E2 Cartomizer Technical Discussion

[v1John]

Definitely.
The carto has also been able to lay flat and no leaks whatsoever.
I'm glad to read that they will go slow to changing to r4, because I have no idea if the possible closed cup slots would be good or not.
So far so good with just the three and a half.
Also, it's only the first carto tested, and I have not even disturbed the inner ring... but so far it's actually really good.

Turbo, I mean so far not a single leak. This 3 1/2 just does not know what 'leak' means so far.
I know, the r3 and r2 are good most of the time too, but so far it seems better for some strange reason...we'll see, as I start to refill and refill

Great, keep us posted. Lets see, can someone remind me what changes r4 brings? It's all starting to run together, I've been on all mega threads since the beginning..lol

I know this r3.5 brings the new filler cap and no primer, although some is present on the samples.

i dont think the slots are closed in the r4, there is something else instead.

R4 the FV should have all connectors dent free , primer free and dry wick, leak free cup, proper ohms that are ordered , new inner plug which the 3 1/2 has and some new fix for the slots .

The new fix for the slots is not a closed slit system, instead its something else to improve the wick, it might be in the vein of the ptb mod but i dont want to speculate at the moment.

Ok, thanks 'bad'. This is the final mystery then. I'll eagerly await.

 

[badkolo]

my main concern is the leaking and the inner plug and the primer, with those fixed i can handle the wicking just fine, using the right ohm at the right volt and using the e2 as intended and ill be happy.

i can then mod it with ptb or whatever they have designed and go for that crazy vape if i choose to. so i hope they solved these things .

i just threw a 3.0 ohm xl 808 on a indulgence passthrough and whatever that runs at which isnt 5volts for sure it has to be lower, but whatever it runs at is the sweet spot for that e2, it vapes so incredibly well.

so far 4 xl's , 2 -510's and 2-808's with just the center plug on top of the cup, i left them sideway om my desk for 20 minutes each and so far no leaks, not bad so far.

Well mine shipped the 15th finally according to Linda...even though the EMS tracking shows no info yet...and she never did answer if they are the R4 or R3's.

hey quick question. yesterday br mentioned testing voltage under load. im assuming to do this i would hook up a carto and attach a lead to the positive and ground just like normal then turning it on. its that simple right? if so my passthrough is putting out 3.7 under load

That is accurate, although I'm curious how you got the leads on there with a carto attached?

That's the voltage for a KR808. Ideal in your situation.

 

[naviathan]

I know how you do it br, I'm curious how dynasty did it though.

oops. Sorry 'bout that.

 

[naviathan]

oops. Sorry 'bout that.

No worries, although I do love your solution, looks like something I would have built.

 

[zoiDman]

oops. Sorry 'bout that.

A nob question.

When you test the with the setup shown above, do the wires that have been sodered to the battery connector / battery effect the voltage / ohm reading by adding extra resistence?

This size wire handles about 8 amps for the tube filaments in an antique radio of the early 1920's without a noticeable voltage drop. That's with about six feet of wire.

Edit: The tube filaments operate at 5 volts from a 6.3 volt source.

i screwed down the carto until it made contact enough to fire, then took the cap off the carto and attached a lead of the voltometer to the wire in the carto, and one to the ground on the battery

That works.

Now why didn't I think of that, heheh

Gotcha...

Tube filament wire from the 20's? You are making me feel young. And that is hard to do early in the mourning before I have had 3 cups of joe.

I had a ceramic 510XL running very well at 3.7v the other night, but I had to PTB it to get there. Out of the box these things don't really wick well enough to suit their ohm ratings. I wish all mine were 3.0-3.2.

ic. thanks.
Hopefully RS have a few V4L Batteries on hand for testing. It would be a shame if these carto's continue to burn so easily with these batts.
