Are you calling me old ?

No, not old. Here is what Wikipedia has to say.
In honorary titles: It may also be bestowed as an honorary title to a pioneer in a particular field.
So I guess that makes Mike the God father. You are El Segundo. "the second"

5CS...I filled my second one and vaped it way down and had zero problems...It was excellent...I refilled it and it started getting wonky...not wicking...not producing vapor when it did wick...I vaped it down pretty far and parked it...Since I had put my 808 back on I pulled out an SLB 901 and have dripped for the past couple of days...I've got a couple of Iken 901 HVs that I'm saving for a special occasion...Whatever that may be>>?? With Fusions, Megas and 901s being hassle free...Well I tried. The Flux IMO is getting there...I feel a bigger cartridge with a bigger wick and an easier fill method are needed....Maybe a easier fill would eliminate the need for a bigger cartridge..I''ll wait for Issac's version...

That's right, He is working on one huh?

The other guys are fantastic; I'm just old. Supposedly, wisdom comes with age, like the wisdom to treat another's politics with care and respect, as though it's a glass beaker filled to the brim with nitroglycerin.



El Dee, is that a UK site? Never saw that one before. Lots of cool stuff, like this:

I don't really care about the cartos, mind you—I don't understand why you guys go to such pains to get a carto to work right, when you could just get a drip tip and be done with it—but the leather holsters & stuff I've been unable to find anywhere else.

Beccause we like to picck up our PV and puff. Not have to drip every ccouple seconds. We like cartos allot better now we just have to perfect it to the primo carto. That's why the Map was made. It increases the amount of time between fillings. I drip now and then but there's just too much drama involved to do it all the time. That's the nice part of it though. Each person has their favorite way of vaping and it's great however you do it.

I've been using them (the cartos that is) since Thursday almost exclusively and I am a hardcore Ikenvape/Cisco dripper. These things have really impressed the heck out me. I'll probably still end up dripping at home but these cartos are so good you won't regret using a carto when you are out and about.

I was having the same luck until about day 4. I got the juice in the mouth part fixed and I'm starting to think maybe the flavor is still okay. I think the difference is that the fusion just enhances the flavor of juice instead of the Clears diminishing it. I still get plenty of taste and, as a hard core Ikenvape carto guy as you put it, I still think these are great ccartomizers. Those E2 V4s I hated them. They were like vaping unflavored juice.

I'm still waiting for my drip style cartos from Iken. I'm not a big dripper either.

Fran I use them like any other cartomizer. I never could figure out dripping with a carto. He should have them soon. He's been having supplier problems too like Buzzkill has with machinists.
This darn keyboard, almost every time I hit the cc on it it put's two cc's down and I have to go back through and remove the extras.
Son, good tunes.

    I've never understood the concept of dripping with a carto either. I ordered some because they're supposed to be better.

    Hey all,
    George Straight says "that damned ole mirror doesn't always tell the truth. It can't see whats deep inside"....etc. So I say we are all young souls, if you think about it. We just have a little more experience than the young ones do.:)
    5card,
    I tried and am using those clearomizers from volanco ecigs. I didn't like the shorter ones as well as the xl ones. Have to let them sit about 20 mins to get good flavor but the vapor is nice. They are easy to fill too. I use a 20 gauge sharp needle instead of that dinky plastic one they send with them. Don't know how anyone can use those. I had a little leakage on the short version but not much. Second use corrected that.
    If you order them, since they are in Hawaii they charge a tax, but it isn't much. And they say they are version 5 as opposed to cov saying version 4. Suppose to have better wicking.
    :)

    I have to admit I'm highly prejudiced. I tried several different cartos starting out. After the 3rd degree burns in my lungs and on my throat & lips had healed, I took up dripping and never looked back.

    You never found the right cartos PI. There's a big difference between them. I drip sometimes. I use HV901s, 801s and HV306 attys for dripping but those darn IKV 510 V2 Gold Drip Style cartos and the IKV 801 Fusion cartos are damn near flawless. The flavor in those is clean and smooth and the hold about 30 to 35 drops. Now, if he could just keep them in stock we'd be all set.

    Haha man. I was vaping 6 volts with a carto and it blew my mind and the cartomizer too. But for like the brief 3-6 seconds it was intense.

    Besides that, on some level using a cartomizer is too much like driving a Harley Sporster with an automatic transmission.

    LOL, I drive a 2003 Hyundai and I love my good old dependable boge cartos.

    Son Et, I tried my chuck at 6v when I first got it. I didn't blow my carto but I thought it had blown the back of my head off! That was the day I discovered I should have bought a Buzz instead and ordered it the next week :)

    You're right. All sold out. And the gotvapes Flüxomizers—even the pink ones. You try and open your mind and look where it gets you: everybody's sold out. Dammit.

    Yeah I'm STILL waiting to get to try the 801 fusions and the 510 drippers. Someday I will have a few to play with. Finally lol.

    But really I'm not in too big a hurry. Dripping on this IKV 306 with my new Buzz is sweeeeet.
