    Baterry stripe , little concer

    as long as there was not a protection circuit (small metal disk) on the bottom of the battery then I would use it (maybe with the electrical tape or dime tube cover. if there was a protection circuit, then there is a small positive "ribbon wire" from top to bottom on the battery under the...

    Isn't the red light supposed to come on when you're charging?

    Cant help with the tank wicking issues. as for ego charging......clean both the inside of the charging connector and the battery connector with a q-tip and a little iso alcohol. if there is a dark residue in either connector use a straight pin or jewelers screwdriver to lightly scrape out the...

    Anyone else have this problem¿??

    Sat down andthen dug mfy 510 out ofthe my pocket. BENT BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND CARTO. No big deal fixed. Second time there was no fixing. Ruined the battery. Next time carto broke. Just too fragile to use "worry free". Makes me want to go back to simple analogs.

    Boge 2.7 ohm

    First fill is very resistant to absorbing liquid properly. I always syringe fill the first time then by dripping every few hours after that. Getting the first fill right is the key to extending carto life.

    Waste of time?

    Thanks for confirming. Darn shame to waste such a nice looking chip. Maybe I will save it for making a large mod with built-in charging plug one day.

    Waste of time?

    Battery connector went bad on one of my ego chargers. Thought of using the PCB to make a 4.2v regulated passthrough. However remembered it has a 500ma output. I presume this makes it a no go?

    Brass Bat

    Maybe a little thicker bottom plate. Could inlay a small piece of PCB with two contact points instead of the soldier and wire. Then the battery could be freely changed from the bottom. Just an idea.

    Brass Bat

    Very nice. I presume the bottom plate is held by spring tension? Depress the connecting rods to release the bottom plate for battery changes; and that the button is threaded so can be tightened to lock the switch in an off position?

    new genesis atty?

    have not built one yet (waiting on parts). Here is what I gather from reading hundreds of posts in the last couple weeks: for test fire (ie dry burn): whole coil turns red evenly = functioning correctly coil partially lights or lights unevenly indicates a short coil immediately lights at only...

    Scubagen Mods

    How about rolling the mesh around a piece of momofilament fishing line? Then the wick could be bent to the shape before the line is removed without kinking. Also how about preoxidizing the resistance wire as is done with the mesh roll before wrapping to minimize shorting and break in period?

    All my mods part1

    And I just thought I had some good ideas for making my own atties. Incredible work Raidy. Even if many of the ideas I thought were mine have already been tried and proven not to be so good. What an education the last three days of reading has been.

    Cartomizer issue...did I kill it for good?

    New carto filler is resistant to absorbing liquid especially thicker vg stuff. I always do my initial fills with a syringe so I know I get the first fill right ei. Warming a thick liquid will thin it a bit and make it absorb into the filler faster.

    Juice darkening normal?

    Just seems like my juice has aged the equivalent of several months in a few hours. A little concerned .

    Juice darkening normal?

    So I made my first tank mod finally and loving it. Approx 4ml capacity with ce2 guts. My problem /question is by the time I use about 2/3 of the juice the rest has become twice as dark as the original liquid I filled with. Is this normal?

    Cartos getting HOT while vaping??

    A carto getting warm is normal. Getting hot is normally one of two things: overuse or underfilling.

    All my friends are addicted

    Time to start DIY. keep a few 5ml bottles in your desk "for sale". Could offset some of your own vaping costs.

    Snap Crackle and Pop

    just like bacon. That sound is a good weld or a good vape. A win either way.

    Resistance with a joye 510

    Even a small 3.5ml DCT is much larger diameter than a standard 510. Best to just get an ego battery if you want to go that route.
