So many online reviews of Ego T's leaking, Wake Up Joyetech....

[TheAlternative]

The eGo-T has a steep learning curve, no doubt about that. Over the last two months of using mine I have learned there are two fail-points 99% of the time, and what to do about them. Once I figured this out I have not had trouble and really enjoy the convenience of the tanks. L/R Type B's BTW.

1. Cap of tank is wore out: I keep a spare silicone cap in my case if this is causing the leak.
2. Wick is out of place in needle: I clean my atties weekly, so the needle plate comes out easily in them now( I still have my two original atties now over two months old still in rotation). With needle-nose pliers I pull the plate out and push the wick up or down with a paper clip as needed.

Lastly it is not always practical to be ready to adjust the wick on the spot, so I have a spare SMOK mega dual-coil in my case to get me by till I'm back home or back at my desk at work if the wick needs adjustment.

So with maintenance the tank system works great, but as to OP yes Joyetech should really engineer how to make these work without the user going to these steps to use their product. Once eGo-C Type B's are released I'll be going with these.

The eGo-T is what kept me from going back to analogs long enough to learn what else is available.

Ditto for me so it sereved its purpose and led me to the Reo Grand and vaping heaven.

I got an eGo-T off the classies just for the passthrough batteries ..... never even tried the tanks.

I never had any trouble with my ego-t to speak of. I ran it for 4 or 5 months.

But, to answer the OPs implied question: What is joytech doing about it or what have they learned? They released the ego-C. There are several threads about the ego-c the search box can lead you to.

exactly, joyetech's ego-t production will fade out soon (probably) as soon as ego-c type b version will hit the market.

I've been using a Riva-T tank for about a week now and it hasn't leaked a drop and every hit has been the same. The atty and tank are all one unit and the coil sits in a ceramic cup it holds 2 ml and produces great flavor and vapor. They are half the price of the ego atty tanks too. The only supplier in the States that I know of is.

That's not the tank everyone is talking about. What you have there is a CE2 clearomizer, and they can be made to work extremely well, though with few exceptions (most notably the latest Vision clearos) they often need modding or tweaking to get them to work very well. Some work well out of the box though, but that is usually the exception rather than the rule for CE2s.

It isn't a ce2 clearomizer. This is designed different and doesn't need any tweaking or modding so far. It works very good and is pretty new. I haven't heard anything about them until I got this one. I only know a couple of people that have had one over two weeks so I don't think I left the opinion that everyone was talking about them.

That's definitely a CE2. In the picture from the link you provided I can see the wick below and the ceramic cup near the mouthpiece end. By definition that's a CE2 design. (If it's got a ceramic cup inside which the coil is mounted, through which the wick runs out through slots in said cup, and there's no filler, it's a CE2.) Some of them do work fairly well out of the box, particularly the larger ones. (Most recently the latest Visions I find have been working excellently.) I'm not sure what specific flavor of CE2 you've got there, but it's definitely a CE2.
