My update:

Different religions...

I have to say that my eGo-T is just 'doing it' for me... in a way…I mean... I find myself using this set up more and more each day out of how convenient this is... OTOH, though, I guess that it may be a bit of a slow-wicking unit and may end up muting flavors compared to direct-dripping... Then again, if your T is "finely-tuned" and working fine it performs perfectly... But to me, this is the problem... The search for that perfect-working T unit is somewhat similar to what Cozzi and ournature have described as 'the search for the golden puff' when dripping. In a way, I feel there is a pattern here, maybe; many of us who were happy with direct-dripping's performance (possibly because our devices were up to it, and/or our techniques for dripping made this a good performing unit or else…) may not be that happy with the T's overall performance. And, the other way round, some members who were not entirely happy with direct-dripping's consistency may be ok with their eGo-T's behavior... So, this could simply be because they have devices 'up to it' or have developed some sort of drawing special technique/ subconcious 'key' vaping rythm, or similar circumstance... Do you see were Im heading?
I guess that maybe there may be some 'circumstances' or reason why some of us have more natural skills or tendency or mere luck when direct-dripping or using tanks as to get a more effective outcome. Our experiences and how good something works will determine or condition us even more towards the 'its working...' or 'it wont work' road...
This is why many of us swear by direct-dripping or the Tanks or other 'styles' and are kind of closed to others, in a way... Its like a personal choice based on what WE experience as 'objective'...
The eGo T is obviously working for Cozzy and ournature; who both are "anti-direct-dripping", so to speak... And many of us, who are for dripping cannot entirely get it with the T... Ironic, isnt it?
But if we further into it... Why cant we get it? What are we looking for...? What are 'they' getting...
Possibly, my theory, is that, on one hand we may be better skilled at dripping and they may be tank-oriented, but OTOH, the very reasons why they dismissed dripping in the first place were inconsistent hits and the notion that the search for the perfect hit implied many lousy ones in return... And we; drippers maybe focused more on that golden hit as the standard and expect every puff from the T to be like that, whereas 'they' get content with decent hits on the ‘average’ side... Furthermore, they happen to be regular resistance fans...
Bottom line being...
Each one to their own...
Maybe when they say “IT IS WORKING” and we say “IT ISNT” we mean the same thing substantially and should be translated as “I LIKE THE WAY THIS WORKS” and “I EXPECTED SOMETHING ELSE”… But a sense of ‘universal objectivity’ gets in the way as we interpret… At least, it got in my way… For I thought ‘their’ tanks were magical, and right now Im thinking… Wait… This must be it…So, possibly, we drippers should see the eGo-T as a 'comfortable' unit which translates into decent hits; nothing more; nothing LESS...
What do you think??

Up-date bis, and a question for the "tank-gifted-ones"; Cozzi, Ournature and other gurus out there...

I get it... After playing (and destroying, heee!) a long time with many atties; Im not very honed for crafts, or practical-using-your-hands type of work, I have finally found the right balance to each and every one of my T atties; LR and non-LR... I have positioned my wicking fibers the right; should I say, perfect? way... Yes... I have also modded my carts/ tanks and some are w/ no inserts... Etc. But the wicking set or position was the key, basically...
Working like a charm; no inconsistency what-so-ever, no waiting or sucking unactivated; everything perfect (but the flavor... Which is still muted... But dont really mind that much for Im not a flavors guy, and I have other 'flavor' set ups, so thats ok...)
There is only one little thing with one atty...
It works perfectly but every time I get to remove the tank to re-fill I find it leaks a bit on the batt... Its just a minor issue, though, I was wondering if you could help me, since it is a bit annoying for everything else is 'perfect', in a way...
Could it be I need to hold my unit a special way as to remove/ insert cart; maybe I should wait until the tank is completely dry...
Dont know....
Suggestions... Comments......
Thanks...
=)

To insert you line up the indented ridges on the tank with the two air vents on the metal plate inside the atty. You can hear an audible click sound when it connects properly. If not try to insert it again. I refill mine when it's almost empty but never let it go dry. I'm using both types A and B, but prefer A, the whistle tip is smaller. I have one atty that leaks always, the others are fine, never leak.

Seems the problem was letting this one to dry... Now Im having no problems... Simply doing fine-fine-fine !!!!

After trying the new vortex clearomizers, in my opinion they perform much better than the ego-t (normal or even lr).
Even on an ego bat with an adapter.

anyone faced this problem? or is it just me? i placed a new cart onto my atty and leave it there for a moment. when im back. it's empty as new.

It sounds as if maybe you didn't seat the tank all the way into the atty. Just a thought, but that will certainly result in massive leaks.

DO you find the B tanks harder to draw then the A. That seems to be what I am experiencing.

Not the one i'm using right now.
I had A's with light draw and A's with hard draw, they are not all the same, some have a smaller air hole on the positive pole some bigger..
sometimes the tank cartridge have tighter air channels
and sometimes the way the atty connect to the battery change the draw when you switch the battery.

Finally i had the chance to try the typeB 2ml tank atomizers.
I got the 2.2ohm version.
so far these new toys are amazing, imo better than typeA in any aspect.
Love them.

great! ditto on the B vs. A. I'm also preferring the 2.2 over the LR and on an eGo batt over the SE Riva - flavor is great.

I have fixed tight draw on an ego-TA by poking a big needle up the battery hole and pushing the heater off to one side or upwards just a tad.
This will only work if its as tight to draw through off the battery totally as it is connected, the heater is blocking the base hole in he ceramic cup.

If you take it off the battery and its a loose draw, then plug the battery hole with our finger and the draw gets tight, then the tiny hole in the side of the battery connector (above the threads) is maybe blocked inside the atty by the solder joint for the -ve wire. Dental pick job in the small hole fixes that apparently. I have never tried though.

The big hole in the bottom of the atty connector is not used when on a sealed manual battery. I guess its a legacy part of the design for use with auto batterys where the airflow goes through the battery itself.

I agree, that air passage is blocked when a manual battery is connected.
The air get into the atomizer through the tiny hole 'on the side' of the connector thread.
