CE2 metal 808's

[cthompson116]

Got my pack of CE2 for the 808 and this is my experience so far.

Filled one up with .8ml of juice. Vaped awesome for three or four puffs then started getting a burnt taste. I am keeping the wick wet by tilting downward, but I still get the burnt taste. Also, I'm not sure the best way to avoid leaking. I left two overnight on the table (upside down) without a driptip or rubber hole gasket thingy that comes with them and one leaked out the other was leak free. Some Questions:

1) How do I avoid the burnt taste (Will it go away on its own, sort of a breakin period)
2) What is actually burning. The wick or the silicone.
3) How do I avoid leaking? (I do have some gaskets from old carto's)

FYI: using an 808 regulated at 3.6 volts

Thanks,

Chris

Oh, and Rob, thanks for the grape juice gift

These are not leak proof. And I will say that putting it upside down...is a test but it will probably leak.

The burnt may be a first few hits of break in, or it could be running dry.
You can pull the cup cover up a bit to allow more liquid into the coil.
If you take longer or more often drags, you may need to adjust.

Burning is normally most often the coil burning and lack of liquid.

Any CE2, or CE version may require adjustment if you vape heavy.
Not always the case, but each one may need to be tuned to your
voltage or style of vaping.

Hope this helps

Gotcha. I did some reading on other threads on the burnt issue. I may pull one apart tonight to see if its the silicone burning or a wicking issue. I'll also try the o-ring seal technique that I read about.

thanks man
