Couldn't answer what they are using for wicks but the new refers to the fact he has done 3 videos on dry burning the CE-2's.
I do know that the dry burns were done on the pre-ceramic versions of the cartomizers.
Switched, PM me your details and I will mail a couple of the ones I have to you for testing.
If you want to wait a little I have a order in for the new ceramic version and could send you one of each(old and new), I will have both the 510 and the longer 510 XL for the new ones.
All the best, Happy Vaping,
Wing.
Wing,
I appreciate your generous offer. At first I was going to pass on it because the marketing never struck my fancy (transparency). After seeing the various reviews on them to include several videos, my original doubts were substantiated and I am glad I originally passed.
However, after some reflection I will indeed take you up on your offer for the sake of reviewing them, and provide my honest opinion. They will have to be the bees knees for me to change my mind though, but as always, I will provide an accurate review of these puppies.
are you saying dry burning is bad for attys or carto's or both? I recently lost a 510 LR atty while I was dry burning
It was the original LR atty I got from HV and have been primarily dripping with it. It worked wonders the first few times I did it (atty performed like new). I don't think I popped it though as I was VERY careful making sure it never turned "white hot"... my other method that I sometimes married with dry burning was
Cozzicon's technique with Iso Alcohol (post 3). I know life of atty's vary and I was a bit dissapointed with it only lasting 3 1/2 weeks
drippping with a standard 510 atty is totally underwhelming
the search for vaping nirvana continues.........
Yup! I seen the vid and yes I employed a similar technique in the beginning. In my experience it provided marginal results at best and therefore gave up the hassle. Let me expand...
There are a lot of factors in play wrt how quickly an atty fouls up and or fails and they have all be mentioned before:
- juice viscosity - a heavily VG ladden liquid will diminish the life of an atty as it doesn't adequately provide sufficient cooling effect to the coil;
- flavours - heavily flavoured, artificially coloured or sweet juices will increase the build up of gunk exponentially;
- taking long hits, some folks are taking 7-10 second hits. During these sessions although seeming insignificant, will cause "gunking" in the latter stages of the hit. Prolonged use in this mode exacerbates the problem;
- not allowing the atty to cool between hits;
- not keeping the atty wet;
- vaping the atty in a flooded condition, the latter is actually worst for the life span of the atty than it is to vaping a cart or atty dry;
- operating the atty outside of its intended limitations imposed by its own resistance. e.g using an atty outside of its design specifications (read LR); and
- the use of HV and XHV and not combining/matching the atty to the voltage.
... but folks do not want to hear that.
If you are talking about low resistance attys only lasting 3.5 weeks, hey that is cool. You had 1.5 week bonus. Yes the odd one will last longer, but there is a lot of BS out there, and hype. You will come to find this out with time.
where did you order the new C-E2 carto's from? the ceramic version specifically? I'm eager to hear how these work and hopefully they will live up to the hype so I can find a solution for my long commutes...
... a solution would be the eGo mega carts and attys. Although I am not a fan of these as they vape as an 801 versus the "eGo" vape, they will last your commute both ways. They hold 2ml 44 drops (I prefer 40, a little less wet in the beginning).
Ed,
You are searching and not finding. This is perfectly normal. You are going through "cigarette" withdrawals. What mg are U vaping at? It may be too low. Are U vaping any tobacco flavours? They help! Hey, you might of actually graduated to HV vaping, who knows. Skiped a couple of classes by starting with LRs, which as you know equates to 5V vaping. Get yourself a simple 5V box mod using 3Ohm SLB attys which will put you at 8 watts vice your current combo of 6.4 watts (when atty is new).
Bartleby a quality mod at a more than reasonable price.
FWIW, yes I use LR occasionally, but I am not a fan perse. Voltage and matching resistance is key as we discussed. The latter is not my opinion but that of some serious folks "modders" out there who have indeed found the solution, which is 3.7V constant with an atty/batt combo that produces 8-9 watts.
When I look in my crystal ball I see stacking batteries will become a thing of the past. Don't get me wrong, I do vape HV but with lesser frequency. Many vendors have indeed been working heavily in modifying the heart of vaping, the atty. The latest the Cisco LR 306 or the entire IkenVape SLB line. The bar has been raised and we (the community) are not doing the limbo.
WRT the CE2s, liquid doesn't flow uphill very well. Yes I understand the shoe lace principle, it works great for a constant reasonable demand, whether it be used for watering plant seedlings or used in a oil lamp, consistency in demand is the key, and something us vapers do not provide with our demands.
