I'm glad they worked good for you too. How much juice does the dual coil 1.25 hold and do you find they drain the batteries faster?

I can get 55-60 drops in the duals, haven't tried a syringe on them as I just got them today, but that's about 2ml. They do drain batteries faster as they draw about twice the current from them, but I can use an 1100mAh battery for most of a day before it dies.

Hey Tx,
Hope all is well. Love this thread. The last shipment I was to get has been held at customs for 5 days! They are releasing only some of the order. It is so crazy trying to get these echos to my customers. Last go around I had about 100 echo-e cartos & 100 echo cartos that went in a few days. Now I don't even know what I am getting. Looks like I can't catch a break!
Anyway the dual coil cartos are ok but you have to keep them constantly wet. They do get hot.I use them at night at 6 volts when I have time to sit down and keep re-filling.

That's good I'm glad they're going good. I'm loving my Echo 1300 automatic. It has been working flawlessly and I really like the 3.5 ml carto. Cropduster is having a hard time keeping up too. I was trying to keep this thread about the Echo to keep new followers from getting to confused on the different setups. There is a Go-G0, Riva, Echo comparison thread and a Echo-e thread also. Just mentioning that to myself and others also so we don't have alot of repeat or missed information and confusion.

Still having problems with the flavor and taste on these. They work wonderful but I have filled three carts with black irsh from vapor gormet....carmel cappacino and malty toffee from backwoods....all are 24 nic and 80pg20vg except malted which is 70 vg20 pg... filled carts and let them sit. They all started out tasting bad...burnt metallic tasting ...the carmel cap and black irsh got a little better but they still taste burnt and mettalic. Way diferent from the goto or clearomizer..cartomizer or ikenvapes carts. Have precleaned my last cart but don't want two waste the juice if its going to taste bad. Any suggestions. Could I have got some bad carts. Got them from dput. Thanks ' Al

Yes it is very frustrating to waste so much liquid. This is not a solution to your problem but remember you can get your liquid back...

YouTube - Reverse Taryn Spin

You don't need anything fancy to do the spin. I use a plastic grocery bag and a rubber band. Obviously with an Echo carto you will need the largest end cap you can find.

Will try an ultra sonic cleaner on all carts and see what happens. Really like the way this works ...hope the taste gets better or will have to find something else to use on the batts. How do I tell what threads the batts have? Thanks for the input. Al

the echo batts are 808 threads.

Please let us know the results with the ultrasonic cleaner.

I have not tried the ultrasonic with the Echo cartos. No need yet. My experience using ultrasonic with other carto types was not very positive. Boge LR, dual-coil, smok-tech, etc, never vaped very well after the cleaning.

Thanks, JJ

i agree with omg that it's a wicking issue....i had 2 cartos that worked perfectly, the third tasted terrible...then i realized that i probably hadn't put a full 3mls of juice in it...topped it off once, same burnt taste...topped it off a second time, BINGO...everything's fine!

I get right at 3.5 ml on a new carto and a few drops short of 3ml on a refill. I use a syringe to fill mine and fill until I get a drop out the bottom, let it set a few minutes to make sure none is leaking out and vape away.
I haven't had any burnt taste or wicking issues with mine. I did break one and had one doa that was replaced by Cropduster on my next order. I did have one e-carto that I vaped to dry and singed the filler but other than that mine have worked great for three weeks.:2cool:

All new cartos require extra care on the initial fill, especially on a big carto like the Echo. Even 2ml may not be enough to soak through to the atty, especially with thicker liquids.

The atty (coil) *must* be wet. Otherwise the filler will burn and cause that nasty taste. And some cartos hold that nasty taste for a long time.

It is certainly possible that there are a few defective cartos here & there. But it is very important to be patient and thorough when filling a brand new carto.

I just recently got my Echo-e cartomizer's for my eGo, and here are my first impressions. First off, I was careless when I first opened one to fill for the first time and began shooting juice into the hole instead of the filler. Opps! Once I noticed juice pouring out of the bottom, I slapped myself on the forehead, blew it out, then filled where I was suppose to. Once filled, I only let it sit for about 5 minutes before I couldn't take the anticipation any longer lol! First couple of hits I began to think I may have screwed it up because I wasn't really getting much vapor or TH at all, so I let it sit for about a half an hour longer. Once I replaced my battery again and took another hit, WOW! This bad boy bit me! It looked like my head was on fire! Haha! Awesome vapor production, great taste, and very nice throat hit. I also have noticed it vapes really really smooth compared to the XL cartomizer's I had been using on my eGo. The downside...I am now getting nicotine induced headaches after only like 4 hits. This sucks. Since I am still new to vaping, the only juices I own are all 24mg, but with this new carto it is too much for me. I may have to switch back to my XL's until I can get new juice. :(

All in all I am very impressed with the Echo-e's and highly recommend them. Just make sure you have some lower dose juices to avoid OD'ing. ;)
