Does anyone have a good youtube video with steps of removing the ce2 and cleaning the MAP tank? I'll post one below, but I don't know if that's the best way or not. Input?

Is there another tool anyone recommends to pull the bottom center pin out a little? I don't have an eyeglass repair kit at the moment.
Got a small blade up in there and pried it out a little. However, when I screw it back on to the adapter; it's being pushed back up. I'm not even putting it on that tight! Any suggestions now?
just make sure your CE2 is fully seated into the bottom Delrin cap. Mine came inserted only about half way which was fine because I wanted to take it apart and look at it anyway.

This is a good tutorial if you want to replace the CE2 (as Chris states in the vid). Seems like pushing the center pin out through the top, to drain the juice out through the bottom, is easy enough but I don't think you'll get the center pin pushed back in properly to avoid leaks. Seems to me the factory seal is a one time shot. Maybe not, perhaps others with experience in this can add their input?

My question is this, when I seat the CE2 into the bottom Delrin cap, it takes a goodly amount of pressure to seat it. Definitely not doable with just finger pressure only. I had to seat the final bit by pushing down on the MAP tank onto a hard surface with some force.
Are others seeing that the CE2 fits tightly into the cap as I've described above?

I like this method and I'm going to try it when I do my first cleaning. You're right about leaving the CE2 in the bottom Delrin cap. Mine fit so tightly that the only they will come out is damaged.
Kudos to Bruce at COV!!!
Here's the story:
I received in my MAP tank with a 2.4 CE2 and a 3.2 as a spare. I filled my MAP with juice and immediately got a bad leak. The CE2 was fully seated. The tank was not overfilled and continued to leak most of the juice out (into a collection tank)
I took it all apart, cleaned it, and put in water the second time. Same bad leak.
I contacted Bruce via email to tell him about the problem. Next thing I know, I get an email from Bruce apologizing for the aggravation and asking me what oHm I'd like a replacement CE2 sent in. After I responded I then got an email telling me he had shipped me a replacement CE2, gaskets, and tank, aka "rebuild kit". Extremely quick emails and turnaround.
I was hesitant but I went ahead and replaced the bad CE2 with the spare I had ordered at the same time. Was a little gun shy due to the leak occurring "right out of the box" as it were. Absolutely no leaks, no issues whatsoever. Great taste and great vapor!
I have the MAP on my Provari and it's totally awesome. Seems the issue was a bad seal on the center pin at the connector which is why I posted earlier that I don't think you can push the center pin out and get it reseated/resealed properly. IMHO but I've been wrong before....once.
I've got 10 replacement CE2's at 2.5 oHm being delivered today. I now have total confidence in the MAP tank as a viable solution but more-so for Bruce as a vendor. Exactly the way I want to be treated by a vendor. Respectful, attentive, timely, not treated as a dummy because perhaps I did something wrong. I'm the kind of guy that actually reads the manual before using any piece of equipment. I lay everything out, check to make sure everything is there, not damaged, etc. I then search Youtube or other such sites to see if I can watch any applicable videos before I turn anything on. Drives my wife and son crazy.

MAP works, disregard the confusion. My Lil' Chuck has stopped working.
oh no.........
glad you got it figured out. Give us a review at some point to share your thoughts.

yeah repent. I dont like moving the center pin either. it is very hard to reseat correctly and thats where leaks occur. glad you go yours going again with the new cr2s.
My order came in today !!!!! HURRAY !!!!! I have 3 maps total now to share with my friends when they visit..... I have a question for anyone familiar with the CE2's ... I had ordered some extra CE2's to cut for my maps.
1... 510 E2 XL Cartomizer - Ceramic -Black v4 2.5 ohm.... Bruce had crossed out the black and gave me steel
2... KR808 XL E2 Cartomizer - Steel Ceramic v4 2.5 ohm
The only way to tell the difference for me because I am new to this is: The silver box " Vaporizer" says 510 on the side which tells me these are the 510 E2 XL and the a black box " Royal smokers says 808D Xl on the side which tells me these are the Kr808's.
The Kr808's measure close to 2 inches and are individually wrapped. The 510's E2's measure 1 1/2 inches and are package together like gum or pills would be wrapped so I can pop one out of the package to keep the others fresh. No where on the 510's does it say XL on the package or on the Carts...and they do look a lot smaller than the XL Kr808's. Did I receive a wrong order? Did I order the wrong ones? Or Maybe these are right and they just look small. I need some help before I open one of these 510's to cut for the Map!!
Thanks for any help.. Any one else out there cutting the E2's themselves for the Maps? What are you using - And If so how long do the 510'2 XL measure before cutting..
Thanks
Dan

If the 510's are packaged like you say they are , they are not XL's. All XL's come in single packaging so you can't use those in a MAP Tank they wil be too short. You have the wrong ones

Don't bother cutting them before removing the case. Screw them into an Ego battery and bend gently back and forth until you start to feel them give way and then slowly bend back and forth some more and then wiggle the case off. They are only pressed on with a crimp. Now if you want to cut the case, its much easier and less risky without the carto inside. Cut your 1/2" piece and place it back on the carto. I will say that I don't even bother with the cut piece anymore. I tried it without for a few times and it didn't leak, so I stopped cutting them.

I would just clean it under hot tap water. Then if you're worried about water minerals or impurities, rinse it in an aspirin bottle with distilled water. Let it dry overnight and then dry fire it. If it's still charred, probably time for a new one.
I have boiled water in microwave in a coffee cup. Soak the tip in the boild water.... Lightly... lightly ....... lightly scrub the coils with a tooth brush....dry it....... then dry burn.... then I soak in rubbing alcohol... lightly..... lightly...... lightly scrub coil.... dry burn ... soak in alcohol...... and air dry..... I'm not a pro, been vaping under 6 months, but after reading lots of ways - This has worked for me and my E2's are as good as new and I can use them within the day because the rubbing alcohol evaporates faster than water!!!
