I ordered 1 and 1 extra head just for grins. Questions I'm asking myself are 1) are they top, bottom or dual coils 2) when changing the head aren't you still saddled with a less than optimum coil 3) when changing heads aren't the wicks going to be soppy wet from leftover juice?

They are single top coil and you just need to rinse off with warm water and dry with paper towell and you are ready to reuse and vape. Easy to dryburn if you choose. I'm not sure what you mean by optimum coil but the coil is part of the head and wick assembly.

I exchanged emails with someone named Orion@smoktek this morning about the absence of 808 stuff. I was advised that possibly there would be some product on the site by next week. IDK if that will really happen but it might. Industry movement seems to be strongly toward 510. I feel I have invested in the beta max of the ecig world

I feel like IM shouting into a tunnel since nobody seems to be here but me. Where are you guys? Anyhow I decided the new clearo had soaked long enough. So far so good. Its a bit heavier than I'm accustomed to. The coil puts out a lot more vapor. I put a brand new clearo from nHaler on a freshly charged Echo 1300 to compare the new one both with the same 80/20 nicjuice. New one wins!! I have way too many nonrepairable clearos to jump into these seriously but I do like them so far.

Greetings, Echo peeples. Still here, still vaping Echos exclusively. Glad to see all my old familiar names.

I'm now at the eight-month mark and my batteries and/or chargers are showing signs of fatigue. I probably need to clean them better. Been using rubbing alcohol and ear swipe things (my vocab has deserted me tonight; sorry) but there is a bunch of green gunk down around the post of the batteries and I cannot get the stuff out, even with a paper clip (the clips are a smidge too thick) ...

Any ideas?

As for the chargers, I've never liked the 150 ma chargers that these require. They are taking longer, it seems, to charge these days.

I have two of them, plus one 300 ma that was supposedly twice as good; now it does not want to charge any battery. Don't know if it's just dead - lights still come on, but when I put on a battery that I know is run down, the battery doesn't charge.

I'm sitting here desperately sucking on an emergency Bloog with minimal charge that I found at the bottom of my purse -- because the Echo charger I brought to work as my backup was the 300 ma charger, and it isn't charging. Feh.

Should I expect the batteries to be getting old at this point? Should I replace them? Or should I replace the chargers?

Thanks, as always.

Hi kren...........try raising the battery post up just a little bit.......that may fix the charging problem. For cleaning the juice well on the batteries, a toothpick dipped in alcohol and pushed around the perimeter of the post should get rid of a lot of the "green stuff". Also take a pin or a needle and ream out the two holes in the side of the threads on the battery. HTH

great find on that new Iturbo Lulu. I just ordered some 510 Kanger T2s and E1s to try, because Charlz was so pumped on the T2 mainly. I hope they are great, and appear in 808. My Echos are getting lonely. Tried to use them the other day, but my crappy original Iturbos started leaking and I got frustrated and went back to the Provari + DID lol
