E2 Cartomizer Technical Discussion

[bassthumper]

BTW still using them exclusively with no problems
can't wait for some XL 3.0 ohms so I can use them at 4.7 or 5v

 

[naviathan]

I have to ask, but is 4.7-5V even necessary?

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

OK so I got mine in this morning, filled it in the car, booted it to work (was waiting on the mail lady before work, stopped her in the middle of the street, got my packages Pretty sure she thinks I'm crazy) anyways, no burnt taste no plastic taste no glue, all good. IT JUST WON'T BLOODY WICK FAST ENOUGH! I had it on the LS but dripping every couple drags is not what I got them for. They work fine on the WetBox, where I can squeeze the juice into it but it's a bit warm

So, any advice on fixing the wicking problem? They're 510s btw

 

[naviathan]

Was there a primer in them to start?

Hi GC, long time no see. I top mine off all the time, same issue with wicking. Can you run your WetBox with 3 volt batteries? My old Little Chuck vapes great on them with a 3 volt battery

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

No I can't. I can run it down to 3 or so on the LS but I hate having to drip into it. Was hoping someone had some wick ideas.

Yes, there was primer in them, a lot actually.

 

[naviathan]

How well did you clean out the primer?

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

Errr...quick blow through, not very well at all...why?

 

[naviathan]

Some people have said the primer is like VG. If it's that thick it could cause it to wick very slowly until it burns away.

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

I've been trying to get it to work all day, I've been using it on the WetBox all day so the primer should well and truely have burnt off by now I noticed taking the second ring out with the holes for refilling helped a little...

To troubleshoot, remove the inner parts and fill the reservoir up to the bottom of the cup. Tailpipe it for several puffs and see if it wicks. Tell us what happens and then maybe one of us can help you from there.

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

OK after a refill it hasn't happened yet, it's back on the LS at a lower voltage and...I'm getting light headed lmao. I'll get back if it happens again though! Thanks

 

[BanjoMan]

GC try it on the LS at its' lowest setting (mark #1). That should give you plenty of vapor and a smooth taste.

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

Oh I have been, since I lasted posted. Seems you all were right, after the second refill it wicks much much better. It's just now starting to wick less, I've been vaping it non-stop though on the LS guess it's due for a refill hehe.

 

[badkolo]

also, just for chits and giggles, take a sharp point like a needle and just stab the wick like 10 times inbetween the coil and around the edges of the coil.

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

Really? Hmm...might have to try that on the next carto that doesn't wick properly

 

[badkolo]

the only thing left could be the wick, there are more then one type of wick, so maybe a different wick is suited for this type of system.

the wick in the e2 is more like thread, but i seen other wicks that looks more woven and thicker and round. or maybe a more stranded one is needed.

Yeah bad but she has ceramics(!!). The wicking issues should be straightened out on those by now. Surely they're still not playing with those...

What I'm REALLY curious about is if you've compared the LS at lowest setting with a standard 510 battery, and agree with me that the lower the voltage the better the taste.

Wait until you dry burn one. Watch how fast the coil turns orange.

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

I'm about to try a dry burn. Want to get some DK Tobacco in it, the Strawberry Cheesecake is making me feel ill, too much sweetness!

OK so as I said I have had the carto on the WetBox all day, standard 3.7 battery and then as you said when I fixed the wicking and got it on the LS, hell yes, YUM!.
Vapor wasn't way too hot like on the WetBox and not too harsh. You're right, perfect

Banjo, you have been EXTREMELY helpful sir Thank you very much. Between LS questions and carto questions, shoot lol

Going to go try a dry burn here in a sec

Oh forgot to add, haven't used a regular 510 in I don't know how long. Chuck @ 3.7v since December, nothing else until now Well except the eGo which was nice, but not my Chuck
