    "clearomizer" round up for 808s...

    It can find it's way into the inner tube. Make sure you store it upright. Keep it upright when not in use. Give the bottom a good alcohol wipe to dry it off. Harsh juices- cinnamon, menthol, citrus, can work their way through the plug around the center post. You may have let it seep in when you...

    "clearomizer" round up for 808s...

    Curious about the hot flavorless vape. Maybe the coil is now too close? Cyrus, do you have the right kind of syringe that can replace the standard shell on those with a longer one without modding it to fit? Or perhaps an extra long drip tip? Anything to put some air between you and the coil.....

    can you take a picture? I like the guessing game as much as I like the game where we are typing over each other. I'm going to visit another thread for a moment.......

    It's ok, Mookie. I understand the need to clean house every once in awhile. Especially because you are on the search for your vape. The ce4s that Smoktek has are pretty much the same as everyone else's, I imagine. Except I believe the ones elsewhere that are 808 fall more in the 2.8 ohm range...

    "clearomizer" round up for 808s...

    Ordered these friday and so far, all that's shown up every day since then is the shipping notification. This is giving an unfair advantage to the mailman.

    "clearomizer" round up for 808s...

    Smoktek has ce4s with the flat base for the echos that have a whistle tip. Vision 808 Echo/VGO Transparent Clearomizer, 2.5 Ohm Last thing I need is another ce4 but I couldn't resist the whistle tip. Hmmm....how long did that spending freeze last?

    If you are going to slide it over the battery, punch a hole in the shell before removing the guts. BUT I actually prefer using the syringe plunger grommet. The ridges on the outside provide the right grip to hold the shell in place better and it's less apt to come off. It also seals off airflow...

    But you can still fill the easy fill with a syringe, yes?

    The Echo Thread

    Rather than point to previous threads where we have taken them apart for cleaning, I'll summarize. 1)Take the filler out of an echo cartomizer. It helps if it's wet. Needle nose pliers work well for this. Wash both pieces of filler and lay them out to dry for future use. 2) With a screwdriver...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Aluminum is typically anodized for cooking. You dent your anodized aluminum, cause it to pit or otherwise mess up the coating, it should no longer be used. I wouldn't use aluminum in anything that is corrosive.

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    So far my mistakes have all been tiny. I had two glass bottles prefilled and sitting at the ready that I was very attentive about the night before, even trying to factor the mg percentages into the flavoring I would add (which is something I had originally decided not to worry about with...

    Gotvapes Stardust: How to re-wick and replace the coil

    You can also pry the threads out of an old ego cone and hammer it into the band for a makeshift thread cover for tanks! Everything can be repurposed!

    5v of kr808 pleasure?

    If you are talking small batteries at 5v, than no. Not until a significant leap forward in battery technology. But a big black battery with no led can still be stealthy. Anything can be stealthy as long as you aren't looking like you are trying to hide something and aren't blowing obnoxious...

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    I can tell you I made a batch of FP that worked out to 2.5 drops per ml. After 4 days. It's syrupy sweet- almost caramely. If the sweet would die down, it would still be rich but a little more satisfying. The batch I made at 2 drops last week is good but as I said, I know I'm dipping into it a...

    The only time I'm ever patient is the ones I fill at night before bedtime. I remember when it was routine to vape it all day and fill at night before putting the battery on a charger. I had such a good system then. Now I have seven batteries and a zillion cartos so I get a little careless. Every...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I do have some of the aquarium grade. Found in the glue section at Lowe's. It's loctite brand. Imagine selling anything that would seal an aquarium that would be toxic to fish. (LOL! Know anyone that is an avid aquarium keeper? I know one that smokes but god forbid they do it in their tank...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    The Dap brand 100% silicone is food safe. Again though, I always try to leave 72 hours to cure. It's not the silicone that's dangerous, it's the stuff that keeps it in a flowing form. The evaporating vapors are what is toxic in any silicone out of the tube. Most is cured in two days. I...

    I have a catch bottle. It helps to fill these to oversturation the first time. With a syringe, fill it up to 3mls and slowly inject about .75mls to a ml at a time. Rotate and repeat in a different spot. Set it at an angle on the catch bottle and drip slowly, watching for absorption, an extra...

    I don't think so, Cyrus. As for pictures, my cell phone takes crappy one and I spent a day taking pics of my setups, battery sizes for other people and fufilling requests from Cyrus. Loaded them up and they all look like garbage. Maybe it's my computer. IDK.
