I did send him an email asking if it was shipped as mine took a long time to come.Although this wasn't his fault as we had some bad snow, it was Christmas and our local Royal Mail had changed its sorting office location. He didn't tell me he had sent it though until I asked, but confirmed within 5 minutes that he shipped it a week before - checked it on parcel when it finally arrived and he was being honest :blush:

You could just send an email, when I ordered mine though he did say it would take him 2-3 weeks before he could ship it as he is building them I think from back-order.

Thanks. Yes, he let me know he was building on back-orders. Said roughly 10 days to build plus shipping. I hadn't heard anything and honestly didn't want to pester him with "Is it done yet!?" questions... It's only been two weeks, so I will just sit tight.

Edit: Just a note, Cetin/Bulli-Smoker now is listing an eGo cone for their A2 atomizer...

Hey Chuck.

I use a fair bit a day, not sure exactly but I would say around 3.5-4ml. I am refilling quite often as I don't have any decent filler material, although some is coming soon. The original filler holds around about 0.9ml although it will probably need replacing after a while (the filler), so depending on what you use will depends on how much it holds. It is slightly bigger than an 801 cart, not by much though, so very similar to that.

At this moment in time, I am actually testing a cartmod I have done on the A2, early hours yet, will give it a couple of days and if it is any good I will post. The mod holds about 1ml, but uses no filler material. An empty A2 cartridge is only big enough to hold about 1.1ml.

Thanks Phear,keep us updated on your cart mod.

I received my Bulli-Smoker A2 today. I am very impressed in this as an atomizer solution. The winding that came pre-installed measures 4Ω by the way. It works OK on my Riva batts, but on my ProVari, it frigging rocks! I have to crank the voltage up a little to get it the way I like. Hopefully can get my next winding down around 2-2.5Ω so I can drop the voltage down.

I don't have enough time with it to see how the wicking is, but so far so good. I wish I had two bodies for it, so I could cut one down shorter and use with a drip tip.

Comparing the ato-miser to this... There is no comparison, other then they both are replacable DIY atties.

Hey Jolly, Thanks for the comparison.If the A2 is anywhere near as good as your hybrid,let me know and I'll order 5 of them.

I think the A2 is crying out for some sort of tank mod. Everything I have tried hasn't worked that well haha. I have run out of filler material so am using a longer wick that goes right up the tube, I am dripping some Joye Cappuccino straight onto the wick and all I can say is... Yum yum :vapor:

I don't think it would be that hard to mod it. You just need the right equipment. You could make the atomiser like a CE2 quite easily I think, just need some rubberised rods and a bung :confused:

Haha, I will leave it for someone with more DIY mechanical knowledge to do, but I think it should be possible to make it like a CE2 extremely easily.

Well, it is just slightly bigger then an 801. The draw is similiar imo. The vape I get with it's current wrap (4Ω) used @ 5.5v is on the cool side, with lotsa vapor. The cartridge if filled, lasts a long time. I have had no issues with wicking, at all. The flavor with the RY4 I am vaping is clean tasting and the throat hit is fairly mild. But this can ALL be changed with a new wrapping IMO, except the temp of the vapor, and remember I am on a VV device, so can change things if I want. IMO, it vapes very similiar to an 801, without ever getting a burnt taste.. which I think comes from the mesh in the factory atomizers when they get to hot/burnt. I have been using the atomizer all week on my ProVari. Fill the cart in the morning, vape it driving to work (45min), during lunch (1 hour), then top it off before the ride home. Get home, top it off with 10 dops or so and use it till I go to bed. Just have to make sure the wick is up in the tube enough to touch the filler and it will pull liquid from it. I don't think about it much any more.

Ps: Chuckie, got my Hybrid together last night and trying to tune in my mesh/kanthal. I am getting nothing but a burnt nasty taste from it...

Picking up my A2 atty from the post office in a few minutes!!! Jolly, thanks for posting your update. I am seriously excited about getting this thing on my SP2. Did yours come in the SS as you requested? I have the standard coming. I saw in another area Drew made a comment about the aluminum being toxic under high temps if it isn't treated. I hope he is just trying to promote his own product, and isn't right about the aluminum A2. Any thoughts, guys?

The base on mine is SS, the tube for the cartridge is aluminum. There is little to no contact of the juice to the aluminum anyways. The liquid is sitting in a cartridge, a BIG one. I use tweezers, pull the filling out, drip the cart about half full, put filler back in, and then drip on that till it's wet. Screw it into the tube, line up my whistle tip and vape. since my main PV sits on end, I have vaped the cart dry a few times.

Now remember, mine came pre-wrapped with a coil that measured 4Ω's. It doesn't vape well on a 3.7vdc device at that resistance (and won't even work on my Rivas). It does great at that resistance on a HV device. So I suggest reading the resistance with a meter. If it reads 4Ω like mine did, you may have to re-do the coil to get the resistance to more like 2-2.5Ω. I plan on doing mine today so I can use it on my eGo devices since I cut a cone to fit it last night. When you start wrapping your own coils, don't get frustrated, it takes practice. If you don't have a multi-meter, I suggest getting one to check resistance after making new atomizers to ensure it isn't shorted.

I just made my first winding for my A2 using kanthal 32guage I got on eBay and just rinsed and torched the wick to clean it and re-use it. Ohmed out at 1.5Ω's. Wow... It runs hot... Works great on my eGo, but for some reason, the A2 is not working on my Rivas. On my ProVari, I can dial down to 3.3v, and it is perfect. Gotta wrap another though as 1.5Ω is to low, so will add more wraps or change to smaller diameter kanthal or nichrome later.

Hey Jolly - You said it is not working on your Riva? Just check to make sure that it isn't the centre connector I mentioned. It does seem to move around a bit and you might need to pull it back down if it has gone inside a bit too far.

I will hopefully be posting tomorrow, some more problems I have found and fixes for those problems. I also received the eGo cone that Cetin is now selling this morning, so hopefully will get some pics of that up also. Still going strong here though, working fine - does anyone have any idea what the filler material is that is provided from Cetin? I have tried a few materials and none of them seem to work as good as the original stuff supplied.

I think I am using the same Kanthal as you now Jolly, I too ordered some from eBay - the seller is jrider12? Works very good, it does seem slightly different from the stuff that Cetin provides, but it is very marginal and I cannot notice any difference when vaping.
