I need 808's actually, have a bunch of batteries for my wife and want her to use them til they die. There's NONE of those in stock at Gotvapes yet... I use a bottom feeder with atty primarily myself. I'd get adapters but I like to keep things simple for her as I still haven't gotten her completely off analogs.

That makes sense then. Hopefully they'll get everything in stock soon. Gotta love that slow boat from China.

A quick update on my defective CE2s referenced a few posts above: I sent a note to the supplier who immediately replied by sending me a new pack. Thanks a lot!

Awesome! Glad to hear it. I just got my new CE2-Xs in yesterday from GotVapes. Once again, fantastic products! Fill and vape from the package, I love it!

Have used both Fluxomizer's and new C2's from myvaporstore, 50/50 Cinnamon Mist juice. The latest version, (Martinez calls R6 according to BB at CoV), wick up a storm, but still cracks at the batt connector. Have gone back to E2 XL metal version. Never had one of them crack. JMHO

Cheers,

So what's up with this shortage of c2s? did everyone hold off on ordering in hopes the Giantomizer would be the next rage and now that it's not,,, well their pants are down.

I don't think that's the case. The CE2's sell faster than the factory can produce them so it's not like there's a shortage, just an over abundance of demand. I didn't really feel like there's been a whole lot of hype over the Giantomizer, just typical advertising pitches, but nothing over the top. Right now I think it's just a matter of demand is higher than supply due to production limitations.

Well shucks. The coil burned out in one of my mods this morning during a dry burn, and now I gotta fix it. It's looks like I need to reduce the burn time, especially with the ones that have been in use for a while. It happened with my Masterpiece III, which has been in use for a few weeks. The coil is usually dry burned three times each day.

This one is an improved version derived from the prototype "Little Tank" that was displayed back in February: ---->http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...iew-tips-info-help-video-518.html#post2708438

The Masterpiece III
MasterpieceIII.jpg

This one has a larger intake tube than the Little Tank. Except for the coil and wick, everything you see inside is made from scratch. The threaded base fitting is from an E2, but it has been drilled out to accept a solid insulator made from Phenolic. The air tube is 1/4" shorter than the original and is made from lead free aluminum bronze, which includes the center battery post with the "screw driver" slot. (The original has an air tube that is pressed into the battery post). As a result, the inside guts are rigid in the center of the tube and stay that way.

The larger air tube means that there is not enough room for the wires that originally went through the bottom of the cup. Therefore, a new cup is made from clear acrylic, and the wires are in the slots with the wicks. You can't see it in the photo, but the coil is visible from the outside. This mod holds 3ml of juice when filled to the bottom of the cup.

The mouthpiece is long enough to give a reasonably cool vape. It does not have an air chamber large enough for condensation to form. I test a mouthpiece before the coil and wick is installed. When the cartridge is filled with water and turned upside down, it does not leak. An air bubble can be seen in the empty slots, forcing the water to stay inside the reservoir. If shaken like a salt shaker though, water will come out of the mouthpiece with each shake.

So, how does it work? It works better than the Little Tank. I tried to keep the vapor down with shorter draws, but have not succeeded. I now go through enough juice to be called a junkie.

BTW, the Little Tank is retired and replaced with the Masterpiece IV. It's a bit taller and has the later features. The only thing salvaged from the Little Tank is the mouthpiece. I have it filled with Salem Menthol right now, so won't be using it while replacing the coil and wick in the Masterpiece III. Instead, I'm puffing on the Masterpiece II, which ain't no slouch, heheh.

Looks good br...

Do you do anything "special" to dry burn - so as not to melt or disfigure your acrylic cup? Or does your material take the heat without a problem?
Thanks, Scott.

If I build it right, it doesn't burn the cup. However, I made one that accidentally had the end of a coil wire touching the slot. It burned a small spot in one side of the slot. Other than that, the cup holds up better than I expected. I've made five with this material, but two have not been used very much.

One of them is for my son, who will begin using it tonight. I ran two tanks through it and both dry burns were okay. This one is made to fit his Prodigy V3 battery. The bottom of the tank has to be smaller to keep from blocking the air.

I'd rather make the cups from something else. I made some from two different types of Phenolic, but neither was satisfactory. Maybe I have something around here that will be better.

Cool... maybe the 'secret' is your dry burning with each refill, limiting the crud to one-tankfull's-buildup...

Given any thought to fabricating a metal cup with an acrylic/phenolic insulator at the air-tube connection?

No matter... great craftsmanship!

Not only do I dry burn with each refill, but I leave the white ash on the coil.

At some point, the positive end has to be connected to the air tube. I actually made one with a metal cup. The problem is that the negative end of the coil MUST be insulated from the cup, or a short may destroy the electronics of the battery. You can't see it very well, but this one has a metal cup.

Well it looks like the stock is returning. However,,, the first one out of the pack, looked good on the dry burn, but tastes like crap. (they still got that chem taste).
Damn are they ever going to clean these things before they ship them.

Does anyone else build anything close? so I could still mod it to work in my "Gummy Tank".


I believe the factories are still catching up from the production delays of the Chinese New Year.

I got one Kanger clear w/ a bottom coil to try and it didn't taste off. I purposely didn't clean it to see. I haven't modded it yet but I'm sure there's a way.

    LOL... I think when the E43's come out they might have that issue fixed. Until then I soak anything and everything I get from MiT/RS in Vodka before using.

    Keep you eye on the gotvapes threads. They are going to have a new product called the "Vortex" soon. It's a E2 type design but the coil is on the bottom istead of the top.

    Might be the Best thing since drip bottles or it might be a POS. Just have to wait and see.

    How was filling it? I heard that the early tests with the first seal design showed that filling was a bit of a hassle.

    I suppose a good number of us are waiting to try them. Bad's video of an early one looked pretty good. I don't know how easy it will be to maintain the coil, though.
