How are you guys getting the gunk buildup out of the cup? I have about 10 sitting here that need cleaning and I can seem to get that gunk out of there. I'm going to have to make due with these for another 2 weeks until I get paid so any advice to get them back to working better would be helpful.

I have not found anything to cut it yet. A rolling boil for 15 minutes in a pot of water won't do it. I even soaked them in Easy-Off oven cleaner over night and that didn't work either. But then, I think the stuff they sell now-a-days for oven cleaner can be used for tooth paste. I think the black stuff gets into the pores of the ceramic. The old plastic cups did not do this.
Hi there guys! I've been watching this thread for some time now and decided to chime in.
My interest was sparked mainly due to the fact I was looking for something to use when I'm "out and about" and to get use of my many other mods. I use my juice boxes most of the time and I love them! The flavor is always great and no bad taste EVER! I tried cartos awhile back and HATED them, so I was a little leary when these came out but...I ordered a box of the regular and then 3 boxes of the XL's.
I was not too impressed at first but decided not to give up too quickly. I watched the vids and tried the PTB (never a PTB fan) and still not too impressed, still the dry coil taste. So, I decided that since I'm a blue foam junky, why not? I cut small strips and slid them in not unlike the PTB and I have been vaping the same cart since last night. No burnt taste and I'm startibng to get used to the difference between the juice feeder and these E2's. I am so far, delighted with these and believe me, I never thought I'd be saying that. There is a slight "learning curve" and adjustment depending on what you're used to but it's worth it! So, if there's anyone out there thinking about trying these, I suggest you go for it but don't give up on them without a good effort to get used to them.
I do have a few questions...
1. Is there any difference between the 901 and the 510 (besides the threads)? Do they vape the same?
2. The E2 I'm currently using is 3.0 ohms, on a regular 510 atty, isn't this more of a HV atty ohm? On my Riva, it hits like a 5v atty, which I like but don't understand it.
You guys are doing a great job here keeping us all informed and I for one, really appreciate the info. Sorry if any of this has been covered somewhere, it's a really long thread and I think I started keeping tabs late.

Don't forget about the Highping mod, heheh. Some people prefer that method better than PTB and blue foam. It appears that some E2 users are having to find their own method that works best for them. At least, we can experiment with these, and we could not do that with the older type cartomizers.
Ok Br which values do you want, I need to be able to get 2.1 to 4.2 volts out of it, the thing is that the LM317 might be obsolete, now they have an LM117, except both seem like they want 4.2volts minimum input:
National Semiconductor Search Results
What values do you need to know?

I took a 2.5 ohm e2 xl and threw it on a 3.7 device with no ptb, got dry fast and a metaly taste, then i took put it on a hello and ego and it was better but still not perfect, so i put it on the tekkmod at about 3v flat and it hit the sweet spot and worked properly.
I mention this again for a reason, some people say theirs work great on a riva.hello,ego while others say it still has the issue. I think thats becuase some are 2.4 others are 2.5 and some are 2.6 and some are 2.7.
the .1 difference in volts seems to make a difference since the e2 varies in ohms so much.

Mine should be arriving next week as well.
Hopefully R4 has been perfected so they can work on redesigning it to allow filling straight from the bottle via a tube/tunnel under the outer cap.
The one thing that Edition1 is better at than Edition2 is the ease of refilling.

I agree, but it looks like that remains the way it is
I may have to get a small variable box mod too, I feel like I'm waiting for a carto to ecig battery adaptor, not a tiny one but more like the size of a standard carto, about the size of my switch adaptor
adjustable, to vary the resistance by up to 1 ohm. A simple adaptor that can vary the resistance by +/- 0.5 ohms (1ohm total range).

I do not want or need to know any values, John. You are the one who needs them, heheh. All kidding aside though, I don't think I can help you much. From what I gather, you want to vary the voltage of a pass through that you are using from a computer port.
If that is the case and if you have a PT without any electronics inside of it, then you may get it to vape at 4.2 volts. If it does, then it will just barely do it. If this is what you have, and if you want to vary the voltage with a variable resistor, then just use ohms law to find the resistance required for 2.1 volts.
However, I suspect that your PT has electronics inside of it that reduces the working voltage to about 3.7 or less, meaning that it cannot produce your requirement of 4.2 volts. In addition, the electronics require a certain amount of voltage to work. Now, I don't know anything about this fancy stuff, but your PT may not work at your required minimum of 2.1 volts. Therefore, I do not know what the total resistance of a variable resistor should be.
About the regulator chips. Maybe you can get one to work from your computer port, but I stand by my previous statement. I do not recommend a USB port of a computer for a power supply.
In most cases, I can't tell a difference in my juice between 3.0 and 3.1 volts. At 2.8 volts it generally has the same taste, but I like it better. Maybe it is because it is milder at that voltage? I don't know. I don't usually get a dry taste though, even at 3.7 volts. I have not opened up all of my XL's yet, but so far none of them measure higher than about 2.5Ω. Hopefully, I have some with a higher resistance.
Now that your XL's get dry at 3.7 volts, does that mean that your earlier E2's worked better at that voltage? I remember your first video. You vaped the living daylights out of that sucker and it never did run dry.
With his new avatar it might be fitting that his post count be locked at 666.

That's funny. I might even crack a grin before the day is over with.
Ok, well they're good ideas and great components, the LM 117/317 is a little 10mm thing for $2 something, but there are other options not discussed yet. All we need is a variable resistor, 1 ohm at that, so I wonder if it's just easier to build our own.
I'm thinking about an adaptor, about the size of my famous switch adaptor a few posts ago...
except there's no switch or anything inside of it on this one here. Basically it's a 510 to 510 adaptor (or 808d to 808d, whatever) or extender, as they may be called. Ok, so inside of it why couldn't we just install a nichrome coil whose gauge is so much thicker than the atomizing coil? It wouldn't be variable until we design a way to do it, but for now you could have the choice of adaptors, where no adaptor would mean full battery output, with the adaptor it would be 1/2 ohm, or you could use the 1 ohm adaptor instead:
