Crimmy's Flashlight Collectors Group

[316lvm]

Last I saw he was having internet problems or something.I sure hope we weren't in this mess at JFK !

Thanks Raider Rider - I know that he doesn't have internet connection at the moment. That's what worries me is that he doesn't know and can't check on the shipment. Hence, the tracking number. Maybe I can find out if it's our shipment.

Oh no! This isn't good. I was hoping that my two attys would last me until these came in. I hope they aren't delayed very long. I might just have to scrounge up some change for a couple more attys just to be on the safe side.

I hear ya JTman. This order would have put me ahead of the game. Luckily I've got some extras. If you need a HV510 or HV901 atty - shoot me a pm and I'll send one to ya.

Got another email from Kevin a few minutes ago with tracking numbers. It looks like one of them says it was sorted though New York and now is in Atlanta GA. The other tracking number still says its in NY. It looks like, at least, One shipment made it though, hopefully the 2nd tracking # will update soon.

Got the same email hope both packages make it through.

You all know Crimmy's in the middle of the big ice storm down there in Georgia, right? That's created some complications for him. It's cool that he's gotten to a computer he can e-mail you guys from. He's a great guy.

Just checked my email from Kevin.
This is for Kevin:

Sent you a reply. On the off chance that you don't get my email, I'm posting here.

First and foremost, you need to take care of you and your wife. That is the most important thing.
Do what you need to do, the rest can wait.

Second, if there is anything I can do to help, let me know. If I can help pitch in with this coop - ie. printing out mailing labels, padded envelopes, whatever, I'm here.

I know without internet service and power, it's hard keeping in contact, but maybe we can figure something out.

Keeping you and your wife in my prayers.

Fran

Me too! I just found this thread. I didn't recognize the group by the title. Took me awhile to put 2 and 2 together on this. We will have them soon. I can't wait!

Just to give you all somthing to look forward to. I have filled 10 of these clear Ce2's and they vape nicely. You will need a syringe and 20 to 22 guage needle to fill these, or you can take them apart to fill them by pulling out the 2 or 3 rubber pieces on the mouth end. I would recommend reading the GotVapes thread. There is a lot of information on the development of these, and their pros and cons. So far I am really enjoying these. What is awesome is they did not use any primer liquid, or soldering flux inside the tank. I will say there is a bit of a wicking issue that can be resolved, or minimized if you just lift the cap off the ceramic cup a little just to give the wick a little more room for liquid to pass through.

The coil has also been wrapped a little looser that allows for a bit better wicking. I do not find them to have a leaking problem as long as you dont lift that seal up too much.

I also know they will be working on rectifying the rest of these issues in future manufacturings.

One of the biggest negatives is that it seems that all strong cinnamon flavors like TV AC cause cracks in the clear tank, and juice then leaks out of them. I also heard some other flavors doing the same thing. I had 10 different flavors and only the AC caused the cracking in them. I feel these are the best cartos out there by far despite the few issues.

Couldn't wait for the Co-op, ordered/received a few from Volcanocigs. Been vaping the same one for neigh onto a couple weeks. Received 2.6~2.8 ohm Clearo's. I have no difficulty filling with the plastic tip that comes with them. All my juice is DIY 50/50 or greater VG ratio. Differences I've noticed between my earlier metal XL R4's and these Clearo R5's is: 1) wicking is better, prolly due to changes in the wick. Works best when held horizontal or even battery high; 2) they still get warm, but not hot, (like my metal XL R4's); and 3) mine appear to be juice hogs. Either that, or I like them so much more that I've increased my vaping by 50%. I've historically used to vape 2 XL carto's worth a day. With these Clearo R5's, I'm well through a third XL Clearo each day. Devices I've used them on: eGo class batts, a couple sizes, and ProVari. I've prolly got nuff Clearo's, now or coming, to last me a couple years. Now I want some translucent colored versions to differentiate between juices and/or ohm ranges. Lots of possibilities with these things. All this is JMHO

EDIT: All my juice is 50/50 or greater % VG and Cinnamon

Cheers,
otrpu

Great to hear of the positive experiences, thanks guys! I just bought one (ce2 R4 that is) from one of the classifieds here on ECF. I may need something to refill them with. I have never used anything that has needed a needle before. I have also read suggestion for getting a blunt tip needle. Could anyone give me some advice on what to get and where I may be able to get it. Are blunt tip needles something I can pick up at walgreens (drugstore) or will I need to order online. Thanks in advance.

I don't use cinnamon flavors and so far I have'nt needed to remove any part but the 1st cap to fill.I got mine from GotVapes and seems like they are the same as Volcanos.Glad to see as much info as possible on these fantastic cartos!Thanks!

I use the PTB on these. I take out all 3 rings. I cut the wick off and leave about 1/4" on both sides and then install PTB strips down each side by the slits. I then fill with a syringe with a needle or just drip the juice down the side untill full, very easy.
Wicking is fantastic, wicks every drop out. It's the best.

PTB strips? new to me LOL been spoiled with the bottom feeder

Help me out here mike, I am looking to use these on my Buzz

 

[debb]

YES...HOW ARE YOU PUTTING THE STRIPS IN...oops..sorry about the caps...lol...i tried it with one...but it didn't help...maybe i did it wrong..

 

[mikecup]

I'm surprised you have not seen the videos that badkolo has on youtube, thats where I found out about it.
I just fold the PTB into a strip long enough to reach the bottom of the tube, fold it once at the top, then slide it down next to the slit with the fold at the top of course and it vapes like crazy.
A couple threads for you. I also cut the steel tube and installed a syringe in its place, just like the ones we are getting from crimmy. But badkolo gets all the credit.

Just a quick update. USPS tracking shows both packages made it through NY and they are now in Gainsville GA. Looks like the FDA kept their grubby little mitts off of our CE2s! /cheer!
