Hey Cyrus, what do you use with the Echo if not echomizers or a CE4?
CE2 with an echomizer shell turned into a cone alla Charlz
Cyrus, I still have some left from Bill and D&BGold. Ha, man did I buy a lot of 'em. I am starting to get a little on the low side. I have been taking them appart cleaning, dry burning, ect. and running them for all they are worth. I have one that has gone almost 2 months with use every other day. About the third dry burn they like to pop a coil, and it takes a while to learn to re wrap them well. I always push the filler down a bit to keep the coil wet.
man you still have those, good for you! everything breaks in my vape room lol
Thank's Cyrus for stepping in. Nice to see you here. Lots or good stuff from Los Marauder too! Had a busy few days there. There's a couple of solutions on modding an adapter to work with the new sealed connections on the 808s. For me, I had an ample amount of adapters. I simply took the center post out of one adapter that had open posts on both sides and put it in the 909 to 808 adapter. Make sure you have the shorty variety that is simply the threads and center post separated by a rubber gasket. There are still some old variety adapters that are longer and much harder to mod.
If you have a dremel tool you can also remove the center post and grind a slot in it like Cyrus did. Eventually we have all abandoned the concept of putting the awesome 901 hardware on the echo. (I still have a couple of the old style echos with unprotected center posts that can take a 901 atty that still work and I baby those)
I also still use my echomizers but strictly single coil. And I recoil them to be about 2.5 ohms instead of the standard 3.0. Makes a huge difference and if you learn to take them apart, you can clean and reuse them for months. It's usually the wick that goes first before the coil actually burns out. Cotton thread is awesome in an echomizer but only lasts a day or so before things start tasting funny to me. But it actually takes less than a minute to tweeze the old cotton out and string new cotton through the coil.
I used to make a killer mod using ce2 guts inside a ce4 shell but can no longer find good ce2s for 808s. The sites I used to buy them from started putting out "new and improved" 808 ce2s that sucked and then sort of buried the 808 line saying there was a lack of interest.
Been a long time buddy
My uncle just ordered from myvaporstore recently (he's very unimpressed with all my RBAs, claims the CE2 is the holy grail LMAO. he's still very much a "smoker" in that he's found what he likes and hates anything else. I envy him honestly) and he says they're the same as GotHypez. I know GV said they were having issues with the company and were having CE2s made by someone else now, no idea what happened but they do have something from somewhere in stock now. That said I'm kind of lukewarm on my old go to CE2s these days, not sure if the quality of the last batch dropped or if my tastes have just been spoiled by using other gear for too long.
Even tried the X2 auto and the SI CE3s. LOL. What a POS CE3s are, my persistence in trying to get them to make me happy cracks me up sometimes.
For whatever reason the form factor has been big for me lately. Using clunky mods/RBAs at home is fine, but when I'm on the move I want something thats relatively low profile and
doesn't look cobbled together. I'm even considering trying the eRoll out (co op forming now), or an ego C set up. Love the look of the Echo with an echomizer, maybe I'll pick a few single coils up and rebuild them at 2.5.
Charlz are you avoiding the dual coils for fear of cooking your battery, or because they are no good these days?
Anyway, good to chat with you gents and ladies, be back soon
