New EGO TANK system.

[wyojoe]

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.

I have 5 Riva batteries and have had them for 5 months, and 3 of my friends bought Riva kits and none of us have had any problems with the Riva batteries, so far.

I have had 4 Rivas for a while now and I love them. Baught them at Liberty Flights (best price). One with 808 threads and two with 510 threads. I have never had had a problem with either of them.

I mixed some VG in the ration of 80% VG, 20% Vodka.
Cutting 18mg juices to 16mg using this mix improves TH a lot. And is nearly as thin as PG in the ration I used.
% of total vodka in the final mix is very small but the difference is there.

What I noticed though is that it leave much more condensate on the +ve battery terminal through the big hole on the +ve connector of the atties.

Will play with different levels of vodka and till I find the best compromise.

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.

10% to 15% is the usual recommended dilution for VG. I haven't experimented at all with Vodka, but I would suggest that you take the dilution down to 15% and maybe make half of the dilution distilled water and half Vodka. If you continue to have negative results of any kind, take the dilution down to 10%. I tried very small batches of 3 ml until I got the desired result while mixing my own. I now have several favorites that I can consistently make exactly the way I like it. Using multiple flavors is more difficult, but all of my favorites so far are multiple flavors. Just ideas for you - I hope this helps you.

I have been using cone and mega tanks on my SD for a month now, there So good, that the day they emailed me about new SD body and there going to make SD for the 510 tank I preordered 1. ... any day now....from sd site they are a little more now, but when the the little space from adapter gos away, I'll be happy

I just received mine today (with the type A tank). My only fear is the leaking a lot of people here have experienced. I haven't had any leaks yet, but time will tell. I'm already almost done vaping my second refilled tank and so far, so good. Before this, I've only used a Joye 510, but 90% of the time was using kr808 batteries with Bloog cartos. I was getting extremely frustrated of the burned juice taste with those (and trust me, I was super careful about keeping them moist). That told me it was time for something completely different, lol. Granted, it's only been a few hours, but I'm loving the Ego T.

After I emailed customer service about the battery, I read someone's post about using a large paper clip bent slightly on the end to hook the center post in the atty and pull it out slightly. Once I did that, the bad batt works fine with that atty. They are sending me a replacement with a return bag. I knew the problem was a short. I just couldn't read it with the batt screwed in. I need to modify an old atty with test leads to read while the battery is screwed in.

If you look at both batts, you can see that the center post in the batt is a slightly larger diameter on one than the other. Maybe the spread occurred when they pressed it in and it contacts the outer connector. That's one good reason not to screw batteries on too tight. You eventually push the center connector down and even with the outer ring and get contact.

Yes you are right , never screw atty's on to tight. Sometimes it will push down the center post of the battery and sometimes it will do the same thing to the (atty) and you will need to pull up the center post on the atty. Never over tighten.

I knew I loved my e-go T with type B tanks. I was looking to order more attys and had my 15 year old son look at them, with his young eyes, and discovered the one I have are LR. It is my first e-cig, so I didn'realize anything except battery was a little shortr lived than most.

I bought 2 attys when I got it and they have lasted almost a month, with almost constant use. They are still going strong.

I was having some leaks, so I used a new tank andit isnot leaking. I have alternated 2 tanks for a month. I didn't even use a syringe to fill them most of the month.

I love the draw, I love the convenience of the ego-T. I'm just hoping my leaking was just from needing a new tank.

Now, I just need to figure out the best way to tighten the draw on my GoGo so the Ego-T gets a break a little more often. LOL

Thanks Tom!

What I was saying though is that in the final mix, when cutting 18mg juices to 16mg, there is only roughly 11% of the 80/20 VG/Vodka mix, so that gives roughly 2.2% of vodka. Thant is if I'm doing the math correctly


As a side note: I have tried ECOpure Rich 15mg on a Type A normal atty and after a few hours the flavour is a bit off, like it's being cooked or something. Will probably scrap the ECOpure idea on the tanks.

I just ordered the tank type b lr atty for my ego and the type b tanks. I was using 510 atty and carts and wanted to try something different I hope to get more flavor.

 

[Stonemull]

unlikely, will get a lot more vapour .. but likely the same or less flavour.
306LR for flavour or boge cartos and a feeder.

 

[DaveP]

My 306/drip tip does produce more flavor, but the Ego tanks aren't far behind. I just get tired of the tanks leaking at times and flooding when the tank gets low. The technology is still immature.

I would like to add that I tried the type B atty's and they really didn't work for me. I started out loving the ego-t kit that I got but both attys I got in my kit started crapping out after a month. I made sure that I cleaned them ever few days but after a month they just stopped preforming as they should. I admit that I have not taken them apart to do a dry burn but I was doing cleanings every 3 days. I then got some B attys from this forum. As soon as I got them they both had a very thin "hit" or draw. They leaked like crazy where I was constantly looking to see if that was the only issue. Two days ago I got 2 more A attys and 2 LR attys. I have to say that even though the flavor on the B is a little

 

[Teke507]

Both My b low resistance Attys have wierd taste almost plastic like... I love the th and vapor but the after taste is ad

 

[DevilFishPhil]

Just got mine today, and as much as I love the smooth taste and vapor production I find there is absolutely no throat hit whatsoever which is kind of disappointing. I guess I'll use it to try different liquids and flavors but I doubt this could ever be my go to vaping solution.

 

[Cyblood]

I hear you Dev!

I need to find something else, similar to a tank system but which actually delivers a TH. For me TH on the Type As and Bs SR is non-existent, and the Type B LRs are either leaking or giving me the burnt taste, or both at the same time. I've just about had enough adjusting the wick and cleaning etc

I am considering using 510-T's with the Riva batteries. Someone on this forum said they deliver better TH and give much less trouble. I need to know if these handle dark juices, but I'm very tempted at this point.

If you're looking for a better TH just do a little primer puff and you'll find a real difference. I think the ego-t attys take a little longer to heat up than some others, if you want to test this out do some quick puffs and blow it right out and you'll see the see very little with the first one and much more with the second one onward.

I've never had a leak with my ego-t although the secret seems to be to top it off often. This will also prevent juice from getting in the mouthpiece and getting sucked up which isn't a lot of fun My rule of thumb is that when I hold it up and don't see any juice, I top it off, which might seem like a pain but it really isn't and only takes a minute or so. You can vape it down more than this but I've found that if you go down to half way or so then the trouble can start. Otherwise it's smooth sailing all the way

I'm happy to report that I've had no leaking at all. I saw the posts saying that it was prone to leak when it got down to half a tank or lower, but I've been vaping it pretty low with each tank and still have had no problems. I like to switch flavors very often, so I once I get it so low that very little shows up in the tip when it's turned upside down, I've been rinsing the tank out if I plan to switch flavors or topping it off at that point if I'm keeping the same juice. I haven't ordered any extra tanks yet, and didn't want to use up the five that came with it, so I've just been switching between the two that I have opened. I'm still pretty happy with it. I plan to order more tanks soon and at least one more atomizer for now so I'll have backup if (well, WHEN) anything goes wrong with the two that came with it.
