E2 Cartomizer Technical Discussion

[zelda]

Thanks. It turned out some of the other veterans played a joke on me and sold me elevator passes for an elevator that doesn't exist (fell for the same thing in high school).

Oh well, at least I can still use these cafeteria passes.

Now, if I could just find the cafeteria...

Gee I've been there a few weeks and I haven't seen any cafeteria.

Congrats by the way. You're in the big leagues now.

You guys just like to tinker.
I pulled up the wick on the sides to above the cup, then fluffed it up, and pushed it back down till it was even with the slots. Works great. I keep my little sister sitting up in a shot glass so no leaks.

Now if my juice order would show up I would be in great shape.

Do you have any of the R3 silicone rings to put on to keep it from leaking if you lay it down? If not you might have to seat the PTB a little lower and use your existing filler plug (unless you plan on leaving the plug out and keeping your PV upright).

Yes, I do have some R3 rings I could use, didn't think of that..duh...I was thinking the PTB would be a good candidate on this one since it's a leaker, although a R2. I'll keep the tips in mind, thanks.

Angus told me it was right behind the gym, but I can't find the gym!!

Thanks.

This will probably sound like a silly question to you guys, but how do you manage to cut the wick near the slits for the PTB mod? There doesn't seem to be much room to manoeuvre down there. Or am I missing something?

cuticle or embroidery scissors are small enough to get in there.

 

[sanda]

Sorry - another newb question - how often do you guys do dry burns or full cleans? I found that when I went to refill one for the first time, there was a lot of gunk built up on the coil, so I figured I should clean it in boiling water before reuse. Is that necessary or would a dry burn be enough?

Thanks JJ - so I guess I'm not missing anything - just need something very small

never mind the cafeteria, just wait and see what happens if you need to get to the ecf washroom in a hurry!

btw will try and stuff a little something in the 401 slots to prevent leakage even though mine seems to come from the battery end

in my latest video you will see the scissors i used, they are toe sciccors.
u can use a toothpic to get the wick out the tank then hold the wick upwards a tad with one hand as you cut the wick, leave a tad out the cup so it makes full contact with the ptb.

Thanks bad - will give it a go.

That Angus is a real kidder. We veterans are much too old to be using a gym of all things.

We consider ourselves lucky if we can make it to the living room.

Bad, can you post link to video that shows how to cut the wick...can you use ptb without cutting the wick?

 

[badkolo]

you can use ptb without cutting wick, you dont need to make it as wide as in my video just make sure its thick enough but dont forget you also need to add it on the other slit so it cant be to many folded layers but at the same time when it gets wet with juice it flattens so take that into consideration., you can use something flat to pry the cup into center so you can add the second ptb.. ill need to make a video on cutting the wick for i did it before hand in that video.

you need to test it with the wick , with only one strand of wick, and wick no wick. All 3 differ in results.

 

[debb]

Great! Thanks!

vjohn look at that ecig, 900 mah, but its like what u suggested, its fatter then a e2 carto, so a slightly fatter carto would fit this and be bigger like you wanted, take a look

Ok, here is the entire post from the link:

Compared to a regular kr808:

Compared to a kr808 and eGo (it's the one at the top/middle)

Compared to a regular size carto:

Topped with a regular sized kr808 carto (it actually looks pretty good like this):

It looks like it might be tapered, if it is then that's good, otherwise it looks just almost just like the vgo, except the vgo shrinks down at the thread. The carto also looks like 1mm wider ALL around, or more. I was actually hoping 1mm wider 'in diameter' however, not 'all around'. That means 1/2mm wider all around, not 1mm or more. But it's close enough I think, so close that now what they need is an E2 made for it, but microcig could still make a winner and cost less if it's 'only' 1mm wider in diameter.

Thanks Bad, good find..

Combined with a carto option that unscrews just beow the cup to let people pull the gunked wick AND THREAD A NEW PIECE IN, it's a defite must have, like I mentioned here in: post# 1904

 

[Turbo]

Hey 'v1', did you see my earlier post about the Vgo? I'm looking to get one. The Greencig model above is the G400 that we posted a while ago. I might get it but being auto I may hold off, rather have a Vgo.

There's a review of it and the OP claims he tested it under load at 3.68 volts.

 

[v1John]

Yes, Turbo, I think the vgos are better and you can get both 510 and 808d.
I like the pictures of the greencig tho, I wish the microcig people would see them so they know what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about a cigarette 'more narrow than the vgo', 'just slightly bigger than the regular k808d'

I notice you have to order 3 now, but I wonder if you emailed them they may let people get both 510 and 808 in the set of 3.

Yeah, I was hoping someone ordered 3 and had one to part w/... If not and someone places and order, let me know and I'll go in for one.

 

[badkolo]

im just showing the greencig becuase its really not much fatter then old style ecigs, combine that with a e2 thats the same size and at 900 to 100 mahh at that size, id be a happy camper.
id rather have manual though as well..

v1john, i understand your screw top concept but then your killing the idea of the e2, its disposable, and while they might be willing to perfect the e2 for a higher price i doubt they will go to the extent of turning into a 10 dollar super atty, not at the moment at least and i would rather them perfect the e2 as is and maybe make a wider one etc..

thats the last thing we need, having them make a screw top, saying they are incredible, we order tons and then it leaks from the screw point. things like that i can live without right now, let them get all the issues out the e2 then we can move them into making hybrids.
