Well, drat! I've got my selection in my cart. But, when I click the cart icon to check out I get a never ending busy symbol (rotating circle thing).

It could have something to do with my connection. I'm in a hotel in Kissimmee, Florida. But, everything else appears to be working ok. Bummed out a bit. Will probably be sold out again before I get it resolved.

I saw the same behavior. I was able to get to my cart by looking down on the left side of the COV home page for the link to my cart. That link allowed me to get to my cart and checkout.

BTW;

Snagged the last Mini MAP tank in 2.8 oHm earlier today. Also ordered two packs of the replacement CE cartos. I like the idea of having a 2.5ml tank as opposed to a 5 ml tank. Seems like with the TV juices I have I am needing to clean the coil at the 3ml marker so this will be perfect. Actually my Pure Vapes juices gunk up as well.

That happened to me also... must be something with the upper right link. The lower left does seem okay though.

Juice and a drip tip... you've got the battery so it sounds like you're good to go. I'm guessing you already have a syringe to fill it with. Enjoy!

yeh got my syringe today in the mail.. it's really thin though.. So my 650 mAh Battery will work? I don't need something 'bigger'?

Ordering a drip tip as we speak.. any 501/901 (Mega Ego) drip tips will work, right? ..http://www.cloudsofvapor.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=657&category_id=87&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=85 those ok?
if that's all I needed than I'm in heaven right now.. can't wait.. :).... kinda happy I didn't like my eGo-T..

I don't need a cartomizer or whatever? Edit: Or is the cartomizer in the tank itself? ..

I usually buy a 10-20ml syringe for filling, sounds like you may have one that's smaller.

You're powering a standard coil in that so the Ego Bat shouldn't be an issue.

510 DTs will work fine.

You'll get a cartomiser in the tank. You will need to stock up on CE2 XLs. Best to keep several backups on hand. Sadly, COV is still out of silver E2s.

You're almost there!

you got a link to where they would be?

Last question and I think I got it all covered for now:

I see most MAP Tank users use a 'modded' battery? Is that correct? But according to the videos I've seen (and Bruce saying it as well), it's not recommended to have a battery putting out over 3.7 volts? Since the eGo batteries put out about 3.1 volts I shouldn't even bother getting a different 'modded' battery?

Again, thanks. been watching lots of videos.. the best was the one by Bruce.. :)

On the COV site he only has the 3.2 black XLs left (7 boxes). You need to strip the outer cover to use them... I soak in alcohol for a couple of days - some boil it.

Due to the Spring Festival in CN production and shipping is really slow. They open back up next week. Even the manufacturer probably would take a month or more to ship a quantity order (100 or more). I know BB has had his order in so he should be seeing them pretty soon.

Most of us use mods, well, because we like mods? As long as you have a 3.7 bat with a 510 it should work fine... a lot of Ego users are using the MAP tanks. I like it on 3.7v, but occasionally use it on 5v - if you have a passthru you can try it to see if you like it.

I use the 2.8 all the time at 5v and works fine for me.

I strip the black cover off and remove any adhesive that is left I find it easier to R&R the coil into and out of the grommet that way. I use the 2.5 ohm re-placements for 3.7v and either the 2.8 or 3.0 for 5v. I swap between 2-E2 coils I do that for every new tank full, I find they gunk up kind of fast

It seems a number of people in this thread use them without stripping first. :confused:

Mine are very tight without the cover... it would never go in with the extra width. Don't see how anyone could fit them without reaming it out.

I agree, regualar cleaning keeps it burning at it's best. I think type of juice will decide when we need to clean the coil... I can make it 2 tanks - went 4 once but had a gigantic glob of crust to burn off.

In an earlier post I mentioned using food grade o-ring and seal lube on the bottom delrin cap so it slides easier into the tube. It's so much nicer just being able to remove the cap and re-seat the cap using finger strength only. When I replace my CE2 XL I'm going to try using a bit on the CE2 where it goes into the cap. I'm willing to bet it will then be removable by hand quite easily.

Ditto. I use my 2.8 and my 3.2 on a Big KaZoo for the best vapes.

The following issue/interesting observation may have been covered somewhere in this gigantic thread so please direct me to the conversation if it is has. I'm seeing vapor in the tank as the liquid level lowers. Could this mean the top isn't properly seated or is this part of normal operation?

And, because the vapor occurs after I've vaped I consider the liquid contaminated if it sits in there overnight and toss it. How do you MAPers deal with leftover juice in general?

That's the nature of these bigger tanks, vapor will condensate. You can continue to draw after to remove it but it's not harmful to your liquid.
