75W Vaporesso TARGET 2 VTC Kit with Ceramic cCELL Coil

[Equality 7-2521]

Sintered porous ceramic experiences a condition known as Thermal Shock that results in structural degradation. It happens when the ceramic is heated unevenly. This structural degradation is further compounded when a heating coil is sintered inside of the host ceramic.

Basically, the metal coil expands and contracts with temperature change at a much higher rate than ceramic (which hardly expands and contracts at those same temperatures by comparison). So the heated and cooled coil (during vaping conditions) is constantly destroying the surrounding ceramic at a microscopic level, breaking the structural bonds that contain the negative space of it's porous structure. When that happens, filamentous crystalline shards become presently free-floating in the ceramic. This condition increases the deeper the heating coil is sintered inside the ceramic wick.

Now add the hydrodynamics of eliquid through the porous ceramic wick. The liquid passes from the outside of the ceramic wick, through the negative space pores, "washing" the free-floating ceramic particulate directly to the hollow core of the coil head, where it is exhausted with the vapor into the lungs of the user.

Of course none of this can be "seen" happening on a macroscopic level, giving the illusion that the ceramic is still in pristine condition and appears to be "safe". There are also no rock solid lab results on this exact use of these materials (especially considering the new-ness of such a creation), but the physics of these conditions are definitely real and provable, and have been studied and documented.

A simple test can be performed to check for this condition:
Determine the pressure required to crush a new (unused) ceramic coil.
Then determine the pressure required to crush a well used ceramic coil.
If there is any difference in required pressure, then the structural integrity has been vastly compromised and it's unsafe for use.

Here's a simple thought experiment that correlates to ceramic wicks with embedded heating coils.
1. Take a raw egg in it's shell.
2. Microwave it.
3. Clean up the mess

The egg shell represents the ceramic wicking material. The egg yolk represents the metal heating coil and ejuice. The yolk expands at a far greater rate when quickly heated in comparison to the shell. The shell is brittle and doesn't expand at the same rate as the yolk.
Regardless of the ceramic formulation used in these coils, thermal shock and material expansion are conditions that cannot be denied, and are huge causes for concern in regards to the safe use of ceramic coils.

Do you think the same thing happens when you use the ceramic wicks in gennys like the fc-2000, do you get the same concerns of inhaling these small particles of AO, and is it really actually dangerous to inhale small particles of AO....

The cCells worked in my Melo 2. Even if it is used and not performing well, you could try the other cCell to see if it makes contact and works in your Melo 2 the same as it does in the Target Tank.

A cCell is slightly taller than a Melo 2 Head, so I had to screw the tank together pretty tight, but they worked for me.
.

I'll give it another try, then.

 

[greasegizzard]

I have a question that is solely because I am curious. What happens if you connect via USB when the battery is below half? Does that solve the glitch or does it continue to misbehave?

Tried this just a few minutes ago. Glitch stayed on the sceen. It showed a little bit of the battery % for a few seconds on the part of the screen that wasn't glitched. Then the battery % jumped from 25 to 100. I unplugged it then.

It's working now. I played around with diffrent levels of snugness between the cCell and the whole tank. I was putting the cCell in too tight and then when I tightened the top on, it made the cCell tighten even more and ground out, I think.

Glad you got it figured out.

Is there a master list somewhere of whats compatible with what? hehe

Those we know of so far:

Melo 2
iJust 2
Atlantis
Herakles
Heatvape Ecotank
AnyVape Fury Tank​

Basically, anything that can use an Atlantis Coil Head.

You can add the iJust 2 tank as well.

so we sent back 1 out of are 3 Targets first 2 came from longhorn vape. We ordered it 3 weeks before Xmass. They were the best price i could find in the SS kit, we liked them so much we ordered 1 more from Vapenw in rose gold after the new yr. the tank is cut a little bit different but hardly noticeable. The one that went back had the screen glich and would get hot. We were using the Samsung 25r. I want another one target but giving it a bit to see if something like a V2 or updated one comes out. I'm using a rx200 and the 2nd kit I gave my mom to help her get off her Pallmall .... sticks. When I do get a new one I will more then likely run the cCell in a Triton 2 tank.

The reason that Heaven Gifts still shows the Vaporesso Target items on Pre-Order is that they are waiting for Full Production models. Nearly everything you will find is a Sample, if not everything.

Thanks! Don't know why that one didn't come to Mind. I edited to add it.

It jumped to 100% and stayed there? That's definitely not right. On USB it should show the percentage of battery life and the 4 battery bars should cycle from whatever the current level is to 100% and keep cycling until the battery is fully charged.

Sorry about the blurry picture. I am pretty much over this Note 4's camera shenanigans!!!

Oooo! I have not yet seen a rose gold one in the wild. Would you mind posting a picture of it? I would be ever so very grateful.

I'm on a phone looking at your pic and it looks pretty decent to me. ...

Thanks, Dave! It should be a lot sharper than that, though. The camera (or the app) is wonky on my phone. Drives me nutz.

Yeah, I didn't leave it plugged up once it did that.

I'm digging that white and orange.

I'm digging that white and orange.

It does look pretty cool. Mine is a black one with reddish orange accents.

[jacoviii]

I have the "rose gold" It is not. It is not like I had hopped I the pics it looks like the base coat is stainless steel then with a rose gold coating but it is not. It is a rose gold powder coating. it's pink.

 

[jacoviii]

Here's the pic again

 

[cooladdict]

Here's the pic again

I LIKE it! It's definitely pink, but a metallic pink. If Vaporesso decides to upgrade the tank, I am pretty sure I am going to need a metallic pink setup, too!
