New IKV 510 Cartomizers have arrived!

I personally found wickedws6's comment rather tasteless, therefore abstained from comment. The early bird catches the worm.

I agree and wanted to be as nonchalant as possible on my replay by pointing out that Ikens post was posted on the 13th and not the 14th as he stated.
Anyways, Mean while, back at the ranch.........
vape On.....

Wrt refill value, I don't know about these but I had one of the old ones last me 5 weeks before it went poof, and was never/nor did it need to be washed. Speaking of washing, the remainders new a wash and dry cycle as they are staring to taste musty.

Switcher! I missed you my friend!
5 weeks with no maintenance? Very very cool good sir. That was at 5V on the SLB, right? Ahh so many acronyms these days. A dear friend of mine has had KR-808 cartomizers running for almost a year with maintenance ofcourse. I'll bet that you know this stuff already but it's nice to have that info out there.Her process includes running hot water throughly, using a low setting on an air compressor, then sun baking.

Just got mine today they are wonderful. Ordered both the hard and soft cap, but I haven't tried the soft cap yet. This is my 1st time using cartomizers and I get as much flavor as I do with my LR801 atty and the vapor and TH of my LR 510 attys. Seems like there the best of both worlds. I only drip on my attys and don't use carts. I filled them from the cap end without removing the cap and got 30 drops in, spun it around over my head inside a zip lock bag and was able to get another 5 drops in. Didn't have to blow it out and didn't have any juice get in my mouth. I highly recommend these cartomizers best thing I have found so far. By the way I'm vaping on a 3.7v box mod.

Just beautiful Jmaul! It's so good to hear that your really digging these! I can't stop envisioning someone spinning a bog over their head! lol Like Wway's Tarwin? Spin. If you don't want to wait a few minutes in between drops (drop your 25, wait 5 minutes, drop a few a more) You can always add your liquid, then turn it up side down and pack it like you would a pack of analogs. it has the same packing effect.

Thanks for the compliment/reply Iken......
You have high quality merchandise. And I can tell you have a passion and you have set a very high standard for what you sell. That is what will keep me comming back to you. I'm lookin forward to gettin my cartomizers soon. I hope you get your VHV 901's back in stock soon. Not to many people sell those.
Thx
Vape On.....

Thank you TV! Your good words truly mean the world. It's a great pleasure good sir. We're getting there with the Xhv 901. 'Businessly' speaking they have been a great success, but I feel they need more tweaking as they didn't fit too well personally. The saying goes "If it ain't broke.." However there's always room for improvement. Tonight we have an appointment with our favorite engineer.

My new IKV 510 cartomizers arrived yesterday. Thank you, Iken, for taking the time and going into the trouble of finding the lower resistance ones (2.6Ω) for me. I was worried that 2.9Ω would be too high for the eGo batts, and I still feel this way.

They work beautifully on the Riva, great draw and clean flavor. Just as good as the other SLBs, only better. However, by the end of day 2, my carto started to get sluggish and the draw tightened considerably, so I moved it to a 3.7-4.0v device and it really came back to life. These are clearly made for higher voltage vaping, 3.7+v.

I wish they were available in the 2.1-2.4Ω range. For all of us eGo/Riva users... hint...hint...

Yeah it's good to be home. My trial of the AW LifePo4s is complete, and the battery FAQ should be done by the end of next week. I revisited the direction 3 times, but I believe I now have a happy medium.

Nope! The carto was used at 3.7V exclusively (after a trial at 5-6V), 5-6V was too hot for me and I could taste the "burness" in the vape. This is regardless of which carto I was using. I did take it apart and the protected sleeve between the batting was burnt.and some of the batting itself. Know I do not know what to blame this on: 5V or 5 weeks In all honesty I believe the former.

 

[Iken]

Haha i gotcha Katya. I'll look into dropping a few decimals for testing. A drop from 2.9 to 2.0 can be very significant though. No worries though, we'll keep fine tuning to perfection.




Just Fantastic Switcher! I know it will just be Perfect by far. We'll photoshop it with heavy watermarks so the battery manufactures themselves won't steal it! LOL Just kidding ofcourse. More folks that have this valuable information, the better.

Hmm yes. Sometimes it's easy for us (Forumer's) to take advantage of certain technologies. 5 weeks of solid use on just one cartomizer says, good handling and care was being done. Not to mention your liquid mixing is spot on. For under 2 bucks for one month is still pretty great. Maybe it could've been both factors? Where the High voltage weakened it and the maintenance free run time just turned it in. 2 sides, like God vs. Evolution. It can be logical for both to be true. Even though I hard time believing we derived from Chimps. As they still do exist, but maybe thats just an Ego thing.

That it is, my friend, that it is. Something very few folks can do vaping at 6V from a stock cart (not bragging here) but I do. At present I am vaping Cash Tab with a 4.5Ohm atty at 6V on my lizard, well more like 5.67V under load but 6V nonetheless. Unfortunately, can't do the same with cartos though albeit I use the same liquids.

Ahh I see good sir. You just gave me an idea! What would you say if we were to implement our findings from the HV510 to Cartomizer form?

 

[Switched]

My mistake in my previous post the SLB HV = 3.5V not 4.5 as stated.

If we are going to go all out on this, I could seriously see a 4.2-4.5 carto at 6V for an 8.5-8 watt experience. SLB of course.

Most folks want to see cartos in the LR variety, I OTOH would like to see some designed for HV vaping. IMMHO heat is definitely not everything.

Exactly right my good man. it would be very wise to be weary of LR cartomizers and standards on normal/high voltages.Singeing then inhaling the polyester just has to be very dangerous. Granted most user's know how to dispose of burned cartomizers but the question is, how many people really do throw them away after they ran their courses.

 

[Switched]

I hear you my friend. Funny thing though, it never tasted burnt at 3.7V and it wasn't discovered until the autopsy. Mine quit because it went poof, not because it was fouled in any way. I will openly admit you have some winners here, and that my dear Issac is a $10K compliment, because it comes from someone who previously hated cartos. Have a beer on me Salute!

Salute! Ya know, I'm using one right now and have been much more ever since we got them! So we'll share those 10g's 50/50 my friend.

That's exactly it Switcher. The "not knowing" of when it's happening. Atleast when cartomizer's burn,it's not significant burn-age going on, mainly frays and tidbits. I tried to alleviate this with the Premie's by using as minimal 'loose' poly as possible and replacing the majority with the 'rolled' thicker type that has advantages in more than one way, like absorption and lower burning rates. From seeing another vendor post photo's of many types of 510 cartomizer's. I see they're following suit with this design. Ahh business.

On a side note. Thank god you made it home safely! You had me biting nails here! Imaging riding through what could be snowy/icy mountain tops. Very much glad and relieved to see you good buddy.

 

[VaporMadness]

Ok... I'm gonna have to get some of these Premie 510 cartos next time i place an order. Any chance you'll stock them w/o tape or paint, just the silver canister?

Absolutely, these were only the trial run. Now that i feel safe, we can make a higher demand comfortably. Another reason was for the purpose of Heat as the wrappers are intended to protect from. Even though they're top performers they don't give off that intense exterior heat that other LR cartomizers give.

Cool beans! I'm personally not concerned about the heat... a short drip tip is more comfy than a taped or bare canister so I have in mind to do that.

Just awesome Mr Madness. You know, for the past couple of days it seems everyone is posting that they're using drip tips with cartomizers and I'm the odd man out! Rob over at LQ unveiled his new Wild Pawn drip tip from whats going to be a full chess piece set at VapeFest. Wild Pawn 510 Drip tips as I understand it, they are all American made and pretty classy to boot. Maybe I'll keep bugging him till he sends one so i can be part of the 'cool' group!

 

[Switched]

Nah, you and me are on the same page isaac. I do not use a drip tip on a carto as well. I vape a carto "au naturel" I'm a purist ya know

 

[Chelseafn]

Well after having these for 3 days I have had to throw away 3 of them. They wouldnt hit on anything. Tried on my little chuck and the 3.7 ST. Nothing dead. I checked other cartos to see if it was the batts but they work fine. Cleaned off the brass parts. Did everything I could think of. Not sure what happened. They worked fine then just died. For me anyway things are not looking to good. I filled up a new one and it works perfect. Maybe I just got a bad batch? However I still like these. Ill just have to see the how long the new one lasts.

 

[Chelseafn]

Make that 4 now. Not sure what is going on. But I filled a new one it worked for a mintue and quit. wont fire at all. sorry for being the bearer of bad news. Just thought you would like to know. Filling another one. Ill see what happens with this one.
