Thanks Bad, glad the singles will remain available.

As I recall from when these were announced, you mentioned the possibility of replacing the entire center tube assembly. (Or maybe you said that about the Stone?) But just a cup/coil/drop-in replacement thingy seems like a different approach. Your description above, sounds like disassembly would be required before you could snap it in. Getting the tube off seems to be the most difficult part of the process - insurmountable to some.

I applaud Big Screen's suggestions, too. Stardusts are just a touch cool on an eGo battery (totally irrelevant with a cool mint juice!) so lower ohm options would be great, IMO, as would a variety pack. Looking forward to future developments, because I really like these!

After rinsing with hot water, I gave the naked atty a cleaning in my vodka filled ultrasoninc, dry burned, then back in the cleaner once more. Clean as a whistle, and this 3 week old Stardust vapes like new.

Vodka filled ultrasonic, eh?.. That really sounds like a good idea. That does it, I'm going to get myself one of the ultrasonic cleaners. Been thinking of getting one anyway. :)

flux would likely survive that, vision would go to heaven:) definately not the right way. Blowing on them while dryburning will kill them quick too.

Very Good Video.

I especially liked, what I consider to be, the Proper way of Dry Burning. Short Pulses followed by a Brief periods of Cooling.

To many people just Mash down the Power Button and wait until there is no more smoke.

Doing One Long Dry Burn I think is about the Best way to Kill Any Atomizer wire.

With the possible Exception of doing One Long Dry Burn and Blowing on it while you do it.

Blowing on a Glowing Atomizer wire is akin to Blowing on BBQ Coals. The Temperature will Spike up Wildly with the Increase of More Oxygen per unit Time.

no, while the gunk off is good it is very residooyie lol, i have a new one being made by one of those companies that leaves no residue, washes off quickly

Cool.

I tried Gunk Off and also 420 Natural but like you said, they tended to leave res-i-dues.

BTW - Congrates on 6,000 Posts Bad.

Not Bad. Getting Busy again which is a Good thing. Got some more funds rolling in.

I'll have to do another order from gotvapes soon. Seems like there are All Kinds of New Goodies to try. Feel like I'm failing behind stuck in my Happy CE2 Rut. LOL.

I've been wondering if you'd tried the Stardust. I, too, have been stuck in a CE2 rut. No complaints, since I love 'em. I keep trying other stuff and keep going back to CE2s.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to your take on the Stardust.

Not yet but I will be soon.

At my job, I have gaps where I don't work in the Summer and around Christmas/New Years. I try to keep the spending down during these periods.

And everytime I think about doing an order, Bad drops another Bomb so I put of the order to see what happens next.


Actually, I do have one complaint. I wish the Flux would return to the translucent silicone seals. Really don't like the new black ones, and my supply of the older silicone ones is showing wear and tear from so much use.

I'm with you on this one.

I use CE2's 100% of the time. But I like to use the Clear Seals and the White Mouth Piece that came with the Rev"3.x" CE2's verses the Black ones.

Yeah. Open up a pack of new Fluxes with the black seals, and the aroma that comes off them has all the appeal of walking into a tire store. I keep my backup new ones in a small drawer and the smell hits me every time I open it. So, without intending to flame, they literally stink.

LOL...

I think the First Rule of e-Cigs is Never Throw ANYTHING Away.

I've got a whole drawer full of Little Tins with Seals and Mouth Pieces and O-Rings and Whatever.

You never know when you might need a Seal off a Pump Cart or a Giantomizer to Mod onto a Vision or a Stardust.
