Eric, What are the chances you might carry the same long wicks that are in the Vision eGo CE4+ Clearomizer? Would the factory sell you just the wicks? I love the long wick version and I would like to convert the short wicked ones I have.

Urge

I doubt they'd sell them to me in small amounts and I have only one call for them.. you so far.
But I do have this:

Wick - Nextel Braided Ceramic -12" - DiscountVapers.com

I could be wrong but it seems to me that putting a charger into a bag and charging a battery is generating a lot of heat that then has nowhere to go. I think this could exacerbate problems because high temps aren't good for electronics and could end up causing a failure of the charger and/or the battery. I would be interested in any thoughts others may have.

Urge

I have been looking for a device that has a regulated voltage at about 3.7-3.8 and can't seem to find one. This leads me to think that the only way to get a voltage regulated device is to buy a VV.

So ya'll tell me if all wet or right on this.

I am getting a little older so maybe I missed something.

Most devices that I know do not regulate the battery so you're always going to get whatever the max capacity is on a standard battery so in the sense, yes, if you want a specific voltage all the time you'll need to go with a VV.

That said, I do not know all the devices only what I've sold and just about everything I have tested uses this battery max method. Anything that does a steady voltage has to have some kind of regulator in in and the standard batteries (from what I know,) do not have this.

you'll get 4.0-4.2 at fresh charge and generally 3.7 thereafter.

If someone knows of any devices that differ please post, I don't assume to know everything :)

CE5+ is here


eGo CE5+ Rebuildable Clearomizer.DV Edition (longer wicks)


2.4 - 2.8oHms (from what I know, I am getting clarification now)

2.0ML Capacity Slightly Larger than the CE4 with the same performance
Threads directly on to your eGo!. Completely sealed at the mouthpiece and at the bottom, no need for a cone.
Comes completely apart and is rebuildable with inner cores premade.

Easily filled - you can use your dropper capped liquid bottle.
Mouthpiece inserts and then screws down for a complete seal with an added silicone o-ring on mouthpiece PLUS a new metal tube protrudes upwards so that its surrounded by the mouth peace.
Manufactured from thick durable tank style plastic.

Note: due to the design, these will need to be "broken in", meaning tilt them a bit to get the top ends wet and let it sit for a few minutes.
As it is used, performance will get better after a few minutes.

I also have the inner core:

eGo CE5+ Rebuildable Core

2.4 - 2.8oHms
Easy to remove and rebuild the CE5 once it wear out, you get flavor loss or you just want to experiment.
Please note, this is for a steady hand and a tinkerer, these are somewhat fragile and a heavy hand will break them.

1. Unscrew the CE5 Base
2. Pull out ther inner chamber.
3. The top piece of rubber may get stuck in the tube, if so shake it out.
4. Carefully pull the top assembly off of the core cylinder.
5. Gently remove the c shaped cup in the bottom of the connector.
Reverse the procedure to install the new core.
The C Shaped cup ring will neeed a small amount of force to get it seated in the botom ring and you may have to slightly clamp the C a bit tigher to get it in.

I have replaced an inner core with ease, although my first attempt broke the existing wire :unsure:
You need to have gentle hands and not rush like I did.

So far the perform just like the CE4, have a bigger capacity and of course, can be rebuilt.
I like them slightly better so far than the CE4. I am getting my best vape at 3.7-4.1v

also as a bonus, the same adjustments that are recommended for the CE4 can be made to this CE5 but best part is, since it is comes apart, it is easy for even a beginner to do.

Nope.... I looked like mad for a fixed device at like 4.5v... they just don't exist. Talked to a friend of mine, and he explained exactly what you said, Eric. A fixed voltage mod can be either 3.7 (slightly higher with fresh batts), or stacked with 6v (again, not the best idea for anyone other than a VERY educated modder, and even they are taking risks even w good batts and venting). Now you can get fixed 5v mods, but its my understanding that they somehow regulate the voltage downward from 6v somehow. Not quite sure how that works.

But wendallb.. there are tons of mods at 3.7, but like Eric said, they'll be slightly hotter right off the charger and then dip down a little lower as the charge runs down. I find it very difficult to detect a difference in the vape until its almost out of charge (and then its very anemic vape, and you know its time to switch the batts). If you haven't tried a fixed 3.7v mod, Eric has some awesome ones, at incredibly low prices. The only thing is... I have..um, 4 vv units now, and they behave exactly the same way as the fixed in the sense that the vape starts more powerfully, then runs lower as the batt runs down. I know they're supposed to 'regulate' the voltage to the exact same all the time, or at least 3 of mine are supposed to, but I'm here to tell you, it doesn't feel that way. They feel like they behave exactly the same as the fixed 3.7s when theyre running down. So I don't know if that function just isn't very effective, or what. If I was just an isolted one pv behaving that way, I'd be more likely to believe that, but a few of them are. And I've asked around. Other people with pvs that are supposed to deliver exactly the voltage you ask for and then keep doing it exactly the same way till there's no longer the ability to fire at that voltage... they report exactly my experience. YOu can definitely feel it a little more intense in the beginning, and then the vape waning as batt runs down. So if you haven't tried a fixed 3.7, that may work for you. Otherwise, I can tell you I've been THRILLED with my new lavatube. Even though it sorta wanes with the batteries, I can compensate for that by just increasing the voltage by .1 or .2.

And Eric! I didn't know the long haired Ce4's were rebuildable! Any chance of carrying replacement 'heads' for them by themselves? I was excited about the new Vivi's, but hearing nothing but negative about them, so this Ce4 with long wicks seems like my best shot at tinkering to adjust vape in a clearotank sort of device. VERY cool, sir! Aha! I see they're Ce5! That es'plains it! lol

Thanks Eric and orachel :blush:

If that is the case then I will just stick with my go-go devices.

A fresh battery is just too hot for me and what I prefer but I will get along with it..Anything over 4 is just too much for me but that is just me.

I was considering something with the 18650 but that really would be too hot for me..

So what is the difference between the E1 Revive v2 and the Ego CE5+? They seem to be very close to the same, am I missing something?

Urge

They are similar but not the same, I haven't tried the E1 yet so I can't review it to say one way or another, like everything else it will be a preference kind of thing. The E1 has replaceable tubes in colors and cores and is a tank like carto while the CE5 is more stylish? Plus it is an eGo C head, so some may already have some of the parts Just different variations on the same thing I guess.

I should have a handle on the E1 tomorrow night.

Yep.. see they are learning, from my previous post (and I do NOT take credit) I did mention that a CE4 with a removable inner core would sell and be better for the community at large and low and behold here it is :)

This is the way to do it, make something that's good... better

The batt size won't make much of a difference in the voltage, I wouldn 't think. Only thing is I'm thinking (but might be wrong) that an 18650 might make it be at the over 4 range longer, simply due to the longer batt life? Either way, have you ever considered keeping a carto in slightly higher ohms that you vape only when the device seems hot to you? That would make it way way less intense. Lets say you're using 2.0ohm cartos now. If you get a few that are 2.5, and only use them when batts are fresh, you'd basically be getting the same vape as when they're not, if that makes sense. lol

And Eric, as always, glad to spread the DV news far and wide. The Ce5's sound pretty darn amazing. I'll double check, but didn't think there was a link yet. I'll hunt one up and post it.

you are correct the battery size makes no difference except for length of time above the 3.7 threshold, in other words it will stay above 3.7 longer than a smaller battery would. Great tip on the oHms :)

Thanks for the tip, i use the go-carts mostly. I have the CE4+ DV version and I like that very much.. I did buy one of the CE4 LR's and that is too hot with a new batt for sure..

I was considering the XL3 and may still think about that..
