Cartoz carts E2's etc. post it here

[Bovinia]

Great info Charlie, thnks. I'm not much for modding but o-rings and slot cutting I can handle! Depends on what the cartos that come with the Liq. taste like to me. I have some boges that I bought from a different vendor when CoV was out...and they taste like sheet! Even my husband (not picky) won't use them. I've never had a problem tasting the filler with the ones from CoV...you'd think a boge is a boge no matter who sells it.

Hairball says that the rim on the Fusions omits the need for a bottom o-ring, and I do love the Fusions too. Glad you found the post 5C, if I decide to try this Liq. then I'll hit you up on instructions on where to cut the slot.

Well the MAP I have is to big for a fusion so I'm goting to have to either pick another smaller one up or just make one. I've been wanting to make one anyway so that will probably be what I end up doing.

I think the Fusions will fit in the Liquidator someone said but building one is very doable with the bottles MadVap sells, I'm just too lazy

 

[5cardstud]

Thanks Rosco but I'm going to make one. I've been wanting to make one with a tempered glass tube anyway so this will be a good reason.

I was just there looking at those bottles. They used to have a tank kit I thought but I couldn't find it. I got a Tempered Glass one I was thinking of. I was going to get a kit from mad vapes to play with while I was building one.

Someone said the cartos that come with the Liquidator are Boges, if so I’m not impressed. I would recommend the Liquidator for anyone who is into cartos, it’s just so well made and does the job, keeps the filler soaked with juice and did mention that it’s well made? Some are talking about using with E2’s don’t get that, you’ll still be restricted by the tube size of the E2 and the effect that has on wicking. The Storm Tanks solve that for the E2’s and are smaller/cheaper than a MAP.
Anyone here working on the SS400 Mesh wicks?
If I wasn’t so lazy that’s what I would be doing.
Here’s Gum-Bear’s VV mod http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/191676-another-gummy-mod.html nice stuff, very cutting edge.
He’s also working on the new Genesis SS mesh wicking atty’s that crazy German, raidy, started everyone who hacks metal doing here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/132663-all-my-mods-part1-11.html#post2098996 . It’s posted somewhere here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/135786-some-homemade-attys-genesis-350.html , I haven’t had time to go through all I missed while down in Mexico. IMHO what these people are doing with the SS mesh is going to lead to a breakthrough that will be BIG for us.
Mike played with that stuff almost a year ago about the time raidy started posting but think decided going into the atty bis was a little much and have to aggree, don't want anything to slow down the VVPV.

Okay KW with both you and Rosco saying they're good I guess that's what I will order.

Order 2 LMAO!! One with a purple sleeve

J/K J/K

 

[5cardstud]

I need to find some juice to put in it. I'm vaping USA mix right now and that stuff is like $5.00 for a 55gal drum me thinks sometimes, me no understand eenglishy.

Night nite Buzz Troups.

You could build one just as good (can’t see it being much better) I’m sure and cheaper BUT here’s something that does what you want out of the box. If you’re going into the shop 5C work on something that you can’t get off the shelf. Have you been following raidy Genesis work and what everyone else is doing with his help? I have high hopes, not enough to get me working on when I'm home but just playing fan boy and getting others into it. We could do a SS400 Mesh order together with some more buzz'ers, maybe that will get me in the shop.

I'm just waiting on my scubagen's right now. I've tried a few different tanks, and can't stand anything with a CE2 in it. I'm a carto person, been using cartos since I started. I've got several atomizers I use when testing juices out, but it's too much to fiddle with them constantly. I primarily use (99% of the time) a kr8, but I have a few ego's and a few 510's floating around. oh yeah, I've got some 808-d2's floating around and a couple 801's.

 

[Pokeygizmo]

I have been using my Liquinator just under 24 hours. Excellent tank -- no leaks, well-made, vapes beautifully, looks sleek and professional. Vapes the same from beginning to end; good to the last drop.

It's pretty much dummy-proof (heh, I should know) and easy to set up. Not messy at all.

Vaporescence's video is a good resource, an easy watch. So much so, that I have slotted both DCs and Fusions, successfully. No small feat, there. Those that know me can attest to that. They both work wondrously on this tank.

Only 24 hours in, I know. But, it has been a great 24.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@ Buzz -- some people find that the 1.5 DCs require a bit of break in before hitting full potential. Not sure if that is the case with the 2.5s as I have not tried those (yet). What voltage did you have it set at when you tested it? And I am curious to hear how it compares to the 2.0, too. Many Thanks!

 

[kwcharlie]

i just ordered some X2 Clear Dual Coil XL 510 Cartomizers (Choose Resistance: 2.5 (+/- .2 ohms)) from Avid Vaper in NY becouse they had G4's. Something new to try. Anyone here tried the G4?

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

With the lip on the Fusions the sliding won’t be as big a problem. I got some o-rings on the rig to play with to tighten it up but it’s not that big a problem IMHO. Oh did I say they DO NOT LEAK.

My findings also; I've not encountered any tell-tale brown spots in my shirt pocket, where I've been carrying my Buzz/Fushion/Liquinator combination. Nor has upward sliding been a problem, although it's possible.

To go along with the video that Roscoe linked, Pokey offered a few pointers on Fushion-slotting elsewhere, reprinted here with her presumed, albeit not expressed approval:

1.) Do not free-hand the Dremel like the guy on the video. It is best to save your hands for other purposes.
2.) A cutting board provides a nice surface to lay the carto on and to prop the back end of the Dremel for additional support.
3.) Too much coffee or too much nicotine causes fine tremors not noticed until you are attempting to slot a carto using unfamiliar tools.
4.) Do use the cap to mark your slot placement. Eyeballing it is not good enough.
5.) Make sure the cap is completely clean and dry. You may think it is, but when you slide it off over the permanent marker lines, they magically disappear leaving little water droplets in their place. QTips are our friends.
6.) A little too high is better than too low on the mark.
7.) The sound of metal on metal is akin to that sound made by fingernails on a chalkboard. Be prepared.

And a note on filling:

I think that the lip on the Fusion is a plus with one hardly-worth-mentioning exception. What it does in the big scheme of things, besides allowing it to only slip in one direction, is force you to fill from the top instead of the bottom. Not a biggie except that getting the top on is a little trickier than with the original carto. I think that the lip shortens the rest of the carto by a hair and it is just a tiny bit more difficult to align it with the top cap hole.

 

[Bovinia]

I'm looking forward to more honest opinions on the 2.0 and 2.5ohm DCs as well. Thank you Pokey for the break in reminder...I had forgotten about that!

Thank you for the great walkthru on slotting the Fusions for the Liq. tank. Can you use a regular drip tip with these or do you have to get the ones they sell with the Liquinator? I guess I haven't quite figured out if the drip tip actually goes into the carto itself.

Doggone it!! Someone's gonna have to pay my CC bill this month...after I get this move over with I'll be too damn tired to stand on the street corner LOL

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

They come with a pretty much generic drip tip, Bov. I replace it with a nicer-looking stainless Super-T, but—obviously—the dripping function is just along for the ride.

 

[Bovinia]

Gotcha PI and thank you! I don't drip but I'm pretty attached to my pink and purple translucent acrylic tips

Might I add a few more insights to my "Dremel Noob" list?

1. The sparks are pretty.
2. The steel shrapnel stings a bit.
3. Protective eyewear is probably a really good idea as is doing this in a space away from
   flammable objects, liquids or gas.

This is not at all meant to insult you experienced, Dremel-wielding pros . Its for the rest of us.

I'll see ya'll in a bit; I have a MD's appointment to keep. My dressings need changing and the opthamologist called and said my new glass eye is ready...

That's me in a nutshell except I'm using Ikenvapes cartomizers. Good to see you MrJag.

Well TANK You very much Pokey for the info on making one of these Fusion Tanks or I guess I decided I'd call it the RUFT.
I just saw my eye doc yesterday and was amazed. I get the stitches out of my cornea in Aug then hes going to remove the cataracts that formed from the transplant. Then he will shape it if it needs it. I was just amazed at all of the things they can do and I thought my vision would be like this forever.

Good question for Mike Pokey. I think that the 2.5 might be just a tad high to get the desired effect.
It would be nice to know which is best before laying out more $ on these. I think the 2.0 might just be perfect
