Disappointed in CE2? Try this!

[roadrash]

Well dang,,,A flooding atty? I can't figure this one out.
I cracked my 5ml tank,, so on Christmas day I made a new lexan tube for it and treated it (myself) to a new C2 for it. (standard 3 ohm V4) ,,,,,, fast forward till yesterday (maybe the day before that) when it started gurgling, (this happens every now and then) I had to take the tank off of the battery and blow it out. Just to get the condensation out of the tube, or so I thought. Unscrew it, blow into the battery connector and wipe it out, spit and sputter and wipe the juice out off of my lips. then blow like hell down the drip tip. small droplets of juice goes all over the place from the bottom where the threads are so I aim for the trash can. repeat the spit and sputter part and wipe the juice out off of my lips again. It did that 3 or 4 times yesterday and a dozen times today. except today there was no way to get it to stop gurgling no matter how many times I cleaned it out like I have done many times before. I gave up and changed the atty for an old one and now all is well. It would get so bad that you would have .... tooten flashbacks.
The only mod to the C2 was to dremel 2 slots at the bottom so the juice from the tank could get to the wick.
Do I remember someone else here that had a problem with flooding?

Wasn't me. LOL.
Although I finally gave in a did ones of these 3 mil E2 mods. I had it on a box mod when I went nighty nite and when I woke up in the morning the whole tube had drained out through the center post overnight. Thankfully it was a bottom feeder and most of the juice went in to the bottle.
I'm thinkin that it was a combination of capillary action and syphon action.
The E2 was rebuilt with a fg rope wick, which is twice the size of the stock silica rope wick.
Since then I put a condom on the bottom. when I'm not vapin.

I love it! What is the white stuff at the top and the bottom of the bigger ones?

Silicone Gasket

Where do you get the gaskets from? Home Depot?

 

[addisdaddy07]

googled the gasket... no joy, it says tycner, but my guess is it is a polish product.

 

[kj4lxw]

Me too, looked at homedepot and ace hardware but it looks ,like they don't list for "small" items like this on websites, will have to stop in and check the stores.

BTW, like your avatar

There used in sink installations similar to o-rings and come in standard faucet sizes, so an equivalent should be available in some plumbing department.

Dell, great find, a skąd masz? Praktiker? Mam od tycnera jakis uszczelki. Pozdrawiam

I have bought mine in Leroy Merlin, for 2,50 PLN.
A little advice from me: if it transports the liquid too slow for you, get one of the ends and put over the ceramic - for me it works

Here, the 3,5ml version:

No love for Praktiker, heh. I've got lots of Tycner stuff, just wish they had more o-ring choices. Might either of you know if Norauto is good for thin (np 1,0mm srednica) o-rings?

Looks good Utak

 

[utak3r]

Vaping this one and the big B Low Resistance atomizer gives me just one thought: I have to think about something new. This Ce2 carto gives an awful taste, comparing to B LR.

So... I've just bought a Kanthal wire

 

[asdaq]

Utak, my Polish kanthal came to me via Florida. Themeshcompany.com does a fine job of shipping to Poland if that is where you are heading

 

[utak3r]

I bought mine on Allegro

 

[asdaq]

Oh, I meant for the stainless steel mesh, if that is what you are looking to do with the kanthal.

 

[utak3r]

Yep, that's the next thing to search, thanks for the link.
And... do you know the supplier of some modelling material, like stewalin or similar? What it is named in Polish? And I assume resin won't work, right?

 

[asdaq]

We have no Stewalin, but it's in Sweden and Germany. Ebay.de will ship it here for 5 euro + 15 euro for shipping, kinda pricey. You can get PTFE teflon rod, but I'm not sure how it would hold up to heat. Similar to stewalin I haven't found.

 

[icemanx3]

There were alot of complaints or nasty burnt taste and problems with wicking, with this... none!
Glad you like them without messing with them. I wasn't so lucky.

Sent from my Droid

I had the weird taste and found out through this thread that the ones I had weren't good to use with 3.7v so I stopped using them. I wonder if this mod would fix them for use on my 3.7v mod? They are RoyalSmokers R4 E2 (2.4 to 2.6ohm).

BTW, this is the quote I found from badkolo, and this was my issue for the bad taste:

so it doesnt matter if you got the real r4, if its not in the ohm range of 2.9 and above your going to get thats taste eventually unless you mod it with ptb.

(( unless you have a varaible device))

I use 2.4's with my Riva and it's the best! It's a syringe mod though, not sure if it makes a difference but I can't vape them out of the box. I keep trying but they are so much better with the syringe! The throat hit on a 2.4 is the best!

 

[utak3r]

Keep in mind there're two resistance versions of this carto. Maybe try the higher resistance.

 

[CloudBurst]

Actually, there are 3 resistances now. 2.4-2.6 2.7-2.9 and 3.0-3.2
