Problem with new ego-t carts

[LeAnn]

I just bought the new Ego-t cart and atty, I love it, but my problem is just a little one. The juice seems to collect in that little space by the mouthpiece hole and after vaping I get alot of juice in my mouth the more I vape the more juice I get into my mouth. Does anyone else have this problem, and or do you have a solution? Thanks in advance

Is it juice or it is the condensation produced from vaping? I have the condensation issue, as I'm sure all do, I just pop the end pieces out and swab a q-tip in there then put it back together.

 

[LeAnn]

I didn't know that that end came off, thanks, no it is the juice, I get condensation too but that is more in the bottom, where the tank part is. I will see if I can pop off the top and let you know if it helps, Thanks a lot!

It works,Great! Thank you very much, this is my first try with these products so I didn't know there was a cap on the mouthpiece!Duh!

The thing is, when you vape it creates the condensation, which is laced with the juice. So when you get some on your lip or tongue, it tingles like juice, but is really just laced condensation. Now I suppose it would be possible to get juice in the tip IF the atty was flooded, AND you tipped it mouthpiece down where the juice then flooded into the mouthpiece, but those holes to the mouthpiece are fairly small, so likely it is just laced condensation.

 

[LeAnn]

Well I try to hold it horizontal but that doesn't always happen and it juice or awfully dark condensation. What happens when you flood the atty does it do something bad? Sorry for all the questions but I am new to this, I am use to cartomizer, can fill them and work with them real good, but this atomizer thing is new to me!

Usually you'll hear a gurgling, slurping sound when you inhale if you have a flooded atty. I have yet to truly "flood" this type of atty. If it is flooding, that means too much liquid is getting to the atty too soon. My guess would be your tank is not sealed properly. Make sure the cap on the tank is fully closed and the tank is fully inserted, listen for the "pop" or "click". Also, be certain you wipe the outside of the tank dry if you've gotten any juice on it while re-filling. Anything left behind on the outside of the tank can trickle down only to be sucked up into the air passages when you inhale. These are the only times I've experienced anything even remotely resembling juice in the mouth or leaks using an eGo-T. I've since started filling with a syringe to save on the wear and tear of popping the caps off and haven't had a recurrence. I'm definitely loving the tank both in quality and consistency of vapor. I originally got the eGo-T for driving purposes, but now I prefer it over my previous method of direct dripping. My Backup has become my Primary. This is the most "low maintenance" device I've ever used.

Your juices are leaking out from the tank onto the platform where the peircing thing is. When you inhale and tip it horizontically it the leaked juices will get sucked from the inlet holes on your tank and into the mouth piece. Well atleast your atty and tank isn't leaking juices into the bottom of the atty and seeps through the inlet holes where the atty and battery meet

 

[LeAnn]

I don't have any leaking at the bottom, it's only at top when I vape, so how am I suppose to hold it when I am vaping? Vertically? I thought that I read somewhere not to hold it vertically. I think filling with a syringe is an excellent idea, it's not easy to get that cap off annyways and hard on my fingernails, like I have broke a couple trying to pry them off. I still think cartomizers are easier, I just wanted to get rid of that fiber filling taste and burnt taste, but when the ego-t is empty, it taste burnt too, so I don't know if I am gainging anything anyways!

 

[Sassyonemeis]

if you dont have juice leaked into the atty, then I dont believe it's juice making it's way into the mouthpiece. I stand by my theory that it's condensation.

And yes, I would hold it a bit vertical as the needle needs to have contact with the juice and when the tank empties, it might not as the level of juice will fall below the needle in the tank.

Just my opinion of course!

It is virtually impossible to get juice in your mouth by drawing on the tank cart no matter how you hold it--vertical, horizontal, or upside down.

In addition, I don't even know how one could flood the atty unless one intentionally with malice tried to do so.
The system works on a vacuum basis. I guess if one made continual draws on the tank cart without igniting the atomizer, it would be possible...but again, one would have to intentionally do this.

Leann, make sure you are pushing the tank carto all the way down...it may take a little bit of force..you will hear a click.

I have read probably 200 different reviews about the ego-t and this is the first I have heard anyone complain about getting juice in their mouth or even flooding the atty. Some have complained about leakage, but that is referring to juice leaking from the atty and tank cart connection and running down the side of the battery; this juice in no way can make it through the tank cart to your mouth.

Most complain about taste or lack of juice getting to the atty.

What vendor did you use to buy your ego-t system and what kind of battery are you using it on?

 

[Sassyonemeis]

What?? I disagree with this wholeheartedly! I removed the chads from some of my tanks and they leaked. Today, I friend of mine had his tank leak out into the atty as well and he hadnt removed the chads. If you leak a full tank into the atty and then hold it horizontally, that juice very well could head towards the tank - where the intake is for the mouthpiece, thereby sucking juice into your mouth.

Don't know if this would help but I put a drop of ejuice or pg vg on the area of the seal before I snap it in place the first time. I think that by lubeing it, that it will cut a cleaner hole out and make a tighter fit. I also rotate it around 360 deg's after It is snapped in maybe to help round the hole. I have had no leaking problems with my T-tanks. Hope this helps.

If it IS just condensed vapor, try to keep drawing on it for a second or two after you releases the button. This MAY help reduce the amount of liquid collecting in there.

I've had the same thing happen with two different tanks.

The first time, it happened while I was carrying the e-cig in my coat pocket. I'd vaped fine with it during my breaks at work, but then I took it out and the mouthpiece was full. Definitely not condensation.

The second time was last night, with a different tank, when I suddenly started tasting the liquid after just a few puffs.

I cleaned the second tank, refilled it, and now it appears to be working okay. I'm guessing it has to do with not having the tank fully inserted. The first time it probably got loose from being in my pocket. The second time, I probably didn't insert the tank the whole way right at the start.

I'm not sure, but I'll keep trying. I really like the tanks.

I am sorry that I assumed common sense. That's my mistake and I apologize.

I assumed that if you or leann had a full tank that leaked into the atty and down the sides of the battery you wouldn't hold it horizontally so the juice could run towards the air intakes of the tank cart and then suck it into you mouth.

And yes, if you remove the chads from the tank it will in almost every instance leak; that was not a scenario discussed here so I made no comment about it.

Assuming that you have not removed the chad from the tank cart, or modified the ego-t in any other way, it appears the reason for tanks leaking juice into the atty involves the wick. The wick isn't large enough and/or not attached properly and therefore is letting the juice run and flood the atty. If you are having this problem, I would contact the vendor and take advantage of the warranty.

cheers,

Sounds like you're wicking the juice too fast. The tanks work on neg pressure, so as you pull air through the system, juice is forced to the heating element. If you pull air too fast, too much juice get there, the stuff that isn't vaporized falls to the battery connection.

I posted a video in this link (the second) that might help explain how to overcome the wicking and leaking issues.

I found that if you turn the cone upside down e-juice will flow out of the atty and run down the side. Maybe it was the way you carryed it. I lay it on the side all the time and have no leaks, but if it was upside down it might.

There have been multiple claims of leaking tanks, even without the chads removed, and yes, with the tanks fully inserted onto the needle. And by seasoned veterans. Mostly it seems to happen on the last 1/4 tank, and I also had this happen yesterday on a tank that worked perfectly, until yesterday when it dumped the last 1/4 of a tank into the atty. These things certainly appear to have inconsistent problems with leaking (when assembled correctly), as I have refilled that same tank and used it thru the entire tank with no leakage!

My point is, the juice cannot go directly from the tank into the mouthpiece without some sort of defective tank cartridge, or the juice would have to be in the atty (flooded by over priming or leaking tank) and then when held horizontally the juice would flow from the atty into the mouthpiece.

e!

I do not dispute a few have had leaking problems with their ego-t atties and tank carts. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I have 3 tank atties and 10 tank carts and have done everything I can to get them to leak with no avail; I've been using this system for over 3 weeks exclusively and it has worked flawlessly.

There is a post with pictures showing the wick problem (sorry, can't remember where it's located) as I discussed in my previous post which gives the best hypothesis for the leaking. Again, if the scenario is similar to what happened to leann based on her comments in the first post of this thread, I would contact the vendor directly to discuss and see if it can returned for replacement.

cheers,
