For people who use a E-echo (with manual batter). Have you solve the question about cartomizers with less than 2 ohms ?
Is there really a problem.

For people who use Echo with automatic battery, do you have this kind of problem.

I'm not sure to understand. What is the best : sealed or not sealed battery. Can you help me ?

Thank you.

The only low ohm issue I have with the automatics occurs on the dual coils (and not all of them) and that is the device stays on till the cut off of 5 seconds which is normally two extra seconds of on time (and it doesn't do this all the time)

with an adapter and an atomizer that is a lower ohm than the dual coils it doesn't do even that...I have no idea why.

Yes. you need to stay in the 2.0 ohm range. My auto doesn't like it when it gets around 1.8 ohms. The coil will also drop n resistance as it ages so a dual coil that may have worked new may cause problems after a while. It typically only does it when I'm toking like mad. But even my kgo battery can get funny at 1.7ohm. It acts like it's sensing a short and will just blink at me. Stick to 2.0ohm and up on these.

Hey guys I saw battery issues mentioned in this thread someplace, but I cannot find it now. I have been meaning to ask for some time now a question about my battery. One of the batteries that came in my echo kit after I screw it in the blue light goes on and tons of vapor bellows out of my echo. Is this a defective battery or do I need to adjust the screw in the cartomizer? Both cartos work with the other battery with no issue.

This has not been a big deal but I left my good battery and charger at work. Forgetting the problem with the battery at home I threaded the carto to the battery and sure enough the mentioned problem happened. I loosened the carto to the point that vapor almost seeps from the space between the battery and the carto. It seems to be working fine now. The only problem is now I get this nasty burnt flavor from the carto. Is there any way to get rid of this flavor?

So the 2 questions from my convoluted post are 1. Any way to get this battery to work right? 2. Any way to get rid of the burnt flavor from the carto?

Sounds like the constant firing of the battery has burnt the carto. Once it's there, there really isn't anything you can do about it. If you put another carto on the battery, does it auto fire? I would think about getting a new one. Hopefully you didn't wait too long to send it back to your supplier.

Just to be clear, you don't do anything but screw it on and it auto fires? Sounds like you have a switch that's stuck in the on position. Usually that happens when juice gets in the battery and causes surface tension to keep it stuck on.

Yeah i have had it for a month or so. It does auto fire when I screw in snugly. If I back the carto off 1 to 1.5 turns it does not autofire and I can vape with it. I will order a new battery today. Also I will order a new carto to replace the one that is bad. My echo all and all has not been what I was hoping. It is good enough to put more money into this style..

Yes you are correct this battery has never worked. Since first chard it has been this way.

Thanks again guys for such great help.

I have lost one of the drip tips off a clearo and I cannot find it anywhere. I heard it hit the plastic mat under my desk chair but apparently it found legs and ran away 'cause I have been looking for like an hour and cannot find it. If anybody has had a tank failure and has a drip tip they are willing to part with I would love to pay you for it and the postage if you could see your way clear to sell it to me. Stupid, I know but it is what it is. :oops:

It is amazing how far some of the little parts can bounce and roll. I've had the same thing happen and have never found them. I wish I had one I would send it to you but sorry I don't have any yet.

lulu, if you have a soft tipped 808 tip....the soft semi opaque ones that come standard on horizontal cartos you can fit it upside down over the metal tip. The newer soft ones have an opening wide enough. You want the more hollow side with the ribs up.

You have to squeeze it in part of the way sideways and poke the part still sticking up into place with a thin something or other. (not a pin or something so thin it will pierce the rubber.) Once you press it down so it's flush with the rubber top and the metal nipple is poking through, you can vape the end awkwardly or twist a rubber echo tip in there. It is soft enough to make it's own threads as you go. You have to hold on to the PV though. That's the downside.

Good luck. It's there.....hiding in the shadows. get a flashlight and You'll probably find it.

I do have a few now, so just let me know. I don't need all of them. These are going to collect like rubber whistle tips lol!
Need any of those? Anyone? I'm going to have to get a project box just for rubber tips and parts. Got more of them than Tx has batteries!

Crisis averted. I got a bigger flashlight and put my 73 year-old self flat on the floor and did a "grid-search" of the entire area under my desk and found it hiding in the furtherest reaches of the back corner of the desk. Got a coat hanger, untwisted it, twisted a loop into one end and fished it out. There is something about this hobby that makes me do weird and strange things just to get all my ducks in a row. Tomorrow I'm gonna put a big thick bath towel over the small but wide opening in the front of the desk 'cause I'm tired of fishing under the desk with a coat hanger for bits and pieces of equipment! :laugh:

and a pic of the ITurbo:

A question for someone who owns a ITurbo. Does your look like the one in post #2443 or the Stardust from GotVapes?
GotVapes VISION eGo Stardust™ 1.6ml Top Coil Carto 2.5-2.8 ohm [gv-visionstardust-2.5] - $6.25 : Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
or the $3.75 each Vision eGo Transparent Clearomizer that Tex linked to.
Vision eGo Transparent Clearomizer

Specifically the ITurbo's clear tube appears to fit into the base and all the fill marks are visible and the Stardust shows the tube over the knurled part of the base with the bottom fill mark over the knurled base.

Haven't tried posting pictures before so I hope this works.
