Just checking, I am about to get this thing, and it sounds so complicated! Should I just send it back unopened? Is it worth it, or does it just sound difficult until you do it hands on? I trying all the ego 's I could get my hands on, including the LCD, w, different t's and some kind of other weird one with lights.
Also does anyone advise to get another type of batt? Keep hearing Riva... Thanks so much everyone!!!

The Ego "C" system is not complicated at all. The Atty is merely not permanently attached to the Cone, so there are two additional components, compared to an Ego "T" system.
With the Atty as it's own component, it actually makes is "MUCH" easier for cleaning and maintenance. And also, cost is about 1/3rd the price compared to the "T" Atty's..
I have a Riva VV Battery, and have barely used it on my "C" system. I find the LR Atty's w/ the stock "C" Batteries give the experience I enjoy. Some are even using the SR Atty's w/ the stock batteries...
I purchased this system, because I was tired of all the "As you say" tinkering. I started on a 510 kit back in 2008, and had been direct dripping for a few years.
We really haven't seen any negative reviews here from anyone that has purchased the "C" Kit...

Soo..
Today I set aside and SR atty for cleaning later on, and meanwhile I started to use a fresh one. Burnt taste all the way! Priming was in vain, changing the tank was in vain, rotating the tank as suggested by sammy, in vain also.
It's clearly a wicking issue, but I thought one doesn't need to adjust the wick on these, but seemengly these are not perfect either.
I'm as close as one can get to quit vaping, I'm so frustrated. I had high hopes for the C but they're fading quickly.
I'm so fed up of wasting money and tinkering instead of actually vaping and doing other things.
So I am in the process of giving the new atty a clean up, if that doesn't fix it, I'm gonna start searching for alternatives to the tank system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to hear you are having issues. There is always the chance that the wick wasn't properly fitted during production. I haven't run across it yet with the "C" Atty's, but anything is possible. Why don't you just clean the Atty you have been using, and move onward? We're talking about a $5.00 component, that you are discussing the possibility of giving up on the entire system? It sounds like you were vaping fine with the other Atty? (I've thrown away $5.00 on stuff, more times than I'd like to admit).. I have 15 Atty's sitting here waiting on a big cleanup session.. At $6.00 a pack for Marb Reds, and the other associated health issues, I feel like I've got $9.00 a day to spend on vaping, just to end up break even, from my 1.5 pack a day previous habit... Even if I went through an Atty a day, and had to throw them away permanently, I wouldn't think twice about it.
Hi RedZone,
I have cleaned the new atty and it has improved much. Why does one have to clean a brand new atty? This was also common for me with the Ts.
Considering I don't have much time on my hands, I'm not very keen on cleaning atties per 3-4 days. At least I used to get 5-6 days with the Ts.
Regarding money, I shop from the UK, since shipping wise that's what suits me best, being in the EU (and also lowly paid). Still, shipping to Malta can be as expensive as $14, so a blister pack of, say, $30, wouldn't be exactly $30 for me, but rather $45. So I guess you understand more my reasoning now.
I am tired of tinkering with atties, even out of the box, and being this busy, you can understand that I need a more reliable solution. Maybe if the price of these atties was closer to that of cartos, that would be fine by me to just toss them away.

I would gladly pay $7 an Atty if I could live there in Malta!
And still be able to live at my current standard of living!

Cyblood - Are you using all VG, PG or a mix? I have some issues with all VG juice and have to set up the C differently to get it to wick properly or I get the dreaded dry hits. I noticed that a new atty has more issues than one I have broken in and use for a bit.
I would try taking just the atty and dripping a drop of juice right on the spike hole. It will pool a bit on the spike and then should start to wick down in the atty after 10 seconds or so and then will dissipate down into the coil. If this is not happening you may have an atty that has a tight wick. I have use a needle to gently loosen the wick for better wicking on thick VG juice. Hope this helps.
I hear ya on the tinkering thing.
To me the eGo-C has required less fiddling than I had to do with the cartomizer setup I was using before. I also think the vape from an eGo-C is much cleaner. The fact that you "can" opt to do maintenance on the atty is just a bonus. My wife has been using the same SR atty (when she's not using an LR) off and on for almost two months now!I only have eGo batteries so I can not comment much on the other batteries. I can say that I think the C battery is a wee bit higher voltage than the older eGo battery I have. It is a very slight difference and I honestly would not want to go much higher. I have tried a few puffs off of some gnarly 3.7v and higher mods with low resistance attys and they have all seemed harsh to me. The eGo-C at about 3.5v with the LR atty at 1.8 ohms is the best tasting and cleanest vape I have had yet!
I am about to order a new pack of the SR eGo-c attys but am wondering about the LR atty's as some here seem to like them better. My thoughts is the low Resistance atty will use up the battery quicker than the SR. I am very happy with the SR and have truly enjoyed them. So What thoughts do some of you that like the LR have???
Some flavors seem to come out better with the LR Atty's (Of course it's all subject to personal preference): Coffee, Tobacco, Vanilla flavors like the LR's. Fruit and mint/menthol/cinnamon flavors tend to like the SR's...
After that general breakdown, there are still those that mainly vape the SR's, and other's like myself that vape almost everything on the LR's.. I vape Mutt's Fire 'n' Ice and Ms T's Red Hotz on the SR's, everything else on my LR's...
Since I have a few vv eGo batts, and I'm only vaping one flavor now on an LR, I'll likely not be buying any more LR's. That flavor, real tabs, will go with an SR on the vv set at the high voltage - I've tried it and it rates about the same wattage as the LR on a regular eGo-c batt, so that will work for me when I run out of LR's - so far I haven't lost any c atty/module/head yet.
That said, if it weren't for liking to drip my coffee vape on a cisco 1.5Ω atty, I'd definitely run the espresso/coffee flavors on an eGo-c LR plus a vv eGo batt set on high. All my other flavors taste better on an SR with a regular eGo batt. But ymmv depending on your flavors mainly. So if you can get an LR to try or a set of them for $25 - it's likely worth a try for you. I still haven't burnt out any ejuice with the LRs although they will washout lighter flavors.
Yeah! The problem is you can't live here and keep the same standard of living.
Middle class has vanished in the past few years, so there's only poor and rich people. Don't get me started LOL

Sammy,
I'm using juices with over 90% PG. I have also tried what you suggested but still no success.
I have finally pulled off the plate and found out that part of the wick had adhered to the coil, and came off. Also, I pushed the wick in the spike a tiny bit, but also in vain, can you believe it?
So I'm suspecting the problem was the wick, from the start!

Ok well thanks everyone and I'll give it a go. Um, what's an sr atty? Lr is low resistance, is sr standard resistance? Is an sr what you get with the kit?
The only Lr I ever tries was a dripping atty and I gotta admit it was harsh and burnt fast. Put 3 drops and maybe one drag was good... I must be doing something wrong as so many people like to drip. With no one at all in my area vaping there are zero people to actually talk to and share things with..... I plan to change that soon, though! Xox

Yes SR = standard resistance, and that is what you get with the kit. The SR's may work out good for you. The Ego "C" LR are not as low Ohm as what you probably used for direct dripping, so even though they may product more throat hit than the Ego "C" SR's, still nowhere near as harsh as what you tried previously.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply, good info. Like I said, I like the SR with my juice and I am sure the LR would produce more vapor but if it runs my battery down quicker then I think I should stay with the SR. Does the LR atty last any longer between cleaning than the SR??
Thanks, I'm still not sure if a LR would work better for me because of battery life (need to recharge more often) I would think it would drain the battery quicker with the lower ohm's.
