I thought about Gumout. It's pretty volatile stuff, exavporates very quickly and probably leaves little to no trace chemicals. Even if I use that, cleaning again with Spray Nine followed by a long vodka soak, with heavy rinses between each step, should remove anything that might be on the hazordous side of things. A quick dry burn after the whole process is just a little more insurance. Spray Nine is safe to use around foods, but you wouldn't want to drink it, LOL.

Reminds of the dude that fomes to my housexand starts spraying some orange cleaner everywhere then drinks it. He always asks how many are you going to buy. I always respond with. Are you going to finish cleanind or leave it to me. You only cleaned one spot. I had to threaten one dude to leave. He wouldn't take no for an answer.

Last timeI had to powerwash the garage floor. Now to mention it, i love using a power washer.

Whenevere i get some gurgling, i roll up a tissue into a point andstick it in the bottom of the post to soak up thecliquid. It has always worked for me.

I usually just wipe off the battery terminal when I notice my vapour production taper off. That seems to do the trick. Its not until the juice level falls to below half that I have an issue anyways.

I do the same. Also I wipe off the battery post and threading. I want to keep it clean and shiny. Is the gurgling from leaking juice or condensation? :blush:

I've found that gurgling happens when there hasn't been an air gap established between juice already in the tank and the incoming juice. And you HAVE to get the existing juice off the wicks. That is acheived by getting the syringe above the juice level (when held mouth piece down) and drawing it out. That will pull juice off the wicks and establish your air gap. After that's done, flick it downward (again, mouth piece to the floor) like it's an old school thermometer (like mom used to do). That will further ensure that gap.

Then fill upside down to right below the wicks.

Good to go.

if by chance, you get a gurgle, during a soft pull on an unattached ce3, dab the thread side with a cloth, attach to the battery and vape pointing the led to the sky for a few pulls. This will burn off the coils and any juice that is leaking.

Has anyone else noticed that the CE3 can leak around the battery post in the threads? If you look at the bottom where the threads are and the battery post is, on the CE3. I can see mine leaking there around that white seal. I cant see any liquid dripping down the air hole but it definitely looks like its leaked around the seal after cleaning it and leaving it sit. Its not a problem if it drips from the air hole onto the battery post as I usually just wipe it periodically.

Anyone else noticed this?

I've never had one that seeped liquids but a few that failed catastropaclly by leaking almost dry immediately after a fill, ususally caused by a bad inner seal. I think they could seep like you are describing if the center post in the CE3 is not seated tightly enough against the seal between it and the base. The problem here is that if it's seated too tightly the center post won't contact the battery. It becomes a balancing act to get it tight enough to seal and high enough to make good contact. As a rule, I never screw anything on a battery tightly, just firm enough to remove any wiggle.

Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it, your results and mileage may vary, no warrantee or guarantee is expressed or implied.

I've never had leaking in this area.
What you may be seeing is the condensation left on the battery terminal and inside of the CE3's base due to un-vaped vapor.

I've cleaned it out and it gets juicy again so I doubt it. It's possible that it is leaking down the air hole and just dripping into the threads, hard to tell. I've never had it completely empty on me but it definitely sprung a leak here.


edit: Yep, its seeping juice again. I think this ones a write off

being the cheapskate that I am, I'd take the barrel and air tube off, turn it upside down and give the center post a light tap to reseat it. You might be able to rescue it.

i don't have much luck with the ce3s on my x2 650's auto or manual,they give a burnt taste after a few vapes.
so i mainly use them with my 78mm's.


i have changed my mind on this statement.....i have put my 78's away for a rainy day and i am using my X2 650's both auto and manual.

i am also ordering a couple 808 t0 510 adapters for my X2's.......there seems to be alot of T3's out there,and i am gonna get me a couple Nov. 2nd.

i will be ordering a couple more manual X2 650's,,i just can't bring my self to make the leap to the EGO VV type PV as i have so much invested in my Volt products.

Larry, on your X2, the cone threads are eGo and the smaller "carto" threads are 808. 510 is a completely different animal and is normally the internal female thread on an eGo batt which has external male eGo threading. How's that for confusing? Your X2 will thread directly on some eGo threaded products (see mr outlaw X2 vid on youtube) while others may require an 808 to eGo adapter. To make life a whole lot easier and less expensive in the long run, you're probably better off waiting on the SI T3. That way, you'll know for sure that everything "goes together" as intended. And, let's face it. You just can't beat the SI CS if problems arise.

i thought a ego was 510 threading .........is there a difference?

it did not answer my question or i am dense,does Ego's have 510 threading?........or where can i get a 808 to Ego adapter?

don't worry about putting up another vendors website........The ECF is a information forum......we cross thread all the time on the ECF..

The eGo battery: yes most have both on the same battery. The delivery system: no. The delivery system is normally one or the other. Google 901/808 to eGo adpater and you'll find tons of suppliers. Or, see the link referenced by WorksForMe in post #174. We're lucky with the Volt system in that any Volt battery will work with any Volt delivery system. Some combinations may look clunky, but it surely makes life a lot easier.

If you follow the link in my last post, Trainguy gives a link to the adapter he uses. Ego batteries and X2 batteries have two sets of threads. Ego batteries have the larger ego threads and the smaller 510 threads. X2 batteries have the larger ego threads and the smaller 808 threads. It would seem like an ego threaded T3 would fit on the ego threads of an X2 battery, but won't. Because of the way it's made internally the threads don't engage. An adapter is temporary solution at best. It won't work with auto batteries.
