LOL! Vaping ritual! That's hilarious!
Poor poor Loftie
Ya don't have a vaping ritual? Issac sells 'em for $9.99 in a special corner of his store Does anyone know if this would be compatible with the variable voltage Ego Booster?
Just an update... had isaac send me a couple more tanks to continue testing and I'm having bad luck with one of them. Draw is very tight and its leaking more than the first. Couple drops leaked out the top and ran down the side/through the window. The plastic seems to bulge a little on the battery end which is why I believe the draw is tight. I'll see if it gets any better with time.

Mine doesn't leak a drop. I got a small seal and put it inside. I can turn it any direction and it doesn't leak. I had to do that with another ce2 before.
BTW Loft, or Swithed it now blinks 3 or 4 times after I take a puff but only sometimes. It didn't do that before. Does that mean the battery is getting low?

Not sure wrt the batt getting low. Just got my stuff in today and will be posting tomorrow
I believe so - about the battery. Unless you're taking 10 second drags in which that is the circuit cutoff threshold.
The unit is classy as seen by 5card's pictures and it is akin to be suitably found in a ladies evening purse or the breast pocket of a suit. Yes it is that classy. There is no mistaken this unit as a personal vaporizer
Preps
I am not a fan of CE2s but I must admit that this one wicked almost instantly and with no foul taste. Vapour production was on par with the rest of my devices and the TH more than adequate. Flavour on the other hand was non existent to faint until about 2-3 hrs in. As I am writing this I am on my second tank and the unit has performed flawlessly do date and the flavour is coming through although muted somewhat.
Compatibility
Although this unit will accept the eGo cone, it is not compatible with the remaining eGo products e.g. mega atties and tanks. The skirt of the eGo products are too long to allow the positive post of the tank assy to make contact with the positive post of the Ikon battery. The Ikion tank however will fit a std eGo batt.
Pros
The unit is extremely stylish and a pleasure to vape. I was really impressed with its performance as I have stated I am not a fan of the CE2s, nor will I ever be. OTOH this CE2 style atty works. Other than a requirement to fill with a syringe (minor beef) and slightly muted flavour, I have no real qualms with this unit.
The $1K question - Would I buy one? It is too early to say and of course it is price point dependent. Not knowing the price point makes it hard to speculate at this time. The availability of replacement parts is also a big factor when weighing in a decision.
In closing, I never had a dry hit from the unit which is a noted problem with CE2s.

Preps
- The unit metered at 2.3Ohm and the battery was fully charged when received;
- Requires a syringe to fill the unit. It comes with a 20g syringe which is totally useless with VG liquids; and
- Loaded 2ml of Bluemist Caramel Tobacco 12mg 100% VG.

Pros
- Extremely stylish for formal settings. The unit will never be confused for anything other than a personal vaporizer;
- Operates at 3.7V (non PWM);
- Delivers great vapour and a decent throat hit;
- Holds a decent amount of liquid (2ml);
- The mouth piece is hard plastic (personal preference) and can accept a std 801 drip tip (not tried);
- Has a sight window to provide the user with a visual reference of how much liquid remains;
- The eGo cone can be fitted and the unit vaped with a regular 510 or 306 atty; and
- The tank can be used on other devices provided you have a 510 to eGo connector as it is the skirt that screws on to the battery, not the atty itself.
- The unit is proprietary out of the box. However the unit can be easily converted to suit other devices (adapter);
- Requires a syringe to fill the tank. It comes with a 20g syringe which is totally useless unless using PG liquids;
- The syringe is not blunt (safety). OTOH an 18g blunt tip syringe can fill this unit if at first you puncture the opening with the 20g (pop its cherry);
- The top cap although a nice concept for keeping the mouth piece sanitized is a fail IMO. The lack of a positive locking mechanism renders an ability to loose the top cap. A better way to secure the top cap would be the simple use of an O-ring; and
- 5 LEDs at the side and the bottom. As they serve no useful purpose (since the button lights up) are redundant. I believe we have moved away from light shows and bling. Furthermore, it is my opinion that the LEDs take away a certain a mount of class this device holds.

Thanks. Very informative.
Do you think flavor would be better with 80/20 or 70/30 PG/VG? Also, when you say muted flavors, are we talking about in comparison to dripping or other cartos? I suppose if the resistance were dropped a little, flavor could become stronger (i.e. the difference between a normal Fusion and an LR Fusion at 3.7 volts).
Taking a break from vaping and whatnot... have come down with a pretty nasty sinus infection
Try a menthol vape?
You have been hitting it pretty hard so maybe it's best to slow down. Thanks for the info you gave on this.
Well I remembered my CE2 MAP tank vaping and with the quick down hill swirl of the hand between puffs like I did with it and this baby really rocks now. There's a prime example of user error even from someone that knows how too. I'm really enjoying this thing more and more as we become accustomed to one another.
BTW great review Swithed as always and I agree. But not with vaping VG.

I'm thinking this is a random 'one-off' for these tanks. The first two were fine, and the fourth (not filled) looks and fits fine. Gonna toss this one and fire up another with some Pure Smoker Minthia to hopefully cool my throat.
Finally made my way to my desk to see this... sigh
Tank bone dry and leaked all over my desk.

What kind of terrible bad things have you done to that poor thing Loft? LOL Mine hasn't leaked a drop (knock on wood)
