On an unrelated note-BK and others-

Yes it is frustrating that we are getting inconsistent product. Obviously I have no stake in the e2 BUT I still feel that it is better than every other COMMERCIALLY avail product. Lets try to keep the faith until we can get a product manufactured stateside. Who knows maybe MiT will finally here the pop (when their head comes out their ... for the first time) and start doing some QC.

If I had the equipment I would. I can twist up a PTB wick small enough to fit inside the coils, but getting it in there would be a nightmare.

Edit: I bet it would work like nobody's business.

If you are "bottle modding" , pull the wick completely out. Take a fine gauge sewing needle with a doubled thread, (so it has a loop in it), feed it thru the coil and leave the "loop" out one side. Put the PTB thru the loop and gently pull the thread thru the coil.Don't know but that's how we used to rebuild atty's.

BR, i cant find my solder so I cant make a wire connection to the new tiny stem for the cup. i just flippe my freaking house upside down fo rthe missing solder roll. so for now it will be pids and tomorow i can make it fire

Well, I'm hung up too. I can't get the filler ring to stay on the cup while trying to get the assembly in the tube. If I ever get it in there, I don't know if I can make it stay there. I know what I just said don't make sense, but this thing has to go together in a backwards sort of a way. I think I'll give my project a rest for the night too.

good thread, rbonie, do you all enlarge the coil while you have access to it without a wick inside of it?

We were winding our own coils so they weren't "factory" if you know what I mean . The concept "should" work. To late to try tonight tho

wrapped coils around a 1 or 2 mm rod. Like a sewing mach needle


hmmmm still have some 24 and 26 g nichrome ... wrap a bigger heavier coil ...hmmmmm

measure the ohms using a different number of loops first, before you solder it rbonie

did you see nicotime's taco coil idea?

good point Br, but I'm not trying just ptb
I guess if it gunks up just slide part of it out and rinse it, keep sliding it out until the next wick is installed?
good point tho, keep it wet; no dry burning

Is the coil to tight to insert the wick by starting the wick perpendicular to the coil (in the middle) then just wrap around the coil. Basically moving the wick around and around the coil while not moving the coil at all?

i cant get mine to work cause i cant solder and dont have exactly whats needed but heres something like what it should look like i guess. this design is 100% buildable but im not gonna get it working properly but the bottom cup portion can fire, so thats easy to build, its the top portion ill have issues with., ill pull the wire through the bottom br and solder it there then push it back in to the e2 chamber.

If you have wire you can also use 2 rods instead of 1 to make your coil, and it can be figure 8's spread out, and then you can use 1 real wick per coil.

You end up with a double coil, side by side, lol
no need to crimp and squeeze 2 or 3 strands inside 1 coil like the e2 does

(squeezing or crimping 2 or more wick strands together might even help the formation of gunk?)

Short answer: IMO you don't need to run these at 5v for any reason. The one REALLY good thing about these new cartos is that they simulate HV vaping without the need for actual higher voltage. 3.7v is plenty for these, and even too high (imo) for anything under 2.8-3Ω.

Banjo, using 510 2.5 v from cov on a 5 v nicostick type mod. Still the best at 5 v. just my 2 cents

I don't know if you guys know it or not, but PTB burns like crazy when it is dry. If it is inside the coil, you may not be able to do a dry burn.
ooo yeah member burning some on a coil that was too hot!! So Far this PTB thread laid on the cup/ coil has done great. after vaping it dry once ptb looked ok and there were no dry vapes. Will keep testing

Mine has to go together like this. Everything all at once.

I'll play with it some more, but not tonight.

I wanna kiss you sometimes. If you see the trail of cheetos leading from your house to a van with the doors open, DONT follow the trap, you did good tonight so im being nice and warning you in advance, ill let you rest and work on this one some more before you get kidnapped.

you solve many of the issues but you could have left some tubing at the base to hold that center plug but then you cant get the main tube on. yeah im confused.

maybe instead of a center plug there at the bottom you can add one more inner plug, that also might make it easuer to reinsert.

Br I see what you're doing now, since there is no liquid near the battery connector, can't you just drill an air inlet hole on the bottom side of the carto like a 901? There is no law that says that the air has to come from the battery itself, and with many manual batteries having the silly auto-battery hole, it would be even healthier if it didn't come from the battery
