I watched that one,a LOT. I broke 2 perfectly good cartos. I'm not too willing to keep breaking them. If anyone else finds a method that works let me know

After getting the plastic tube loose do this... first unscrew it from the battery. Use a flat-head screwdriver that will easily go into the tube but large enough to reach both sides of the third ring. Hold the tube in your non dominant hand and insert the screwdriver tip into the tube at the 3rd ring end. Push the third ring down the tube with firm but gentle pressure. It should come lose with little problem. Hope this helps.

So far I like these. They work much better than previous versions. Probably because the wick is longer.

That is exactly what I did(except I used a crochet hook)and it worked. Now I guess I have to wait for the giantmizers to come up.since almost 2mls doesn't last my husband 3hrs at work. I still think he's drinking the juice

For those of you having problems with getting them apart, pay attention to where you are gripping them. If you are holding them in the wrong spot while wiggling them or you are pulling straight out, the metal tube will detach and/or you could rip the coil off. Notice how in the video he tells you that the plastic tube is actually pretty durable? Well it is! When doing your wiggling, keep a tight grip around the part of the tube that the last seal is in because then you'll be keeping the seal stationary while you're only moving the cup part.

Just in case you missed the tutorial here it is again, You should watch the whole thing to make sure you do things without breaking them.

YouTube - CE2 Clearomizer Easy fill plug & Tube removal How-to Gotvapes.com

Although I have not cut my wicks at all. they seem to work fine the way they are.

I tried that before my fifth fill up, I did exactly as the video indicated ie wiggling near the base where the silicone o-ring is but, when I tried to put it back together the silicone o-ring became looser and it sagged. Every time I put it back the o-ring sags and gets caught in between the metal and clear sleeve, it wouldn't stay in the notch where its supposed to be sitting.

I don't know if my liquid reacted to the silicone, or the silicone they put in there is just sub-standard that its not supposed to be opened in the first place. The later being more feasible since it is a disposable item, which is not supposed to be tampered with in the first place.

Good thing I have 3ml syringes lying around, put one on and I'm vaping away again.

Gotvapes will be selling the tubes, according to their thread.

I may be one of the guilty ones that did not send extra money for shipping. Can anyone look at the spread sheet and tell me. The fact that I did not get a tracking number tells me I did not send extra. Now, before everyone hates me, about a week or a little more back, I sent Crimmy an email letting him know I wanted to help, and would send $20, when I read that he had to put his mod up for sale. I also asked him how much he wanted for the mod. I asked for the email address for Paypal, and did not get a response.

Can someone give me Crimmys paypal email address via PM>

Thanks

I do not have my cartos yet as they were sent standard shipping, and I am in California. Looking forward to playing around with these when I get them. I supposedly got the 2.6 to 2.8 ohm. I hope they work good on my ego.

Thank you again to Crimmy for the Coop.

I got mine a couple days ago and so far they are great!!!! :2cool:

They work fine straight out of the package imho. I enhance them a bit though: clip the wick-notch on the 3rd seal (to enlarge it), cut the wick into 3 strings per side (increase wicking), and burn the wick with a torch lighter to get that residue off faster. I am very happy with the cartos.

Thanks Crimmy

Rowdy :vapor:

Still waiting here too, not very patiently either. I really don't understand how only a few didn't get delivered, unless there is some kind of problem. Oh well I have decided not to panic until Monday:laugh::oops:

Im believe many got the priority shipping. I only ordered like 15 so im fine with standard shipping in an envalope. I too have been quite impatient! But alas, I will have to keep my patience hat on for at least a few more days. It's good to hear that I am not the only one still waiting.

Wow this is bizarre;I got mine Monday and my 3 boxes were sent 1st class too! I really don't get how the PO sends things as I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and have gotten items from the east coast,the northern states too in 2 to 3 days tops.Anyone have any inside info on how shipping is done ;I'm really curious now.
