Yeah, I've got one Smoktech battery on which they won't fire unless I raise the post on either carto or battery - it is irritating since they're both Smoktech devices.

No, I've not tired that. I'm not sure I will though, could risk damaging the atomiser connection? How would you do that? Pliers and a gentle pull? I think I'll prob just stick the tornado 510 adaptor on it and vape it that way for now.(even if it does make it look rather silly) I'm not too fused, the other identical dual coil works fine on it, just this one. It must be the quality control thing mentioned. The connection raised just a little too much on this one maybe.
Nah - it's fairly simple. Use a dental pick or a straighened paper clip on the carto connector - you stick it in the center hole about 2mm and then just wiggle the center post out a little bit, first one direction and then the other. The carto connector is mounted in silicone and will move out a little bit. The slot in the carto connector is not made for a screwdriver, so don't twist on the thing.
Or - you can raise the center post on the battery the same way using a dental pick or a jeweler's screwdriver - it's also mounted in silicone but 1mm's about all you get. Better to adjust the carto than the battery if you can, though - if you've gotta break something it's better to break a $2.50 carto than a $20 battery
It's pretty simple - just stick a paper clip in the hole in the carto connector and ease the thing out a little bit
Ahh ok thanks, good to know! Relatively simple procedure too. And yeap, defo only gonna do that on cartomizers rather than the battery!
Ok I bought several of these I only have an ego and passthrough. I love the dual coil cartomizers but these for me are it. Yes they are big but VERY effective. Nice warm TH. Tons of vapor and great taste built like tank . I highly recommend for primary ego/ tornado users . Well worth it.
I just bought two 5-packs from vapingzone - $27.98 for ten cartos still stings a little though
Also bought a 420mAh charger to replace the one the spousal unit has that's a little iffy, with the coupon code (ECF10) total was $30.99 plus $5 shipping.
Notes on the ECF10 coupon code:
So, you've gotta get the subtotal over $30.00 for the coupon to work, but it'll save ya a couple bucks.
if the vapingzone cartos work, it's not a bad price at all (especially with the coupon code)!
LOL, you are right about that but I was thinking more along the lines of emailing the vendor first and asking if they are the SMOK branded ones or the old ones....at least if I was buying several of them....
Just for information, here's another EMDCC that sure does look the same, labeled SmokTek:
510 Ego Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer - 1.6 ohm, 4.5ml, - Black w/tip
So, now we have three vendors to look at, and WHO KNOWS which one might the original or close to the original?

I've seen them at healthcabin too and healthcabin doesn't sell Smoktech - but they are expensive there
Smoktech themselves say madvapes has exclusive US rights to their EMDCCs and SmokTek is in Florida, so I *think* unless they bought them from MV they're clones. $3.29 each though? Really?
Sheesh.
I just noticed MV is out of whistle tip EMDCCs so I guess at least some of this discussion is academic
We've got good reviews on the EMDCCs from Vaping Zone, bad experiences with the current crop from MadVapes, and nothing reviewed that I've seen from Health Cabin or SmokTek.
Here's the one from Health Cabin:
5pc eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer (with HC Logo) - $18.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--

I've got high hopes for the vapingzone cartos - but as I've said I've only tried one. Ordered them last night and I think VZ is closed on the weekend so they may not ship before Monday - it'll be next weekend before I can offer anything objective.
I did have some success washing out a Smok-logoed EMDCC I'd only run for about three days - I live in Michigan and it's hard to get PGA so I used 91% IPA, rinsed it out real well and let it dry for a couple days - the carto seems to have opened up a little. It's not as noisy and doesn't hit quite as hard as the VZ carto does but it does work about as well as my first batch of EMDCCs did.

From yesterday i'm vaping on mine provari one mega cartom dual coil (1.6 ohm, provari check) smoktech at 3.8v.
I had some initial difficult to refill all, but after some minutes it was ready to be vaping.
And incredible ! My first impression is very very good about that !
Good hit, good flavour and good vaping ! I hope it will life a lot of days !

i notice the health cabin emdcc has the same blue color wrapper as the curren't ones from mad vapes that have smok printed on them. the wrappers on the original emdcc's were clear.
i have been noticing something wrong with air flow and thought it was a problem with the tube or filler, but this morning i was comparing air flow with and without a batt attached. without a batt attached, air flow was great, so i kept drawing (taking in air) on the emdcc while attaching the batt. what happened was as soon as i touched the batt to the carto threads, air flow was greatly dimished (almost cut off), and continued to be so and get worse when the carto was completely attached.
the original emdcc's, on the other hand, while attaching a batt to them, seem to experience better air flow. i don't know how this could be possible, but it's what happened on the 2 originals that used.
does anybody have a clue? could something be wrong with the design or a possible mistake in manufacturing? can anyone else here try what i just tried and give their results, too? with the skirt in the way, i can't actually see where the air flow holes are located. maybe someone wants to dissect some of these and see if the holes are in the right place?
i'm not saying that the filler hasn't changed, too, but just wondering about the air flow. is there something basic here that i'm just not getting?

Ok, so this is where confusion lies. There are 2 companies with similar names, one in Florida which is branding SMOK ? and the other one is Smoktech ( China ) and they don't brand their cartos that I have seen, at least not the smaller dualies.
Nope - that ain't it
The genuwyne Smoktech cartos are labeled "Smok" - check this out:
Smoktech LEO dual coils cartomizer 1.5ohm,it can hold 5ml e liquid
Maybe when they were trying to fix the connection problems the airflow got messed up in the process.

Ok, well that blows my whole theory to hell....lol. So when they "fixed" the connection problem, they messed them up.
Apparently
Just got email notification - apparently vapingzone does ship on Saturday
I'm stalking the mailman anyway - waiting on some 48mg and some 0mg PG and a bit of RY4 flavoring so I can play mad scientist this afternoon
