The Echo Thread

[Charlz]

Charlz are the small wicks giving you trouble when the juice level gets below them?

No. It tapers at the top and has little room between the post and shell. So when you tip it to vape it, it get's enough on the wicks. I'm also vaping in my Kuwako which automatically means the iturbo is parallel to the ground when I vape it. I find I tend to try to tip it up more as it gets down under .5ml. That's when I refill it anyway. I'm vaping it down now and it does get a little drier towards the end. I like the short wicks now. I think the long wicks trap a lot of juice. Can't fight gravity.

So..if any of you remember my posts about my odd carto problems related to a wire comming out of the bottom of the carto, well it happened again. This time much worse as it killed the carto and the carto was only a day old. I was vaping away on my carto and it just stopped working completely. So i took it off and looked at the threads on it. There was a wire protruding from the rubber seal on the carto, but it was much longer this time. I took a paper clip and tried to tuck it under the gasket as this fixed it the last time, but this had no effect this time.

No one else has had this issue yet?

Good news is the dead carto has arrived just in time for my dissection and rebuilding experiments!

On the iTurbo clearo instead of taking it apart and cleaning it would it be okay to empty it then fill it with vodka or whatever a few times and call it cleaned or is there a need to disassemble it every time?

That is how I would do it until you think it might need a dryburn. I personaly don't like to take any of them apart because I don't ever seem to get them back together correctly and seem to have issues most of the time.

Just tried my new iturbo clearo on my Echo 1300, and I just couldn't be happier. This is the first time I used a syringe to fill, so I did feel like a little like a "Mad Scientist" noob. Lots of vapor and nice th. I can't believe the taste is so clear and crisp. It makes me want to try all my little bottles of ejuice all over again. Just love it.

I use the syringe to fill my echo cartos but the bottle works very good for filling the iTurbo.

Thanks for the affirmation, Tx. I don't have a long success record of taking cartos of any kind apart either.

Got my Iturbo,
wouldn't say the heat is as good as a dual coil, but the amount of vapor produced is very good and the taste is good as well. All in all I think these will be ordered again (only ran through one full carto so far time will tell).

I syringe fill everything and have had no problem with gurgling or leaking with this one. Nice little option for the echo.

 

[Charlz]

The one that was leaky yesterday is perfect again today. I think once it starts it just keeps dragging more juice with it but if you let it dry and fill it right, it's fine again. Too bad too. With 5 more coming, I was almost looking for an excuse to take it apart and rebuild it.

Ya got me all figured out. lol All I need is an excuse to justify it to myself! lol

Of all your PVs how many have actually failed on you, are better said, how many are still working that you just don't use anymore?

Sorry you would lose that race, mine is on the way. lol

You both lose, mine will be delivered in about an hour.

You ordered the stealth Echo kit from Vapor Girl? See my race was for when she offered them as just solo batteries. So......be sure to report on the cutoff. And the battery posts too. "Sealed", unsealed, slotted....etc.

I'll give you the win, though. lol

 

[CloveHunter]

I'll race you with that

I didn't read the fine print! Besides that I cheated and bought from Cropduster who is located just over the mountain from me. Ordered a solo 1300 Auto Saturday and it arrived today, Monday.

There are no holes visible in the post area, there are no slots and the bat has no juice so I can't give you a cutoff. It has a Blue activity light on the end, I forget what category that's supposed to put it in. Do they normally arrive totally depleted?

Then......you LOSE! No, there has been no race yet. I already have these "sealed" batteries. In fact, I was the first here to get a "sealed" echo. It was in my first kit from NW Vapors. They have a 5-6 second cutoff that you can test simply by sucking on the battery. Vaporgirl has echos that have a silver cap instead of an led and she tested them to a 10 second cutoff. Those are the ones I was referring to. She is the only one who has these stealths and they are not the same stealth that was on the market before.

Only her black batteries are stealth....not her stainless. Something she should clarify on her site.

 

[Charlz]

They usually come partially charged so you can test it. Sorry, I missed that question.

Wow got that fast. How about two mountain ranges and two deserts. I used to live in Elko and made that drive many times. They didn't have a speed limit back then in NV and you could drive 100 mph without getting a ticket. We had to drive 250 mi to Reno or 200 to SLC to go to a good Dr. or shopping.

Yeah, I climbed those mountains dozens of times with an old 318 Detroit powered 18 wheeler, don't know how that memory could have escaped me.

Perhaps a micro co-op is in order for those that want the new stealth from vaporgirl. Order a kit and split the batteries...and I guess the charger and cartos. Just an idea. That way two people could win the race!

 

[Charlz]

I still gotta tap out for now. It's a good idea though. I'm hardware rich and juice poor now. And I still think my next echo needs to be stainless.
