A natural fiber will wick better than synthetic fiber, so a 100% cotton string will probably work better in the reservoir of the E2. I don't know what a candle wick is made out of these days, but it may work too.
I know how an old cotton wick for a kerosene lamp works when compared with a new synthetic wick. The old one works the way it's supposed to, and the new one only works for a minute or so. After that the flame dies down almost to nothing and that part of the wick turns red hot. It can be blown out and a few minutes minutes later it can be lit again with the same results. The only good thing about the new one is that it does not burn.
Now, I'm not suggesting that anyone should experiment with a natural fiber wick. I'm just letting some of you know know just how bad the high temperature synthetics are and what we are up against. I'm making do very well with most of my E2's and will keep using them as such until something better comes along.
I just sold mine...It was5v..too much for me...But I loved it ...The build, the battery life...everything about it...maybe I'll get the vv... Can you stand it up with that dial on the bottom?

you cant stand it upright but if you buy it ill send you a plastic mold that fits it nicely and lets you stand it upright.
yeah the 5volt one was to much but this bad boy goes all the way down to 1.2 i think and up to 6.3 ish, im in love with this thing, lasts for ever.
i keep mine slanted on a soldering gun holder.

Ok..Thanks...it's way more money then the 5v I had...but if I get it ..I will let you know... 
I really miss it... but I couldn't see keeping it and not using it...

so back to the CE2's. do these things work like a 510 atty being fed with liquid from a wick? i'm kinda skeptical about buyin some because i really dont like using attys at all, im more of a Boge 510 cartomizer guy. i hate to constanly drip drip drip, and here and there get that awful burnt taste off an atty. if these things give off any kind of smell of taste a burnt atty does count me out.
I wish Royal Smokers sold drip tips as well. It would save me from ordering from multiple places.
Chri$, I filled an E2 last night at about 6pm vaped until about 10pm, (not like bad in his video's I don't know how anyone could vape that much and not pass out!) Then took it to work today vaped it (when I could sneak a hit at my desk at work) and it was still hitting harder than a freshly dripped atty when I got home at 4:30 today. That's 1 E2, 13 hours on a 3.7 bartleby, and it just kept going strong. No dripping, no refilling, no burn't taste, nothing but great vapor. The only reason I filled it when I got home was to top it off with a different mix. These things are great!
I did do the PTB mod on this one following badkolo's video.
By the way bad is one class act, I cannot thank him enough.
order a minimal order from COV u won't be sorry. Best thing since sliced bread IMO
The Tekkeon does have long lasting batteries, but they appear to be Nhaler batteries, I don't think you can get 18650 batteries to work on it unless you buy them only from them. It does look nice for a box though (like a cigar), but too big for an electronic cigarette for me.
I wonder when we'll see e-cigarette-sized ones, it may be that they only need 1000 milliamp hours, many would be glad to have ecigs with just 1000mah, and just 2 to 3.9 volts... No usb port needed on it either, otherwise might as well put a digital camera and cellphone on it, then it would be convenient for me to carry around... but it does look nice.
I wonder if anyone's modded one of them yet.
(A long time ago I wondered about modding the $59 Kesington,

Or mod the $36 Tekkeon from Amazon? interesting:

its big its bad and it variable from the low 1 to the high 6v and lasts for days, yes its bulky but it uses 2 - 18650 batteries, you should already know its not going to be small just by that alone.
the tekk mod is for people who dont care about size but want super long lasting and completly variable and thats what this bad boy delivers.

No problem. The R2's also had some thread problems, mostly w/ the 510's but that was corrected on R3.
The Tekkeon does look nice tho, if I got one of either Kesington or Tekkeon, it would be the Tekkeon, but I think I remmember Nhaler's website said you can't use 18650 batteries, unless you bet Nhaler's own proprietary batteries, and after a quick search at the Tekkeon website I still couldn't find easily replaceable inexpensive batteries for it...not yet at least
Also others have mentioned possibly controlling the usb on the computer via software, and it reminded me that I would like a PT that has a variable power adjustment on it, that way it would work on any 5v usb port at the power level that you choose.
If someone knows about variable power resistors, would one like this 12watt variable resistor work?
Digi-Key - AVT25-3.0-ND (Manufacturer - AVT25-3.0)
Or the LM317 chip ?

I am familiar with both of these devices.
Adjustable resistors like this one came into use back in the 1930's for radio and other electronic equipment. They are fairly large and easy to work with. However, some known values are required before a useful resistance range can be determined.
I have built a good number of battery eliminators using the LM317 chip. I don't think a 5 volt USB port on a computer will be a good source for a power supply. A power supply from somewhere else would be better, or for that matter, you can build one from Radio Shack parts.
And then you wonder why i want to give you 1000 paper cuts in between your toes as i pour pure grain alcohol over each cut.
You knew about the resistor for the passthrough this whole time and you just kept it a secret????, bad bad bad BR.
