2nd Edition Cartomizers - Won't sell to US now !!!

[Kent C]

Well, I got back from vacation and my package from China was waiting for me. They messed up my order, but I guess to some extent that is almost SOP for this company.

Considering all of the hooplah, fanfare, and cheer-leading regarding these cartomizers.. I must say that I am woefully unimpressed. Vapor production.. "OK". Throat hit: "OK"... Flavor "OK". Cartomizer-to-cartomizer consistency: "Fair".

At this point, IMHO, they are nothing special and nothing to get worked up about. Yes.. I realize that I can sort them, and I can tweak them, and I can probable make them better.... but that is neither an advantage or a selling point. If I can't recommend them with a clear conscience to vaping friends, then they are not a viable product in my opinion.

I look forward to my shipment of "the next best revision (ceramic)"... but until then, I have to label these as "not ready for prime time" and will put them in that big pile of stuff that I call "dubious purchases".

At this point, I like them for the Wetbox which obviates the need for their special filling requirements and so far the Wetbox switch has held up to the wattage. I get good flavor and vapor with each squeeze and I'm wondering if it is just that the bottom feed, feeds the coil better. Won't be using them on any other PV. There are better alternatives out there - namely, the LR attys/cartos and the mega eGo atty/cart which, with duration is a good choice, imo. Yeah, not the vapor of the 1.6Ω cartos but duration is a good tradeoff in some scenarios.

PIF forum? I don't come here much anymore. Anyplace stateside carry them?

Wondering what happened to you. We had some good threads there for a while. You were a good sounding board ;-) for me figuring out the flat tip types. And what RY1 was. lol.

Haha. Can't tell you how hard it is to remember to keep my language and what I say in check when I come back here from time to time.

I think they are for sale at COV. 5pk limit. I just read that somewhere.

I read that CoV had them but that they are all sold. I heard that they only had like 20 or so 5 packs so they went fast. I could be wrong thou

There is an e-Mail notification option to be alerted when they are back in stock. Supposed to be another 7 days.

 

[WitchWay]

I got the email alert when they got them in, but wasn't able to purchase for 2 hours after that. Made my purchase of 1 pack, came here posted that they had them and by the time I went back they were sold out. So click that notify button and watch your email!! He has a bigger order that is suppose to be on the way.

Hopefully I'll have the ones I bought before the weekend.



Happy Vaping

Even though I was unable to get any from CoV, I like the fact that there was a 1 pack limit so more people could get a chance at them. This one pack limit might be in effect next time also.

That was smart of Bruce to do that and I'm glad he did. I just got my shipping notice

 

[Turbo]

I got the notice and could've ordered but I'm holding out for the higher ohm versions. I await the review of these.

 

[zoiDman]

I'm waiting for the XL's. I'll let you guys fight over the scraps.

 

[WitchWay]

Keep your eyes on VaporJunction for the XLs

 

[Kent C]

Do we have a good cutaway view picture of the E2? I've seen one but I don't recall whether it was in one of bad's videos or in a still. Just paged through about 40 pages on two threads ;-)

If anyone has a link.... appreciated!
