Hi guys! This past week I have been tinkering with my ce2 r4 cartos. I had broken the rubber tipped syringe filler when I was in the Rockies in December so I had not used them since as I had no way to fill it. So I started doing some research. I removed the wick inside and did this mod with the lipton pyramid tea bag. The video shows it on a different type of carto, I think it's the revision 3 version (not sure though) but I did it on my version 4 and it worked like a charm!
With my r4's, they have a grommet inside and then another grommet that had the two holes in it for filling. I removed both grommets, and the top piece, cut the wick out, then I boiled the crap out of them because the coils were black. I used this video to show me how to dry burn the ce2 r4. It took me 3 times of boiling and dry burning to get it to look white and the coil back to silver. I also had to use a sharp little tool that I took out of my manicure set, and scraped the coil to get the carbon stuff off. You have to do this every so delicately if you dare try mess with the coil or you will break your carto. So use this scraping method with caution! It took me a whole afternoon to do this but the coil now burns red.
When I added in the teabag down the sides, what I did to fill it was drip down the side of the carto without having to use a needle, and it soaked right into the pyramid teabag. I realized I will never ever have to use a needle again to fill these! Then I put the rubber grommet back on, without the middle grommet. I used the one that had holes in it for filling, and turned it upside down from the way it was positioned in the carto when I took it out and it does not leak. I got the idea from a video to turn it upside down but can't find the video. Now the test! Does it vape?
OMG! This is a vape machine! The taste is absolutely amazing and I am now using these and have put my smart carts away. I am just thrilled with this teabag mod, thrilled with the fact I can fill this thing now by dripping down the side, and only have the one little plug to use instead of 2! This works guys! If anyone wants to resurect a ce2 r4 that has been collecting dust, try this out. It is amazing!
I know there was some talk about the antibacterial spray used on the wick which would cause a gross taste. Now that the wick is gone and replaced with the pyramid tea bag, the flavor is so intense! And no more worries about yucky burn gross taste!
