Jeez they're out already!? I take one visit to the docs and set these to a max of 5 a piece and all are gone?? Haha I have 4 left on reserve ;) I'll go through these orders and set a max of one-two from the reminders lol

HI Blueberry! Did you get my email? I sent it from my phone in the dr. office. Sometimes it can be tricky.

I did Isaac, thanks again!

Hmmm, all the other ones are metering at around 2.0 ohm... Are you sure?

No I caught that too. What a dope I am. I mistakenly put 3.2 Ohms which is an error. I meant 2.2 Ohms but took my meter and tested the 0 Ohms and it was adding .2 to my setting. I have edited my post to the true and correct findins. I'm sorry Isaac Please forgive my stupidity

Hey Isaac, ol' buddy, ol' pal. I'm a 901 fan myself. I'd love to try one. I'm curious as to how you engineered a 901 air hole on a carto.

That part is borrowed from the 901 series. The filling my good man is a new type of material that we're playing with. Super squishy, very absorbent, fire ......ant, and delivers to all the right places on a constant. Switch is going to have a blast with the dissection.

Dang, don't say that my good man. The Caramel Tobacco carto is tasting funny. The BBM is still rocking strong. Should I do an autopsy now? 3 tanks and it is moist but it goes back to VG liquids. Folks need to listen to my experience when it comes to 100% VG, I think I have a failure. But man did that boy delivered when it did. The bating shows a slushy, but it is not getting to the coil???

A carto = 1 refill, anything else is bonus. I am happy. Liquid = performance. not the distributor.

Hmm You know how I feel about VG 100% in carto's Switcher, I look at it as a written destiny for failure. the stuff is just too thick and really bruises batting, not to mention the suffocating build-up. Rip it apart my good man. Your going to be surprised what the insides of this beauty looks like. I wish to make more cartomizers like this one, but we're going to have to take heavy VG into account. It's definitely being recorded, Thank you :)

Your welcome Isaac. It is my job to help you develop the best dang product that will satisfy most vapers. That being said when it come to equipment longevity, I believe I have that area covered. VG liquids are responsible for allot of dissatisfaction wrt perormance/longevity. This needs to be known IMO. The caramel tobacco is diluted with ethyl alcohol from Bluemist. It performs well in attys and I have no problems with it. In cartos on the other hand, not so much. In all honesty the only cartos I have had luck with (for along time) is lquids of my own making.

Folks this is not a knock on a great product. I hate when I see folks knock a product because of the liquids they use. I have been a proponent of this for quite some time, and again in all honesty folks are not about to get me to change my opinion.

Recently one member posted <<I'm not about to change the liquid I vape to use Isaac's cartos>> That statement is cool, but then again do not complain :)

That being said, I will help anyone that is in a similar situation as I am to extend the life of their equipment. They need to be willing to listen though.

I will not change my feelings with regards to these. They are winners.

I just got these on Friday, so sorry for the late input.

1 of mine died instantly on my Buzz. I do not know if it was DOA or if I killed it. I was set just under 5V.
My 2nd sample produces amazingly clean flavor for a carto. Absolutely no cardboard undertones. This new filler seems to absorb liquid slower than the old stuff and it seems not to last as long, but it is really good flavor and vapor production.

It dries out a bit quicker than an 808. When it is full, I get a drop or two out of the air hole when I pop on a drip tip. No big deal for me as I started out with 901 atty's, so I'm used to it.

Overall, these cartos have amazing flavor. I think the learning curve may be a bit steep as I only was able to use one of them. I will definitely try them again when they are back in stock.

Oh yes my friend, you are deadly accurate as always. I realize now that many folks are gravitating towards VG whether allergic or not. VG has developed such a great hype to the point where it honestly scares me. Yes, these things been around and in use since 2005, they have been tested over and over again. BUT high concentration of VG inhaled into the lungs hasn't. I want to make these products safe on VG and the only thing I can think of is tank formations. However I would be condoning the true "unknown" As a business man, I want to change products to match what the populous is now using, but the person in me is saying to stay away from it. I know YOU specialize in your brews and Know how to ration as do a good amount of our friends here, but the majority definitely does not as they will buy and inhale anything labeled 100% VG as a standard practice.

Hey Doc! I got your email and I still got nothing but Love for you my man. I totally understand what a hectic schedule your running. No, not imagine, I can't even fathom at that! Your a good man Doc, in every way shape or form. Never forget that. What voltage are you at? I really wanted to include a good letter with this batch as they are only intended for 3.4-4.2V. When I receive more, please let me know so we can take care of that one.

Well an autopsy was conducted on the dearly departed @ 08:28 A time.

901 had and led a good life always providing folks with many hours of enjoyment until clogged arteries led to his early demise.

During his life, 901 always exercised caution and never went over the 3.7 speed limit. Good reason for this he only had a 2Ohm engine. Over revving the engine is a sure way to failure. Nonetheless, the owner used the wrong fuel in this particular engine which led to premature failure.

The design characteristics of this engine make the fuel used critical. Unlike most atomizers where the coil is in a vertical position in the centre of the batting or at the top, this particular model has its engine sitting comfortably at the bottom of the atty, which makes sense as normal gravitational pull will ensure it always gets a good fuel supply. It this case the viscosity of the liquid did not permit the natural forces of nature to provide sufficient liquid to the engine and insufficient cooling cause scorching of the thermal barrier.

It is my learnt opinion that liquids with a greater viscosity be avoided in order to extend the life of this cartomizer. Improper wicking and cooling at the heat source will induce overheating of the thermal barrier at the coil. This localized overheating cause the material to plasticize at the source, further preventing any liquid transfer to keep the engine cool and operating at its optimum performance.

Cause of death... poisoned by VG. The authorities are now on the look out for a polar bear?
