EGO MEGA DUAL COIL CARTOMISERS

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i noticed the battery connection on these is a bit strange sometimes, maybe that accounts for one of your duds?

i've had to rescrew them on to the batteries 3 or 4 times before I got a vape out of them, otherwise it would just do nothing.. as if i just had the atomiser in my hand and was trying to inhale

Samba, the ce3 clearomizer needs to have a cart condom on battery end when filling it until you put the little plug back in, as i found out like you, somebody has already posted it on this sight somewhere, otherwise I would of lobbed mine out as well, i lke them exept the bit of fluid that comes up above the reservoir, but its not too much hassle

Yeah I checked and triple checked the connection with a few batteries and the dud wouldn't work, I've fired off an email as it's now 3 faulty atties I've discovered. It's time to cut down and start thinking about quitting me thinks.

Thanks flids, I managed to fill it by keeping it horizontal, but it developed a burning taste not long after use, the wick was sticking out at the bottom, since the first fill, I can no longer see it. My main issue with the Clearos is that they look like crack pipes! :pac:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

maybe you should have a look at the genesis line or one of the repairable atties from the "ze bulli" thread?

70 odd euro up front for the line i think.. but if you'd bought it 4 months ago youd probably have saved that in atomisers anyway

At this point I think I'm ready to give up the nicotine, I've been vaping less and I've reduced my liquid to 6mg, that was the goal when I started out vaping and I'm going to stick to it.

I sent an email to solovapor and they came back with a few interesting facts, these and the Ego/Smoktech Mega DCs have a 7%-10% failure rate.
Turns out the Ego/Smoktech Mega DCC actually require a slightly higher voltage to ensure they work properly, that would explain why I had so many of them producing small amounts of vape.

Looks like you ran good on the order Digby and I was a victim of statistical variance!

Just opened my second last one and it has a burning taste I can't shake, that brings me up to a 60% failure rate, course I would have to get the 4 working one's first and then hit a string of duds :pac:

Still a good product though.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i hit 3 or 4 that didnt work properly. either no vape in 1 or the burnt taste in 2, that i manged to get rid of for a short time but came right back
the fourth I vaped a juice in that just wouldnt vape well and won't go away.
if you're stuck I can post 1 or 2 of them up to you.

Samba

Appreciate the offer but you're grand, I've loads of bits and bobs to keep me going, thanks.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

had my 510 to ego adapter connected to my battery and the echomiser.. and now the adapter is stuck into the echomiser and i can't manage to get it screwed out

pain in the balls, lol.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

801/302 drip tips arrived today, way better than the standard tips that come with the echomisers

Samba

Health Cabin having a sale - 20% off the Echos, $8 for a pack of 5 is a seriously tempting price and would go a long way towards softening the blow on their failure rate, though it tilts me when I fill one up and find out it's a dud, you end up wasting so much liquid, anyone using Halo liquids should avoid these imo, otherwise it could work out very costly!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

hrm, thats tempting

im liking these alot but still not 100% on them though... you do have to draw pretty hard on them to get a decent amount of vapour. and while it is good in terms of flavour, it does kinda make the inhaling more effort than it needs to be. i think the hard draw might be the new drip tip... it's got a very wide opening... i might try taking one of the standard tips with it and widening the hole


when my lavatube comes at the end of the year, I might just move back to regular sized cartos/atomisers.


==edit

also is it just me or do these things dry up srs fast?
I filled one about five hours ago and while it's stlll producing vapour and i'm getting nicotine it's a pretty shabby amount of vapour
