I can tell you my experience with the ego-T was not bad, but yes, I lost flavor too. Something I found out after a while was cleaning them regularly is important. More than you would think. I use isopropyl alcohol after running warm water thru them then blow them out really good and let dry, later do a dry burn in short spurts to remove any iso tastes.
Making sure the wick is set right is also important. Too high, no juice gets to the atty, too low leaks like crazy. The LR attys are amazing and rival drip tips in my opinion. while the drip tips are REALLY good, having an all day vape and not having to mess with it is pretty good plus for me.
Anyway, hope this helps
