The Official Ego-C Leak Thread

[Myk]

No problem here either. I've been using 2 eGo-C's exclusively and chronically over most of the last 3 months and 2 more added a couple weeks ago.

I can't say I've never had a problem but what I had was minor. I paid attention to what was going on, changed what I was doing to cause the problem and no more problem.
I have come to the conclusion that the claims of leaking are from people who haven't used them long and didn't care to learn how to use them, people who bought fakes and people who haven't used them at all but are parroting what they've read somewhere.

Yes if you've flooded an eGo-C by sucking too hard, even if that is caused by a plugged atty, you can expect liquid to find its way out one way or another and that's whether it's laid down or upright.
If you never take it apart and dry the parts you can eventually expect some seepage.
If you manage to melt the tank (I still can't figure out how people do that unless they're trying) that would create a leak.
This is all user error and could all be helped if people would stop exaggerating what is going on and blaming the tool.

One thing that is not user error are bad attys that come out of adjustment which can lead to flooding or dry hits. That can also be fixed.

2 1/2 months with the ego-c and the only leaks I had were due to excessive heat, I work in a very hot kitchen, and even then the leakage was a small amount. I seemed to get more leaks with the silicon end caps. The hard plastic end caps worked best for me.

I wasn't a a fan of the silicone end caps. Seems to me like the juice wouldn't wick well when I used them. Maybe too good of a seal. Tho it's all going to be moot after tomorrow (I hope). Got a supply of CE3 BC clearos coming in.

This is a tip for everyone out there. I bought my mom the ego-c system and she kept complaining of leaks. I had to think what was SHE doing to cause this. She told me nothing, and I knew that something she was doing was causing it, because even though I never used the ego-c system I know that it shouldn't leak like a sieve. I finally found out what she was doing! I saw here in the bathroom running water into the cone with the atty in it. I asked her WTF are you doing. She was "cleaning" it. I shook my head in disappointment. I explained to her that if she wants to clean the cone to take the atty out and wash out the cone, then completely dry it. These attys were not meant to have water run through them. Every since she stopped running water through them, she hasn't had a leak. This is just a tip out there for those that may be doing this and get leaking.

I have not had any leaking at all since I am pushing the tank all the way down while twisting. By the way, the tanks last a long time. I thought I would have to replace them often but clean them before each refill and still using tanks I got about a month and a half ago. I have not had to replace the atomizer cartridge in either of the two I have as yet.

If you're using tanks, I fixed the leaking problem by buying silicone tank caps. They are really cheap and I haven't had one leak again.

 

[JUDGMENT AFFIRMED]

I'm very happy with my Joyetech ego-c; day 68 smoke-free, no leaks and no problems. Though for the last 35 days i have switched back and forth with a Vision clearomizer.
