IKV 510 Platinum V2 versus IKV Premium 510 Platinum cartomizers

[Switched]

Plus it gives me terrific headaches, I just can't vape over 20% vg and sometimes get headaches at 20%.

The downside to being sensitive to VG is vapour production. OTOH the downside to being sensitive to PG is TH. Not being a TH fan I enjoy the VP. That being said all VG liquids make "stealth" vaping near impossible as the vapour lingers much much longer. If I were to guess, I would estimate at a rate of 3/1.

It is not easy in the beginning to sort out what we may be sensitive to, with all the chemical withdrawals we are going through. After a spell it is fairly easy once we become accustomed to what our bodies are telling us. It is nice that we (most of us) have a choice between the two, to remain smoke free.

Haha they'll definitely take liquid, if it's PG with a less percentage of VG though. Many cartomizers that have a tighter woven filler for better absorbency tend to not agree with a higher ratio of VG. Switcher is accurate as always. Please use VG with distilled water as a PG replacement as a replacement is usually always necessary with cartomizers. Also Please use all VG liquids ONLY if you are allergic to PG. There is a very low percentile of people that show allergies to PG. VG can damage atomizers and cartomizers alike as they cause a gunky build up around the unit's environment and heating core.as it burns.

This is my first order from IKV. I got 10 510 Platinum V2 Cartos and 3 Premium 510 cartos in today. I wish I got 10 premium and 3 V2. The premium are the best cartos I have ever tried on my Joye EGO. It was easy to fill with the condom method and the throat hit, taste are great. I thought they where going to be to airy but when I put the cone on and got it going I was like this is a perfect drag for me. If these things where clear like a E2 I would buy a thousand of them. The V2s was easy to fill, taste and vapor is there but man these things are way to hard to drag, its like trying to suck a ball threw a straw but for a buck I will use them until I suck so hard I get a headache. I plan on trying these on my 3.7 but I do not think anything will change to much..Thanks IKV for the great cartos and I will be making another order soon.

Do the V2's still have a hard draw after taking the cone off the eGO or is it too loose then?

I know what you mean. That was my first impression as well. Isaac suggested a simple solution that works. Just take a paper clip and stick in the two side holes at the bottom of the thread. It will open them up and allow for more airflow...

Hi Passer!
Oh yes, the V2 Plats do provide a very constricting draw to attempt to match an actual cigarette. This is proven to work to loosen it up a bit. On the bottom of the cartomizer, right above the threading, grab a tooth pick or needle and give a poke to both holes. The internal design will allow the procedure to be done safely. you don't need to spear it persay, but just enough to break the oem barrier. In regards to the CE2 , we're in the works of our own variation

To answere the dearler..... just a little not much at all.

To Iken; thanks for the info but I do not like to mod my stuff at all I just want to put my juice in and vape, If I pay for something I feel like I should not have to do something to make it work better. Thats great news about the CE2. I have a question what is the difference between the Premium IKV 510 gold and platinum besides being out of stock.

I hope it's clear.

I like the E2 clears or whatever name they are called (they have so many) but #1 I had to remove the second ring and replace it with a 510 soft ccap and then put the soft ccap that comes with it on too so I would stop getting so much juice in my mouth.
#2 Although the flavor is still there I've noticed I get allot more flavor with the fusion and the 510 drip tip carto than the clear one.
So if you do make one please make one that doesn't emit juice in the mouth and doesn't restrict the taste. Maybe it's not diminishing the taste maybe it's just because you cartos enhance the taste so much.

Definitely on the same page Passer, hence the discontinuation/further developing It was just a remedy suggestion. Precision on such a small scale on a mass production scale can be extremely difficult.

As the 510 Platinum V1 sports a vertical heating coil to provide intense heat through out the cartomizer for high vapor production. The Gold V1 is tailored to have a horizontal coil near the very bottom to provide more room for liquid and a lower liquid consumption rate. The Gold V2 has a vertical setting as the Platinum V2 is like the Gold V1 with the horizontal setting

I hope it's clear.

LOL and also the actual feeling can use a bit more tweaking. I picked up a pack the other day not realizing it was 808 standard. so the airflow is a bit constricted on the 901 device so judgment is off a bit. E2 is definitely getting there and your totally right of the flavoring really starting to shine in these guys. Clear is the main objective good buddy.

Hey everyone I'm sorry about the double c that this stupid keyboard has been doing lately. It has also picked up a double period once in awhile. It only does it when I'm not looking. Like that last post.
