I've been emailing the company. They are telling me there has been no revisions and that everyone is getting the same ones. Blatantly lying to me. They are refusing to send replacements or refund my money :facepalm:. I expected this but, thought I would let yall know what's going on. I'll prolly wait a week or two before ordering another batch if I do at all.

Anyone have internal pics of the "new working revision"? I want to send them pics of mine and the new ones and then see if they tell me they are all the same.

Here is the link to all 3 videos I made on the E2 cartomizer.

YouTube - DJbizzum's Channel

Well the trick to the carts is the wick and coil, What I did was using very very very very thin long tweezers, the ones i use are thin as a needle, what I do is first pull up the wick from the slits and fluff it upby jabbing is and grabing its looser hairs to fluff it up then press it back down the slit, then i do this for the other side, then I start to loosen the wick in between the coil, this part is delicate and be careful not to kill the coil, this alleviated the wicking issue.

The factory is making these adjustments for all the cartos they make form now on according to NAVATHIAN from these forums and aileen and martinez from royal smokers. The issue I saw was that the coil was wrapped to tightly around the wick and once you fired your mod or battery it would tighten the coil even further AND locking out any juice form getting to the coil, i didnt mention this in the videos becuase it wasnt my trick to tell but nav said it was ok.

As you can see by my videos on 3 different cartos that it works like a steam engine with no burn, some cartos will give you a hint of burnt taste on the 3 rd or 4rth pull but pull through it for 2 drags and it goes away once its fully wicked. I did not need to adjust all of them only some older versions.

These cartos has a small issue which is the wicking and if we put our minds together we can overcome anything. These things rock plain and simple.

I must have overlooked the pics of the new ones, I'll go back. Thx.

yeah i think your speaking to eliquid.cn and not microtech, your most likely trying o cancel during this fiasco and they got ......, its your right to cancell though but i dont think eliquid represents microtech in that way, either way we all knew well in advance we are beta testing things and some wont be happy becuase of these revisions and which version they got and all. but if in the end they fix the product and we have a new true alternativ to old cartos, then in all honesty this headache was worth every penny.

ive waited a full freaking year just to use a carto that tastes the way it should without a burning or cardboard taste in my mouth, so im happy.

I agree completely. And honestly, even with the originals, the mod is so simple it's worth it.

Not trying to cancel. I got some of the first batch and I'm trying to get those replaced with the new revision.


What is the mod?

on the older ones with no slits you have to fluff the wick on the sides where the juice goes with super thin tweezers or something compareable, i mean needle nosed types , really thin, then also fluff the wick around the coil, be very careful, just try to break apart the wick and fluff it, pull on it like your pulling apart thread after thread, that will allow more juice to flow freely.

fill it up with juice and vape, if you get any burnt taste after a few drags then continue to take another big drag or 2 and it will soak up the juice and then its perfect, the coil is wrapped up to tight, that has been adjusted in all the new ones that people will get soon.

Fixing the silver ones with the slits is easier becuase you can fully pull out the wick on each end and fluff them good and its easier to fluff the wick around the coil that way as well.

this picture below is apic of the newer fluffier coil and wick, this should alleviate the issue.

Just tell them you're on this forum and on this thread and you should get the other form letter. Or you could pm naviathan with your real name and he could tell them you already know. :)

This sounds very dependent on juice viscosity? I think that's a basic problem with most of these things but it's not a factor with regular cartomizers or even atomizers since the wick is so short (basically just in the coil itself). With these we now have a very long wick for the juice to traverse. I'm guessing you may be able to "fluff" or tighten your wick to match your juice viscosity but too tight of a wick won't work for thicker juice and too loose of a wick will be too wet for thinner juice.

quick i wish i knew, im not into the technical stuff, i just followed what i was told and it worked for me, i used both thick and thin juice form 6 vendors and they all work.
Quick, I know it seems like im preaching for these people but its just out of excitement because ive been getting down with this whole vaping thing, between dripping every 3 minutes and using cartos that taste like crap ive been waiting for a better carto so im overly excited, thes cartos are not perfect because they need to be adjusted and i cant speak for the newer revision until i play with it, but the ones i fixed and some i didnt have to, worked perfectly as shown in the videos

Ok I think you're a bit confused. The new revision starts production today. There's no way an order that's shipped today or before today can have the new revision.

ok, i just opened a pack of the blue ones and they are the older version with 7 holes and they are built like crap, they dont have the slits and are plain awful, the silver ones i have are the newer revision but not the newest. those pics are a few pages back.

here are the crappy e2 carto's

Trying to keep up with what is going on.. I have come across some confusing and seemingly contradicting posts.. I could be misunderstanding some things,,, but one was I thought Bad order was shipped well before the claimed improvements... whether it is just miscommunication or just a clutter of multiple conversations.... I only quoted two of the posts in one thread... to show some of (at least it appears to me) confusing posts...

Now taking my consumer hat off and putting my volunteer ECF staff hat back on... I do know one suggestion that would be good to follow.

Any postings of correspondence with the supplier/manufacturer , excluding sharing info on ones particular order, should cease ... the supplier/manufacturer is more than welcome to go through the proper channels of registering as a supplier here at ECF and any representatives could do so as well.

We have had situations in the past where people spoke of products for an individual that wouldn't register and it only caused problems.... this is not only to protect the potential consumer, but all parties involved as well.

Thank you for your understanding

I agree Duck, this is all very confusing. I think some stuff is lost in translation here. I don't know what to believe. I've tried these cartos and they burned after 3 puffs. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone until they have ironed things out & everything is more clear and concise.. Granted I only tried one from the "bad batch", but I think many people are setting themselves up for disappointment if they continue ordering from them. Just my opinion though. There seems to be no sense to any of this. They are making a new batch, but people don't really know what they are getting. Quite the gamble if you ask me.

as i stated in my previous posts with pics, i received in the same order, both the 510's with 7 holes in the inner plug and the ones with 3 holes, the ones with 7 holes had no slits where the wick comes into the coil and the other type had slits, the ones with the loosest coil around the wick work without any major adjustments.

thats pure rubbish, ive bought regualr cartos form many vendors that ended up in the garbage as well, should we shut those vendors down too.

the fact that we are lookng for the holy grail in cartos is becuase we are not happy with what we have now, ok i do agree they rushed a product to market and should have allieviated all issues before shipping but we all knew we where beta testing here.

how many atomizers have i bought form god knows how many vendors that either where doa or died in a day or burnt up or juice that sucks and tatses awful etc... watch my videos then tell me with a straight face they dont work as i stated, or would you like me to make a video with 7 of them all working flawlessly for over 10 minutes each nonstop with no breaks, i dont get what you are expecting.
