Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

Its focus? That thread had a focus? Dang, I missed that.

hahaha, clear your mind, think about that thread(s) in general and then think about ... SpongeBob episodes!
I just kept getting visions of SpongeBob and the school of fish people darting around. Now it seems everyone has zoomed off to this Raidy mod thread. (well, except for br... he was too old to switch that fast).

Has anyone actually got one to work on the E2 thread with this method? Do you have any photos or diagrams of it?

YES it works, and it's the best. boil the bottle to get it over the E2 after you cut it with a tubing cutter then a hot glue gun to burn a hole in the bottom and mount the tube left when you cut the E2.
Get a good tubing cutter the E2's are tough

Thanks I actually though br was kidding but seeing it it looks like it would work.

Katya what happened to your Rivas with the LR cartomizers? Did the Rivas die soon right after using the LRS?

 

[Katya]

Several people have claimed good results with this mod. Sure I have a photo of mine. This is a non-spill version. It does not leak when vaped in any position. Katya, please forgive me.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Your Masterpiece belongs in the Smithsonian, Br.

Size is relative.

Yeah, right.

Katya what happened to your Rivas with the LR cartomizers? Did the Rivas die soon right after using the LRS?

Well, the first time, I put a carto on my freshly charged Riva and after a few puffs the battery started blinking. Idiotically, I figured that the battery wasn't charged and I put the same carto on my other Riva. It started blinking, the carto tasted burned... It took me a few minutes to realize that both the carto and the batteries were dead...

Same thing happened with my third battery, a couple months later. Blink, stink and it was over. And those were not even LR cartos--just 2.2Ω. But they clearly had a problem. I don't use them anymore. Too costly.

My E2 is out of its booze bath and drying gently in the warm California breeze. I'll update you tomorrow. Sweet dreams, ya'll.

Undoubtedly a short. Most likely at the connector.

So...

Guess what?

 

[nicnac]

Welcome back.

 

[ImYourSalt]

Thanks!

I spoke to His Highness, Mr Elendil. And he granted me his blessing.

So yep,

I'M BACK!

Only news is that The IKEN cartos, the gold ones with the golden threads, the ones guaranteed not to burn, you guessed it, they burn. About 10-15 drags into a freshly filled carto. Just the regular SLBs I was never fond of.

The Silver threaded (BOGE) cartos from IKEN are a dream! Great flavor, large capacity, they seem consistant. I am getting about 1.5-2 days out of them now. They are definitely more enjoyable then the 3Ω BOGES (sold elsewhere), but don't pack quite the punch that the 2Ω variety does.

It's a good middle ground (though I have no idea what the resistance is on these, and wouldn't be surprised if it was actually higher than 3Ωs!). They are a solid performer.

Feels good to be home!

Hi Katya,

Do you mean you stopped using cartos or the Riva's?

 

[ImYourSalt]

If I may, Katya quit the LR cartos. At least on the RIVA. They are a gamble, and not really worth it when you lose.

(Pretty sure they are safe on other 3.7 volt batteries (mods), but has something to do with the MOSFET or the PCB of the RIVA. I can recall the technical answer... Is there a Dr. in the house ???)

 

[skydragon]

thanks ImYourSalt. I'm ready to give up on all of this. Way too much hassle and expense with equipment failure. Smoking may not get us anymore but the rising blood pressure probably will .

 

[ImYourSalt]

Give up on Vaping? not to go back to smokes, I hope..

 

[zelda]

Welcome home Salt!!! We missed you. It's good you're back . Bit quiet around.

The doctor hasn't been by to make a house call in a while. We may have to send a search team out for Scottbee soon.

Now Skydragon don't give up after all this time. There's always new cartomizers to tear apart and equipment to experiment with. And who knows when the next exciting contest will start!

Thanks Zelda!

I rather like walking around in these boots anyhow...

Do you mean the platinum? Do they also have Silver?

 

[Katya]

All Boge cartos have silver-colored threads. We assume that IkenVape's "Platinum" cartos are made by Boge, even though it's not stated on the website. I made that assumption based on looks and performance. IkenVape's Platinum cartos are rated 2.3-2.5Ω and work fine, taste very clean, but they don't last as long as the standard 3.0Ω Boges sold elsewhere.

Bauways (from Madvapes) are not very consistent, in my experience. Some last a while, others burn right out of the gate.

Welcome back. The "Golden" cartos from Ikenvape are 3.5Ω and they burn because they are hopelessly overstuffed (well, the one I tried so far was overstuffed). They look like bad SLB cartos. However, I ordered some of the old 3.0Ω SLBs from IkenVape and they are very nice, still. The drag is a bit tighter than I would like it to be, but the taste is good and the performance is solid.

Hi Katya,

Do you mean you stopped using cartos or the Riva's?

I stopped using a particular brand of cartomizers because the vendor got a really bad batch. We covered it before in the thread. I (and at least another experienced carto user) lost batteries due to shorts in the blasted cartos. They were not even LR, just bad.

Rivas and eGos are sensitive. Scottbee explained that best here:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/65055-battery-voltages-surprise-23.html#post1220261

Read it and weep.

Having said that, I'm still using cartos on my Rivas and my 900 mAh eGo and have no plans to stop. I'm just sticking to the tried and true: Boge, SLB, AZ Smoke Free. These are the workhorses.

I like the Joyetech cartos but they don't last very long and are a hassle to refill, but the taste, at least on the three-four initial refills, is superb.

I've been experimenting with the E2 R4, I'm almost ready to report... Been awfully busy last week.

Katya!

I'm moving away from the LR's (the mega eGo atty ones, anyway) on the TorneGoRivas too. While I've never had the battery problem mentioned, I've noticed that flavor is suffering.... (took a while but the regular mega eGo attys I have are working fine. Never did have the batt connects falling off that zelda reported - wonder if that was a bad batch....

I'm with you on the Joye cartos as well - good... but a hassle, when there are others not so hard to fill that perform just fine. I got a good batch - well, on the two I tried anyway - of E2 R4 standard size from COV this week. I think it's the batch after the ones you got last week. And I put them in vodka before using and did a dry burn, etc. and so far performing well, with good flavor on a Bart and one on a Wetbox. And I still have my original E2 R? (R2 I believe) on another Wetbox from months ago now! The old one is 2.6Ω and the new one 2.5Ω. I do regular dry burns on those - something I never recommended because I lost two regular attys doing dry burns but I'm now thinking those may have been coincidence - not performing well - why I decided to try it and they burnt out, last leg, yada, yada... but since badkolo's demo, I haven't had a problem and I've been doing it with the mega attys as well with no problem. I'll still drop a lower performing atty/carto in vodka on occasion.
