hmmm...is this HIS creation or is this being distrbuted? Rod from Harmony has distributer interest linky on his site...maybe he is letting the e-cigz people sell it...

did you buy from Harmony or the aussie site?


What the hey. I ordered a couple of the attys and 8 of the tanks. I'm hoping they can be closed off with the juice in them so I can carry them around as backups - so to speak.

Note that 'eCigz' guy is (also) selling them as a kit with a 510 battery, where the 'Harmony' guy is recommending an eGo.

It’s an old, classic cart design. There is a flat side on the “tank” (look closely) to let air get around it. The spacer on the top maintains the air-bypass-spacing at the mouthpiece. Air enters through the thread holes in the atty, goes by the tank and out the mouthpiece hole… just like a mini…

I suspect you could be right.

Stage one of my wick “troubleshooting” is complete. Sorry I’m unable to do videos but you’ll get the idea… and you can do it yourself with little trouble. And I believe I unintentionally confirmed br’s suspicions about the gunk-in-the-slits.

First I took an unused R4, cleaned & dry-burned. Cut off the tube & put it into an empty, completely dry syringe-mod (un-topped). Maintaining vertical, I carefully placed a large drop of water (I know, I know… but this is experimentation and water is a good, constant control liquid) at the base, deliberately avoiding the wicks. Fired the coil and tilted & rolled the unit to bring the water to a wick tail, maintaining as much vertical as possible. Immediately upon wick/water contact, the water raced – no… it FLEW up the wick into the cup, dousing the orange glow across the entire length of the coil. Startlingly fast. Holy shyte fast! Repeat, repeat, repeat.

I repeated the process with a stock R4 out of the box (cleaned & dry-burned). Identical results. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Then, I repeated the entire process in the syringe with a very well used & lesser performing R4 with the classic gunked-at-the-slits wick. It wicked all of the water – but at a significantly slower speed… and never did completely douse the dry-burn glow from the coil. Plenty of stinky vapor on the water side but the coil did not get entirely cooled. Repeat, repeat, repeat…

It appears that the “gunk”, which has previously been observed to separate & brittle-ize the wick strands (to look & act like charring or burning) is actually clogging the wick right before the liquid gets to the real heat.

Add to this the cooler actual operating temperature & our juice viscosity issues and well, you get the idea…

If this delivers a constant drip(or dip or tip)-quality vape for 5ml worth of juice... I'm sold. Despite the E2s, E2 mods and Raidy's genesis, I find I keep returning to my trusty old exposed atty device. On a good day, when it's a-sizzling, there's something about it that can't be beat (at least yet), and it's not to do with shear volume of vapour.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. I finally got a 3.0Ω 510 XL that works like it ought to. It's the 5th one out of a box. I had to remove the tube and tinker with it a bit, but this one SMOKES! Every now and then I think the wick quits working right, but then I find out that the tank is dry. In other words, it's going through a refill faster than I am accustomed to. I need to learn how to keep my sips a little smaller. Man, I wish I could get all of them to do this.

by removing the tube you mean you made it one of your bottle mods or you adjusted the wick length and slipped it back up in the original tube?

What does that mean, to tinker with it a bit? lol

I am testing this one in its original tube and removing it for inspection and possibly cleaning at each refill. I did a bit more than adjust the wick length.
