I got one 2 weeks ago and love it, Never thought I would as much compared to my Provari/Z-atty.
My wire fried today and thought I would re-wire with 32awg K1 and it's a bit to large. Lucky enough I ordered some 34awg and 36awg 100' spools last week. So i should get those soon. 36awg was hard to find, would like to get some 35 just in case if i can find it?
It is a gas guzzler :lol:

A friend of mine ordered one and he loves it as well, but DROPPED it today. He had it on eGo-T mod 18650 2200mAh fatty and the weight of that broke the bottom 501 threads off of the V.E. and the threads of the control Unit head after having that less than a week, shell out another $9 for that... (ouch)

Can you get parts for the V.E. yet? I haven't seen them anywhere.

thanks for the reviews and how to vids o/

I did locate pre-made coils and wicks for the Eternitys, $2 each ... not that I'm interested in the wire and silica, but each coil comes with a pair of the little metal post clips! Now I've get 8 of the little devils, so watch ... from here on out, I won't lose a single one! But like the Boy Scouts, "Be Prepared" ...

Right now, I'm running one Eternity in dripper mode and one in tank mode ... both seem nearly identical in flavor and vapor, with the dripper mode holding a slim edge in both. Now, if I could only figure out a good way to remove/replace the little wick in the spike! Any helpful suggestions will be much appreciative ...

Something else I wasn't aware of ... in tank mode, if you pre-fill the drip well with the normal 25-30 drops and then put on a full tank, the Eternity doesn't start drawing juice from the tank until the drip well is nearly empty! The tank mode lasts me for a couple of days ... sweet!

The flavor is most definitely better than a carto...any carto.
Vapor is outstanding. :)

You don't sound like you are a carto kinda guy. SmokTeck Duel coils are the best taste of all carto/atty/ce 1,2,3 and 4's. And Boge's are up there close in flavor and the best in vapor.

I have got my V Eternity a few weeks ago and the flavor and vapor production are a worthy contender to my favorite carto's. It works the best for me when I fill the dripping tank then fill the ego tank, and vape it (Both methods at once). I really like it, and the only times it leaks out of the bottom is when I first overfill the dripping tank. When doing both methods at once, it only takes about 15 to 20 drops to re-fill the dripping tank when you reload the ego tank.

It's time to re-coil now, and I have no problem with that, except for replacing the ego siphon wick from the ego post.
What is the best way to replace that?

I pulled out the spike wick from the bottom end. I took a small piece of SS mesh & wrapped it around a piece of silica wick, leaving a wicking tail of the silica. (The SS mesh just helps hold it up inside the spike.) I trimmed to size, fitted it up into the spike...from the bottom. Once I screwed the spike section back on, I pushed from the top until I felt it contact the coil. It must make contact with the coil for it to wick.

Thanks, AG! That explanation was what I've been looking for ... I think the Eternitys are great in tank mode, but replacing that spike wick has been really bugging me!

I agree. I fill the tank & drip well, & it goes most of the day for me. It took me a moment to figure out what I was going to do with the spike wick too. Mine was charred up pretty good after using the Eternity for a few weeks. It was a bugger getting the old wick out, because it's crimped into the spike. Once you have the new one installed, it's easy to swap it out once in awhile.

I got the VE the other day and want to remove the silica wick from the coil and put in cotton. I have #4 cotton yarn, 4 ply. How many strands should I use? I understand that the cotton swells and you don't want the coil to choke the wick. I'm thinking 2 or 3 strands, but that's just a guess.

I finally got the wick in the tank post. The original one started loading the coil about when half of the bottom tank was used, this one does when the bottom tank is empty. I liked the first one better, but at least now I know when it is time to load up the bottom tank. I don't have to wait for a dry hit. Matter of fact, I have never had a dry hit from mine.

Next time, I am going to try to drill out the hole on the top of the spike, and maybe I'll be able to pull through a folded small wick.

How long can you go on one coil? This one I have used about 15ml in three days and it is starting to not taste as crisp. It is still working and the flavor is OK now. Do you clean your wick, or just throw on another?

Depends on how it looks, and what the wicking material is ... if silica, rinse off under the tap, pat dry, and—after checking to be sure the little clips are still firmly in place—do a few quick, low-voltage dry burns until the coil glows evenly and the wick is clean. If cotton (I use cheesecloth), rinse it off under the tap, use a toothpick to gently brush the crud off the coil, and then—if it looks pretty clean and the little clips are still firmly in place—refill and vape away. If your juice was pretty thick and/or dark, and if you're using cotton (or hemp, or bamboo, etc.), it's probably time to just make a new wick. I usually get about 2-3 tanks out of a CC wick, and as many as 5-6 out of silica. YMMV. :laugh:
