Dave, I ordered on 10/18, and was going through the same agony of waiting as you. But I got mine yesterday, so take hope from that.

Also, just have to say that I LOVE the standard A2. I didn't buy one the first time I ordered, because I was set on using tanks, but now that I have it can say I love it just as much as the tank versions (have the T and TM from first purchase). I have been amazed at how great it works, even just in the "as sold" configuration, cart, fill, and all. I've NEVER had a cart that worked this well before (and that's having used penstyle, 901, and 510 carts for a long time, and having experimented with all sorts of filler materials, before I moved completely over to tanks). And, a fill of the cart DOES last a long time as others reviewing the A2 have said (but which I secretly didn't believe), about as long as the regular tank!

Hey there Yvilla.

Yeah I can't wait. I keep stalking the mailman, I have been making myself available right around the time he comes because I know you have to sign for it. I work for myself so I can do that, but its not easy. I know the day that I say it wont be here and I just don't stop by my house is the day it will show up and then I will have to go to the Post office to pick it up. Soooooo I will continue to stalk the mailman.

I was undecided about which version to get also, but at the time I was waiting for the website to come up again I did some more research and watched some reviews on You tube and most said that the flavor was a little lacking with the tanks. I have an EGO T which is what I moved to after trying Green Smoke and sending that back. (Didn't know any better an the time and didn't know this place existed) I really like the Tank for convenience but I want a good vape also. I don't know if it is true or not about the tanks having a muted flavor or not because I have nothing to compare it to. My EGO T works fine and to me it tastes fine. But what the hell do I know.

I ordered the standard A2 with the mega tank upgrade in SS. I was wondering who else ordered on the 18th and didn't get theirs yet.


Anyway thanks for giving me hope. I keep telling myself tomorrow will be the day.:p

You guys will be the first to know when it comes.:laugh:

I did have to sign for mine - both deliverys.

One interesting note: I don't know if you saw my earlier post, maybe on the A2 T thread, but it was about the tank version not giving off much vapor at all after my first rebuild, until I cut off the ends of the fiber wick quite close to the ends of the coil. I had originally left them much longer than was the case with the first pre-built coil.

Well, the standard A2 came pre-built with really long ends of the fiber wick sticking out from both ends of the coil, and it works wonderfully that way. So I have come to the conclusion that long fiber ends sticking out do work well when using the cart and fill, but probably won't when using the tank upgrade on the same coil. Your mileage may well vary, but I thought this was worth mentioning for those who don't have a separate A2 tank, and will be switching back and forth with the same A2 bottom piece.

I will be interested to hear any other's experiences with this.

I think you're right about the wick. This guy gives the best reviews, I think. Seems unbiased and does a really thorough review. Check out his wick its huge.

Hi Yvilla,

I ponered that question when I was comtemplating ordering my first Bulli because the Bulli site videos shows making the coil differently for cartridge and tank. The cartridge with excess wick from the coil tucked up into the cartridge housing, and the tank with no excess on the ends.

I solved the problem by placing a piece of wick around the filler in the catridge and letting it hand down about an inch from the cartridge. This way the wick between the filler and the coil is part of the the cartridge instead of part of the coil. Works great. Wicks just as good as the loops from the coil.

I cut off the wick on either end of the screws. I drip exclusively and was told by Cetin in an e-mail to do this. Too much wick for dripping can cause a leak. He referred me to his video also.

When I cut the rn4062 cart to use the threaded part for my drip tips, I noticed that the black part seemed to be made from two parts, the round threaded part and the whistle mouth piece. Has anyone separated the two parts without cutting?

My goal was to be able to use my drip tips for dripping but just realized I can snap the white cart back on and use it with the drip tip. This is great with a box mode as the whistle tip never seems to end up in the direction I want it.

Sounds like a good tip Ed, thanks.

Just want to say I have been vaping my A2 for several hours and I'm in love. Thanks to dspin and almightygod I also just placed an order from want2vape for some cigar vapes. Life is good.

Yes indeed, as the coil breaks in it tastes even better. I don't know what voltage you are using, but I find that the A-2 makes alot, but not all juices taste even better at 6V. Using 2.5 - 3.0 resistance. The better being around 2.8- 3.0. Thats solely for dripping though. 6V is nasty on the cartridges.


Glad you like it Dave, I find myself using the Bulli 95% of the time anymore. Can't wait for my other rebuildables to come.


Forgot to add, Acid Blondie is better at 3.7 rather than 6V IMO
