Well I do have an Ego and the stuff for them work on my mods.

And thanks again mms!

And sorry I keep thinking of stuff to ask!!!8-o

How long (approximately) do the heads last?

I've been using them for a couple of weeks but not exclusively. I seldom ever pop a coil and I would think they would last a few weeks or a month. They are only a dollar so I'm not going to worry too much whether it is a couple of weeks or a couple of months.:)

Hi TX! Have you tried the T2s from vapingme.com before or will this be your first go with them?

After using the cheaper Ego CC clearos I got from wordup for a few days now, I'm not sure that I would order them again. I've been getting some really nasty dry hits and I can't really figure out why. It's not because I don't tip and roll it. Yeesh, I even do that when using a Boge carto now. It's become a habit! LOL

This is the first time I've ordered from them but they are the version 2 with a little longer wicks and newer cap. Have you washed it out? Sometimes wicks get carmalized and don't wick as good but it just could be those short wicks on the ones from wordup. I think they were getting the new ones but I haven't checked if they have or not. They have good prices as well and have free shipping on any amount. So if someone just wanted to try one or two wordup would be a good choice if they have the newer version now. I will check and see if they have the new ones in.

I checked with the guys at wordup and they have the ones with the new drip caps but don't have the heads with the longer wicks in yet. It will be about a week and they will only have LR at first, They will sell them in five packs for 6.99.
They do have them in colors now too. The colored ones have the new caps but the clear ones still have old caps and they will send an extra new cap with each one. eGo 2.4ml CC Coil Changeable clear cartomizer clearomizer

I ordered a Kanger T2 and a vision rebuildable at the same time, have been using the two exclusively for a week now and both are going strong, the T2 I am using dark juice in and have to wash the wick about once a day the vision I am using only clear juice in and have not washed the wicks yet. my guess will be the T2 will bum out before the vision only because of the dry burning after washing. All my juice is 50/50 so it is thick. I have noticed when I am out on the motorcycle and have them in my saddle bag when things heat up they will flood, fixed that by keeping them in the top of the cooler I keep in my saddle bag.

I knew I shouldn't have bragged about never popping coils. 30 minutes later I pop one or at least it quit working and is open. lol First one I've had a problem with. It was one of the new ones with long wicks I got from DV and I had just started using it. It was simple to replace and I didn't even have to empty out my juice. I just screwed in a new one I got from wordup and was back vaping on it in about a minute. I'm glad I picked up a five pack for 6.50 when I ordered one to try.

Gloria you might try removing the top silicone cup and try it without it. That is what I did with the one I just put in. The newer version doesn't use the silicone cup otherwise they are exactly the same except for the longer wicks. The cup is designed to hold the liquid at the top to eliminate having to tilt it but it might be causing you to get the dry hits.

Thanks for your help with this Tx. I'm not sure which part you're referring to removing. Do you mean the top condom like piece that fits over the tube (on the right in photo below) or the funny shaped silicone piece that is under the wicks? :)

The cone shaped silicone that is on the left looking at the picture. The newer versions are identical except they have longer wicks and don't have the silicone cup. The cup is supposed to hold the juice around the wick but I think it hinders it sometimes. You just might need to tilt it more often but you said you did that anyways.

Thank you kind sir! The silicone cone has been removed. I'll let you know if that takes care of the random dry hits.

Yeah...I became a master tilter/twirler when using the Stone. LOL

Pulled the trigger and ordered some of the T2s from vapingme. Wish I had noticed his Blueberry Sin juice before submitting the order. I would have given it a try.

Does anybody have a blueberry juice you'd recommend? Or even a DIY recipe for blueberry? I only have Capellas blueberry so far.

I found out I didn't pop the coil. What was happening was the coil head unscrewed a little when I took off the cap. The cap fits down over the coil head fairly snug to prevent leaking and might turn a little when you take off the cap so something to be aware of if it just stops working. I'm glad I didn't throw it away. lol I've been messing around with it alot and it happened again is how I discovered it. I thought man two new coils popped on an hour is not good. l was a little worried until I saw what was happening. Now I'm happy again!:D

Just talking about the coil head. They only cost 1.00. They are replaceable just like the vivi Nova heads. Some people do rebuild those but I would never try it especially when I can buy one for 1.00. lol

I was looking at the ones on DV last night. I'm wondering if the heads he has won't fit because they're for the stardust type and the seal has that little metal cone tip that sticks up, as opposed to the flat metal piece that comes in vivi heads. :confused:
If that's it, it's simple enough to switch out that little piece. I've been switching mine to use vivi heads in my stardusts. :)

Ok, I know I'm missing something here, but what? I haven't seen a kanger t2, but it would seem if it's not interchangeable that it would be because the threads where it screws on is different. Not understanding why the pointy cone thing would matter since vivis are flat and ce4's are pointy but the drip "tips" are hollow. (knows i'm gonna feel like an idgit when she splains to me what she means) lol

It's not because I don't tip and roll it. Yeesh, I even do that when using a Boge carto now. It's become a habit! LOL

hehehe So glad I'm not the only one. I find myself doing it with my ce3's! We are such creatures of habit. I was talking to my neighbor last week, he hasn't smoked in 40 yrs, but still finds himself once in a great while reaching into his pocket for a cig after he eats.

Does anybody have a blueberry juice you'd recommend? Or even a DIY recipe for blueberry? I only have Capellas blueberry so far.

The only one I've tried so far is blue honey from vapedudes, but wow......love this stuff. After a couple tanks it gets to be a bit much and that's when I mix it with sumpthin creamy. What I have now is bavarian cream. I've even mixed it with pina colada and that was tasty. The pina I got in 24 mg and that is too peppery for me, so I have been mixing it with the blue honey to tone down the nic a bit. I definitely want to try some more blueberry ones. This is a new place, but everyone says their blueberry dream is great! The link is to the thread, but you can click on the flavor to go to the site. On sale right now too 3.50 for 10 mls. I just ordered a few juices, but want to try a couple of these if I can while they're still on sale. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rum/319801-vapesales-com-official-thread.html
