At least they don't bombard the market. When they come up with joye stuff, it hits the market and there's time before they slap something else at you. First the booster....then the mod and the add on to toggle between unregulated and regulated and now the twist. If they were like some, the vv mod would have hit the market 2 weeks after the twist. They have everything in place so you know they could have it on the market now if they wanted to.At least they do take the time to test things and let the market settle a little so I'm not a total hater.

I think the reason it took so long to get a better ego to us was they had to control the market a little and take charge of all the rip off stuff that was giving them a bad name.

I might be wrong, but I think these new Joye devices are actually just Joye's own stuff. Janty revoked a subcontractor agreement not long ago, so it looks like the eGo is officially "forked". Both are going to come up with different variations of the design. Right now, it looks like Janty's new products are the ego-X/imist and Neo (and upcoming Mid.. whatever that is). While Joye came up with the mod and twist (and now ecab) on their own.

Strangely, on Joye's website, they list Janty as one of the unauthorized makers. Unless I'm missing something, that's like a kid disowning her parents.

/pointless info, I guess. Back to 808s.. :laugh:

I'm curious of other Phoenix/CE3 users here. Are any of you using the actual 808 threaded ones? I find that these perform significantly better than using a 510 with adaptor. And better than using a 510 on my BB and 510 fat stick. The 510s I got from Got Vapes have an airy draw, on either of those devices. On the 808 versions, it's tight (jn a good way) - and coupled with my 808 cigs, very realistic. I have to draw less to get a decent throat hit. And as I mentioned before, I'm using the regular 808 mouthpieces.. so I guess there's less distance to create a warmer vape than if I used a drip tip.

Can't comment, I only have 510s, but that's good to hear. I would like a tighter draw

If you get any, I'd like hear your opinion. I'm not sure what it is that's making them different. I've taken a screwdriver to the inner ring (the one that surrounds the hole that goes up to the coil), and it seems to make a difference.

soon..... compared to 808s it seems that there really isn't too many decent 510 things until you get up to VV and then you don't have to worry about most of the hardware being garbage. Was going to replace my dying 510 battery with another one and realized I'd still be stuck using 3-4 things in 510 that are good on a 3.7v battery. That's what the 808 is. Simple and reliable and in my pocket wherever I go because I'm free to vape it wherever and it's going to give me what I want. I've fine tuned the hardware that I use with it to absolute near perfection. But if you have a 510 battery, you want it to enjoy at least 10% of the zillions of things that go with it.

I'll get a twist and do some experimentation before I settle on a mod. Hopefully before the FDA or NYS smacks the hammer down

Back to 808s, I was going to try the 901 hybrid carto but somehow got derailed. Should go see if IKV still has it.

So far, I couldn't agree more. I think I've more or less perfected what I need out of 808s too.

I have some 510 fat sticks (they're ok, I guess) and a BB (standard 3.7v). I wouldn't something like a Twist, but I'm so sold on these CE3s that I fear I'd have to get something else with a VV battery. I'm not sure how well it performs above 4v. The few times that I get a fresh battery and hit the Phoenix at 4.2 (off charge), it's great.. but I think the dry hits start coming in soon enough.

I'm hitting my Halo G6s until they cut off at 5 seconds. It's a good vape, but I could use more time than this. As far as I can tell, that's all I need.

I loathe the 5 second cut off my friend, I feel your pain :)

The phoenix will hold up to about 12 watts in my experience, but ONLY with modding

The stock configuration limits me to 4.2 volts max, and that's considering a voltage drop under load to around 4.0/4.1.

On the provari, which never drops a pinch under load (shameless plug) 4.2 is a roast fest

2.4-2.6, but they were reading at 2.2 out of the box, could be part of it. but all over the gotvapes forums this seems to be the consensus

These work great at HV with cotton wicks. Before my nicotine experiments I was running a 3ml tank with cotton yarn at 12 watts like it was a joke lol. Then I had to convert it into a dripping atty for the tests :)

its more a wick hole size issue. you can fix it by enlarging the holes, lifting up the post (which amounts to the same thing), thinning the wicks (increase in effective size of the holes), or using cotton in place of silica (cotton wicks better by far) or cotton + some form of hole enlargement

I wonder if Echo Crystal Visions could benefit from less pinching off of the wicks where they enter the tube...

I rarely use my ce4s but I got a couple working well work well too with the right amount of cotton or bamboo. They don't get sliced like silica when you put the wick in the slits. They soak up the juice rather than wick it. But sometimes you need to let the cotton sit on a filled clearo for 2-3 days. Or deal with dry hits until then. It's definitely not a mod/fill/vape thing.
And you have to be way more careful. If you touch natural fibers they soak up whatever is on your fingers and cling to that flavor for days. I've started a good rotation with natural wick fibers where I have one working right and another in the wings that I don't have to touch for a week or so. And my echomizers are always there for the day they all go kaflooey once.
