New EGO TANK system.

[arjay55]

I got my 510-T and some XL tanks today from HG and I must say at this early stage I'm impressed. Good vapour production (not huge but good), good flavour.

Most impressive for me was the out of the box experience. Popped and empty tank on the 510-T atty to pierce it, removed it (removed the chad for no particular reason - just felt in a destructive mood) filled it placed it back in the atty. I took a few puffs and saw some air bubbles come up through the eliquid and had a few more puffs - all good.

I then noticed that about 1/2 of the XL-tank seemed to have drained out of sight. I was concerned the juice would be pooling in the battery threads but no, dry as they should be. Must be alright as no leaks anywhere.

I used it quite a few times this afternoon and it works great. Not super thirsty on juice either.

So all in all a great result out of the box. If it keeps up the good work I will happily suggest this system to any prospective newcomers wanting to take up vaping.

This still doesn't come close to the 'so called' T-Rex Tanks (in Oz) or Mega Smart Carts v 2.0 (at GotVapes). They are quite amazing for flavour and vapour with the tanks, and I have been trying them out with the regular cartridges and dripping which I have never had any success with until now. I have 4 new eGo-T's sitting idle now, and I don't know if I'll be going back to them. These other ones are too easy in comparison.

Guys and Dolls, I need some tips.

I am running a Type A, a Type B, and a Type B-LR, using and eGo-T 1000maH batt and a Riva SE batt.

Currently I am using 100%PG, 90/10 and 65/35 (a bit thick compared to what I'm used to..)

Due to a PG allergy, I am thinking of switching to something with more VG content, and I'd like to try the Intellicig Ecopure juices, instead of putting off vaping altogether.

I know some of you (Cozzicon, Katya) were experimenting with that juice.
Cozzicon reported that the Type A died a VG death after some.
Katya reported it's doable if you dilute with some drops of water.

I might dilute with some vodka for the TH, as I can't stand a juice that delivers no TH.
Just imagine that the XO 65/35 from LF doesn't deliver much TH for me on the B-LR! And I'm not too keen on using mods for the higher voltage.

Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated as I need to reduce PG as much as possible.

Several vendors will do special mixes and even thin down the VG for you so it's more the consistancy of PG. With the tanks I think a 50/50 or 60/40 vapes best. Too thin and it runs out the tanks too easily. Just ask in the special direction box when you are ordering or email the vendor ahead of time to see if they will special mix for you. Ask the vendors that hand mix their juices and do not import pre-mixed bottles from Asia. Many on here in the sponser section.

You can buy a 100% VG e-liquid and make your own juice that would be completely free of PG:

E Cigarette Liquid Platinum Ice 54mg / E Cigarettes and E Liquid from Totally Wicked

I've been mixing my own for about 2 months now, and it's really pretty easy, especially with an e-juice calculator that helps you with the quantities of various contents:

eJuice Me Up - e-Juice e-Liquid Recipe Calculator

Pick your flavor and give it a try in small quantities until you find something you really like. The flavors are inexpensive, and you can make a lot of juice from a fairly small bottle of e-nic juice. The link I gave you is 54 mg nicotine, so you would want to probably dilute that to 24 or 18 mg nicotine. If you start out with 100% VG nicotine juice, you would dilute it with non-PG ingredients for a 100% VG juice. So, you will need a bottle of VG before you start mixing. VG can be diluted with 10 to 15 % distilled water or Vodka to thin in down sufficiently to use. Obviously the distilled water would do nothing but thin, and yes, the Vodka would give TH. You will need some supplies if you want to mix your own juice (i.e. small bottles for your juice, syringes for measuring liquids, your flavoring, e-nic juice, Vodka, distilled water, etc.)

It really isn't very difficult if you take your time in plugging in the ingredients to the e-juice calculator. Above all, know that you have to dilute the e-nic from how they sell it at such high strengths to something safe. There are all kinds of places with detailed directions on how to make your own juice. I really like the last juice that I made - French Vanilla Peppermint - 18 mg strength. PG is my main base, so I don't have to worry about TH - so I use distilled water 10% to thin my VG. I make my measurements on the VG after thinning. My final % on the juice I just made was 75% PG/ 25% VG, and my flavors were 20% French Vanilla / 5 % Peppermint. I know this sounds complicated, but download the E-Juice Calculator and you'll see pretty quickly exactly how easy it really is. It figures all of the quantities for you - you fill the bottle with the ingredients - shake well - and vape.

Nancy, do you find that when you pull the plate you loose the wick like in the video? I can barely see what I'm doing in there and I'd hate to mess up a 12 buck atty. Yesterday I did a clean with lemon juice, white vinegar and baking soda. It did a real nice job but I have no idea if it's really cleaning the coil the way it should. One day I'm gonna just take one of these apart and get a better idea of what's inside one...lol, too chicken at this point and none of mine have died yet. When one goes out I think I'll experiment on it. Now to find the stats on Amazon.

Since I started doing 3-4 dry burns just before I pull the plate, I have only "lost" one wick when pulling the plate (out of 20-25 plate pulls) and was able to reinsert the wick with no problem.

You should try Good Prophets 100% VG juice. It's REAL thin and pretty clear. Used it on my ego-t type b with no issues

Hey Joanr, Tom10!

sorry for the delay, but I had my fiancee at hospital so didn't really have much time on my hand.

I appreciate how most of you are ready to go out of your way to help a fellow vaper

I never had leaking issues using 100% PG, so I think for me the only concern regarding viscosity would be gunking up the coil not leaking.

Being in EU I think I have less options than being in the US. Postage costs and customs make everything harder/not worthwile to get from outside the EU. I have started cutting up my juices from 18mg to 16mg using 100% VG, because I wanted to cut a bit down on nic too at the same time. I haven't had issues with this mix so far with the atties. Haven't tried this mix on the Type A though. Will test later on today.

I have DIY'ed a Hypnotic Mist 82/18 @16mg (because having only 25mg PG for DIY, makes you really limited in your options for DIY). It's steeping right now and will try it later this week. I have used the eJuice Calculator for this recipe, as suggested by Tom10. Didn't take me long to figure how it works. Once I use up the 25mg I have, I think I will go for the 52mg Neat from C9V. That would allow me to put in less PG to my mixes.

I have found that cutting my china juices to 16mg with 100% VG didn't do much to alleviate the allergy. Alternatively, using the XO from LF UK did actually alleviate the allergy to some extent. What I think I will do is cut the XO juices to 16mg using a mix of VG, distilled water and vodka, to reduce further the PG intake. Just a guesstimate, that would down my PG to around 55 or 60%, which might be enough.

Just one question. Would one taste it if vodka is added to the mix? If for example I dilute 100% VG with say 10% - 15% vodka, would you taste the vodka?

Anyway, if that works, I'm going for that. I would like to DIY more but I have so limited time on my hands that sometimes I wonder how I find the time to actually

Granted, it's easy to DIY (and I already have the required supplies, just need more flavours) as this is not my first time but then my OCD would send me on a (probably neverending) quest to find the perfect flavour, but with the wedding due in just a handful of months, neither time, nor budget are on my side.

One last thing, someone suggested to me using the Perfumer's Apprentice flavourings, to which I have access in EU, might try those when I have more time.

Vape On and Vape Strong!

Hey washvap,

oh how I would love to try those, but as I mentioned before, getting things from outside the EU would be a PITA.

However, I do have access to some FSUSA juices in the EU (Link: Eliquid FSUSA — UK-Eliquid)

At a glance they seem to be 50/50, so might actually give those a try too. If I find those juices good, I hope thay's get them in 30ml bottles!

Well, will see..

Thanks!

You should try Good Prophets 100% VG juice. It's REAL thin and pretty clear. Used it on my ego-t type b with no issues

 

[Cyblood]

I have finally started doing this instead of only washing for 15mins in hot distilled water. What I am now doing is; First I do 4-5 dry burns with the needle plate on, then I pry out the needle plate. Do a proper dry burn and gently scrape the ashes off the coil, then let the atty sit for 15 mins in hot distilled water, stirring from time to time. Put the needle plate back in place and it's good as new.

If the wick is not too dark, I do not burn it, as it seems that burning it would not only clean the wick, but would also make it more fragile/brittle. When I used to burn the wick with a lighter I would usually find some strands lying around the coil the next time I pried out the needle plate.

Since I started doing 3-4 dry burns just before I pull the plate, I have only "lost" one wick when pulling the plate (out of 20-25 plate pulls) and was able to reinsert the wick with no problem.

 

[Tom10]

Just one question. Would one taste it if vodka is added to the mix? If for example I dilute 100% VG with say 10% - 15% vodka, would you taste the vodka?

I've never used Vodka and don't drink, so I have no idea what the effect would be other than dilution. I know from previous posters that it would add TH. Maybe you could split the dilution between distilled water and Vodka for a small batch and give it a try.

I don't always burn the wick either, but if I do..I then drop it on very hot water and handle wet. I did lose 1 wick..it just fell apart.

Hey guys,

Pardon me as I'm gonna ask a question that is prolly being ask tons of times in this thread.

I'm on a regular joye ego and few of my friends is interested in vaping, I was gonna recommend them joye ego until I found out about ego-T.

Since Ego-T is relatively new, are there any issues to it? Which should I recommend to my friends, regular joye ego, ego-T or others?

 

[Stonemull]

nowadays, i would suggest a few ego batterys, an ego charger and a few 510T attys and whistle tip tanks, throw in a 5 pack of boge LR cartos and they should be set with a good kit.

 

[washvap]

If your going with an ego-t, remember that you wanna go with the type b model since it's an improved version of type A. I HIGHLY recommend the type-B's since that's what got me off of cigarettes. I like the flavor, th, and vapor. The LR version is awesome as well.

Some people have found that the flavor is muted a bit (mostly on the type a regular atties). Also, it will take a little bit of cleaning to keep the atties working good. But, that goes for any other type of PV out there.

Most people that start vaping including me hate to refill carts or whatever. Convenience is going to be the top priority. It's to much of a hassle and the 2ml juice capacity of the type b's are perfect for the job. The 1000 mah batteries last pretty much the whole entire day as well.

 

[revolver]

eGo-T or 510-T all the way !

Im a convert ! Heee.

(Even though I still drip; but I 'go T' mostly!)

 

[dt76]

gosh the more i read the more confuse i get..

I'm planning to buy few sets of Ego-T LR type B 1000mah from Alvin who is also a forumer here but I've read there's lotsa flooding/leaking issues with ego-t LR type B in this forum as well..

I have 5 Ego-T's - regular atomizer - type B - Large Tank - and I don't have those issues unless I over-fill a tank or use the same tank too long. They sell new for about $80 a set. If you can get them for a reasonable price - go for it. It's a great PV, but I haven't tried the LR atomizer. There might have been a batch problem, but I haven't had any trouble with mine. I'm talking about the large tank - not the mega cartridge or mega atomizer without a tank. I tried the Mega's and did have some problems - plus I didn't like them.

 

[Ajnatto]

For Me i've been using the Mega Tanks (Type B) and i love them, i have been using them for about 3 days now.

 

[DaveP]

A strange thing has happened suddenly with my Riva batteries when using my Ovale ego-t tanks and atties.I put a fully charged
battery on and when I use it, the battery blinks and will not work.It happened with both my rive batts.I than take the battery, put a regualr 510 atty and cart on and it works fine.Has this happened to anyone else yet?

Old post, but also a new problem for me. I ordered a Riva 510 kit from LF just to get two new Riva 510 batts for the 3.7v output. One works fine with all my attys, but the other won't work with the Ego-t Meg type B tank standard resistance atty (the other one does). If I screw it on and press the button I get no frying sound and the battery blinks 4 times and won't light the blue switch button light when I press it again. If I unscrew it and screw it back in, it does the 4 blinks and locks out again when I press the button. I think that it is current overload sensing as Scottbee suggested except one works and the other doesn't. Both are brand new.

The bad one lights up my Joye 510 LR 1.5 ohm atty, so current load shouldn't be the problem. What I think is happening is that there's some contact between the center post and ground. Maybe it's a little shred of thread residue sticking out and touching. The Riva batts seem to have a different feel when first screwing them into the charger, like the threads aren't polished. This goes away after a few times screwing them on and off. Maybe it's threading residue that touches.

I just emailed Liberty Flights support about the issue. I'm sure they will swap it out.

 

[Uncle Screwtape]

DaveP, I have one Riva batt and it has been wonkey since the beginning. It will work with some attys and carts and not with others. It's not a low center post thing because it does the weird blinking thing. It also killed a charger.

IMHO, stay away from the rivas. There's a reason they cost less than an eGo, they are lesser quality. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.
