Has anyone that's getting the chemical taste tried using vinegar to clean with? I use vinegar on all my cartos then rinse with hot water. If your cup looks like the one above, I've found that using a cuticle remover works well at cutting the slots bigger. The tip is small enough to fit inside the tube with plenty of room and it cuts the plastic easily.
I haven't tried vinegar, but I plan on operating on this one before I refill it to see if it makes a difference.
I should also mention that I noticed one of my juices from Clouds of Vapor had a strange taste in these cartos. It wasn't the carto and none of my other juices had any strange taste, it was something they added to the flavor in that one that gave me an odd nasty taste. I got that same taste in a regular atty when I ran out of juice one time so I think it's heat related. The hotter coils bring out some flavors you wouldn't normally taste in the liquids. Pure liquids that use just flavor, VG/PG and distilled water seem to do just fine.
Hell Banjo. I can't see good enough to tell how wide them little slots are, lol.
One cart that I inspected had the ring glued in. There is excess glue on the rim inside the cup and one slot is completely filled with glue. Two other carts have no glue.
They forgot to glue two of them so they just added the extra glue to the other one....LOL
Honestly I have no idea why they need to glue to cap to the cup. I would glue the cap to the inside of the tube from the top of the cap so it's not inside with the juice.
Here's what I've experienced:
Drip on LR attys - I can get a burnt taste if I don't keep it wet. The juice vapes hotter obviously so some flavors quickly taste burnt. Fruity flavors taste burnt but sometimes vanilla will taste burnt if I take too long of a drag. My TV Tobacco tastes awesome on an LR atty regardless of length of drag.
Drip on regular attys - The only time I get a burnt taste is long extended drags on lighter flavors like fruits. TV Tobacco tastes good but the flavor is not as rich as on an LR atty.
Standard cartos - I've used this method the most since I've started vaping because of convenience. Everything tastes decent, even vanilla. TV Tobacco tastes a little washed out. After a refill or two, the taste drops on any flavor and sometimes you can taste a "spit" like flavor (no doubt that's actually what it is). If they get too dry, you can definitely taste the burning filler.
LR cartos - The first always tastes good, but again, some fruity or light flavors quickly get a smoky, burnt flavor to them that is definitely not the filler. It's just the juice cooking instead of vaporizing. After one refill they start to taste nasty, again, like spit (I swear I'm not fat lipping it or drooling into the carto, I'm sure, inevitably, some gets in there though).
CE2 cartos - I won't rehash everything that's been talked about. I do get great vapor, consistent hits, smooth draws. However, on a BRAND NEW UNFILLED carto, if I take a draw on it without putting it on a battery or filling with any liquid it tastes like plastic. Like I said before, take a mcdonald's straw and chew the end of it a little and then take a drag from the straw. That's the closest description of the taste that I get, regardless of what flavor I use. The TV tobacco masks it a bit, but it's still there.
I haven't rinsed them yet or tried vinegar. I have removed the end cap and I can still taste it. Sometimes I get used to it and I don't think it's there but the second I think of it, I taste it. It's like "the game", the second I think of it, I lose.
Anyway. I'm just trying to point out, it's not the usage of the carto. It's not the liquid. It's not lack of experience in other LR or high voltage vaporizing of the liquid. It is a very distinct, very unique to this carto, taste of a plasticy chemical. Whether it's the glue, the fact that there is plastic inside of the carto or some holdover from the manufacturing process, I don't know.
But it is there, I'm not crazy so neener.
EDIT: I should point out that I use a ProVape-1 and KR-808D-1 batts with 510 adapters. The ProVape is a full 3.7v device. The KR808-D1 ar standard fair.

Well alright then...lol I'm glad I haven't run into this smell or taste yet. It's bound to happen though.
Quick tip for those waiting on China orders: Go to USPS - The United States Postal Service (U.S. Postal Service) and track your shipment number. When the next screen comes up it gives you the option to receive e-mails every time your shipment status changes. Saves time and hassle.
Hey i know there a a bunch of you who really dig these new Edition 2 Cartos. I have a good 225 of These things in Stainless Steel (mirror finish) that i would like to sell at a discounted price. They really just aren't my thing. Message me if your interested.
heres a pic of the ones i have (they have 3 holes, 2 small for the refilling and 1 big for airflow)
These are 510 style Edition 2 Cartomizers

I am currently using a v2 510 on a Little sister variable voltage unit filled with filled with cloudsofvapor blueberry pancakes e-liquid.
I had tried this liquid in my 801 and 510 and did not think much of it. Now it tastes fantastic! I don't know if it is the v2 cartomizer or if it is the little sister.
Tried to put the 510 on my multivolt tekkeon with no success, will not make a connection. I also tried it on my joker with an 801 to 510 adapter and no luck either.
Is anyone having connection problems with the v2 510?

The current version? Yes. I have several box mods they won't connect on, but they work fine on my Joye mega batts, as well as my Little Sister and WetBox. The newest version shipping is supposed to be "fixed", but I don't have mine yet to confirm.
What setting are you using these with on your Little Sister? I have my cranked down to the first notch and it tastes great.
You're a better man than me, then.
I like the flavor better at lower voltages, but glad you like it.

I had it on a lower voltage originally, but as the flavor started to fade I cranked up the juice on the little sister to bring it back. i will have to refill the carto and see where I like it voltage wise when it is full.
Yes, I'm having connection issues too. I have 4 of the new cartos and one works on nearly every battery I have, one works on only two batteries, the other two work on about a third of my batteries. None of them work on my 801 to 510 adapters.
So far this is the only issue I have with these new cartos.
I guess the E2 510 Carto's I received must be some old design because they just don't wick fast enough, even using an 18650 at 4.2v. Too bad, I like the design.
well the 2.5 ohmed ones wherent meant for 4.2 volts, thats to hot.
they work great at 3.3 volts and 3.7
the newer 3.0 ohm e2 should be better for the volatge your using.
Im still trying to figure out if this bad taste people are having is the glue issue or if its the dry issue plus the juice they are using.
im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the cup itself being plastic, if that was the case then everyone would taste bad and it would stay bad because your constantly heating the plastic, so thats not the issue, either they are tasting the dry bad taste due to the wick and coil on older versions or its the glue around the cup melting into the juice like i mentioned before.
which is also being handled for the newer versions.

here's some of my first impressions (bought these from clouds of vapor, box says production date is 20100616, but we know not to take that too seriously).
the coil seems to be looser, the slits seem to be slightly wider (not constricting the wick, from what i can see) i don't think the wick is 'fluffy' but it seems to be performing decently so far (using V4L wowbacco, which i think is a pg/vg mix) and the flavor and vapor are both great on my hello 016 (plenty cool enough, i'm used to using my regular 510 cartos on my 5v passthrough). filling was a bit of an adventure, my first time using a syringe. i've taken a leaf out of e-joker's book (from another thread on these in the CoV subforum) and taken out the inner cap (3 holes, didn't seem to be glued in came out very easily) and put a drip tip on there. it's rockin!
when i first removed it from the foil pack it smelled like a nail salon (mostly seems to be the rubber tip, which i've set aside) i don't know if this smell is because the carto was primed with anything, but it smelled like a nail salon, that's the only way i can describe it.
aside from the initial smell, it's working as expected (very well). i'm gonna keep following this thread, but if the new version (ceramic cup, fluffy wick, etc) works as promised, i think these could be the future of vaping technology.
edit: forgot to talk about the connector/threads. the one i have pulled out of the pack works on the 2 510 manual batts i have (joye, from innovapor) as well as my hello 016. it also works on my 5v PT (i just made sure that it made a connection and fired, i didn't try to vape it at 5 volts). the only batts i have it doesn't work on are my old blus (l88-somethin or other). i'm pretty sure it doesn't screw down far enough to make contact, but it doesn't really matter cause i don't use these batteries regularly at all (just keep them around cause i can't bring myself to throw out my first e-cig)
