OK folks! I am doing my bulk purchasing this week and getting ready for a camping trip. I bulk ordered my battery's for my all mods. I still have plenty of juice.

Where is everyone getting there cartos from? And what price are you paying? I want to order a lot more boge LR and standard cartos that came with this liquinator! I want the best price! Coupon codes if apply would also be appreciated!

I also plan on trying some of those iken/cartos that were posted earlier!

If you don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks for delivery, then greenhouseone.com is the cheapest I've found. I can get 10 boxes of 5 (50 carto's) for $57.60 china air mail or $66.90 EMS. I keep stocked so I go with china air mail.

I like the 810 fusions with these tanks so I don't have to worry about the tank sliding..plus, I use a VV Buzz so the fusions can be cranked up for a warmer vape. I just cleaned about 10 of mine and only 1 died but it was 6 weeks old so I kinda figured on it happening.

Thanks guys! Hairball... I want to try these fusions!!!! They have an adapter for 510 to 801's that I will need to get. Are you using the regular ones or the LR ones... Presently I am using a Supermini GLV 3.7 volt. I have an "Original Copper (Hex)" 3.7 volt. something I can beat up at work.. And a Provari also on it's way to the house... I really want to try this fusion I am hearing about! They seem pricey but I got to try one! I really like these LR boges on my 3.7 GLV mod!

@Hairball: How are you cleaning you carts... Are you boiling them?

 

[throbinskin]

Since these do not leak................. ! How sweet would it be to have one of these attached to a epipe mod? Anyone think of that?

 

[hairball]

I'm using the regular resistance fusions. I think Isaac has the LR's enroute...at least I read that somewhere. I put my name on the mailing list for them.

I clean by boiling once. Sling as much juice/water left in them out as possible. Then I put them in my ultra sonic jewelry cleaner with hot water (not boiling water) and cycle. Drain off, sling, and repeat with jewelry cleaner. They come out sparkling clean. After that, I put in my food dehydrator on high for 12 hours. The rest is vaping history.......

Two quick things:

1. Cleaning cartos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ljqvNiASOc

The best and easiest way (doesnt require anything special) is to drop your cartos into a pan of hot water from the tap, put it on the stove and put the stove on high and set a timer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, look for a white scum across the top of the water and take a wiff of the steam off the top of the pan. If you see scum or smell anything funky, drain the water and refill the pan with hot water and repeat. You will likely have to do this 3-5 times but eventually, the water will be clean and will have no odor. At this point, blow in the threaded end of the connector to remove as much water as possible and then turn the carto upside down (threaded end up) and let it sit for 12 hours.

The cartos will likely be 'slightly' wet inside at this point but plenty usable, keep the ones you arent using upside down and they will completely dry usually in two days or so. But, you can use one of the cartos after only 12 hours of drying upside down, just realize the first fill may be a bit less flavorful because of the small amount of water left inside.

The only thing I do differently from the video is, I dont bother rinsing between each boil and I dont really bother with doing the paper towel stuff afterwards, Im not hugely picky about them being extremely dry since usually after one fill, they vape like normal and during the time I am using the first carto, the rest will usually dry plenty well enough for me.

2. Regarding filling the liquinator, watch this video:

YouTube - ‪Liquinator Walkthrough.MTS‬‏

It shows how to fill, how to take them apart and how to cut your own cartos. The ONLY reason to take the end caps off is to clean it. You should be filling it with the end caps already attached, all you need to is slide the carto out of one hole and aim to get the liquid to the side of the tank. Avoid getting liquid into the center hole of the threading, this will cause the juice to flow downwards towards the mouthpiece.

Filling instructions are at the 1 minute 25 second mark in the video and ends at the 2 minute mark. With instructions it only took him 35 seconds to fill it. Its simple.

I rinse and then shake my dirty cartos out. Put in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain, sling, and put in clean boiling water again. Once done, sling again then place in my ultra sonic jewelry cleaner to break any loose gunk from the coils. I run 3 x 3 minute cycles. When that's done, sling out as much water as possible, then place in food dehydrator. Done in about 12 hours and ready for refilling. If you have mega's or ones that are bigger than standard, drying will take longer in a food dehydrator. I have one that has the top fan with heat settings and run on high for the duration.

I couldn't wait anymore for the big tanks to be released so I made my own. I vaped one of my 3ml's dry and disassembled it. I had some polycarbonate tubing but wasn't sure if the caps would fit or not. Low and behold, they did. I cut a piece to fit an Ikenvape LR 510 mega, notched 2 bottom slits in a new carto, filled with Max/Bro from FSUSA, and I'm in vaping heaven for a full day (or until the carto dries out in the event I did it wrong). I wasn't sure where to place the slits so I did it at the bottom like the little tanks. So far so good...it's feeding it. However, I still want some to fit the duals so I'll be buying more when they get posted. Sorry for this post, but I got bored with no one to talk to except my cats...they're looking at me like I'm nuts (they know more than I give them credit for).

<-- got mine and love it!!!!


MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD LUBRICATED SEAL as told

 

[Wylie]

So... I saw a prototype with stainless steel caps today. O... M... G...

 

[hairball]

WTH Wylie! You couldn't have taken a pic of it for us!

 

[jed]

thinkin the same thing hairball...isn't there a way to take away your like vote?

 

[hairball]

LOL...I could jed but I would demand a "slap" vote.

 

[Wylie]

I should have gotten a pic! Sorry, guys. I guess I'll have to force myself to go back.

 

[throbinskin]

Yes, you need to go back tomorrow when they open and take a picture. I was thinking I need one more of these! One for each of my mods! The stainless Steel would look sweet on my chrome polished Provari that should be arriving any day now!

 

[littlewierdo]

First off, this mod is wonderful with the Provari.

My current setup:
1. Provari
2. Liquinator tank
3. Pre-cut LR 510 boges from the vapor essence folks
4. 100% VG Peanut Butter flavored e-liquid

Im in pure heaven. There is nothing else I need. The tank has been working wonderfully on the SAME carto for the last week. Ive never been able to get cartos to last more than a day or two, this carto is working just as well on day 7 as it did on day 1.

So, I think when you get your Provari & tank, you are going to be in pure bliss.

Now I just need to get my hands on the 5 ml tube...would love to only have to fill before I leave for work...

Oh, and speaking of which, I have one other question I am a bit confused on...

On the website, it states in the description of the tank, "This 3mL tank has an easy fill system and an adjustable flow control.".

How do you adjust the flow? The only thing I can do is push the tank down, is there something I am missing??

They're closed on Sunday. This is Texas, man! Also, the SS version is probably two weeks away. The one I saw was on the Precise P18 and man, is it ever gorgeous!

Nah, you're not missing anything. The adjustable flow is pretty much on or off. On the ProVari, you can also (to a degree) adjust the air flow if you tighten it down and press the tank firmly down you can make a tighter draw. You can lift it just a tad for more.

Glad you're enjoying it!

Wylie......know James is "somewhat acquainted" with GG mods and wouldn't doubt his inspiration for the liquinator came by one means or another from one of imeo's designs. Not totally familiar with the in's and out's of the AFS's or UFS's but don't they operate on the same principle i.e. gravity fed systems that have an adjustable means of allowing and restricting the flow of e-liquid to the atomizer?

thinkin we basically have here the poor man's GG AFS
