Switch posted that he uses 25% distilled water. Seems like a lot to me. I thin mine before I use it to mix but I do mine at around 15%. I find the viscosity very close to PG at that mixture and have no soaking problems. If I can get weeks of use out of a carto I guess it's not gunking up coils too bad either.
I'm sure he thins it before he mixes so he doesn't lose any flavor.

I have a load of drip tips coming I hope he gets them w/o the tip, it's a lot of $ for something I don't really want. Last week I got some IKV mega 808's and condom filled one like I normally do and thought it was so-so. So yesterday I grabbed a new one and added 8 drops and waited a minute until I got almost 60 drops in and then let it sit about 20 minutes. I'm usually not that patient, it was recommended. OMG it's the best carto I've used to date. BTW I use 70/30 and no problems.

I use the mega 808s too and they are totally the best cartos that I have ever used. They do need to sit for about 30 minutes after filling but so worth the wait. A friend is sending me one of the V2s to try and I can't wait to see if I will actually like them better. I know that they don't hold as much so I will see. I don't want to buy them with the metal tips either so will wait until Isaac has the tipless ones.

BTW- I am using a Clearomizer right now. I have been using it for days and love it.
If you get a cat urine taste you may want to try cleaning it. lol
I cleaned it. But they also leak and like my other E2 cartos they make my juice taste weak or watered down. Allot of people like them but I'm not one. I think someday they will perfect them but for me they are a work in progress. I am happy you are one of the people they're working for though.

These things (Gold V2s) aren't actually all so damn bad so far. I'm shocked. Very good vapor on 20% VG/80% PG Camtel; the flavor isn't quite as deep as direct drip, but by the standard I've come to know for a carto, it's very good. And a free drip tip—a pretty good one, even. At a minimum, I could see driving and not dripping with these.

How much mileage are you supposed to get out of these?

They last me 3 weeks apiece. Now the fusion puts out as much vapor as dripping for me anyway.

Okay I just put it back on and it wasn't too bad. I'm going to have to do something for the weak flavor but it's working pretty good now.

PI the milage will obviously vary from user to user, but it's not unheard of to get 2 or 3 weeks of fairly moderate use from them! I believe I read someone over on Iken's forum say they usually run 20 or 30ml of juice through them before they get funky.

Is there such a thing as cleaning these?

I don't usually bother, if I can get 2 or 3 weeks out of a carto I figure it's done it's job. Every few refills I blow them out over the bathroom sink to get rid of the older juice that collects. You can run hot water through them but it takes forever to dry out since you can't dry burn a carto like you can an atty.

I need some knowledge, Don gave me an advance bottle of BWB Hazelnut. OMG I think this could be my all time Fav. That's the problem, I don't know because I can't keep a carto going. First I filled Plat v2 and not long after I got the burnt taste, the only one out of the lot. Then I filled a mega 808 and no more than 20 tokes and it blows. Today I get my drip-tips 12 tokes and it blows. I think it's coincidence but I don't know. Same voltage as the other cartos use. The juice if anything is lighter than the others. Is it voodoo or just bad luck? And what's the easiest way to tear apart those dead carts to extract that juice. Thanks

I have a prescription bottle with a cord connected to the lid. I have paper towel in the bottom. I take the cap off the juice bottle and put it in the bottom then I place the carto, mouthpiece down, in the juice cap. screw the top back on the prescription bottle and give it a good spinning. then keeping it upright I remove the top, take out the carto and the juice is in the cap.
