Got my Cartzilla!

[scalewiz]

Just got my package today. A quick thanks to everyone at ecigexpress! I ordered from 3 different places on the same day, and as usual, the first package here is from ecigexpress. I think you must stay up late out there working hard. Many thanks.

The Cartzilla ROCKS! Filled it up, super easy to do, let it soak for just a minute or so, and vaped away. This thing is awesome! I have always used clearomizers or some derivative of a CE2, but the amount of vapor from this thing almost chokes me! I'm using it right now at 4 volts, with DIY peach (water clear), so will see how long this will last. I have NO leaks of any kind yet. After it breaks in I will measure the ohms of the coil.

Not sure what the end caps are made of; thought they would probably be aluminum or something, but they seem way to heavy. The whole thing looks good, and drip tips fit pretty well, but I have to take the rubber o-ring out of some tips in order to get them in.

All in all, this thing has to get at least 4.5 stars. Really would like to be able to get replacement bottom units (which contain the CE2 unit), since it appears that this would not be easily done without modification.

Vaped about 2 ml so far; still no leaks. Cranked the voltage up to 4.2 volts, but after a few minutes got a dry hit, so back down to 4.0 it is. Huge amounts of vapor, though. Grabbed my meter and measured the coil resistance; came in at 1.9 ohms! Web site says 2.8 to 3.2, but from what I see it is far below that. That would make this tank ideal for 3.7 volt vapers. Doing quick calculations, 4.0 volts into 1.9 ohms gives me about 8.4 watts of power. That is right at my ideal heat level; 4.2 volts would come in at over 9 watts, which may be too much for this CE2.

Anyway, if you use a single battery, 3.7 volt device, this tank will give you an almost perfect vape. It looks pretty good; its diameter is most suited for a larger, tube mod battery.

Thanks for that information. I will have to check the ohms now myself. The manufacturer told me 2.8-3.2 so that's what I put. Shoot the ohms meter is at the warehouse. I might have to take a trip

Thanks much for the info !

I just ordered five of these and am eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Thanks,

Hope y'all got plenty of those tanks in stock! I was impressed enough that I ordered 3 more yesterday.

 

[MXBNW]

I think I will run up to the shot this week and check these out.

Let us know what you think about them, Wayne. Your reviews are always appreciated

 

[badkarmaiii]

The wife and I have been running Cartzillas since lunchtime and they are very impressive!
I found that a little petroleum jelly on the silicone seal helps keep it from turning while tightening the top cap.

Thanks,
Lee

I know I should have ordered one! Now it states they are out of stock...maybe next time and a few more reviews.

Got mine yesterday. Had 'bout two hours of vaping bliss... then... da same ol' CE curse, dry acrid vape! When are 'they' gonna get it right.

Really disappointed!

I talked to a few people who told me some tricks.

The first one is to have a thin enough liquid so that it can wick properly.
Fill it 2/3 of the way, then roll it in your hand to start the wicking (Apparently this is the perfect wicking level?)

See if that helps.

When the tank got to 'bout half level is when the troubles started. I have to continually 'roll' it to get the joose to da coil. Even then, it's a crap shoot. Sure did enjoy the flav in the beginning.

I 'enlarged' the cup slots, still no joy...

ETA: I'm using 60PG/40VG in the 'ZILLA. I won't be a 'slave' to my equipment. Hopefully a decent fix will be discovered...

Here is my experience with the cartzilla tank which i have had for several days and have gone at least 5 tanks as i vape and vape and vape.

The site says the ce2 is rated at 2.0 - 2.2 ohms.
I put this tank on my ego and the vape at first a little nasty and its been my experience that the ce2 needs a little breaking in to bring out the full flavor .
It did for me after about a half a tank.

But vaping tank on my megalodon i get a burnt taste after a few pulls , put back on the ego right away and vape was perfect.
Over the course of a few days it just gives me burnt taste on my don which is 3.7 the ego is lower voltage from many posts i have read about 3.2 to 3.4 or so.
I put it on my madvapes vv box and turned the pot until it just fired up and the vape was really good never a burnt taste for me until i started to turn it up a little more then the burnt taste arrived.

In short i really really like the tank and with a higher ohm ce2 this will shine for me personally.

Also a freshly charged mod battery off the charger probably comes in around 4.2 volts just perhaps too much for a low res ce2 such as these.

I will when this ce2 burns out unsolder the wires and remove porcelain cup from the airtube and slip on a higher ohm ce2 and solder the wires and that will enable me to vape with my other devices not a problem.

It my belief because of the low ohm ce2 it does that or its my 100%pg juice.

Also perhaps in future i will try and mod that bottom cap with a permanent 510 connector for my personal use so when i replace a dead ce2 i can just screw in another unless the manufacture does that first.

Ah, but mine seem to work great. I DIY most of my juices, and usually I try to get 20% or less PG, and at least 80% VG. This should make a pretty thick juice; but, the first thing I always do when I get a new bottle of VG is pre-thin the entire bottle with 20% distilled water. This thins my VG down to a more realistic level for use in devices that have long wicks like the CE2. Doing so, I have never really noticed any significant wicking problem with my clearomizers, nor with the Cartzilla. I have, though, noticed that some juices hold up much better to more heat. For example, in this tank I am vaping Gummy Bears (this one was a purchased mix) and I have my VV mod showing 4.2 volts. Been vaping with it all day, and have yet to hit a dry spot. The previous tank I had a DIY Blueberry Cream. It held up great to about 4 volts, but over that the flavor would start to fry and I would lower the voltage back down. My very first tank was DIY peach, and it too could take 4.2 volts without any problem. I must admit, though, that I won't put a real thick juice into a CE2 device, simply to prevent any wicking issues; and it seems to work. Such is the pleasures of VV.

I just got my cartzilla today and bummer! the ceramic cup chipped putting the cap on. it seems that the silicon cap twisted and caught the slit on the ceramic cup and broke! this sucks! I just hope they sell the bottom replacements. this is what i'm worried about on this tank. now i'm SOL!

 

[linnx]

If it was defective just contact us at 1-888-418-2215 Mon-Fri 8am-4pm PST. Or open a ticket and we will take care of you. It definitely should not happen under normal use. Please call us ASAP.

linnx! you guys are the best!! best customer service ever!! I was just on hold for few seconds and replacement will be shipped! I will be a repeat customer for sure! I know another site sells them but customer service over there sucks!

Update: a second after posting this response I received my tracking number! replacement in less than 10 minutes! WOW!!!!

 

[badkarmaiii]

I contacted ECX, via live chat, regarding a CartZilla issue and Cherie handled things in an exemplary manner!
Will be placing another order on Friday.

Thanks,

I have a?? just ordered a couple of Cartzillas, it says the ce2 is 2 ohms so on my Proverb would I Seychelles that at 4.5 and be ok and also if the ce2 breaks can I replace the ce2.

 

[linnx]

Well theoretically at 2ohm you should only vape at maximum 4 volts to get the best lifespan from it. I have heard people say that they vape it higher, but to go to 4.5 the ohms should technically be 2.5.

Yes, the inside is replaceable - Inside replacements should become available after the Chinese holiday.
