Filling an E2 Carto?????

[dynasty]

awesome vapor also sells them now, except I think only the 510 shorts.

Got my E2 today and went to fill one using the blue needle thing that came with it. I blew my carto across the counter! I thought my juice was too thick, but even with water they just blow across the room!

Hee hee. I blew off the blue tip because I didn't realize they weren't pierced through to the plastic needle dealie. Looked inside, went "oooohh" (lightbulb!), got a safety pin and voila! These things are fantastic.

Well how do you folks like the vape on the E2, is it LR or reg? I have one and dont recall. It seems to work pretty darn good, but i don't exactly like the flavor change..
I mean nothing is as good as dripping, but some cartos are closer than others.
I would have thought the E2 ceramic would be closer since it has no filler.
Some suggested it was the glue inside, and i heard that there is a new model out now and mine is an older one i think.

^ if the cup is plastic then your carto's probably have the glue. The ceramic ones have no glue, but the primer liquid may be a concern.

So over Cartos, the E2s totally suck, and so the the others. I really got into them because the idea of them got me hooked, but I really do not see any reason why someone would choose any Carto over an Atty. you can buy good Attys that will last over 2 or 3 weeks of clean and tasty vapor for 3 bucks apiece. And honestly even if I got a Carto for a buck that lasted me a week at best, it never vaped or tasted anywhere near as good as the cheapest atty. Life is too short to vape on cartomizers..


I have a .... ton of 510 and KR808 Cartos for sale...great deals....PM if interested.

"Life is too short to vape on cartomizers.." AMEN!!!
...but still i'll use them for a drive or walk around the block eh? ...

Choice is a great thing. For me life is too short to be screwing around with carts and atties all day while I'm on the go much less dripping. Cartos have their upside and down side as do carts and atties. For me carto's fit my lifestyle.

Regarding the E2's - they're still in development. For someone who wants to expend the effort modding them with ptb is a game changer. It doesn't take much effort btw. But it's all what you want and what suits you best.

Okay, so I'm an idiot. Just got these today, but am finding that two of them taste burnt after filling. The other two are fine. Could it be that these need to sit for awhile after filling so the ceramic can absorb the juice? The thicker, darker juices seem to be affected while the lighter, more thin juices taste fine.

I know you have to let a regular carto sit so the filler has time to absorb, but was thinking that ceramic would be different. I'm guessing no?

Any insight would be super.

The ceramic cup does not absorb juice. What's possibly/probably happening is that the ones that taste burnt aren't wicking well. It's also possible that there is primer present. My understanding is that some have primer and some don't. A dry burn before filling will help. You CAN dry burn the hell out of them without popping them as long as you're not using a higher volage than standard mod pv. But if the taste is burnt I still suspect wicking problems. The ptb mod goes a long way in curing that.

Try holding your pv with the battery end up so that the juice flows toward the coil in the carto. I've experimented with actually flicking my eGo in this direction (sort of like shaking down a themometer only without as much force) before taking a hit.

The revison 4 E2's are on the way and will allegedly address remaining problems and have no primer. In my view the present crop of E2's are for people that want to experiment with performance as they are still considered beta products.
