Hey everyone.

Been vaping for a while now and finally going to start talking on the board. I had a horrible experience with an electronic cig i bought from the mall. Luckily my brother in law found out about cignot which happens to be 15 mins from my house.

I started with a ego kit, eventually moved up to cartomizers and now I purchased a Ego C kit from them a few weeks ago and I'm fully enjoying it. I still am smoking cigarettes but cutting down a lot.

Favorite juices right now are toffee and black tea from cignot.

Hi Steve, I'm a n00b but this seems to be a very friendly place. Do you have a picture of you're kit and are there things about it that you enjoy more than the others?

one question I have is about the eco C. I think I have had it for 2 weeks now... I've noticed that sometimes it has issues wicking properly. I have to keep priming it every time I want to vape.... Any idea's why?

Congrats Stevo, you have a nice kit. Don't worry about the ones your still smoking, time will take care of those. Just relax and enjoy the process.

Are you using attys and carts? Or a tank?

I can take a picture of my stash when I get home. Currently at work with just my ego and a spare tank

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum. I been to Cignot and the fella there showed me how to completely clean the atty adjust the wick , dry burn the coil, not the ego-c but the regular one which is similar atty in the inside workings of it -coil -wick.
Anyways when the wick in the spike set to high up you get wicking problems and sometimes a burnt taste it needs to be lowered sometimes they move.

Since you only 15 minutes from the store lucky you im 75 minutes away and the tollway is expensive travel nowadays...lol
I would go there with device and they will show you how to fix the wick there very nice people.
Best to you.

I definitely plan on going there tomorrow since its pay day and all haha. Dennis is a great guy, i can never go in there without spending a couple hours there.

I was going to attempt to clean it myself but when I bought it he did tell me to come in when it needs to be cleaned so might as well right? I think he knows ill drop more money if I come in lol.

welcome aboard you guys.

I've been using the tanks for a while now (the little plastic ones that come with the eGo-T). You shouldn't have to prime it before every drag. If you have a high VG ratio you may want to cut it down with some PG (If you have a Tractor Supply near you can pick up a gallon of it for $20), distilled water (under $2 at any supermarket), or some PGA/151 proof vodka.

Once in a while I need to prime it to get a good drag. I tend to fill the tank up when it starts looking empty, there is still some juice on the wick. Sort of saves the hassle of needing to prime it after letting it dry out a bit.... Also avoids that icky burnt taste .
