Okay, first off I love the vape these puppies put out w/the stingray batt! So here's my question/problem ~ The vision regulars are supposed to hold 1.5 ml which is ok, more would be better, less isn't enough, as I have to refill too often. I've been vaping my first one still and noticing I have to refill quite a bit, way more than I like. So I pull out a new one, fill a syringe to 1.5 ml and commence the filling. At 1 ml it is at the bottom of the cup. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and try to put more in and get maybe 1-1/2 more mls before it's coming out of the top of the cup seal and out the bottom. So how do you get the so called 1.5 in them and not lose almost .5 of it while filling or when you put the tip on it? Or is that how much they really hold??

I would love to get the mini's or giant's but they are bigger in diameter than the batt and that would drive me nuts :)

Thx everyone for your tips and help in advance :)

hmm I'm thinkin' they hold what they hold ....not much you can do about that ...except change to one of the bigger ones.

You might try filling more than one at a time ....
I have heard folks say they fill several @ a time & just switch 'em out throughout the day & refill them all at the same time & repeat...

I prefer using the bigger version w/bigger batts & filling less ,but since you love those particular batts & looks, it may be the way to go ???

yea, i think thats the issue, they don't hold as much as they say, mine works great, but definately vapes out faster than i'd like, i get maybe 45 minutes on it, at least 15 minutes less than with a fluxomizer.

i cut the nipple down on mine to about 1/8 inch or so, that helps with the air pocket, i fill right to the top, go slow when filling and that seems to help with any bubbles. then i suck up any excess thats probably now on the top or down the hole. then i get the cap just slight on the top and suck like crazy while i push it on. I then blow through with a towel on the bottom to get out any excess, like that i can get as small an air bubble as you gonna get and max juice.

i been meaning to try the 801 tip that was mentioned, supposed to eliminate the air bubble issue.

I've been using these in the smallest size ( Regular ) with just a reg Auto 510 Batt with a long 801 Drip tip and there just super with great flavor and mounds of vapor. I cant believe that I'm actually going backwards with Batts but to be able to get the amount of vapor & Flavor combo off of such a small set up is really nice. I remember the old old days when using a V4L type set up and felt like I was taking pulls that would take forever to get a vape but now with these it's just such a stealthy set up it makes for enjoying these small Batts, glad I saved some of them too. As for the amount they hold = well you probably get a bit more on the original fill because the wicks are dry, once filled those wicks blow up a bit and always seem to be wet for the most part, I would guess they hold more on that initial fill then on a refill possibly and maybe that's where they get the higher number.

ok the ml question is easy to answer, the original regualr visions with old base was a full 1.5 the new ones are more or less 1.3 becuase of the new base and didnt realize this until just recently. the old base is lower, the new base is bigger but better.

now the vision comes in 3 ohms and 4 sizes. the new 2.5 to 2.7 are better then ever and many are coming in at the 2.5 to 2.6 range on the lower ohm'd ones. impressive they are

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks Bad :)... So now my question would be, what do you have that is still the same diameter as the stingray, but holds more juice?? Still talking visions here, as I'm really falling in love w/them. Just need tanks to hold more juice for my chain vaping obsession :)

Wow, 45 minutes? Really? :) OMG, you guys vape waaaaaay harder than I do. I did an experiment tonight, and couldn't empty the regular in three hours... There is still a little left on the bottom, too. And I got a headache for my trouble. I guess I have a long way to go before I gain the right to call myself a chain-vaper! :D

well briar that is the issue, to some the regular is a all dayer, to others its 1 hour, to me its both depending how i vape that day but yeah i can empty one in 1 hour but thats totally chain vaping it to death, but i can also make it last all day and do so all the time, i go for the look, so its either the stretch or regular when i go out and a mini and giant at home with the matching battery for the moment.

vaping is not a one size fits all and never will be, i could drop a 2000 mah stick style with the perfect voltage and a matching carto that lasts all day and gives more vapor then anything on the market and people will still prefer their own setup, many would switch but many like what they like and thats ok, thats what makes vaping so special, the fact that its not one size fits all make this more then a hobby, its now a lifestyle, it comes with a issue though, we are always chasing something and are never satisfied(me included) and it also makes it hard for new comers, either they get a 10 buck disposable and it eventually doesnt satify and is a pain with buying another 10 buck disposable, or they go the stick style kit route which gets old quick but still is what i would recommned to a newcomer regardless of short battery life(this is solved with the stingray in my opinion), then they move on to more, bigger, badder, more flavors etc...

There is no way we can please you all, i think you all know this, but thats why we dont just sell you one thing, we improved the ce2 for oyu, believe it or not we did, we pressed until new tubes came, we pressed until the ohms where spread out to many options including our exclusive HV ohm for ce2, we gave you the vision and improved that, new tube, new base and now 3 ohm choices becuase you ask for it.

we brought on smoktech dual coils and tanks and there is much more on the way.

so point being, sometimes you have to try alot to find what works for you the most becuase one size doesnt fit all.

dude you guys rock with all the new stuff...
but i am loving these stingray batts and if there was a xl regular vision to match the stingray batt i would buy a couple. same diameter just say half inch longer or something like that.
mods are mods and ect but with a stick batt i hate to break the lines with a mismatching carto
just sayin ;)
