Hey Ego-C users! Has anyone had issues with wicks being a tad too long or short? How much wick do you guys like touching the coil? Do you even let it make contact? Has anyone found a suitable replacement for damaged/broken wicks? And if so, how do you place them in the spike? Rubbing alcohol, boiling, or just running under water to clean your wick/spike? After cleaning do you feel that they have to be broken in again or do they work pretty well out of the gates? Do you experience a loss of flavor after cleaning your attys? Just experimenting with some of my older/dying atties and seeing if I can play around with them some more. I have been just tossing and replacing after they give, but maybe someone knows of some other things.

I love my attys, but carts are much more convienient. I use LR attys on my Ego-C and the taste and throat hit are excellent, but I love carts for just sitting and hitting it hard as well. The carts tend to give me less flavor, but in my opinion last a bit longer. ATtys can get wrecked with just a few days of a 20-50% vg juice in my experience. I like the EMDCC's a lot, Boge carts are excellent and if you get the LR's the flavor is just about on par with an atty. Gotta try them ALL! Pick whichever you feel is best for the occasion, I like having both on hand just for fun-sake. Good luck in your search. Lots of fun to choose from!

I have grown to love the weird looks I get when filling in public. I was recently on a greyhound traveling and filled up my Ego-C tanks and man o man did I get some strange looks. I used to donate plasma so I have a pretty decent scar on my right arm from the 17 guage needle they use, and I love telling people I shoot up whisky/heroin/anything that I can make up on the spot. I usually let that sit for about a minute and then tell them it's just nicotine and I am a professional chemist testing a new product I love greyhounds and barber shops because you can be whoever you want for the time. Provari is a solid choice from what I hear! Congrats on making the step to MODS! A big step into ensuring your life is long and healthy. Just be sure to treat it like a woman and you will be fine.

Ego-C will do it for ya. That is all.

Used blu for about 8 months. It was great for parties, and just to kill some urge, but I still frequently smoked analogs. I didn't know they were 510 compatible, that is good news It's nice to know if I am ever in a huge pinch I can run down to grab some.

I will be sure to share recipes, assuming I find any that are good lol. Thank you all for your help. I can't wait to start mixing and hopefully create the first nicotine sentient being! IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE AHAHAHAHHAAH!!!

I'll check out tractor supply, something just doesnt sem right about using tractor supplies in my tasties Ill pick up some cotton candy and a few more flavors... I really need a solid tobacco...of course the best is to mscerate your own....but flavor will work. I just need the undertone of tobacco, not a forfront flavor. Oh the possibilities PS, I will cut the 100 to 50 immediately, and then to 24 very quickly. Childrun in the home...gotta be real careful. It all stays in my safe, in my locked room, high on a shelf, but yet something crazy terrible could happen and it is simply safer to cut it to 48 asap, and then 24 very quickly.

ANyone have suggestions for a good sweetner?

Hey guys, I want to get started with a LITTLE DIY. I do not want to go 1000% balls deep quite yet, but I do need to be able to sweeten some of my liquids, make some of them...something else. (EX. I have a caramel that will kill an ox with throat hit and horrible taste, I would like to be able to experiement/learn to fix that...I have 30 mL of that so...) I am a menthol addict, and I recently found my all day vape in a house methol that is sweet. I vape this stuff like candy and have crushed 30 mL in about 4 days of 24mg/ml strenght, along with my others that I switch hit, cinnacide/ultimate vanilla/Nuport/candy flavors of misc. I vape 24mg. I need a few things I know, and I know you guys know of a lot of things I need that I don't have any idea about...so here goes my starting list, please add insight, additional things to purchase, and where to purchase said items from. 1. Flavorings. (no idea where the suggested supplier would be, any suggestions? Loranns seems to be a favorite but I have a hard time finding one that seems decent.) a. Menthol b. Caramel c. Vanilla d. Tobacco f. Cotton Candy/Sweetener of some type. 2. PG (about 5 oz to start?) 3. VG (about 5oz to start?) I have rubber gloves/syringes/some bottles, 5ml and used 30ml ones, which should be plenty for my little mixing thing I want to do...\ Thoughts tips and tricks are appreciated, I am still getting aquainted with the threads in the forum, please bear with me as I learn. Thanks in advance guys.

I have found myself moving to the LR attys, but of course it depends on the juice. I try it with both SR and LR attys and decide which I like better. The hardest part for me has been breaking in all these attys...I rotate a lot of attys and some aren't even broken in fully (or at least don't taste quite right) after two weeks... I am currently feverishly breaking in a new LR for my Tob Menthol from tastyvapor. I want this juice to be PERFECT so terribly...Just not quite there yet. I have found one of my main staple juices in menthol so far, but really want to make this one work. This is my first official 80/20 PG/VG juice now. I think everything else has been 100%PG, this is taking a while to break in and I am still not sure of it. Does VG lower the taste/throat hit or is it just my imagination? I am still working on the whole PG/VG relationship...we're in an open relationship right now and I am afraid to commit, she's still not talking to me. P.S. Atomic Cinnacide is incredible. I load that into a red tank and it just screams Awesome, (Along with the taste!)

I have never informed anyone that I smoke unless it was a friend/ someone who doesn't really care. No one needs to know of my habits (They don't ask how often you clip your toenails do they?). Insurance companies have never asked, and if they did I wouldn't tell them. No doctor knows that I used to smoke, and now that I don't it is not a problem. I ingest nicotine, and studies have been done that range from it being as cancerous as uranium, to no health risks; from it being as addictive as heroin to the level of coffee (I don't buy that one. It is definitly stronger than coffee...) Without evidence that Nicotine is alone bad for your health. I do not consider it smoking. There are 7,000+ chemicals. 250+ of which have been found to be harmful, and 70+ which can cause cancer. Considering they consider a smoker as ingesting 70+ cancerous toxins, and I ingest only one POSSIBLE toxin, they cannot compare the two. If they don't have provisions for that distinction, I make my own. This outlook is of course only for use by those of us with loose morals when dealing with healthcare. I do my dangedest not to lie, but in this situation. I make an exception.

Thanks for the smile and giggles

Has anyone with an Ego-C tried any 100% VG juices yet? How does the tank/atty fair? I will be picking up some regardless because I want to try Bobas bounty and RY4 from Backwoods. Maybe I WILL need to learn to drip even with the Ego-C...

Some solid info is available here if you want: google.com/takeaction and http://www.ted.com/talks/defend_our_freedom_to_share_or_why_sopa_is_a_bad_idea.html The TED link is really good, go and sign the Google petetion, and call your local representatives and let them know how you feel about censoring the internet. Unbridled power in anyones hands is never good... Here is an easy way to check the support status of your representative: do both and let's raise hell to get this stuffed: For SOPA: projects.propublica.org/sopa/ For PIPA: projects.propublica.org/sopa/pipa#roll_call

Awesome! Proud of you! Keep off those dang butts!

Thanks guys, I will try that If my attys ever get bad. With so many flavors/attys in motion I don't know how long that will be Also Dragaa you are right. I have learned tons and tons and am just learning more every day! I love vaping and can't thank this community enough for the support and wealth of info.

I haven't visibly noticed the tank melting, but that is sure what it tastes like. I just changed out my atty and tank and it is fine, I will try to clean the atty, I don't particularily want to take it apart for fear of totaling the atty, I will just boil it and see how it works. Any suggestions on a good cartomizer to start with for experimentation for a newbie? (That is 510/Ego compatible)

IF you are bouncing back and forth between the T and the C I say go with the Ego-C. It is, from my knowledge, a large step forward for Joyetech. Less leaking issues, cheaper to operate than the Ego-T, and the battery for the C seems to be higher quality. Lasting from most reports about 30% longer (probably due to the new atty design). Ego-T uses a cone one piece atty, the Ego-C uses a three piece design for the atty. It allows you to change out the coil and wicking agent alone. (meaning the smallest piece that actually does the work. This piece can go bad in days or months depending, it is a game of chance They either break quickly, or they last almost forever. The ego C will save money over the long haul. But, it really doesn't matter as the batteries are interchangable and if you don't like one you can always switch using the same batteries. They are both quality so long as you go with Genuine Joyetech (I can't speak for knock offs, they might be good, but I am not wiling to risk it when I am trying to improve my health). There are many good vendors for Joye products. PM me if you want my personal recommendations.

I am very new to vaping, first month for sure, probably close to three weeks now. I have found that I am cheating about 2 butts a day. Getting to be less and less as I lean more and more on the E-Cig. Everytime I want a butt I just hit the E-Cig HARD, and I can usually crush the desire pretty quickly. Mostly because the taste is so darn good and I just want it to taste better, and the only way that happens is if I keep off the butts!

dragaa what is your boiling technique? I have simply been using rubbing alcohol and it seems to work fine. I haven't really found good info on a solid method for cleaning the Ego-C atty yet. I have considered diet coke, or boiling in water, but have not experiemented as of yet because I have enough attys in rotation where none of them have been used consistently enough to degrade yet. Any other suggestions for cleaning of the C atty or is boiling/alcohol the prescribed method you think? Calebw, I am a menthol guy who certainly needs his nicotine at this point. I use 24mg liquid right now. Do you have any websites you would suggest for purchasing DIY liquid supplies? Im going over to the DIY section right now to check into it as it sounds like a fun weekend hobby for when I have extra time on hand. Thanks again to everyone for helping out!

Ovale is a very respected supplier. High quality genuine Joyetech products and their elips has sold well. They do heavily brand OVALE on everything though, if you don't mind the branding they are excellent.

I am also a first time Ego user. (I consider myself a first time vaper, but I did use blu for about 4 months before going back to analogs.) Mine has been running great. About 3 weeks in and I have lost one atty due to twisting a tank on it too hard and twisting the spike out...for some reason when I put it back together it kept shorting out my battery or something. Just tossed it. I run though a lot of different flavors and have about 15 carts in motion with 5 cones currently. I love the system. Some things I have learned. 1. Make sure you pierce the tank fully and use a paperclip/bobby pin to remove the plastic piece you punched out as best you can. That can heat up and melt/taste nasty. 2. Long, light, easy draws are ABSOLUTELY KEY! You will always condensate on the tank, but lighter draws make them last longer and stay cleaner, and will allow you to keep fluid flowing. 3. They atty system is designed to have your suction help feed/wick to the atty. Do not just press the button unless you are dry burning for some reason. You need to have fluid moving for a solid vapor. 4. Make sure your tank is seated well. It should go without saying, but there is a learning cuve on this. (I am an offender here.) I love the Ego-C system, super cheap to operate and simple to use. Flavors are a breeze and the Vapor/taste/throat hit are all excellent. I am going to invest in some 510 compatible carts in the near future. Any suggestions from Veterans of the 510? Thanks to all who have helped Dragaa and by doing so myself. Much appreciate the wisdom you have all shared.

Has anyone else started to get some pretty decent burnt plastic taste from their carts? Maybe I am not changing often enough, but It seems to reason that so long as there is plenty of liquid around that there shouldn't be too much heat to melt the cart and get the plastic melting. Any thoughts?

I smoked Blu cigs for a while. Back on the original case before the new "Premium" upgrade. They use quality Johnson Creek juice, but the setup is automatic and designed for a typical analog smoker to be able to change over easily. Charge was very short compared to my ECO-C. They were not quality but for a smoker they are a great alternative and pretty cheap/easy to move to. A place to start for newbies. Haven't used their new carts but I assume they haven't improved greatly. Not a suggested product from this guy.

3.5 hours out. I will see what can be done in the future but I cannot make the 14th. I will have to come down to meet everyone and join in the fun. Just recently started vaping with the EGO-C but I am loving it.
