The mail FINALLY came!

[Scoper50]

Well, after waiting for what seemed like forever (It's only been 3 days), the mail carrier finally dropped off the package containing my first real system. It's an eGo c twist. I was so excited that I found my hands actually shaking as I was opening the package. I haven't been this excited for something in a long time. With my order I ordered a sample pack from wordupecigs.com. Immediately I screwed on an atty (now I realize I should have bought more than one), and started dripping to test all my flavors. I think all of them are pretty decent. Nothing that I want to throw in the trash. I'm pretty impressed with this little device. I'm used to the non existent throat hit with the blu cig, so this was an eye opener. I found that at about 3.6-3.8 volts I really get a nice satisfying throat hit, and I'm using 100% VG. I can't imagine what a PG/VG mix is like. I'll be buying more sample bottles soon to find out.

I do have a couple questions though. Between flavors I was just removing the atomizer and blowing it out. I didn't seem to be getting any flavor overlap, but I was wondering if that's the proper way to do it. Also how often should I do a proper cleaning? Can I just use distilled water?

Second, I also have a T3 Clearomizer that I haven't used yet. I'm still trying to decide on a liquid to use in it. But it just dawned on me that I have no idea how to properly clean it. I'm assuming I would have to clean it between flavors right? If anybody could give me some insight on this, I'd appreciate it.

I've heard the best way to clean the palette is to drip non flavored juices between sampling. Is the clearomizer you got with the kit rebuildable?

Yay for vape mail! Awesome that you like your kit. Definitely get more atomizers. Better safe than sorry.

To clean I usually just blow them out and once a week (or sometimes sooner if I get a strong flavor) I drop the atty in vodka and swish around then let it dry over night. Clean and no worries.

Yes, in fact I ordered a replacement head with it. I've read that I can clean the tank itself out by running it under warm water from the faucet, but I would assume that the wick in the head would be somewhat saturated in liquid. If I want to change flavors, how would I clean the head out?

 

[Leal]

Just run the head under water too and let it dry. I let mine dry overnight but I don't know if that long is necessary. I don't always clean them between flavor changes. If I go from vanilla to apple pie I just let the flavors blend. Yes, yes I am lazy.

usually i just keep going for a couple rounds till the new flavor comes through, the best way to really clean is soak em in a little vodka for a while then rinse and let dry, but i only do this when im not going to use it for a while.

Lazy here too!!! If the flavors are similar or seem like they would mix well, I just add the new flavor on top of the old. Stronger flavors will end up overpowering anyway. If I put something in my carto tank and get sick of it or don't like it, I just cover it with some cinnamon....works everytime!

I'm still getting the hang of my drip atty, but I have some t3's and they look to be the easiest to clean out of all the others i've seen.
I use 80proof vodka, but looking to pick up some grain alcohol for future cleaning.

BTW this nifty little tool effectively cleans everything I throw at it with a 510 thread:

I dont bother cleaning ,just add the juice,so what if a tiny few drops mix with another flavour and this way you dont waste any juice,i just remove the mouth tip and wipe the inside of the cone with tissue paper and the mouth piece so i get a nice dry tight fit.Only thing you need to really clean are the the coil and wicks when they gunk up

I just blow out between flavors, particularly if very different flavor is next. You will get buildup and need to clean. Generally when draw or vapor production fall off. Want 2 Vape sells "Atty Refresher" that works well for changing flavors.

Definitely need a few more atty's , I have about 5 as backups cuz you never know when they may die or you could just get a dud... The eGo T is a great little set up, I have been very pleased with mine. Prepare to spend mucho dinero on juice!
