The perfect pg/vg blend for Ego-T

[mikeinbc]

I've been vaping and off analogs for a week. Trying to find the perfect blend of pg/vg. I've noticed that 50/50 is a good ratio for the Ego-T. It seems to be a good balance of TH, vapor, and no leaks. BUT the vg is a little too much for me. Too sweet for my taste and too thick for my lungs. 100% pg is great for taste, TH, and lacks the vg lung coating. BUT it causes severe tank leaking. (Yes i follow the tips: slow draws, premade pinhole, soft caps). At this point, the magic number must be somewhere in between. Any thoughts and experience?

This may help.

70/30 pg/vg was the sweet spot for me. It's a standard mix for many juice suppliers. Backwoods Brew is one supplier that offers mostly 70/30. Refilling the tank when it's half empty is a good leak prevention technique. As it approaches empty, it will tend to leak more.

Should have added, I personally don't use the tanks, but as Mindfield states in a couple of his reviews, 80/20 seems to work well, and perhaps even a couple drops of distilled water to ensure good wicking.

For what it's worth, I actually find the soft caps caused more leaking problems than the plastic hard ones...

And honestly, maybe you need to look beyond the tanks. I liked them, for a while. It took me about 5-7 atomizers before I "quit" the tank. Too many issues.

Get the new ego-c ..... No more leaking lots of taste great vape and at 70/30 pg/vg for me.
Good luck!!!!

i have found that any of my mixes in between 70/30 and 80/20 dont leak. but i have only ever had it leak on me once, and that was because i was hitting it like it owed me money.. i only use my tanks now for my morning high nic fix and use a vision for my normal vaping....

I didn't like tanks for the longest time because they clog eventually . You can't really use a dark liquid in them and the vap is a bit weak . That being said I did buy an ego- c and it seems to work ok accept that the changable wicks could be a bit cheaper but as with any tank you need to give it time between hits for it to wick even with the 80/20 mix that I use . 80/20 is a good mix for anything that has filler in it such as an ego mega dual coil cartomizer which is my fav . 70/30 for a tank it fine almost the same as 80/20 either way give it time to wick and cool down between hits . 50/50 to me isn't something I would use it is just too thick for what I am using . To me that mix is for those who like to drip .

I just want to qualify my other post a bit . I started using an 80/20 mix when I was using an ego mega atomizer with cartridge because with a 70/30 mix I was getting dry hits when the cartridge was still half full . 80/20 worked good but I would not leave it standing on my desktop for a long period with a cartridge on it with a lot of juice it in it would eventually leak out . Even a 70/30 mix if left long enough would probably leak a bit . Cartomizers are much better as far as that goes they don't really leak like that . A tank on the other hand has a small wick and not only that but air must pass up through the wick into the cartridge to relive the suction that is created as the juice is used up . For air to rise through a thicker liquid would not be as easy as with a thinner liquid . Too thin and any ecig would probably leak . I have not had many or any issues using an 80/20 mix with a tank but then again I don't leave it standing up for a long time I usually leave any ecig laying on a paper tower over night except maybe a cartomizer . That is just to be on the safe side .

As soon as a get my DIY supplies in, I will experiment with 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40 pg/vg blends. I will post with results.

I would use a slightly higher nic level with a tank system . A tank does not give you the clouds of vapor that a Dual coil mega cartomizer would but with a slightly higher nic level it can satisfy your urges and you might be better of since a tank would not drain the battery as fast .

I use a 70/30 PG/VG mix with my LR Tank atty, no problems with leaking or wicking properly ...

Let me tell you a story about a man name Jed, oooops wrong story.

Prior to the common 70/30, juices were either PG or VG. Through trial and error from the DIY crowd, most juices are now 70/30 from vendors. Why re-invent the wheel? For 100% VG users, dilute 15-20% with distilled water, of course folks can experiment and see if a square wheel will run smoothly

I would start out with as little as 10% and work from there. I diluted 5 mL of AVE Gorilla Juice with 1 mL distilled water (~17%) and it had a much lower viscosity than a 100% PG liquid. Good thing I had a half empty 30 mL bottle to mix it into

Have to disagree with you. I think good vaping ratios are equipment dependent. The 70/30 ratio is a general mass produced ratio used by vendors to satisfy a majority of people. No custom content there. If we didn't reinvent the wheel, you'd be driving down the road in an actual Beverly Hillbillies jalopy.

Perhaps... but the eGo T was designed with 70/30 in mind, as well as a few others.

In case you haven't come across it yet, we are nothing more than a bunch of Guinea Pigs chatting here for the Chinese

lol... quite true, we get to test out all there stuff and pay for it while feeding them the problems they need to address to complete the product.
