Anyone Drip In Ego C?

[Mike]

After playing around with the heating coils and taking off the spike, it seems like it could make for a good dripper. I know there are all kinds of drip tips out there and I'm thinking that the one's for eGo type A will fit. Does anyone here do this, and if so can you recomend a good drip tip?

I picked this up from Indy Vapor Shop. They also have LR heating coils. Coupon code: vfforum . 5 Attys and drip tip for $29.96 shipping included. There's no need to tamper with the attys to use this drip tip. It comes in handy when you don't want to fill a tank. Type A is what you want for eGo C.

Very creative idea Mike, but kinda negates the idea of having a tank atty. How does it work?

[Mike]

It works great. Just like dripping in anything else. The drips will find it's way down to the heating coil through the spaces that the vapor would come out if the tank were in or it will go into the spike tube. No matter how you drip into it the juice will reach the coil.

I have a couple attys that I removed the spike and the metal wick fell out. It won't wick properly without that when the tank is in. Now I've got use out of those attys.

Don't get me wrong, I like the tank and use it all the time but It having a drip tip makes it much easier when I'm DIYing with so many different flavors and such. Also with the spike removed and all wicking material out I can go from flavor to flavor with very little remnace of the old flavor.

I had a couple attys that were a little clogged and not producing as much vapor.

Dry burn it. Take a small utensil (I use a laptop repair tiny screwdriver) and pry the spike from the atty body. Insert body back onto holding cup and place cone as usual. Hit the buttton for 3-5 seconds and watch for the smoke. Blow the smoke away, repeat until you see the red glow all across the coil. You will now have grey ash on the coil which is the burned away VG juice residue. I use a trimmed back flux brush (.50 at local hardware) to brush away the residue. Atty will come back to life and is now good to go.

VG juice and sugary flavors are hard on the Ego C. I have great luck with my one and only menthol, as it burns real clean. PG juices tend to ignite quicker and atty will last longer between dry burns. Atty eraser is an absolute must for me and the Ego C. Don't even bother with atties anymore and test all juices through the C tank. I have one tank filled with atty eraser and run it following dry burns and flavor changes.

** this worked great at the atty was better and hotter and cleaner than ever BUT I had wicking problems after I put it back together. A tiny metal wick sits in the spike tube and I think because it was lost was the reason for wicking problems. Or mabey because of the wicking material around the coil was removed. Don't Know, Don't care. It's a great dripping atty.

Like I said before, You don't have to do this to drip. You can leave it as is and drip into it whenever and go back the the tank anytime you want. I don't see the need for "atty eraser". Even with alot of flavor changes the old flavor seems to fade quickly. I do think that VG juice is harder for the C to wick when using the tank.
