful, as always...

One more question:

You mentioned you would fill your tanks to 90% full with no problems... My question being: Do you notice a difference as they get half-full... ? Or would they perform the same whether you fill them up to 90 or 50ish % ?

Well...

The the *wicking* gets better as the tank empties. On a single drag basis I'd say it's about the same. But if you are vaping hard... a full tank will need a bit of time to rewick.

Is that what you were getting at?

Well I got my order from cignot in today. 2 type As and 2 type Bs.

Comparing these type As with teh ones I got yesterday locally. I notice a huge difference already. There is more vape from the new ones. plus they have the Ego-T logo on them. other then that they seem identical. Can't speak for longevity yet. But I will keep you all posted.

Noe comparing the BS to the As. Yes the Bs hold a lot more juice naturally. They seem to vape even better. I have had no leak problems with the one. But my wife has with hers. Changed the tank on hers and no problems yet

Throat hit is better on the Bs.

Flavor seems about the same. But I have problems tasting any of the flavors. Everything I have tried locally and the new ones I got today from Cignot are just too mild in my opinion. I want flavors that hit me like a mack truck. Not ones that give me the idea of the flavor. So as long as these attys hold up I will begin my search for a brand of flavors I like.

YES... Exactly!

Thanks...!

PS: Hows that Elips doing?

 

[cozzicon]

YES... Exactly!

Thanks...!

It's a cool PV. It vapes really well. It's essentially a mod of the Joyetech 510 tank.

Not my cup of tea though. Battery is too small and cartridge changing is too inconvenient for me.

But... I think there will be a bunch of people who will like it. I'm interested to see how it does.

 

[revolver]

I see... As I first saw the PV on your utube review I went mad... So sexy... WOW, But as you showed its "soul" it was like: Oh noo... Dissapointing... Heee!

Back to the eGo-T: Have you ever tried direct-dripping on the tank-atties... In the sub-forum of Janty they mentioned this is possible... How would this be...? I cant picture it... Would you know/ Have you tried this?
Oh! And last, but not least: Do you agree the eGo T equals 'dripping', in general; performance-wise?

I know I may be a bit of a pain but this shall be my last question; promise... =)

No problem. Just remember my opinions are colored by my own vaping preferences.

The Elips is a far better PV than what was available when I started vaping. But it's not a replacement for the eGo-T unless you want the style/form factor. For many people- that matters.

I've never tried dripping on a T.

I have to say- I hate dripping. The thing that bothers me has to do with always fiddling with something, and then a process I like to call "searching for the Golden Hit".

The "Golden Hit" happens oh maybe for two hits in between needing to drip. So I find the exercise of dripping to provide a very inconsistent vape. Yes there are a couple of golden hits... but then I'm dripping and searching again.

This may be due to the fact that I do not use low resistance or high voltage equipment. An advantage to the higher voltage is more consistent vapor with a very wet atty.

That being said.. I may give it a try at some point. But my use of dripping is limited to vaping at home with flavors I don't vape all day.

@revolver

cozzicon suggestions and reply are all right.
i might just add few suggestions about wicking.
If it happen you have a slow wicking unit, yes few puffs without activating the battery may help,
specially when the tank is full or almost full.
Drawing while occluding one (or both) the atty air holes by fingers may help too.
If you still have poor wicking you may want to push the wick inside the piercing spike just a fraction of millimeter.

prelim on B LRs- I'm encouraged...

Also - don't know if this has been mentioned - I hadn't seen it - but heaven gifts has the 510 to eGo adapter that allows one to use mega ego atty/cartos and the eGo-t attys on a mod with a flush batt mount. Much better than the other 'solutions' imo.... BUT... I'm getting a weak connection - pretty sure I can fix it with a staple mod on either the one end or the other. May be a variation in product. There is a slotted center post - can one turn that to adjust height? Just got these so more experimenting ahead.

I agree with the fact that as you direct-drip, there is somewhat a constant state of searching for the 'golden hit', though, eventually, you may develop an improved 'dripping rythm' and technique and this may help, consistency-wise. However, then again: you should end up content with a 'standard' hit, so to speak...
LR or High Wattage in general will definitely make up for this...
You DONT do 'HV' or 'LR'??? Why not?
A 306 LR is bliss! You should try this...

Oh, all right... Thanks!
You were the one who first mentioned this T set up would be same as direct-dripping, right? Do you think it does equal dry smoking, as far as TH, amount of vapor and flavor are concerned? And, if so... Direct-dripping with what type of atty?

Thanks again; both of you!

Oh! One more question...
I have just purchased a LR T atty and have not yet used this (because I have loads of stuff which has arrived just two days ago, will try this somewhere tomorrow - tonight...), is there a big big difference? Meaning: Is it as a regular LR, because I havent read anything on this yet... I will go to the right thread, but just as to have a quick-reference...
=)

update

My wife's B tank clogged up badly after about 6 hours of moderate use. SHe got through about 1.5 tank fulls of pina colada before it clogged so bad you could get no vape. So I ran Hot water through it, blew it through from both directions several times. Dried the bat connection. gave it about a minute of dry hitting with no tank. Put a tank on and bam worked perfectly again.

Now while I was doing the cleaning I gave her my B atty that I had mainly used some flue cured on for about a half hour today. I took about 12 hits off of it with no tank to clear out the juice. ANd now she feels like she is smoking pina colada flavored tobacco.

So I am feeling like these B attys need a good cleaning at least once a day and a good blow out between flavors.

I have been using the A style mostly today without a problem. Blowing it out between flavors. I am getting some slight flavor mixing for the first few minutes after changing flavors but that doesn't bother me most days

I also believe that between the 2 B attys one vapes better than the other. One at times seems to not give a lot of vape then suddenly its fine. This may be a wicking issue. SO I will play with the wick as I type.

Pushed the wick in a little and no luck

It is also drawing juice in the mouthpiece. SO I Changed tanks and same thing. So it is definitely the atty or the seal between tank and atty

Any one have any suggestions on this problem?

Another update

So the other B atty starting leaking down the battery on my wife today. And she complained that she could barely taste it all day. Switched her to a A atty and now she can definitely taste the flavor better.

I am not sold on the B attys yet. I am starting day 2 with my A atty and no leaks still works great. The only maintenance I have done to it is blow it out from the battery end between flavors.

 

[tsbrewers]

I had one atty that leaked. I fixed this by adjusting the wick.

any time I have had bad taste, or no wicking, or anything really, I pull the wick plate (dentist pick) clean the wick and coil, adjust the wick in the plate, fluff it up, center it, then re-install. That has worked 99% of the time. I just had my first atties die after 2 months from the coils not heating up enough to get the vapor. They still work, just not well enough.

Brew

 

[mattp169]

Well I think I made a discovery today.

If you are having issues with getting juice in your mouth from the tank its an air flow problem. I was trying to prime my wick by sucking on the tank without holding down the button. Well I inadvertently covered both air vents on the atty and viola. juice in the mouth instantly. clean out the tank and tried again making sure not to block the air vents and no juice in the mouth. I am at work now but I will have to see when I get home if I can adjust anything on the B attys I have to stop the juice going into the mouth.

Now I also wonder if leaking from the battery end could have something to do with airflow as well. It would make sense if lack of airflow is causing to much vacuum in the atty not only drawing the juice onto the wick but overloading it with juice too quickly so it drips out the battery end. Because almost every time I can remember having a leak from the battery end I also got juice in the mouth

 

[ournature]

Hurray!
finally european and uk users can get type B mega atomizers too.
via totally wicked.

 

[Kent C]

Great ournature.... I think you'll be pleased. These are doing the job for me - in fact, since I DIY - there are a few flavors I think I could dial back the flavor portion! Absinthe and Black Currant. I have Habana Reserve and Real Tabs on B LRs and they're doing just fine. The one LR is metering in at 1.9Ω the other flashes between 1.8-1.9. The regular B's are @2.2-2.4Ω

 

[karpe]

Just got a LR B-atty and first impressions are good. Vapor, taste and air flow are all good. Tank is very tight, so I expect no leaking at the top. I hope the quality is more consistent than with the A atties.

I will update if any problems show up.

 

[mattp169]

Well after playing with my two B attys last nite, I am not liking them. It may be my batteries. But when I screw on the atty the air vents do not have enough room to let in enough air. With the atty screwed on all the way the tanks backup and put juice in your mouth and start to leak down the battery within a few puffs. If I loosen them about 3/4s of a turn they do not leak and no juice in the mouth, but you have a lot less vapor and taste and throat hit. his is the same with both attys and 3 batteries(2 ego-t and 1 original ego). I will try filing those air vents a hair bigger and see if that gets these two attys working better.

Has any one else experienced a similar problem with their B atty?

What I have found is that the airflow problem can also be from the 510 connector being too tight. If you have a 510 manual batt laying around, screw it on the atty and see if you have the same issue.

What I have done to some of my ego batts is to take a dremmel and carve a small slot into the center terminal on the ego battery. (kinda' make it look like a screw head) I use a needle type bit and carefully proceed. Make sure you get all the metal flecks out of the battery head.

If you look at the design of the 510 connectors Joye uses, they don't allow for much air to get by.

I've found with the B type the leaking problem is with the cap on the tank. I take a 18mm nail and actually hammer the piercing hole free of any plastic. Just piercing with the atty or with the blunt syringe leaves some plastic hanging. Much better when clearing all of it away. Believe it or not, I've found the clear pink tanks vs the clear blue will leak more often. Don't know why this would be. I like both the type A and B, but being a gal the type A is a little easier to handle for me. The draw on the A is smoother and I need to learn when using the B not to draw as hard. It will start gurgling and really gets loud, but my type A does not do this. Faulty attys aside, I'm really thinking the cap and tank design is a big factor with the leaking problems. For all around enjoyment my favorite way to use the ego battery is with the cartos, but at 15 + bucks for five they really can get expensive to use.
