Nice pics Butters.


Aside from holding a bit more juice, the most interesting difference seems to be positive post. Looks as though with the contact not being recessed into the inner ring, that the airflow restriction that occurs with some batteries may not be a issue with this brand?

So where did you find these?

I just refilled my 2nd Vision/Stardust - for the first time - & it's now got cracks at the base that weren't there when I first filled it. My first one, which I've refilled many times with my go-to Spearmint, doesn't have a single crack. They were both ordered at the same time. Now I'm starting to wonder if I should have bought any more... I hope what GotVapes sends me is the new revision, and they don't spontaneously, yet randomly develop cracks.

Well Ecigfair is the retail arm of MiT, the CE2 folks. It would appear that those CE4+ clearomizers are not the same as the Vision ones. Vision does have it's own site and does not appear to be affiliated with MiT.

You'll note GotVapes does say Vision.

So much mass confusion these days. Ecigfair also has some dual coil cartos, I wonder if they are a MiT or Smok product.

Oh well.

Gotvapes Stardust: Taking It Apart II - YouTube

Couple of things I do just a little different than shown in RockinRobbies excellent video.

1) Back out the mouthpiece 1/2 turn before lining up and pushing the core back in. Helps to insure a tight seal after final assembly when screwed all the way.

2) After cleaning and dry burning the wick I use a pin to fluff up the wick from the inside out where it enters the cup making sure that the wick is expanded so no opening into the cup exist . This insures proper wicking, and prevents flooding.

A far as the actual cleaning, before dry burning I drop the core in the ultrasonic filled with very hot water for a few minutes first. Just the core, not the tank! After dry-burning, just rinse out again, dab the wick dry, fire the coil a few times to dry off the inside, put a drop of juice directly on the coil, reassemble, fill and vape away.

Really is easy after doing it a few times.

Ultimate way to take apart the Stardust!


Was watching this video and your rewicking one the other day and a buddy of mine walked into the office. He said the rewicking is something he does on his Zippo lighter (cant get him to try e-cigs yet). He said for his wick (zippo lighter) he uses the wick from the candles/torches you burn outside to keep bugs away (NOT the prefilled candles btw). Not sure what kind of material they are made from, just thought I would share the idea.

Don't try to use a Zippo or Any other type of Lighter Wick.

The wick in a Lighter does the Same Thing but the Material of a Lighter wick will Burn. Where as the Wick in a Carto/Atty doesn't.
