I use it on a Twist and have vaped it at 4.8v but then sometimes it spits so I turn it down. I find I'm usually around 4.3 volts.

I think the flavor is better than the nova v2. It has to do with the wicks. The wicks on these tanks just do a superior job.

Yes, you need an ego cone adaptor for the provari.

Finally, Vapors Choice is selling them under the name "Super Excalibur" for $7!! I went ahead and got 3 more! Not sure how long they'll keep it at that price but definitely a bargain:

Hi Robbie. I just watched your video and am totally intrigued. I am a noob and have only been using Smoketech Resurrector cartos so far. My question is, how do you switch juice? Can you wash the whole thing out or do you have to get new innards for each flavor?

Thanks!

You can take it apart and rinse it off with water. If you rinse the wicks, I'd let it sit until the wicks are completely dry. I've had issues with wicking wicks that are still soaked with water.

Robbie ever since you mentioned it having some gurgling issues mine has been gurgling. lol I went through 4 tanks without any problems. I changed the Atty post and it stopped for a little bit and started again.
I also had one leak out all the juice shortly after I filled it. I remembered you had a similar problem and said you had the tank upside down. They look identical to me and after cleaning it I can't tell the difference. Got any clues on solving these issues?

DiscountVapors also has all the parts to rebuild these as well as the E1 and the E3, including the tanks, top and bottom caps and they have both regular resistance and low resistance replacement carto/wick assembly (I think he has them labeled as tubes)

I was really liking these until it started gugling and I can't get it to stop. It still vapes good but is very annoying. I've got a couple of more coming in the mail and I hope I can figure what is causing it. It seems to be over wicking and flooding. I've put in a new atty wick module and it is working good again for now.

Eric said if you hold them vertical all the time while vaping it won't gurgle. I tried to make an effort to do that and it works 90% of the time. If it gurgles take off the driptip and soak up the juice that is in the top with a paper towel and blow out any juice that might be in the airtube. Vape it holding it vertically and it will work much better. When it gets low on juice I lay it down between vapes and the wicks stay soaked preventing dry hits. It only seems to get in the top when you hold it horizontal and vape.
I ordered some of the knuckle driptips to use on these to make vaping holding my PV vertical easier. Knuckle Drip Tip for 510 - Black Delrin

You can get some real nice colored ones here. BLASTER Adjustable Drip Tips

Ok I received my 2 apollo yesterday. Had to bust out my old ego adapter to put it on my provari, not really ideal because provari doesn't play very well with that adapter. You are correct, the flavor is a lot better. How long does it take to break in? Thus far it doesn't seem to be wicking all that well. Have to turn it upside down every 2 drags and do some dry pulls before I fire it, otherwise it doesn't seem to be getting much juice. Hoping this improves with time. Thus far superior taste and TH to the vivi nova V2.

What I don't understand is they don't gurgle in the beginning. My first one lasted several tanks before it started. I'm vaping this new one normally and I'm almost finished with the first tank and it is working great so far. It must have something to do with the wicks being saturated for a while or something happens to the top cap.

I think it is the silicon cap at the top of the center tube just over the wicks. I think it slides down.

I say this because one of mine began to gurgle and get some juice under the drip tip in the aluminum cap after a couple of fills.

A little while later it started tasting funky, then it tasted burnt.

I think that cap slid down just a bit, pinching the wicks and allowing the juice to end up under the drip tip. I tore it apart since it was burnt anyway and I have replacement parts on the way. The wicks were definitely burnt.

Yesssss, this. This was why mine was having trouble. I pulled my plastic cap up a little bit, now it wicks a lot better and works a while lot better. Thank you so much.
