Maxx Fusion Cartomizer Autopsy and Parts Explenation

I think the the polyfill layers were just taken off in that picture if I'm not mistaken.

We let the 510 people deal with all the growing pains of 'clearomizers', and hopefully by the time the 808 models come out they will work well. Right now there are a lot of issues with that type of carto that I wasn't aware of until I read around.

When I started my post, I started looking into the clearomizers, but I too read nothing but problems.

So is that what yours look like? Anyone else? Mine have a very thin fabric wrap, followed by a wrapping of polyfill. I'm tired of tearing mine apart or I'd post more pics. Maybe later, I'm too busy vaping.

 

[Rift]

Mine are like the ones in the pictures I posted at the beginning of this thread. Are ya talking about what I refer to as the second layer of polyfill? Or something completely different?

 

[cryx]

Here's the one I fix by removing the adhesive. Now that I have nic all over my fingers maybe I'll get a contact buzzed. I rinsed the wrappings so the texture is clear. The inner wrap isn't woven or fraying like that.



Quite unexpectedly, the wicked looks incredibly cleaner than when I fixed it? And when I inspected it the next day? Maybe regularly using it on passthru burned/cleaned it off???

Mine all also had the inner wrap around the tube. Then the poly fill around the inner wrap. I think they are to help keep the batting( I am a crafter) from burning.

Maybe the juice is not being heating high enough which is causing some of the problems?

 

[cryx]

I'm sorry, my bad. I had trouble seeing that it was one side of the tube that was cut away. Duh. It looked like a sock on the tube and some of the sock was cut away. It's been a long, long, day...

 

[Rift]

Yup cryx those are the same parts as the one I took apart. That second small layer to me is polyfill as well just a different density.

That's odd. Mine all had a thin fabric wrap around the tube, but yours show a braided sock type thing. Has anyone else seen that? The second pic looks very familiar. Ie. Burnt residue onto the silicone. It should clean off which means something in the carto became quite unhappy and deposited itself there.

The "charring" is apparently norm. My resuscitated ones have developed it again too, but they are still fine. The texture of the wick appears to be different than mine, and none of the leads on my coil were anywhere near that long! Mine just barely, if it all, emerged flush with the battery hole. It sure would have made reassembly easier.

I'm probably the last person anyone would expect to question the pics... Are you sure these are BMF cartos and not the Kangas others have talked about? Are they 1st or 2nd batch?

nope, they have solid white O rings...

Yes, the are Bloog Maxx Fusion blank cartos from the second batch that has the 2.4-2.6 ohms rating on the box. When I pulled the filler out, this braided sock was all that was left. It's possible the other piece your talking about came out with the filler and I did not notice?

Not problems, opportunities
Anyway, those don't seem to be anything like the 510 clearomizers

 

[crbrown]

we are working on a fillerless carto as well

I love the idea of being able to see whats going on in side of them, I think I wouldn't worry so much...must be my OCD (or in our house CDO)

True. I meant more the fact that the plastic cracks, disconnects from the battery end, and wicking issues with no filler.

Wicking issues with the 510 'clearomizers', that aren't designed like these.

oh ok.. so wont be a prob here haha...

 

[Goldenkobold]

they can't be totally immersed in liquid. The heating element that is, and there must be some dry path for the air to flow.

Exactly. There's a video (I won't post it here) regarding these, where it's admitted that there's currently problems with the design. They crack at the base, they're difficult to fill, and they leak.

 

[MichelleDen]

the leaking was one of my concerns...

Leaking and the clear plastic cracking. Sound familiar?
