Tank problems

[Erin.R]

Hi everyone,

I have been vaping for a year. I started out with blu and I actually liked it for my first ecig but I still smoked occasionally. I used it for about 10 months until I started learning more about the different kinds of ecigs and eliquids. I am currently using Halo with Ms. T's juice. I have tried many other vendors for juice and have decided that I am going to stick with Ms. T's from here on out. I really like the Halo batteries with her juice, I get a lot of vapor and tons of flavor.

I just bought a ego tank and do not like it at all. When I got it I tried coffee from Ms.t in it and after 1 puff it tasted burnt. I have read (on FB) that some people use different things to water down her juices because they are too thick for the tanks. I don't want to loose flavor but I am not sure what else to do. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
I am also considering buying a VV. I don't know a lot about them though. Any thoughts on them?

Also I have to say I am so glad I found this forum and wish I would have found it sooner.

I was told when I bought mine that I should buy e-liquid with more PG than VG for the tanks. I think it was something like 80/20 or 70/30? I'm new with the ego tank but I do remember them telling me that.

You might think about moving away from the atty/tank combo and replace them with cartomizers. These would be fine for your eGo battery.

the ego tanks suck simply put if you want a tank get a chibi tank those actually work

i agree...ego tank system suck....flooding is my prob. and attys seem to only last a couple days. ive tried LR, style A and style B. carto is way better, but again only last 2 days.

I'm a little confused.
Are you saying that you are using an eGo-T atty on this bat?

How's that working out for you?!?

Hi Erin! I do not think that Ms. T. will customize the VG/PG part. I believe it says on her website that she does not disclose what the formula is but it is more VG than PG. There are a lot of good systems that will work for those juices. I liked the resurrectors myself on an Ego (or other LR carto). you could drop a drop or two of distilled water into the tank to thin it out a little bit, but if you thin it out too much then they may leak.

VV is awesome! I love my Lavatube. I have found with Ms. T juice that it tastes a lot better at a lower voltage. I usually dont go above about 3.7 with her stuff because it starts to lose flavor.

I second the idea to move away from the ego tanks. I started with an ego tank and would be smoking instead of vaping if I didnt find cartomizers.

Sorry TJ, first post may have been confusing. I use the Gs with the G6 carts, which I love but I wanted to try some different set ups. I just bought an ego-t and would like to be able to use it without it tasting burnt.

Thanks everyone. I kind of figured I made a mistake buying a tank system. I will try cartomizers instead, thank you bigtiime I will give those a try, I have heard good things about madvapes on here.

Thats good to know dotma, I was thinking about the lavatube.

Cartos are great, and you can later upgrade to a carto tank if you want increased juice capacity. Those tanks are nothing like the Ego-T tanks, they work really well.

The good news is that even if you never use the included tank and atomizer, you still have an Ego, which is a good, solid unit and performs great with, say, Boge LR 2 ohm cartomizers.

Well if you want to use a tank with your eGo-T, can I suggest you try a real tank on it.
Ya I know, it looks like a lamp post

Oh and here is a better price on the "L-Rider" (Lava Tube) PV.

I did have leaking issues with my ego-t at first but after getting the silicone end caps for the tank and using a 50/50 pg/vg mixture I dont have any more probs. I am, however, about to swith to VV as that seems to be the "cats meow" if you will.

 

[Erin.R]

Tj, is that a DCT tank. Aquavapor (really nice company) sent me one for free along with a few other things to try. I tried the DCT ( that's what its called on their site) with Ms. Ts juice and it was really good for 2 hits then it tasted burnt. I thought maybe the juice was too thick to get through that little hole fast enough. Not sure though just a guess. So I cleaned it out and am going to try a thinner liquid in it.

Dct just means dual coil tank. The cartomizer inside has two coils instead of one. Make sure that you're filling the carto with juice before you start to use it. If you're using a thicker juice, you can use a dremel to put a slot into it. I had to do that with bobas bounty because it is so thick, to feed the carto. I'd also recommend a syringe to fill the carto from the bottom to make sure it's been completely filled.

 

[GiMp LEg DoNKey]

Erin...maybe you could try punching a little larger hole in the cart to get some more juice in there.

 

[Erin.R]

I never though of that. The only juices I seem to like are the thicker ones so I will for sure try using the dremel to make the whole a little bigger.I did like that tube thingy(whats it called...lol). Thank you so much!

 

[tj99959]

You can always add a couple of drops of water to thin the juice, and yes the holes in the carto need to be big enough to accommodate whatever juice you use.
That is a single coil carto tank in the pic. (2ohm Boge carto in it)

Just be careful not to go too deep or you could get a leak. There are videos on youtube that show you how to do it.
