Hi Raynes!!!!!! Hi Sandy Su?? How's the arm??? glad the poncho works well for you!
Easiest way around the bad taste, which is probably because of primer in them, is to flush them with hot water before filling them with liquid the first time. The primer seems to be a hit and miss situation, sometimes CE3s have it and sometimes they don't. Usually it appears as droplets on the inside of the tank. If she's using a manual battery, a few really quick dry burns will help get them wicking liquid when filled. I usually shake them ike a fever thermometer, mouthpiece down, and then "suction" out the remaining water with the syringe which also helps get them going much more quickly. I may take up to 15 or 20 drags to get them going after they've been rinsed depending on how wet the wicks stay.
Another little hint is to use a hypodermic or sewing needle to make the first puncture through the inner seal. Just use it to make the first puncture and then switch to the blunt needle that comes with the CE3s. SI doesn't recommend that, but I've found it helps lengthen the life of that inner seal. If she's using liquids with a lot of sugar or dark colors, it's also a good idea to rinse them every other fill or so. If she's using lighter liquids they only need to be rinsed when the liquid starts appearing dark. Doing that will increase their useable lifespan significantly.
Hope this helps.
You don't know how relieved I am, Sandy - WHEW!Cindy, thanks for alerting me to it. Yes, it fits, and I like it. The photo made it have a dusty blue tinge, but it's actually charcoal gray, nearly black, which I like even better. I'm sorry that I forgot who recommended it, so now that I know, a big thanks.

I'm with the carto vapers,,,,,
I've tried the others and I don't like the taste, they leak, stop working, whatever,,,,,,,,,,,gimme a carto every single time,,,,,,
I can't taste cotton, and they don't leak, are easy and cheap to use,,,,,,,
I saw an eGo Twist in the engraved dragon pattern that I really want, and with all the new rebuildable clearo and tank style stuff coming out for them, I have to admit that it's been really tempting. Just have to get a job first, then I'll be branching out right there with you! Glad you like your new stuff.

You don't know how relieved I am, Sandy - WHEW!
I was being quiet about it, just in case.
And yes, that dragon batt really is gorgeous.

I made a pitch for it in the Suggestion thread a while back, but I guess it's a no-go for X2s. If I had one of those, I think I could die happy, which I'd probably end up doing since I'd have to starve for a week or two to get one!![]()

wait, wait,,,,,pics of decorated volts???
I WANNA SEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
