hello,
Is a co-op where several people go in on a large order?
If so, how can I get in on that.
Really don't want to get a paypal account just to buy these.

Yes. Usually it's informally organized by some individual. They post up that they're willing to organize a co-op or group order for some particular thing or set of stuff. The idea is to get a bulk price and consolidate shipping. There will be some minimum quantity to get a price break so they will start an interest list. Either in a thread or a "PM me" type of thing. If they get enough people to commit then they go from there. Either they front the money for the order (unusual), or they collect it first (usually) and place the order. Hopefully they get the stuff and then they piece it out according to the individual orders and send those along to the individuals.

You get in on these by looking for them and contacting the organizer with your interest.

You'll probably have to get a paypal account to get in on a group buy. The organizer is most likely some individual and isn't going to take credit cards for payment.

There is risk. For both the individual and the group buy organizer. Sometimes organizers will only let people they know in on it.

well have another shot on me.

br5495... Happy Birthday... 75... nice non-round round number :)

DEXTER:: for the e2 carto not working on that certain riva, well i had one also not work cause the contact was just inside the lip of the carto, so i took a spring i had that was wider then a pen spring and cut off one section and placed it inside the adapter and that worked.

If the carto design reliably works as demo'd on your vids, connector issues seem like they should be easily resolvable.

If I understand the design of this carto properly seems like an extended or widened version that holds more liquid could be manufactured too. It's like an AFS in carto form. Stripping things down the the bare essentials, getting rid of the filler and wire mesh, a coil with a wick suspended in such a way as to draw from a pool of liquid around it... just wonderful in a less is more kind of way.

Happy Birthday!!!! :toast:


Ok so has anybody that ordered between the 12th and 15th received a shipping notice yet?

Not back then.. but mine is also still processing. I hope that it could be a good thing, if they're actually updating the contents of the ones that haven't shipped. Let me know what happened tho, I'm curious, if you find out.

lol, might help if you let them know your screen name here... it appears they're sending orders with some old and some new until they dump the old revisions they have in stock.

I'm hoping to get the new ones, but we shall see. I ordered a couple boxes from Dex at Vapor Junction today just because I'm tired of waiting :lol: I should have those on Saturday.

WitchWay I never got a shipping notice e-mail. I ordered on the 11th and had to check the e-liquid.cn website to get my shipment number and check it myself. Mine shipped on the 19th.

I have the same problem with the connections, but it is not between different equipment but between different 510 mega batteries. I can't figure out what is causing this, but it only is happening with some of them.
Here's my experience for what it's worth:

I have had these E2s for just over a week. They are 510 unfilled.
I normally only ever use 100% VG.

OK, first up, filling these with VG through a needle ain't gonna happen. (It would be easier for a camel to pass through)

So I dismantled one and put some VG in, attached it to my Riva... diddley squat.
Try on an Indulgence 3.7v... Nothing.
Measure with a multimeter... 2.6 ohms. Obviously not dead.
Do the same to 3 others.
Repeat until I throw them in a corner and wish I had spent the money elsewhere.
Follow this thread and get annoyed that others are getting at least something out of them.
Pull them out occasionally and try again... still nothing.
Find a standard 510 battery in my box '0' stuff.
Fill an E2 with PG (yeurgh)
Bang, clouds of vapour, no burnt taste and better flavour than using the same juice on an atty. I also have been dragging on it fairly heavily and had no problems with wicking.

So, my Riva and my Indulgence won't play ball. Obviously they aren't contacting. Haven't had a problem with any other attys or cartos. Does anyone have a fix?

If I can get it to play with my Riva AND if I can get it to use VG (without a lengthy refill process) then I will buy a heap of these. They are producing better vapour than a LR atty on 3.7v but not quite as good as the 6v experience.
At this stage the E2s have a much cleaner taste and better flavour.

PS. just tried it on my 3.7v box mod (don't know why I didn't try it earlier) and it works a treat. I am just dripping my beloved VG into the carto with inner and outer caps removed and getting a lot more flavour out of it than an atty.

Welcome to the club, VPDownunder. I ordered mine from e-liquid.cn and it only took about a week for them to ship. :)

edit: Just checked my order status and it dropped off the EMS radar 2 days ago. It could be anywhere but I'm crossing my fingers for tomorrow.

look it up on usps it should be on there

Hey Witch,

I ordered mine on the 13th or 14th and they're in transit. The EMS tracker has them leaving Shenzhen on the 22nd. So, yeah, I received a shipping notice. I did, however, have to email Aileen to get the notice. Even then, she told me they would ship "tomorrow" and then i had to email again the day after "tomorrow" to actually get the shipping notice and tracking number.

Might be worth an email to her.

What's the normal turn around on a shipment from China? This is the first time I've ever ordered from across the globe.

I agree, hold off a week and let the ones who can afford to test them be the guinea pig like me and others, it seems that beyond all the blunders they made it seems they are trying to improve them, so in a few weeks im sure it will be all proper and then go crazy when the testers here say they are truly ready.

if your willing to be a beta tester then go ahead and get them now since youll get the newest revision.

I'd like to thank all the guinea pigs (badkolo, deadguy. LGD and I'm sure others I can't think of offhand) who have tried these out so far and posted here. It sure saved me and a lot of people the time and trouble to try to figure them out ourselves.

This design has good potential and hopefully in time will be the great carto we're looking for. :toast:
