    Why mods? Why 6v?

    Hey roxics! How are we doing so far? You wrapping your head around this? Low resistance (LR) running at a lower voltage can only 'simulate' HR at higher voltage. It can NEVER duplicate it in every aspect. As you said... You hit the nail on the head. Power is exactly what we're after. The...

    eGo PT Confusion

    Sounds like an excellent choice. I use a 5v PT myself (KR8 threads) with a 3.4 ohm (HR) 'cool cart'. With the switchable voltage, you should be able to enjoy your regular cartos at 3.7 but may also want to get some cool carts to try with it at the higher voltage. Same current draw but more...

    "Oh yes," we have e-cigarette supplies

    True. The local discount liquor has a cheapo e-cig (I don't recognize it at all) and they claim to sell more than they can keep in stock. Truth be known, they probably limit their stock on the e-cigs (batteries) because they never seem to be out of refills. The local head shop is another...

    NEW RoyalSmokers C-E2 R4 Review, Tips, Info, Help, Video

    Sorry to interrupt... @ tim and slopes A bit freaky, but I was 'wondering' about vacuum locks preventing wicking on CE2s last nite. Posted my thoughts here if you did not see it yet: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-mods/137056-ce2-wicking.html Sounds like you are looking at...

    Chit Chattin away!

    A carton of Pall Mall's. I get those for all the people I don't like.

    Problem with the 808 carts I cleaned

    Now who's being silly? You could have automated the entire process by just washing the cartos and socks together in the washing machine (select delicates and second rinse) before tossing them in the dryer! Not sure I would want to wear socks that had been washed in isopropyl alcohol though. I...

    CE2 Wicking

    Understood. The additional flow up the wick could be excessive... almost like sucking a soft drink up a straw. I thought I had read where poor wicking was an issue with the new cartos, but your comment helped me realize it should not be a problem at all. I had assumed a steady state...

    Problem with the 808 carts I cleaned

    This method will not tell you if it is dry at the bottom near the battery. It will only tell you if it is likely NOT dry. Nope. Not much. LOL

    CE2 Wicking

    Got it. That's the main air intake directed to the intersection of the wick and atomizer. Wrong. A vacuum is created in the reservoir which works against the wicking. Further, air MUST enter the reservoir. If the only air entering the sealed reservoir is via the wick, then you also have the...

    "Oh yes," we have e-cigarette supplies

    You mean the stuff sold only on a cash basis handed to you in a brown bag with no receipt? *shock*

    CE2 Wicking

    Just a thought to toss out here (not sure where else to say it)... I've been lightly reviewing the design developments of the new cartos. CE2 rev 4 or whatever they're being called. The concept sounds great. A sealed reservoir holds the eliquid with no filler material required to hold it in...

    What ohm do I need for my cartos on these models?

    I forget which law of thermodynamics this is... But the principle is that pressure, temperature and volume are related. As a gas is compressed into a smaller volume, the temperature rises. As a gas rapidly expands, the temperature decreases. The heat is absorbed into the energy of the...

    Problem with the 808 carts I cleaned

    I believe the theory is that if the filler at the mouth end is NOT dry... Then the carto is not dry.

    What ohm do I need for my cartos on these models?

    It boggles the mind, doesn't it? I must agree that the power is directly related to heat. It's a conservation of energy rule. Since we are not using the battery to do any work, all the energy is converted to heat. If the E2 cartos at a given voltage/resistance use the same power as a...

    When V does not equal IR...

    Still trying to wrap my head around the effects of current, power, and temperature on vaporization/flavor in cartos. My best flavor is currently with a KR808D1 PT and Nhaler HR mega cartos. Assuming 3.4 ohm resistance and 5 volts, the current demand would be around 1.47 amps. V=IR So far, so...

    Mutimeter

    Thanks iJax! That makes sense. Your explanation of tolerance was perfect. Will keep looking for something in the low range. Was hoping with all the Radio Shack mentions and resistance discussions in ECF... a dozen members would jump in and make this easy by saying which model to get at RS. :~)

    Mutimeter

    Just found the Product Summary page. It does read resistance, but the low range is 200 ohms. "Ohms in 5 ranges: 200/2K/20K/200K/2M Ohm +/- 2.5% of reading, 2% of full scale, +/- 3 of last digit" Trying to read 2.0 to 3.5 ohms at the 200 range may be fine since it's digital. Anyone...

    Mutimeter

    Looking at the Radio Shack multimeters but don't know which one to get. I like the digital readout on this one... RadioShack® 15-Range Digital Multimeter - RadioShack.com It's the 15 Range Digital Multimeter, Model: 22-182 Anyone familiar with this model? Does it read resistance on a carto?

    Here is a list of USA made and sold liquid.

    That list is excellent. Provides the important info at a glance without having to scour each site. Would be awesome if it also included whether each site offers unmixed flavoring concentrates. I needed some concentrate yesterday and it took a while of going through the sites to find which had...

    KR808-D2 Replacements

    The cartos I'm testing now were ordered here: https://e-cig.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=572 While their other prices appear very competitive, their carto prices are about typical. These cartos look exactly like the Smoke 51 cartos. The inside is much different. The wick is seems to be a more...
