I have my eGo that i got on Saturday. I have a standard atomizer, a LR atomizer, and a cartomizer. I have some Vaporbomb Cafe Mocha in the standard, and the LR and the carto have some caramel candy. I've been switching each one out throughout the past couple of days. Just trying to get a feel for which way I prefer to vape. For the atomizers I have been using an empty cart and dripping 2-4 drops in and then vaping that till it starts to taste a little funny then adding another drop or two onto the attys.

I went to put the standard atty on with the cafe mocha after vaping the carto. I was just kind of curious so I put the atty on and hit the button while looking into the atty. I only did it for a couple seconds. I saw vapor but no "cherry." I put a couple drops on and tried it out and it doesn't really have that good of a flavor. I took the cart off and looked down in there while pressing the button again for a couple of seconds and same thing, a little vapor, but no cherry. It also kind of makes a slight popping sound, and sounds like its chugging in a way.


I'm sure I'll hear about this, about how this "dry burn" I am doing is going to ruin my atty's. I'm willing to learn my lessons, but just curious if I am doing something totally wrong. Is it flooded? Should I clean it out and try again? I did that with my new attys, ran hot water through them and did the dry burn technique on this forum and the cherry was noticable. Is everything alright, and I just can't see the cherry because of gunk buildup from the juice?

Most likely cause is that the atty's wet when you're doing it, though you could have a bit of buildup. As long as the atty's wet, you're not hurting anything. If you're getting vapor and the atty is getting hot, it's still working. Keep in mind that since the atty originally had the caramel, the flavor will be muddy and mingled at first when switching to another flavor. Sometimes that isn't always the best flavor, but it should go away after a bit.

It will literally stop working... stone cold. I've only had a couple die on me over the 8 mths I've been vaping. The vapor production did drop off before on one before it gave out totally. The other just... quit. I rarely clean my attys... only if they get a foul taste that won't go away. Otherwise, I just blow out the excess when I switch attys and drain them overnight. I do use different attys for different flavor groups though... one for coffee/chocolate flavor, one for fruity flavor, etc...

Great. Thanks. I'll just keep vaping.

I saw you mentioned the cafe mocha will taste different after mixing it and the caramel. I didn't. They are in different attys, and I just keep switching attys. I can see where you might get confused. I tend to ramble.


Maybe the switching is causing my taste buds to riot. Who knows. ;)

On top of that i have an order for some attys, drip tips, and a couple other things. Should be set for 2-3 months. Except for the few flavors I find that I love that I have to purchase large quantities of.

Keep telling yourself that. This is a hobby man. If you are like me and a lot of others here you will find something else you will want to buy. I am at the three month mark now and have been averaging 3 packages a week for as long as I have started. New thing is DIY. Anyway welcome to the hobby and remember you would have spent money on smokes anyway. Now intead of ashes and butts you can collect cool gadgets and juice! Enjoy

Quick add-on. I am ordering some extras and I came across a site that had 510 XL Attys. Are those the same as the EGO Mega's just with the generic name? OR are eGo mega's their own thing.

Thanks again and sorry for all the random questions.

The 510 mega or XL attys are different than the eGo mega attys. They are more like regular 510 attys only longer...they hold about 23 drops instead of about 12 (regular.) The eGo attys are fat...they hold more, but they're messier, too. The 510 XL attys are my very favorite. They take XL carts...regular carts won't fit. They're great.
