Egrip VT 1500mah

[SnapDragon NY]

I just pulled mine apart for cleaning. What you have listed in the picture as the coil o-ring is in fact the bottom o-ring on the chimney tube and is what seals off the tube and top of coil connection. The last o-ring is still I believe the top o-ring on the chimney tube. No coil o-rings are supplied because they come with the coils and with disposable coils the o-ring is expected to outlast the coil itself. At this point I think you need to empty the Egrip and use the provided tool to remove the tube and check that the o-ring at the bottom where it seals to the coil is intact. Then using a fresh 1 ohm coil in wattage mode start over by priming the coil with juice and then filling from the side port. Perhaps use a different flavor juice. I've never used Joyetech juice but perhaps their grape is not really a very smooth tasting juice.

Thanks Lefty- I thought that was the Oring that is on the tube section, as my tube assembly is not removable like on the VT! He said that is not it? I was scared that he would get the tube assembly out, under the drip tip, but needs to to completely clean out of all juice and make sure there is a seal on that tube which you pointed out that where it goes! The 2nd You tube video I posted shows the reviewer removing that section!
I couldn't stand using this device if it leaked like that, tasted like crap and harsh- what if ejuice gets into the charge port- fry city? I would also make sure that when you buy a device that you purchase at least a 5pk of coils, and would not purchase a device I couldn't easily get coils for!
Eliquids are another can of worms- everybody has different likes and dislikes- so hard to suggest any liquids! But what I do think is that this device needs higher VG and lower the Nic, but now I think the 1.0 coil is wrecked, not working properly, so no vaper, only eliquid pouring out and coming thru the mouthpiece?

 

[Lefty]

Hmm my coils did not come with o-rings none of them has an o-ring on them the bag with extra seals had those and they were a perfect fit for the coils

They all come with an o-ring on the bottom just above the threads. There is no o-ring at the top because that is on the tube in this model. Previous models had a silicone cap that went on the top of the coil to seal the coil - tube connection. One other thought is how you have the airflow screw adjusted. If it's a very tight draw or even nearly completely closed off it could be causing most of the difficulties you are having. Try turning the small airflow screw on the side near the bottom outward until you can actually see some threads and see how it works. I actually have the screw removed on all mine.
Edit: The top of the coils shouldn't have any kind of a seal on them. If you are adding one you may be preventing the one on the tube from doing it's job and causing a leak. The silicone caps for the coils are only used in the original and OLED models. If you have a seal on the top of the coil take it off. It is probably the source of most of your problems.

In fact as i said above i bought extra 5s pack of the Blue coil and none of those have the o-ring either...

You have to put the one from your spent top of the coil on the fresh one! You did show extras in your pack #3 of your pick- put that onto the fresh new coil!
You are going to have to use the Ni coil- TEMP mode only! make sure your mod is completely drained, take out the center tube under the drip tip, make sure that tube has a rubber piece on it, wipe down everything! Prime the new coil by drops on the coil cotton holes ,evaporate and redrip, keep doing that until fully saturated! Next install everything back together, Tight! Set the temp to 260c to start , but before you do anything, slowly using the side fill port add liquid, only half full! Clean up any liquid that spills into the door! Let the eGrip sit for at least 15-20 minutes with the new coil in! Should not leak at this point! Take primer puffs, no deep but shallow puffs, do not turn on power, should see bubbles! I fit starts to leak before power something is not in right or tight enough! I f no leaks or drips- you can try vaping- slowly turn up the temp 5 degrees at a time. Hopefully the coil works and you will not leak! If this leaks before you turn on the power, You have a problem and this needs to be exchanged! No way can you vape and keep this thing if something internal is broken!

On your OLED, yes. On the VT, no. The seal is on the tube not the coil in the VT.

i did all you told, i took some primary hits there was no leak, but i didnt see any bubbles either...
And when i use 260c it spits little drops, and if i go lower like 100c it says temp protection on the screen( actually it says temp protection from 100c to around 200c)

 

[Lefty]

260C equals 500F which is pretty high given the airflow of the egrip. Around 170C to 220C is more likely to be an acceptable temp. If your juice is high PG content or with some flavors a bit lower is better. Basically with temp control start low and work your way up to an acceptable level. I prefer the egrip in wattage mode with a wattage suitable coil myself.

yeah the problem is that it powers up at 260c but in 100c it says temp protection...

 

[Lefty]

Well 100C is 212F and no TC I've used will do much at that level. That's why I say to work yourself up to what suits. The key isn't so much whether it displays temp protection but how it vapes. That's why I'm not excited about the approach to TC on this model since you can't adjust both the power and temp in TC mode, just temp. I have other TC devices and enjoy TC with them but prefer wattage mode with the VT.

Lefty thanks for your help! I thought those temps seemed high- I got the coil rating temp range from Joyetech site, I do not vape in temp control!
I have two Sigeleis' 40w mini book and the 75w Oni with the Sigelei X Tank that do temp control, but have not tried it yet! Right now I have Alantis coils in 1.0 kanthal and those work so nice! I will give temp control a try since I have 3 Ni200 coils, the 1.0 are still going strong at over 2 weeks

But is it leaking? All the other stuff will work itself out when the coil breaks in! Probably the juice- do try and get some higher vg at least a couple of bottles, the Joyetech liquid is ok for your Kanger eVod, but the eGrip works great with higher VG.Also get at least a 5pk of 1.0 kanthal coils too!

 

[SnapDragon NY]

GahAdorable -Hope all is well where you are in Turkey and that you are safe- Just seeing on my US news that Turkey is experiencing a Military takeover , stay safe friend!

 

[Lefty]

I forgot to mention about the bubbles comment. Mostly you were seeing all those bubbles because it was leaking. While there will be an occasional bubble as the wick and coil uses juice it's not a constant stream sort of thing, more like after several puffs and will vary by what your settings are and vape style.
Once you take out that extra ring and let the coil and tube seal the way it's supposed to the leaking should stop.
Like SnapDragon says, stay safe. Hopefully things will settle down.

Thanks guys i didnt die at least for this takeover... My family was out of town for couple of weeks and i had my first apocalypse alone i wasnt able to sleep till 7am thats when the gunshots and bombings stopped.

My shipment for the 5pk coils and high vg juice was already sent when this happened it was on the road and now i cant reach any shipment companies and my shipment is stolen at best situation if its not blown up

Glad that you are OK- At least you have internet service and your house is still standing. Fingers crossed that your new juice and coils arrive to your home too! The shipper would have to resend, should be insured, not your fault. Hopefully your new eGrip VT was working properly and gave you some comfort during your siege . Sorry to hear you are alone- but so happy to hear that you are OK!

Thanks! egrip was still spitting a bit but at that time i didnt mind i actually almost went to a store to get some cig packs because there was a new on every channel that people were banned from streets for god knows how long but i ended up not going so still good on that part still smoke free!

 

[SnapDragon NY]

Yes, good thing not to go outside- especially for a pack of smokes, yes I saw that there were curfews issued, everyone stay off the streets! I don't know why you are having spitting issues, mine doesn't spit, so hopefully new coils and new liquid will take care of that! At least it is not leaking!
Stay strong friend- you will get the hang of vaping sometimes it just takes a while to understand your gear.No need to buy nasty cigarettes, you are young, break free from those things now as it gets so much harder when you are old like me! Ecigs have helped me slay my 30+ year smoking addiction- wish I tried them sooner, I am almost 2 years cigarette free! Ecigs and will power and some great eliquids- just don't give up! You are on the right path!
Stay Safe!

right now i dont get spitts usually just sometimes and just a really tiny drop of heat i feel in my mouth, by the way i know juices arent supposed to be drinked etc. does it cause me any health issues if a tiny drop gets into my mouth like i described.

And when i power the button i hear clearly there is something going on inside the tank, its not like a gurgle but very strong sounds like baloons popping inside the tank.

 

[SnapDragon NY]

No , you are fine- do not drink eliquid out of the bottle, everyone that vapes has gotten eliquid in their mouth and hands, you are OK, much less worried about that then the 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette, make sure you are drinking water. I have a Kanger Dripbox- talk about spitting, molten hot fireballs can shoot out of it, on my face and neck and can be a really rough device to vape on. Do not ever purchase that Haha! The crackling sound is normal too, you should hear that, the coil is heating the liquid!

 

[SnapDragon NY]

Did you give up on the Kanger eVod 2 tanks? Again you being new probably burned up the coil, you should order more coils for that so you at least have a back up! Hopefully all the leaking juice didn't hurt the battery! Keep your eye out on some of the devices I listed for you from your vendor, you should have back ups! Always order a 5pk of coils too and when you get down to 2 left order more! I keep 10- 5pks of coils for my devices, and I try to make sure I can interchange my coils or that many tanks use the same. My egrip uses eleaf gsair coils, I use a CS base, and so do my gsair tanks. My Sigelei X tanks use Aspire Atlantis coils as does my Melo tank for my Pico! I try to keep things compatible, so I am not worrying about buying 5 different coils for 5 different tanks. I do not build my own coils yet, but have to learn to!

No i know for a fact the kangers leak wasnt about me burning coils, i had extra 5pk coil for that and each one of those coils had leaks. terrible terrible leaks... to be honest the only device that i never had an issue with was the ego ce6 clearomizer. and it was a bad bad device didnt give any flavour and no vapor...

infact right now im trying out one of those kanger evod with my ego-c twist and joyetech juice, i still hear something like a gurgle and i can feel its about to leak but for now its holding on and giving decent taste and vapour. But my main goal is the egrip it has such a potential to be all i need as soon as i get the new coils and 85vg juice im going to try that i have high hopes its gonna work for me this time

Hello once again, finally got my new juice and coils, so i tried these for over 4 hours now i have to say its much much better right now, im getting a lot more vapor the leaks are seriously decreased aswell, there is still a thing tho; it still spits a bit, and when i do big hits(i do mouth to lung) i feel like coughing thats really anoying, the other thing is that the extra 5pk coils i ordered are diffrent than the kanhtal coil that came with the device, they still have the same color ring all black, their ohms are the same, but these are rebuildable and their wicks are a lot diffrent, the new once's wicks go way outside of the actual coil maybe this is quality cotton i have no idea. And the most important these coils didnot come with a seal ring on top of them but in the manual it says put the seal rings on the coils, i will upload pics of the manual and the actual coil itself when i get the chance to.

So two problems with this, still spits a bit but way better than was before and the coil thing i told above. (And the coughing problem aswell, when i say i need to cough after taking a decently long hit i dont mean its a dry hit or a burnt taste i get actually good taste from hits but i dont know maybe im not used to this so thats why i cough.)

-I am currently using The sapphire manglomania juice which is 85vg 10pg 5water. And i use it between 15-20watt.

Still guys i am really really close to getting my dream device working perfectly,

That 5% water is more likely to make the coil pop or spit. And the coughing may just be your reaction to the flavor. Some are easier on the lungs than others.
The CLR heads are a horizontal coil. That makes it much easier to rewick and if you choose recoil. I can't say this any plainer. Your VT does NOT use the seal rings at the top of the coil. That is for other models and tanks that these coils can fit. The original Egrip using a CL head and the Egrip OLED would use them. Not yours. Do not put them on your coils. Use the coils as they come out of the pack.

 

[SnapDragon NY]

Hi Gah and Lefty- Lefty is telling you NOT to use the rubber seal on top of the coil, use the coil as it comes out of the pack, mine is NOT the VT model just the OLED model and I need the cap. Your center tube assembly is different than mine! Glad that you got your coils and eliquid,like Lefty is telling you, the 5% water will crackle and pop.Shake up your eliquid really good every time you use it too, mix it up! What nic level did you get? Nic can give a throat hit, but those 1.0 coils are usually smooth, take much shallower drags on it, in the beginning I coughed a lot too, but some of that was years of cig abuse on my lungs and they were clearing out from not smoking, also it takes a while to get use to eliquid. It will take a few weeks till you stop coughing! Drink a lot of water, it helps!
You bought the coils that can be rebuilt, excellent, your instructions show how to do that! You do not throw these coils out, save them,when you get ambitious you can learn to rebuild it and reuse it, again You Tube has videos on it will tell you what kanthal wire to buy and cotton,and will save you money and could reuse these coils!
What flavor is your new eliquid?
I used menthols in the beginning, to me that helped cool my throat.I do not use menthols now, too close in flavor to my cigarettes, now- my faves are candy flavors like blueberry cotton candy,bubble gum and peach.I like bakery flavors too, Cinnamon roll and sugar cookie. You will need to experiment with flavors to see what you like. Read eliquid reviews here on the forum, so many suggestions, maybe your shop carries some of these brands to try later!
I use 6-3 nic and have some 0nic to try. My flavors are so strong that I think now I am more addicted to the flavors than the nicotine!
All of this vaping stuff just takes some time and patience, much trial and error, but you will get the hang of it, just keep trying!

yeah im not using any seals on the coil, just posted the manuals(check step 5 of the manual pls)it says there and i was confused. My new juice is Sapphire manglomania 6mg nic. Currently i got up to 20watt stabled.

Well 6 nic is good, Lefty has this VT and says to NOT use the cap coil, maybe instructions for my OLED, I must use the cap!
Glad it is getting stable, and hopefully now this is your dream device! Never heard of Sapphire and I cannot get back onto the site you listed. Is that an USA juice? I think some vapes just sputter and spit sometimes. That should settle down when the coil breaks in.
Still should have another device for a back up in the future, like the AIO or similar, do not want to see cigarettes as a back up plan! It would be nice for you to keep a good eye for a sale on the Kanger Cupti, very similar to the egrip, but great because it has replaceable external battery! The egrip is internal, once that battery dies, the mod dies! Do not even think about buying the Kanger NeBox! That thing can be a horrible leaker! I think Kanger fixed all that with the Cupti!
As long as you are not leaking juice, I am glad!

Sapphire is made in france, how long is the expected batterly life of the egrips?

 

[SnapDragon NY]

I am not sure- I have a eleaf istick 20w that I have used daily for almost 2 years! Take good care of it, and hopefully will last a few years? It is unknown and hopefully in the next few months you can look for something with replaceable 18650 batteries, because its life span is unknown. You surely realize that this will not last forever?

Yeah right now its all good, i apperantly burned one of the coils i have no idea how i just started getting a burn taste had to switch the coil, other than that its all pretty good right now.

But gotta tell the wierdest thing happened a few days back, egrip was just sitting on the table i wasnt even touching it and it started powering itself i had to turn it off to stop that. I have no idea why and how that happened

Hope that doesn't keep happening! Maybe eliquid got into the panel? Make sure you shut it off after you are done vaping, and don't leave it unattended when charging.If you keep experiencing that happening again I would contact the vendor!
Hopefully that was a one time thing, after all you had quite the leak, but the egrip shouldn't do this! Make sure you shut it OFF after vaping!
Wow such bad luck!

yeah i always shut it off when im not using it, dont know if it saves battery when i shut it off just being careful. and ofcourse i never leave it charging overnight its a quick charge time aswell, this happened few days ago since then no problems, i find drops of juice on the bottom of the drip tip but its not getting to my mouth so im gonna leave it there i dont want to mess with it anymore i will just enjoy it the way it is

My 4 month old egrip OLED started autofiring while it was sitting on the counter, it would stop at the 10 sec cut off, then start firing itself again, and I removed the coil and base. Not sure what is going on with it, and it is not working right! Past my 30 day warranty. Thank goodness for backups! I never had a leak and all was working great until Monday. My newer mods all have external batteries, because you never know when you internal battery device dies.
Not sure if your device is working properly? you have only had it a couple of weeks, maybe better to return now!
For a similar device I am looking at the Kanger Cupti, I am just waiting for a good sale.
I have 3 Sigelei Mini Book Kits and a Sigelei 75w Oni, plus my Innokin iTastes vv/vw and tanks and eLeaf Pico, plus my trusty iStick 20w with a gsair tank that I have used almost daily since Feb 2015. With the upcoming regulations on ecigs here in the US I want to make sure I can continue vaping! Not sure if we will be able to purchase from online anymore as it has been deemed a tobacco product here! I live in NY we have face to face tobacco sales here!
My eGrip was a whim purchase, something to take when I went out, hardly used, never dropped and babied, I did nothing wrong with mine either , thank goodness I didn't pay alot for it. Goes to the Vape Shop tomorrow to be recycled!
The online retailer that I bought it from is giving me a 25% off code plus free shipping for my trouble! I will be buying the Cupti from them!

If you can get it replaced, that's the way to go. In the US at least, buying something with a replaceable battery is prudent. Mods with internal batteries WILL die at some point. Firing on it's own is almost certainly the result of juice being where it's not intended. Whether from excessive leaking or changing flavors and cleaning. I haven't had one of my egrips do it yet but my Istick 50W did. A good clean with a spray electronics cleaner (I used CRC QD electronic cleaner spray, the QD is for quick dry) and all is fine. I have had one of my egrips apart to see how difficult replacing the battery would be when needed. The replacement battery is pretty cheap from a hobby supply store and actually doing the swap won't be TOO painful but it would be nice if it's a good long while before I need to. To clean the egrip would involve removing the bottom plate. The screws need torx bits. You could give it a good douse with CRC without going further and let it dry a while and it would likely do the job. I pulled the works out of the case myself but that wouldn't be strictly necessary. The button and wheel will fall out if you do but you only need to replace it and keep that side down when sliding everything back in. If you aren't comfortable doing that then getting it replaced if possible or just moving on to something different would be best.

Yeah, kind of sucky that mine bit the dust, but will give a try with the CRC QD spray, what do I have to lose right? I Never changed flavors or try to clean, used the same Blueberry Cotton Candy, one of my favs, the whole time, but used the RBA base and massive flooding.. Will try spraying it and see if it fixes the problem. Thanks for the help.
Sounds like Gah may have this problem down the road as he described what mine is doing. I an so glad that I have good backups, and the eGrip was something that was easy to throw in my pocket or purse pocket! Good thing it was not the only device I counted on!

With the rba it's wicking. If you trim the wick long enough to tuck down under the lip and into the wells but not so long that it gets caught in the threads when you screw the barrel down, it won't leak. I'll qualify that, it will only leak with big temperature differentials or if you just let it sit for a very long time, just like most tanks.

Hi Lefty- I used the RBA right out of the box, which had the coil and wick preinstalled. Sat over nite, leaked out all the juice, never used the RBA again. I used the CS base with the GSAir 1.2 coils for months! It has been hot here but have the AC on, but it has sat for a day or 2 without use. I will try the spray, maybe that will work?
