No I've had the same 5 going for over a month and they are perfect and unbreakable it seems. Also bought purple 510s that work perfectly with an adaptor.

Gotvapes will be restocking a new and improved (nothing to improve from my point of view lol) version within the next few days, keep your eyes peeled

And the normal sized visions should be just as good. The only vision I have as an Iken vape 2.0 ohm for 510 and its a beast.

Fluxos are better than the Iturbo in my opinion though, because of the random leaks the latter give me. But I'd still go nuts without my Iturbos, just have to be more careful.

Already on their 'notification list' tho. Funny things about 808 stuffs & users, not as much users as 510 but once new item comes up, they are sold out already :p Talking about loyalty, huh?

Anyway, do your iTurbo has a small o-ring on the screwed tip?

yes, you mean on the screwable drip tip? yes there is an O-ring. why do you ask?

and agree with your thoughts on the 808 loyalty factor :) the 808 options are pretty much on par with 510, the only thing that's not is stock levels, but that will keep changing for the better. I personally don't care about 510 vs. 808 squabbles, as Charlz always points out, the battery is just the power.

I use my 808 cartos with a Riva 510 to great effect. It just turns out that for my needs the 808 has been the win hands down.

On my iGo Crystal Vision (which basically an iTurbo with skirt), I found out on one of them, it easily get porous depending on the juice - then small leak occurred. But on the other one I have, it's a good tough rubber - so yeah, on mine, the culprit is the o-ring's material.

On the personal level of 808 & 510: A good 510 auto doesn't exist, AFAIK... I usually bite the tip and work with both hands, so pressing a button is not preferable.

Only use manual to juice drip test.

that's how I was, but the manuals are growing on me. the hit is different. and yeah I only own 510 manuals (two) so I wouldn't be surprised if there were no good autos

so you were getting leaks out of the bottom end of the carto due to the gasket/rubber down there?

FWIW I'm vaping the iturbo without a drip tip on my Echo at home right now, and its SWEET. And no random drops down the center tube so far. I hate drip tips, I really do.

All I want is a mega version of the mouthpieces that come on the volt/halo 808 cartos

that's an interesting leak, never heard of that one! I lost the o ring on one of my iTurbos and haven't even noticed

the mouthpieces I refer to are the clearish/grey guys that come standard on the 808 horizontal coils. Or something analogous. I don't like the narrow drip tip feel in my mouth. I like the wide mouthed feel of the Echo with an Iturbo with no drip tip, like a cigar I guess

So I ordered these Ultimate CE2's, they arrived today. Here's my problem with them: I took out the mouth piece and first O-ring with out any problems. Then there's the white silicone piece, I tried to get this thing out for 30 min, finally it came out, but not before I had it all torn up. I fluffed the wick a little and filled the CE2 up. I put the silicone piece back in there paying attention to the slots and wick position, then the O-ring and mouth piece. I tried the same thing with another CE2, butchered the hell out of that one too. Them tried to put it back together. I couldn't get the white silicon piece back in right. The whole center core popped out the bottom of the cartridge, the juice spilled all over.
So now I'm just using another one with out messing with it. It seems to be working well. Although, I can tell that the first one does seem to function a little better, even with that silicon piece tore up a bit, I havnt noticed any leaking from it.
Anyone else have any problems getting that last piece out, or is it just me?
Other than that I do really like them and don't plan on going back to regular old cartos.

what's VR?

is it high VG?


VapeRite Organic VR4. So delicious.

And it's 70pg/30pg...but it's very dark.

Ironically, my KBV juice is higer VG, I think a 60/40 vg/pg, but it's light and I'm having no issues with it whatsoever.

Words on the e-streets is VR is best for dripping...which is a beast I'll be tackling once I finally remember to order my 901 atty.

Also, the iGo Crystal gave me some issues at first with what I thought was leaking and was kind of gurgly. Began wiping the top off with a paper towel before putting the drip tip abck in...and now it's the best vape I've gotten since pre-filled cartos. (Sidenote: I am the WORST at filling normal cartos...)

I'm currently using an iGo Crystal Vision that's not too bad though. I'm stoked to give this a go round. It's kind of airy though and really noisy...

The way things are going, I might just have to stick to normal Cartomizers...or sadly move to a 501 device.

There are more options with 501 threading, but it's not a bit less frustrating trying to find something that doesn't leak, hits right, and is consistent.

Somewhere on gotvapes (I think it was in the context of the new cryptonites) it was said that bottom coils MUST be filled upside down, and this apparently avoids some of the issues that are common place

I don't own any, so not sure what to make of it

I can't get away from top coils. Love the warmth. They break all the rules of ohms too. 2.0 ohms at 3.7 volts feels like 2 ohms at 5 volts.

As I've said to Charlz, I not only use the Iturbos without the drip tip now, but I pull out all the metal caps too, just 3/4 of the way push down the silicon top seal on the center tube.

More warm, better flavor, no leaks.
