For those that may need them cropduster901 has the stainless echo batt's and carto's. He is currently running a deal that if you buy 4 carto's you get one free. It is great customer service and he is full of advise if you need it.

I agree Tony is a great guy to deal with. I see he has added Go-go's to his site.

^^^ Tony is awesome, he is the only one I go through for my Echo supplies :)


Update on a month with my Echo's; I am on my 2nd atty and it's going STRONG, vaping the GREATEST juice in the world!!! Wordup.com's NewPort :) My lord is this juice AMAZING. Got it about 2 weeks back and it's so addicting, it official replaced RY4 as my fav. I got it in 50/50 PG/VG, vapes great through the Echo with tons of flavor.


The first day on my new atty (2 weeks back) was a bit harsh, as I forgot to dry-burn my atty, I learned my leason. Thats the only problem I have with the Echo carto's, that new "HARSH" atty taste seems to go on the entire day before clearing out, took about 100 vapes to do so. Other then this I've been a very happy camper. :)

Yeah he is supposed to be adding some more stuff as well. I just got in his Cub. It's a manual 808 thread so it can work to help clean your echo carts and runs off a 600mah batt. It works great so far and I can use it with the 808 carts I already had to test out juices for my echo. I think I'm sold on 808 being my size of choice

I saw the Cub and it looked like a nice little mini mod. I have the B-52 and it is a nice PV too and the Echo cartos work on it also.

If The Cub is considered a mini mod would the B-52 be a full sized mod? I was wondering what The Cub would be classified as. What exactly qualifies as a mod?

I don't know what technically classifies them as mods but I consider them mods if they use a replaceable battery. I would consider the B-52 as a small mod. The big mods would be those that use fatter bigger batteries like the 18650 and capable of stacking batteries for 6 or 7 volts like my Indulgence or Cropdusters 747and many others. I'm not much into mods but I have a couple.

No you don't want to dryburn a new carto. You will burn the filler and then it will taste bad. Just fill it with 3 ml of juice and it will be fine. You only want to dry burn a carto when you are doing a complete clean and have removed the filler.

I've had my echo for about month and at first I was thrilled coming off a basic starter kit with terrible batt life. Since then I've also been vaping on an ego style bat with dual coil cartos and I've found that I prefer the draw when compared to the echo which seems kind of airy for lack of a better term. I've also found that my echo cartos only last me about 2 days, which is a far cry from the 100 refills that I was sold on. Since the echo cartos are so much more expensive than the 510 dual coils I'm considering putting my echo kit up for sale or trade in the classifieds. Unless of course anyone here has some info on how to make the draw on the echo less airy and how to get a much longer life out of the cartos. TIA for any advice you can offer.

What kind of problems are you having with your cartos after two days? Mine last much longer in fact I've only set two aside to be cleaned, had one doa, and broke two in two months. Do you push the filler down with a straw after a couple of refills? The filler shrinks up a bit away from the coil and needs to be pushed down. That is the only thing I've done with mine. I do vape menthol which doesn't gunk up the coils as quick as some of the darker juices. I like the draw on mine but some users plug the air hole on the battery to make it draw harder. Bill at D&B Gold has the cartos priced at 5 for 12.50 which is 2.50 ea which is what most 3 ml cartos sell for.

I'm sure it's probably realized by most folks so forgive me for the obvious. There may be a couple of people that want to try the Mohawkz Method of carto cleaning/rebuilding on their Echo cartos. I know OMG doesn't have a problem since she has the Igo which has a manual power button.

For the "pulse" method of dry burning the coil on the Echo cartos though, unless you have lungs the size of an ox, the auto battery will be a lot more difficult to dry burn. Simplest method for dry burning them is likely in your arsenal already. Most start with an 808 or 510 e-cig that is of a small form factor similar to a cigarette. Even if you no longer use them for vaping, they still come in handy.

If you have a kr808d1 (such as V4l, Vapor King, etc.) manual battery and want to do a cleaning including a dry burn, just use one of those since the threads are the same as your Echo auto batteries. If you don't have a manual laying around, they can be picked up cheaply in the classifieds or at many online vendors.

Or if you have a 510 or really any other battery that is manual, you can go to most sites like Mad Vapes, Avid Vaper and many others and get an adapter for 510 (or whatever you have) to 808 for a couple of bucks. Again, forgive if this is obvious but for any newer folks just getting into the Echo scene, this is an easy and less stressful way to do your dry burn on your Echo carto coils! :)

Or you could use a can of compressed air instead of your lungs ;p

I asked the question because of this post by EtherMagic

The first day on my new atty (2 weeks back) was a bit harsh, as I forgot to dry-burn my atty, I learned my leason. Thats the only problem I have with the Echo carto's, that new "HARSH" atty taste seems to go on the entire day before clearing out, took about 100 vapes to do so.

It sounded like he/she was saying a new cart needed to be dryburned.

That is what she was saying but it isn't logical. The cartomizers do not come with primer like an atty that sometimes needs cleaned or burned off. If you dryburn a cartomizer you will burn the filler and then you will have a burnt taste. The only way to safely dryburn is to remove the filler. Some people pull the carto partially out off the coil and dryburn then slide it back down but all the gunk you burn off stays in the carto. I haven't tried that but anyway that would only be after it had been used awhile and was gunked not needed on a new carto.

Thanks for the tip on pushing the filler down Tumbleweed...I had no idea that needed to be done. I'm definitely going to try that and maybe plug the air holes of the bat to get a tighter draw. I do tend to you darker juice that's got 30-40% VG so that may be part of the problem. I really appreciate your advice. I'm a newer vaper and don't know all the tricks just yet:blush:
