Hey Katya thanks for the info. I did go to theIKenVape website and read some info. Will be trying them all out especially the new KR808. My Ego charger is busted so I won't be atrying the 510s out for a little while.

Don't know what you have or what you've tried on the charger but I had one not charging - a usb quick charger and I took it off line and took a qtip with the 151 vodka (my 'universal cleaner' ;-) and it started working again - since then, I've been taking a qtip to the batt connection 'well' before hooking up to the charger - there gets a buildup that spans the outer ring with the center post.... but you might try that with either vodka or isopropyl if you haven't already....

(how does one break a charger) :?:

No problem for me!!! Actualy the battery connector came right off onto the Ego itself.

Hi Kent Long time no see: Battery connector of the usb cord completely came off.
That's a great tip though - I'm certainly going to do that once I get a new cord. Thanks for the help ::wub::wub:

Oh... that's different :) No amount of vodka is going to fix that. lol

A certain amount of vodka may keep her from feeling so bad about it, heheh.

I wish I had had some vodka to drink after the connector came off.

Health Cabin carries new giant 510 cartos:

7pc 1.6ml MEGA 510D Empty Cartomizer [510] - $9.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

Does anybody know anything about them?

[Thank you, my carto killing friend, for the tip.] :)


Katya,
When you receive the Ikenvape cartos, would you please try the Platinum first? I am most curious about this one.
Thank you.

My pleasure. They should be here tomorrow or on Monday.

Hey Katya thanks for the info. I did go to theIKenVape website and read some info. Will be trying them all out especially the new KR808. My Ego charger is busted so I won't be atrying the 510s out for a little while.

I'll also order a few SLB 510s to see it it's as good as I remember.

I think it's great you can order cartos individually at IKEN - always appreciated that feature on his site.

I have some LR Boges 510 on the way - can't wait to give them a try.

One thing I'm been fiddling around with on the regular E2s is using a 901 whistletip catridge or 510 catridge as a mouthpiece. I take out all the inner rings and and use the mouthpiece. Haven't decided yet whether it's an improvement.

Yeah, I used to like the old SLB 510s. Got some pink ones...

If you need a charger, try WordupEcig.

USB Battery Charger

Free shipping and 15% off with coupon code 'spookey' [sic] on Oct. 31.

I can't warm up to those E2s. I have a box of standard 3.0Ω E2s on the way. Bruce from CoV is a good man; I got XLs by mistake and he took care of it right away. I even found those Lipton pyramid tea bags at my local Target and may try the ptb mod. Br, are you going to be around, just in case? :facepalm:

I mentioned these to Wayne at heaven gifts and he's looking into them. Don't know if he'll carry them though. I'll report back if I hear anything.

Thanks.

I'm right here sweetie. Didn't you say the 3Ω versions did not provide enough TH for you?

Want to go drinking tonight BR? Meet me here at 9. The E2 R4 thread is too public -we don't want to start a scandal.:laugh:
So how did it go last night? Did I miss anything? Inquiring Minds want to know.

From? Let us know what you think about them.

Its all about the filler. Less filler = More breathing = less gunk buildup = better draw = better taste
The material has a big role also. It needs to be fluffy (not dense).
I believe all the fillers are made from the same material (Joye and Ego aside) and just in different density?
We need to demand from our suppliers (so they would demand from their suppliers) to disclose this info to the consumer. I am just getting tired of playing a guessing game with every product that hits the market. I have spent too much money on too many cartos that have ended up in trash.

I want to know what type of filler is used in a carto and how much of it. Yeah right. Good luck.

I got stood up. I must be losing my touch. :(

From LiteCig. I still think the biggest problem is lack of quality control. I get a good box of cartos - then a crummy box - same cartos -same manufacturer -same supplier.

If our suppliers demand from their suppliers specifically what they want, then it would be a step to the right direction.
You are absolutely right about the the quality control. The classic example would be the Tru-Vapors at Vapors etc. Ross went back and forth with his supplier until he got the filler part right. But then the last batch he received was so poorly manufactured that it was unusable. The threads didn't make connection with the batteries, the sleeves were sticking all the way out of the filler. Most of them didn't work and the ones that did work, burned immediately.
But he has learned a lot from this experience and I think when he finds the right contact in China, he will have some good cartos to offer (I hope).

I've tried the LiteCig Boge LR cartos. Very good quality cartos. The filler is the right density but overstuffed (for my taste). Doesn't breath well and soon it accumulates some black powder residue all around the wick & the filler. I think I mentioned it earlier that if they take this carto and reduce the amount of filler, then we have got a winner.
These same cartos at 3 ohms would last for ever and keep up the flavor. But when you step into the LR world, you're introducing high heat requiring more oxygen.
Thats why atomizers can produce clean vape as low as 1.5 ohms.
