Thanks RedZone and Kent!

Well, actually I mostly use fruity flavours, from ENjuice, though I have a couple of nutty/tobaccoey flavours. I'm not that keen on coffees or tobaccos. I have had only bad luck using the LR Type Bs on the Riva SE. That's why I'm asking..

I'm not quite willing to taste the burnt tyre fumes with this new device. I want to enjoy it to the max.

That's why I'm afraid to try the LRs on the eGo-C


Maintenance on the LR Atty is required only little faster for me than the SR Atty. I think you will like the TH on the LR "C" Atty's even using the standard Ego Batteries. The LR's really cook! :) I tried my REVA VV Bat's on the SR, but once I got the LR's I haven't used an SR Atty in 45 days now.

Duration between maintenance is going to depend on what kind of juice you are vaping. I wasn't messing with Atty's that had decreased performance for the first several weeks. I finally sat down, and went through several this week. I spent a total of an hour.... 6 of the 7 LR's came back 100%.

I am not sure how long it will take Joye to roll out "B" Cones/Tanks for the "C".. Because the Atty is independent of the cone in the "C", I would suggest putting up with the "A" tanks on the "C", until the "B"'s are released. The Pro's outweigh the Con's IMO.

I use the SE Rivas on my Decadent Vapour's 'Real Tab' flavor with an LR atty and it's the best taste without any burning of the ejuice. The SE's won't burn ejuice but they will wash out flavor with the lighter flavors.... best on those are the eGo batt with the SR atty.

So far I haven't experienced any burnt or discolored ejuice on the c's like one can on the t's. Just that wattage and flavor combos still hold - strong flavors like higher watts, light flavors like lower wattage. Even strong flavors do well on eGo batts and SR attys, just that some flavors - not all - will be enhanced with the SE/VV at higher volts or the LR or both.

Nice find dragon. Looks like a genuine Type "B" eGo-C. This will make many people happy (me included). It shouldn't take too long for the vendors to start stocking them.

Interesting - looks to me that they're using the same A holder but the 'B' head has an 'adapter' base the same as the c - only the body of the spike plate is so it fits the air channels of the B tank. The pot and coil could also be the same as the c. I'll likely wait for the joyetech and I heard that could be a while.

One question about a small detail that could make a difference:

How do you blow off the primer off these atties? Blowing directly through the atty head? Or blowing when mounted in the cone and base?

What had worked best from you?


Cy

I have to be honest, i never blow these atties...
I tried at the beginning but maybe just a drop comes out.
These C atties do not have a mesh holding juice inside, there's not really much liquid to blow.
Anyway what i do every 5-6 days is to get the base alone, wash it under hot tap water and blowing it a bit to clean the tiny air passage from residue.

Thanks for the tips OurNature.

You replied just in time because I have just had my eGo-C cone and base with 5 SR heads delivered a few moments ago! :)

I have tried to blow out the primer just the same and you're right..just a drop comes out.

I too noticed that when putting everything together, there's a gap between the cone and the base.


Will test it out with my trusty Riva SE batteries and also with the eGo VV battery and report back.


EDITED TO ADD:

I screwed on the cone to the base further and eliminated the gap, but it's a very tight fit and I don't know if I'm damaging the setup in any way this way.

Also, man, those heads are really minute! I didn't realise from the pics posted here that they were so small!

Other observations:

Atty measures 2.2 Ohms

With the Riva SE, these hit hard, no need to try the LRs for me so far.

Tried this with my VV eGo while output voltage was around 3.3V - TH is still great!

I don't need to take 6-8 second drags with the eGo-C, as I would have to do with the eGo-T (both Type As and Bs).
With the eGo-T atties SRs, TH was rarely noticeable for me. Using the Riva SE, 4-6 sec drags would do the job.

16mg juices really feel strong on this, might lower my mg a bit.

Using the Riva SE (at 3.8V), I feel a hint of burnt taste, and I am attributing this to the higher voltage as I don't have this issue with the VV at 3.3V.

I always voided the eGo and eGo-T batteries for their low voltage, but the reported 3.5V on the eGo-C batts might be an option for me..a sweet spot maybe.

Wicking is awesome, not need to waste half an hour tinkering with it to get it working out of the box..erm..blister! ;)

Finally found the holy grail of vaping wrt hardware. This is a close to perfection as it can get!

Happy camper here!

Now if only there was the Type B version...

Glad to know you're liking your new ego-c atty set up.
I'm going through my first month with ego-c's and i'm totally satisfied.

Been using my ego-c atty for a couple of weeks and it's been working great. The tanks were starting to getting looser installing and uninstalling them. So I was thinking that the caps were wearing. So I picked up some silicone caps for the tanks.

After putting them on two of my tanks I'm having some problems. I'm using my Volcano Peach (16 nic no more then 20% vg). I boosted the flavor using some Perfumers Apprentice peach flavor (3 mil added to 30mil juice). Taste and Vapor are great with the plastic tank caps. But pop on a silicone cap and flavor goes away on the first draw. By the second draw I start getting a burnt taste. I have to prime the atty alot, and often, to avoid the burnt taste. Even tried this with a second atty cartridge and tank, but it's doing the same thing. I haven't tried any other flavors yet. Think that might make a difference?

If I put the plastic cap back on then the flavor comes right back. Also I used a hole punch to open the silicone caps and they fit nicely over the spike.

Flavour is very clean on these, I have to agree, but I have had some darkening of the juice on these!

While juice was being darkened, it still maintained the flavours.

However, now I have tried again an Ovale juice and it started producing an awkward taste, will clean using vodka and a hot water rinse and report back.

Note: this is only day 2!

For me when the juice darkens considerably its has started to gunk up the coil inside the atty and time to clean the atty. I also pop of the spike plate and rinse the wick and coil piece out with hot water and blow it dry real good and let set for a few hours to dry real good then do a dryburn of the coil by watching the coil and pulsing the battery button until I see it glow evenly across the coil then put the spike plate back in and prime the wick inside the spike plate and watch it soak in. Put it all back together with a refilled tank and take a few puffs without hitting the power button and watch the bubbles rise inside the tank. I do hope this is a helpful suggestion for you. Happy Vaping

I wanted to share something I have noticed regarding wicking on the C. Kent C touched on aligning the atty with the tank earlier in this thread affecting how the air flows through the cone in turn changing juice delivery to the atty. I have experimented with this with some ultra thick juice (Boba's Bounty VG) and ultra thin juice (anything from Virgin Vapor) and here is what I have concluded.

6665359057_10a8fa74aa_z.jpg

Notice the tank is flat on the sides. The atty is also shaped the same with flat sides. Looking into the cone, when you tighten it down, you can rotate the atty to increase or decrease airflow around and up through the tank depending on how you align it. This will affect the vacuum inside the tank and increase or decrease juice flow to the atty. Other factors, of course, affect juice flow so this is assuming a clean atty/wick and a wick that is performing as it should.

If you are getting gurgling or leaking with thin juices then the first arrangement on the left might help. If you are getting dry hits or burnt flavors with thicker juices then the second arrangement on the right may help. This is assuming you have the button on the top (or bottom) and the tank aligned as shown.

This has helped me with Kona Coffee Milkshake from Virgin Vapor. It is an ultra thin juice as Annette pre-thins her juices and I was getting gurgling in the atty and even some juice down in the atty base. I set everything up like in the first illustration and the juice delivery slows and stops the gurgling.

This has also helped me with Boba's Bounty. Boba's Bounty from Alien Visions is all VG and is uber thick! I get some dry hits with thick juice sometimes. Set up the C like the second illustration on the right and I get better juice delivery and no dry hits.

Let me know what you think and how this works for other eGo-C owners out there. :)

That's a good one sammy - you might consider a copy/paste to the 'tips and trick' thread. I know it's eGo-t but it would apply there as well. The tips and trick thread should be considered for a 'sticky' here, imo, and perhaps the title changed to eGo 'tank systems' or eGo-t and eGo-c. ???

And it would be nice if people didn't ask general questions there but there's no way to stop that. I sent a few PM's out on it but - not my job really :) Anyone new reading this - keep the questions on eGo-c here and not on the 'tips' thread. Thanks.
