Ego-C Never again!!!!

[cammy uk]

Hi all

Well i decided to change from Dual cartos and splashed out on a new 'nado. £70 down the drain!. the first atty lasted 13days then died. the second had a sickly,harsh taste to it so im now on my 3rd in 3 weeks. ive been using this atty since sunday night,was going great until this morning, now every second draw is burning my throat to hell!.

ive read through various posts, tried dried burning to no avail. to say i'm p****d night now is an understatement

[cammy uk]

Dont get me wrong, the product is top quality. its the bloody inconsistencies in the atomizers.

[cyborg]

Sorry to see you are having problems.
Is it the eGo C you are using? If so are you letting the Tanks run completely dry as they don’t have a reservoir of liquid in the atty like the T Tanks.

[cammy uk]

yeah its the ego-c tank is full with a small air gap. ive tried dry drawing as well but, second puff the harshness is back

[cyborg]

Sorry I cant offer more help as I only got the C attys to use while driving as I normally DD so I haven’t really used them a lot yet.
I am sure someone will be along to help.

I would get a paperclip and push the wick down 1mm at a time.. Sounds like the wick is too high.

Hi cammy 
sorry to hear you're not having much success with your -C atties so far; the norm is for them to be trouble-free so I would strongly suggest that you have a chat with the very helpful Customer Services right away and see what they suggest...
whilst the forum can give you lots of tips, hints and suchlike to try out, it sounds as if your atties are not wicking well and this would be the exception rather than the rule...
CS will help you out I'm sure and it may avoid a few more days frustration for you...

hi puffer

thing is mate i didn't get it from the website but a TW retailer in Glasgow. don't know if that makes a difference.

Hi cammy


I would take it back to the shop where you bought it and explain to them the problem,   not sure what their warranty policy is with their kits,  you would have to ask them. Hope you can get it sorted.

[Knoton]

I am very absentminded hm.. did I spell that right... and keep forgetting to fill up my C before it runs dry.
So I get that burnt taste at least once a day. With the old Tornado T Atty that would kill it and make it unusable.
With the c-atty I just refil take a draw or two on it and the burnt taste is gone!?
So to me it really sounds as you have got bad atomizer heads for your C.
They really should not behave like that.
I hope that shop gonna switch them for you so you will have the chance to come to love the c as much as I do.
With the c I feel I can relax and just vape, not having to check it all the time to not kill it

Hi Cammy sorry to hear that but i have had no problem and love the eGo-c have you been using the hard plastic or soft plastic caps ? also try adjusting the tank up and down this allows for more fluid to the atomizer let me know how you get on

[cammy uk]

tried it all, just loaded a tank with ry4, left a gap (5drops worth) im on my 4th draw and the harshness is back. i bought the kit from djbazx, great wee shop but its a 3hr round trip. i have a choice of either soldiering on and buying new atties or just binning the ego.

[NetSyphon]

I was thinking the same thing, the atomizers suck, but you know what it was?  PEG-400.  Absolutely do not use PEG liquid in these things.. It tastes horrible and pretty much means you gotta take your atomizer apart and burn/soak it to get the nasty taste out.  Going with like a 80/20 PG/VG mix seems to work really well, this thing vapes like a beast and aside from going through about 2 tanks a day and a slight learning curve with priming, its pretty amazing (I have finally given up my 901).  The Herculian range is an amazing Cape, havent had much luck with the patriot range except for the RY4.

Really wish I would have known that PEG is so nasty with the 510/ego-c.  Not sure why!

[chubbs]

i was getting the same problem. i just draw alot harder than normal now..sorted

[cammy uk]

changed the atty(again) and have ordered some more. i will solve this problem

[G1enn]

Hi clammy
I have experienced the same as you. I to have binned 2 attys in 2 weeks because of burnt taste. I also damaged a third getting it out of the wrapping lol. Just ordered some more, hopefully be here tomorrow. I thought using one atty a week was acceptable didn't relise people were getting a lot longer life span out of them. I base it on £4 for a atty and say £15 for juice a week that's a lot better than £49 for analogs a week. Just my opinion

[Fastvape]

I'm pretty much through with the whole ego tank thing. The only one that was really good was the mega tank atty and even that...
Anyway the tornado with the dual coil tank and plinth., the small tank, is the way to go. It looks pro and it works a million times better than the ego tanks hoping they wick right and don't leak, it's silly.

[RichJr]

I just can't handle the immense TH from the duel coils all the time. That and they drain batteries much faster. The flavor is incredible and the vapor is darn good tho. Not for everyone I guess I'm back on my C mostly now.

[Fastvape]

Yeah they have more throat hit for sure. Could always lower the nic. I vape pretty low.

Sounds like me lol.  I've gone through 2 atties in 2 weeks, on my third now and it's been cranky with me already on the fourth day of using it.  I'm pretty sure the burning is the wick not contacting the coil because that's the problem with mine.  I ordered some silica rope so I can replace my slowly disintegrating wick so I don't have to go through my last 2 new atties.  I open the atty heads up to clean them, probably not a good idea anymore...try just blowing the juice out and letting your atty sit every night when not in use to drain, and maybe pushing the wick down a bit.  If that doesn't help, maybe consider replacing the wick.  I flipped the wick (top side to down) and it solved my problem so I hope it lasts long enough until I get my silica rope.

alas after buying a new strip of atties, 3 out of 5 were burning straight away so its been binned. until the quality control has been sorted the C will join the rest of my duff gear.

[RichJr]

Sorry to hear you can't get it working. I've just swapped my C atomizer after 3 months of heavy use. The new atomizer has been going for a couple days no problem. I love my C and wish there wasn't a problem with some as its a beautiful kit.

Cammy, you need to contact customer service and either get your money back or a new strip.   I am SO SORRY to hear this!

[SMOKEYMASTER]

I can guarantee that someone is building a better mouse trap!

[cammy uk]

ive kept all my atties, good and duff so might just send them to tw with a letter of complaint

[terrier]

Hi Guys,

which atty are you on about the LR1.8 or the regular 2.3

which one is supplied with a new kit?

terrier,

[Kenneth131]

I have both the LR and Normal attys for the C and I can tell you the LR's make a difference.

The LRs are a much lighter draw. I think this is because they burn hotter so more vapour is produced without drawing hard on it.

With these i have not experienced the "Hard Draw" that is so associated with the normal ones.

The flavour is different but as long as these are primed correctly and kept wet you wont get a burnt taste.

The nicotine hit is more intense with these so you would maybe need to dilute your regular mix if using these all the time but your mileage may vary. I think again this is down to the coil freeing up more nicotine in the liquid by heating up hotter.

This said the heat from the cone is actually less intense with these LR attys compared to the normal ones which get my stainless ego c quite hot after a bit of use.

maybe worth a try. 

[RichJr]

Low resistance atomizers burn hotter vaporizing more juice faster. Shorter draw = les resistance. Since nicotine in our mixes is a weight to volume ratio, the higher speed juice is vaped with LR gives us more nicotine in less time. also more vapor and more hit.

[Kenneth131]

lol thats what I was trying to say thanks rtsjr

[RichJr]

I thought you said it well. I was just confirming you were right.
