If they have "R4" in the item description then we should be getting R4 carto's if we order now. If they send R3's instead, then it would be false advertising.

Don't measure from the coil center, John. Measure from the end of the coil. If you measure the wrong end it will be zero volts. The other end is positive and will measure the voltage.
GREAT NEWS BR!!!! I can't wait to get mine. They are on the way.
ok, so about 24 hrs on my first e2 torture test. still smoking like a train. still tasting good. the only thing i don't like about it is i cant tell when its low on juice. the old cartomizers i could pop off the cap and see the filler getting white, so i knew to add more. these not so much, you can see the wicks starting to get dry, but not as obvious as the old cartos

Well I thought I was going to re-measure, but I remembered that the voltage stabilized after 1 or 2 seconds, and so I just simply measure the part that I vape, which is right above the air stem, in the center of the gunk zone, and it seems to quickly stabilize at approx. 1.7 to 1.9 volts.
(Nichrome's resistance probably goes up with heat too anyway)
I just haven't been able to take a measurement during the actual vaping yet, and at the time of the measurement, the coil was slightly full and with no orange, so for now I might estimate the ballpark voltage somewhere at 1.7 to 2 volts.
(edit add: ...and is it the most resistive during the orange status? possibly. That also seems to be the maximum limit, I don't think it gets any hotter than orange, the heat seems to just simply spread out at that point. In fact I don't believe I even vape during condition orange. So it's good with approximately 1.8 volts, regardless of how it's delivered to the air stem point, as long as I see 1.8 volts or so at that point it seems to be fine.)
After trying all the ptb mods I found if you pull the wick strands up cut the loops, And
twist the strands with your fingers in the opposite direction they unravel very easy.
Then poke them back down. Works just as well as ptb mod. They wick better unraveled.

Yes Turbo its working for me.So you have four strands (two on each side) after cutting the wicks, do I have that right?
HEY !!!!! I resemble that!!! Damn kids....... grumble grumble AARRGGGHHHHOh yeah, try vaping with your teeth out... br swears by it.![]()
I wonder how hot the coil gets when the "Guck" stops the wick from wicking and the user holds the button down for a 4 second hit?
good question, maybe we need to find a good digital VOM-thermometer as well
my thought is that it's not real hot, i mean definitely not orange-hot
does anyone here have a thermo-vom ?

and about the voltage: I know the post and/or thread was about the battery voltage, but I narrowed down the critical element to only the voltage that I need at the load of essence, under load, and nothing but the mere and relevant load, which is at the air stem. So if I could get 2 volts by whatever technological means applied directly at the center post (during the load is key though), I would still get the same vapor. (I'm not worried about the one and a half coil loops to the left on the left field of the cup, I can do without that loop and a half.)<by the way
edit add: In fact, now that the coil is spread out comfortably from one side of the cup to the other, I think I can do with a loop or two less, and a slightly lower voltage (on the battery)
these ce2 cartos vape great, I can have a k808d1 battery shut down for recharge and the ce2 still putting out reasonable vapor
