The Echo Thread

[Charlz]

Well, have fun with it anyway. It's one of those things that you just have to do to get the full idea. It's a nice mod, easy to do and a good option for those that are giving up on getting the turbos to work. I still have 3 of the five that I can use with an auto. The other 2 are going to be gutted for ce2s. Did the fluxos you used come up to the very tip of the band and fit snug? I need more and would like some around 2.0 to 2.5ish out of the box.

Totally off topic but I'm sure someone knows the answer................how do you fill the .5ml 808d "tanks"? Just got some in from Mt. Vapor and the only way I see is to use a syringe and fill through the air hole. Anybody??

 

[Charlz]

Twist off the top. Very easy to fill. You will see the top of the air tube when you pull off the top. Don't go above that. Pop the top back on gently. If you push too quick, it will build too much pressure. It takes a good 10 mins or so for the juice to soak the little bit of filler down below.

I actually stuck the IKV vision 2.0 ohm in there, which is a shorter stem than my XL fluxos. So it comes close to the top only because I pushed it up that far to accommodate the adaptor, which lets it sit perfectly on the echo.

I filled up to below the cup. Vaped through it all, didn't get any leaks (I didn't tempt fate and go above horizontal) out of the mouth or the base, and the only dry hit I got was the very last hit I took lol

fluxos seem to only come in 2.4-2.6 and 2.6-2.8 ohms. I've been working on trying to figure out how to tuck the wires solder free, to make recoiling at 2.0 ohms more easy. Iken Vape has it down, because his vision is all tucks, no solder. But I can't seem to do it. The posiitve (base) contact is fine, its the damn negative. It works, then I fill, and the fluid seems to create a space between the wire and the post and then its game over.

I learned that I'm terrible at soldering as well. All I do is make a damn mess. I'd like to do the hypodermic needle mod I linked you to via PM a while back to make all my ce2s easily re-coilable, but I need to get the needles.

The long wire can be tucked between the base and the make shift grommet we made. I stripped it a little to make sure there was going to be contact. That much I know because I knocked it loose. The short one, I don't know. Maybe it can be tucked underneath the black sleeve under the cup? I picked up some locktight brand silicone sealant. It said it was safe for aquariums and high temp so it's safe and useable for us. Perhaps the one to the center post can be tucked under and sealed. It dries to a rubbery clear seal when it's cured so it's easily removed in one chunk if it needs to be. I also takes a day and a half to cure and is unsafe to use until it is so patience is important.

edited. We should be able to delete a post within a certain time frame, I think.

I mean I edited it so quick it doesn't even show up as edited. lol

Are you guys saying that you don't like the iTurbos?

 

[Errol]

It's not my idea but one I got from a video with a guy making his own tanks out of syringe tubes.

I watched that same video and became so enthused about having a different tank for every flavor I ordered a full box of fifty 20ml syringes. About as quick as I had become enthused I became disenchanted with tanks so here I sit with a nearly full box of syringes.

I like them a lot but I don't use them with my echos. I only use echo cartos with my echo batteries.

 

[Charlz]

I like the turbos too. But it's a gamble. I have some that don't even drip. I've got some that even with my best mod ideas, still dribble. It's like everything else. I have cool stuff for around the house but the echomizers are the most reliable for on the go.
Even if I decide a turbo is safe for the road, I have a filled echomizer with me.

Errol, I know what you mean. It's one of the reasons I can mod just about anything now. I have so much pieces parts from things I got excited about that never happened that half the time I can close my eyes and reach around my table and come up with something suitable to fix the situation.

Maybe it can be tucked underneath the black sleeve under the cup?

tried this and it didn't work so well

it worked best if I pressed it real hard and semi wrapped it around the original solder point

but as I said this would give out on its own and frustrate me

the tuck for the other contact is easier. it can be done as you said. the IKV is tucked once under the lower seal, and then brought back over it, if that makes sense

I like this locktight idea though. Where did you pick it up?

Lowe's in the glue section.

The tuck make's sense the way you explain it, thanks.

You guys lost me a bit on these clearo mods. But what cyrus did was put a vision into an echo shell? Seems having a metal casing vs. plastic would prevent breaking from certain juices (still don't understand that yet, will have to look it up). And charles put a ce2 in an iturbo shell.

So...anything sure-fire i can do to stop my iturbo from leaking? Does recoiling it with double or triple wick work at all? I stacked one wick right on top of the coil and it worked for about a day and then..dribble dribble pour. Or should i just plan on putting something else in its shell?

What do you guys think about a carto tank for the echo? would be huge and tricky b/c of the tapered top but you wouldn't have to refill for a month lol, I saw one for the gogo and got jealous.

 

[Cyrus Vap]

SLEL what's the nature of the leak youre having?

every ten to fifteen drags I get a nice fat drop of juice right trough the air tube. Have to stop, ream Out the air tube tissue/pipe cleaner, unscrew the top and wipe any residue from the top area.

I seem to have entirely fixed this by losing the drip tip and all the metal on top of the air tube

I use the silicone air tube plug and stick a halo Cartomizer mouthpiece into the top. Still end up with some metal in your mouth but even re coiled at 2.0ohms it's not a bother

Haven't tempted fate and gone above horizontal lol

 

[StartLifeEndLife]

Pretty much end up with a constant dribble of juice at the battery contact. Don't seem to get any build up at the mouthpiece/silicone contact point. Seems more like overwicking at the coil/wick level. A light ring of juice will be on my battery after 5 min. A drop at 10 and puddle at 20.

 

[lulu836]

I have 5 of these clearos and only one leaks. The others seem to tighten up after some use. Going horizontal has had no consequences for me yet as long as the drip tip is as tight as I am capable of twisting it and it is FIRMLY seated on the battery. I don't trust them on unsealed batts but all things considered now they are drip free.

 

[StartLifeEndLife]

My issue is prob that I only have one haha. Ill pick up some more when the price drops..I think mtn vapor carries them now but last time I checked they were not in stock yet

 

[Charlz]

Northwest Vapors has the turbos in too. For the 2 out of the seven that I couldn't fix, I stuck an xl ce2 inside. It fits perfectly as long as you don't play with the bottom seal once it is in. A 3ml syringe plunger makes a good seal for the turbos. The echomizers are a little wider and don't work as well-need to find a better seal for Cyrus' mod (ce2/echomizer) They hold over 2mls of juice (I'll get a better measurement when I vape one dry) which is almost enough for a whole day as it uses it more efficiently than a filler carto without waste.

Things that help the turbos are making sure the silicon sleeve isn't pinching the wicks and if you lay another wick on top, make sure it is short and the wicks aren't sitting in juice. The shape of the shell can trap juice up top so these need to wick through natural tipping

Even with my ce2/turbo mod, I trimmed the wicks so they sit above the ml guage.

 

[StartLifeEndLife]

Gotchya thanks for input. Why not just a bigger syringe plunger for the seal on the echo shell, probably have to trim it a bit though. I'm pretty sure a 60 cc syringe would work. At least from what I remember when I used them back when I was nurse assistant.

Edit: probably a size in between would be best.
