I get 4-5 days from an new Atty

Hey RedZone, wondering how much juice you vape per day and specially what juices you use...
I vape 6-7 ml a day and i can go on vaping with an atty for about 2 weeks before i need to clean it.
My juices are very clean and pure though.

Not sure what constitute's "Clean and Pure"

My main flavor that I vape 80% of the time is Ms T's Bananas Fosters Coffee. I would classify it Medium in color. It's a 70/30 PG/VG mix approx.

i was supposed to say 'clear' , sorry
It's seems like many coffee juices do gunk coils and wick fibers pretty fast, specially when the coffe flavouring is released from extraction.

I use tobacco flavor 70/30 pg/vg , about 5-6ml per day and my Ego-c lasts about 3 to 4 days and need cleaning, it doesn't die it just does not perform like it should. After clean/dry burn it like new again. My juice does gunk up the coil. I am getting 70/30 tobacco flavor, zero nic and will see it that lasts longer in the Ego-c

I just finished an Atty cleanup session, and was able to resurrect 10 of the 13 Atty's I had waiting to clean up.
BUT, I'm really not satisfied with the way they vape. They just don't hit the way a brand new Atty hits. I'm estimating like 80%..... Which means a faster drop off, to less than favorable performance. I'll keep these around as back ups, but ordered a blister pack of both SR/LR's from Cignot. I get 4-5 days from an new Atty, and at $1.25 a day average, that's an acceptable expense for my habit... Compared to the $9.00 per day I was spending on Reds....

There was also the 2 hours it took to boil/disect Atty Spikes/burn off wicks/burn off coils/rinse/repeat/arghhhhhhhhhh

Cost just doesn't justify the time and effort for me.

The "C" kit, has been a godsend for me. Fill and vape. Putting this much maintenance into the equation for the return, just isn't cutting it for me.

RedZone,
I am getting the clean vape of a like new atty when I do maintenance. Are you doing priming the atty before you put them back together?

Hey all!
I'm new to the ego/vaping world. I got mine a couple of days ago and I'm trying to plan ahead.

Where do you get the jewelry pliers, besides a jewelry shop? I don't have anything like that around here.

Do you have to take the atty apart? Does it work just to boil the atty by chance?

What do you do with the cleaned attys that you aren't using? I saw somewhere that they have to be wet all the time. Could I put them in a baggy with some VG?

Thank you!!!

Sam

If your talking about the Ego-C atty, Just boiling the atty will clean the wick but not the coil. You need to dry burn the coil on your battery/mod until it glows quickly when you press the battery button. This will turn the gunk into an ash just like the grease in a Bar-b-que grill. After cleaning just soak up a little VG through the wick and like you said stick them in a container of some kind. Hope this helps

I have tried every chemical I could think of, and ultrasonic cleaning them, and nothing will clean a coil to like new unless you Dry Burn the coil. If you want take a C apart so you can see the coil and try to just clean it with liquid, then you can see what it looks like. The gunk is a hard crystalline like coating all around the coil, kind of reminds me of a sucker melted around the coil. If you do find something that truly dissolves the gunk, please share it with us, it would be nice to find something that works.

Thank you much!!! I thought I saw a post earlier that said that boiling did take care of the coil so I had to ask. OF course I can't find it again! lol

Thanks again

You are welcome. It never hurts to ask a question or ask again if you don't understand. I have and still do ask questions here on the ECF and everyone has been wonderful answering my questions. I have also read posts that people say they boil cartos, but like I said I have tried everything I know and nothing cleaned the coils and I don't think the people that said it did work could even see the coils, because with regular carto's you can't see the coils. Boiling may make it work a little better, but not for long and its not like a new again. Happy vaping

 

[rpittman]

you can get the pliers at Michaels, hobby lobby, joanns ect...

 

[wyojoe]

A question, how do you people like the Ego-c, Good or Bad and Why. I truly like them so far, and they work very well with a good juice that doesn't clog the coils to quickly, and that (the juice) is true with any carto. I find they are the easiest maintenance of anything I have used, that has a coil that can be dry burned.

I've only had mine for a short time. When it's working right, it's great. I get better flavor from it than I do from LR Boge carto (which I also like) using the same juice. I still have had a flooded atty where the draw gets real tight. At that point it needs to be dissembled and cleaned. The nice thing is that when this happens, unlike my old eGo-T, it doesn't leak outside of the e-cig. The leaked fluid stays within the cone, atmoizer and battery connection area.

So the jury is still out for me really. I love it when it's working as designed, but I've still had issues though not as many as I did with the eGo-t.

Thanks for your thoughts. That's the way I feel, the C is way better than the T, not perfect and don't know if they will ever be, but they keep improving things all the time so hopefully all the carto's will get better and last longer with lower maintenance.

When that happens to me with my eGo-T (haven't been able to get a 'C' yet) I take the tank out and tailpipe it until it starts to dry out. If it doesn't fix my problem I then give it a clean

You can buy jewelry screwedriver sets on eBay for $3.95 + free shipping Same w/ hemostats...

My buddy soaks "C" Atty's in Grain alcohol overnight, and then shakes them (Using a container w/ a lid of course).. He never removes the strike plate. Does a dry burn off afterwards.. For some reason, he is concerned with boiling the Atty's, thinks it will shorten the coil life.

So are you saying that he doesn't remove the, what I call the needle plate and does a dry burn with the plate and wick still attached ?

That's how I used to do it with the ego-t. Worked fine for a long time. I love how easy it is to get into the C though.

Yes. He claims he is getting a month out of an Atty just doing a "Grain Alcohol" soak.

Is he also doing a dry burn after the alcohol soak?

 

[wyojoe]

Do you dry burn your eGo-C after cleaning? If so do you take the needle plate off before you dry burn, or leave it on?
