Thanks storminyte and the other posters in this thread, I have read quite a few pages here and decided to have a go at a little modding today. Went to Wickes (UK DIY Store) and got myself this pipe/tube cutter for a bargain £4. Came home and went to work...
Only took me a little while and was very easy to do, any way, here is what I have now:
This is the tube cutter and syringe I used:
The syringe actually came free from Intellicig with some juice I purchased there. It fits so snug and tight, was absolutely perfect. No leaks so far and no issues whatsoever, works like a dream.
Thanks all!
ps. Only issue I have now is my eGo cone will not fit and my tube cutter cannot cut it because of its shape. Ah well, I won't be using this mod outside as my gf thinks it looks like a crack pipe and would probably slap me silly if I even tried to step foot ouside while sucking on it lol

I see you're using a 2ml Terumo syringe, most of us are using the 3ml. Maybe it has an ID closer to the 3ml BD syringe, don't know. Anyhow, glad you made one, welcome to the club!
PS. My friends used the crack pipe analogy too, funny you should say that...lol

PhearFactor,
You see how easy it is now. Crack pipe huh? With my box mod I keep getting the "He's smoking his cell phone" thing.
One guy asked me, "What the hell is that?" I said, "It's a buried cable locater". Without missing a beat he said , "Oh,yea".

That's funny! I have a friend who's husband made one out of a cell phone! She just said, I'm glad he quit smoking but I'm sick of seeing him smoke that dang cell phone! He loves it, made a juice box out of it.
I don't have a dremel unfortunately. I know there are a few eGo like devices with shorter cones, any one know if one of them will fit 'out-of-the-box'? Mine is literally 2-3mm to long otherwise it would fit perfectly, I would only have to shave a bit off the top but I know it will look stupid if I try it, might lose a finger or two in the process as well lol
I've also used a grinder wheel.

A hacksaw would work, (and some sand paper). Improvise.
Edit: Has anyone new to these ce2s noticed that they use less juice now?
I was dripping 8-10 ml per day, but now with the ce2s I only use about 3 or 4 ml/day.
(I still chain vape just as much, just don't use as much juice) I also stopped adding VG to the juice to get more vapor, it Doesn't need it.

Yes, I have noticed ce2s use less juice. I have also noticed a slight diminished flavor, with more vapor...I'm beginning to wonder if the flavor was building up in the filler (of my older carts). Before I do the mod with the syringe, I'm still wondering how it's not leaking between the atomizer section and the plastic....at the bottom. It fits that perfectly? This method holds more liquid, but how is it preventing the burned taste? Is it somehow better at keeping the liquid off the coil?
Sometimes I just "have" to know how much liquid is in the ce2. I draw it out from the very bottom of the chamber with a long syringe from the "feed and seed". I just read how much came out into the syringe and put it back in....FWIW.
Im trying not to overfill, I think if I can keep the liquid out of the coil area, I will have no burned flavor. Is that wrong thinking?

Yes, it does fit that well. no leaks.
As for the burnt taste, I think that it just wicks so well that it doesn't dry out and burn the cart filler/wick.

If I read your post correctly, your thinking is wrong. If you are getting a burned flavor, then it is a sign that there is not enough liquid in the coil area. This happens when the wick is not supplying enough liquid to keep the coil cool enough. The syringe mod may or may not allow your wick to supply more liquid, so you will have to try it and find out. Chances are good that it will work better. Otherwise, your juice may be too thick or your battery voltage may be too high.
If you ever get your flavor as it should be, I believe you will use more juice, not less.
I think there's a difference between dry and burnt and sometimes mixed up.

One of the advantages of opening the tube on the CE2 is to allow adjusting the wick. Every one (xl) I've opened had the wicks riding well above the bottom of the reservoir and had to be adjusted. I still need to tip it roll the juice up to the top occasionally to get the best vape, but stormi's mod is a vast improvement on the v4s.
I've only opened 2 of the short regulars, but it looked like it had almost as much wick as the v4 - there definitely seemed to be more proportionately. Now that they are selling the clear cases for the v4 it will be interesting to see if the vape has improved on them.
You’re right stormi, but the well-used ones I’ve dissected do indeed show scorching on the wick… probably due to out-vaping the wicking. First dry flavor, then nice smoky essence.
The scorching you saw is part of the crud build up that occurs while in use. It is embedded in the fibers, but a torch can burn it out and the wick will be white as snow.
br is right,
The wick can take the heat.
A wick made of the same or similar material in the eGo Mega cart cleans up snow white with a dry burn.
It's not a CE2, but shows the effect of heat on the wick.
This one was used about 3 days and had a little crud build up.

Thanks BR and Rocketman,
I agree with what you're saying... but this is what I found when I opened the E2.
Beautiful pics Rocketman! What did you take them with?
I had one CE2 that the lead wires were shorted (touching) and burnt a spot in the wick. Was the spot on yours in the heater or down the side? The Rev 4 with only the heatshrink holding the cup to the tube can spin twisting the lead wires.
and the camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ28.
