I responded to your visitor message! lol. I'm still here, just been lurking about, I've been battling the flu for a week.
Oh, sorry, I didn't see! Hope you get well soon!

Arizona vapor trails is awesome, just got my 2 for 1 deal in the mail today and I was very surprised with everything it came with. The kit is pretty nice and the carto tank looks solid, They also put in some free e-liquid with my order. Now I just have to wait for my battery's to charge so I can test them out.
Mine charged in an hour right outta the box... Didn't get free juice...2 carto tanks though. Ya I was pretty impressed too, very nice kit especially for $32! Probably shoulda just grabbed the last 2...
I like that tip! Where did u get it?

Tried HealthCabin - nuttin'
Ok, take a look at this: CE6 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer - Transparent White (6ml) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Specifically, take a look at that carto showing in the tank. Ok, so we know someone makes those durned cartos. (Duh...) Now we just have to find a source. That's where. dx.com falls short. They call this tank setup a "CE6", model number: ZQW20121016 (can't tie that to anything) and don't list a manufacturer.
So you could get the biggie size tank you prefer with one carto... I'm still looking for a source for those cartos though.
Ok, found this: dct 3ml or 6ml_ATOMIZER_SIGELEI Electronic Cigarette -
So that tank setup included was definitely made by Sigelei. Problem is: Have you ever seen any vendor selling Sigelei cartos?
On a lighter note, their site shows the new V8 is available in pink...

I got one of those ECD meters in the co-op for them on ECF. (Stonemull? in Australia makes them.) It the kind of meter that can read "normal" batteries and PWM (Joyetech etc.) types as well. I'm still figuring out all the bells and whistles on this meter - it can show volts, resistance, current (amps) and a few other things - but this is a couppla interesting things I found out plonking it on an early model type V8:
Why does it hit so hard? This might explain it: I have the V8 set to 3.2 volts. At least that's what the V8 display says. The ECD meter says it starts as 3.12 to 3.2 volts, but in under two seconds - I'd say a second and a half or less - it jumps a half volt higher, up to 3.7 volts. It does this right across the board: V8 set to 3.4 volts, starts at 3.4 volts and jumps to 3.9 volts. 4 volts starts at 4 volts, jumps to 4.5 volts etc.
Some people have wondered about the "Lo" battery indication. Didn't seem to make much sense when it came on. And there was speculation that you could just keep on vaping even when it was giving you a "Lo" message on the display. Well, you can. But when the V8 display shows "Lo" it isn't putting out any voltage. I watched the meter as my V8 cycled between the "Lo" message and displaying voltage. (My batteries were definitely due for a charge at that point...) Whenever I get "Lo" on the display the meter shuts off because it's receiving no voltage. The meter followed the V8 display during a button press and every time the V8 read "Lo" the ECD meter display nuttin', having no voltage at all and shutting off. So when it's flashing "Lo" you will still get some vape out of it, but every time it displays "Lo" it isn't firing whatever you have on the 510 connector.

I get the F2 with a short on my rebuildables. And my shiny one has the + and - reversed also.
Ok thx. Weird, I'm getting f2 w/ a 1.8ohm 306 that works on all my egos, etc, my 1.8ohm 510's are fine...not a big deal, was just curious
Somewhere earlier in the thread I mentioned the same and fourthrok had a link to a warning that the V8 isn't recommended for anything below 2.0 ohms. I found the shiny one wouldn't fire anything below 1.8 so it went straight to backup. The newer one does better but still has trouble with anything below 1.5 ohms. I am sure this is what you are experiencing.
Good to know, thx! Ya my rubberized one works fine w/ one it measures at 1.7 but I'm just gonna go up to a 3ohm one now to be safe.
As far as the button function goes - that's the way they are. On the first generation, non ohm checker model, voltage up is on the left and voltage down is on the right. Since that flies in the face of every other APV design out there they changed it on the second generation, ohm checker model to the more standard voltage down is on the left etc.
V8's don't play nicely below 2.0 ohms. You might get away with 1.8 ohms but... If in doubt check the resistance of that 1.8 ohm device on a meter - it might actually be measuring lower than that. If anything, what's going on shows that the V8 has built in protection against shorting, even if you would prefer it to have a lower limit.

Appreciate the effort! Awesome! The tank does look like it doesn't it!?
