Great review! I have to admit I picked these up for a good "tank" type system on my Darwin, as I'm not a big fan of normal polyfill cartos. I was pleasantly surprised with their performance, and even though they are in the 2.4-2.6 (or 2.6-2.8) range, they actually work perfectly at about 3.7 volts, so they work really well on standard 3.7 batteries in addition to VV/VW devices. Also, since they're not low resistance, I get really great battery life when using them because they don't pull a lot of current out of the battery - so even using a 10440 based mod, I get a pretty decent run time before having to swap batteries. I've never had much luck with the "CE" series prior to this. I vaped 2 different CE3's non stop over the course of 2 days. Unfortunately, after the second day, I developed the nastiest case of sore throat I've had since I can remember. Have you had any similar issues with them being rough on your throat? It is possible that the sore throat came from something else, but I'm wondering if these just don't agree with me. It's a real shame because I LOVE these on my darwin for the convenience. I'll probably give them another try once my throat stops hurting (it's the end of day 2 since I stopped using them, and my throat is still hurting pretty bad).

Are you getting dry hits? Some of the dry hits i get are brutal on my throat and that maybe whats causing it. Also the draw is airy on it so i dont know if thats whats causing it but coming from a HH357 with a shield that gives me a nice stiff draw i feel like im vaping thru a straw.

Not that I noticed, but I wonder if the dry hits are extra brutal for the same reason.

If i have to pay 12 bucks and become a wick trimmer ill stick to dripping. Whatever happened to things working exactly the way they claim right out of the box?

correct me if im wrong but i thought i saw on one of the release vids these tanks are suppose to be a little flimsy to help with the cracking.
