I don't know if this has been done yet (I haven't seen any dedicated posts except PTB mods on the CE2) but I thought I could share this with you.
It's basically a thread/wick fraying mod for the CE2. I had thought about doing the PTB mod, but I just didn't feel like buying a box of tea just to try a mod.
I was excited to get these cartos because I was tired of refilling carts and cleaning attys when I wanted to switch flavors. But I was a tad disappointed with the performance. There was less flavor and throat hit than usual. I had read about the PTB (and saw the videos) but as I said before, I just didn't feel like buying a box of tea to test.
This will take 2 posts because I have 9 pics to share.
Here are the tools I used:
Tweezer (I used the .... of them to get the plug back in over the coil)
Scissors (not shown)
Bent Paper Clip
Piece from a binder clip (for tugging that last plug out)
A 7-11 Big Gulp Straw (or any straw that will fit inside the carto and around the ceramic coil)
Syringe for filling
510 Riva battery
CE2 R4 510XL 3 ohm carto
1. With the paperclip, CAREFULLY pull the wick up on both sides.
2. Snip through the two loops.
3. Fray the threads. I try to get as close to the coil as possible. I haven't had any problems yet. I also used the scissors to comb them out more.
Next post!
I am going to start working on the next post, it will be up shortly.
