Got mine yesterday and at first I thought meh...
Preperation
I got rid of the God awful smelly primer by blowing it out. I then added 3 drops of PG directly to the coil by dripping on the side into the slit, and vaped away, yuck. When it got a little on the dry side, I dropped a couple of drops directly onto the "piercer" and once again vaped it. The primer was vaped through
Took a fresh cart and inserted it in atty to pierce atty, and spun it one revolution. Filled a tank using syringe and added 3 drops from battery hole. I then placed the tank on the atty and vaped away. 2-3 drags brought the flavour around.
Flavour was nothing to write home about nor was the TH albeit the vapour production was great, and the atty would not provide 3 successive hits, 2.5 at best. An hour into though, oh la la, it started performing and this thing is blowing me away. The litmus test 5 successive hits without giving up the beat. Very good taste, great vapour and decent TH. I tank lasts em the best part of 3 hrs. This was on a fresh 900 eGo batt (brand new).
I'm using my own RY4 which is 100% VG diluted by 20% with distilled H2O. I am impressed but only if these things will last. No leaks or foul taste after initial work through. Black carts are also said to be better, that is what I acquired so I do not know.
IMO you shouldn't give a review after 1 day. Mine performed PERFECT... for 3-4 days. Then the atty problems start. Burnt taste, flooding, loss of taste, hard draw. The whole shazamm.
I've bought a total of 6 spare atty's, with the two that came with the kit, I had 8 attys. I'm down to 4. I purchased the unit Feb.8. The first two attys I probably shouldn't have thrown away, but I could not get a decent draw out of one (even after blowing all the juice out), and the second lost all vapor production after cleaning. Again that was probably my fault.
Now, since then I've read hours worth of posts in regards to the Tank atomizer. I've read how to correctly clean them etc etc.
The next two attys, after being used for less than 24h, developed this NASTY burnt taste. Only remedy I found was to keep the coil wet, but I refuse to drop a couple of drops into the atomizer every 3minutes or so. Since then I read to push the wick further down, and that has helped a little, however, that has lead to flooding. Since I pushed down the wick those two atomizer both flood and go through a cartridge in record time. So there go two more attys.
Right now, I'm using a brand new atty, and everything is perfect. Good Draw, great vapor, great TH, & decent taste. But given my past experiences I know this won't last. I have lots of juice, so I'm trying to only us PG based juice to see if that helps, but again, some of my favorite juices are VG based.
I just don't know what to do anymore, $13 for an atomizer that works not even a whole day is ridiculous. Keep in mind I am a newb, however, I've spent countless hours on this forum, watching videos on youtube, watching VaporTV and ElixirTV and what not. A lot of other newbies will never even know about this forum, or read as much, simply because they don't have the time.
I did stop smoking analogs completely thanks to the eGO-Tank, or I should say thanks to my wife, but the constant atomizer problems made me spent more money to buy mods, different atomizers, connectors, direct drip tips. ETC ETC.
The tank is great to go out with if you pop in a new atomizer, but it can't be an all day PV. There are over 2,000 hits on google,on your website alone (ECF) when typing in " site:e-cigarette-forum.com burnt taste, ego t". That ought to tell the manufacturers something.
I am sorry this is so long, but I had to express my frustration about the burnt taste & flooding atomizer of the eGO-T.
*If it makes a difference I purchased my 5 pack of attys from Valley Vapor, 2 of which developed that burnt taste after less than 24hours of use. Supposedly, members of ECF who have purchased their attys from Cignot have not reported any problems. But again, I will have to spent $13 to find out myself.
I can't wait for my Infinity and ProVari to arrive, then I will save up some more money and buy a Reo.
All in all I'm happy I started vaping but feel a little let down about the quality of the atomizers.
