Cracked cartos

[evanesco]

I bought some XL clear cartos, I've used 2 and they have both cracked around the bottom, that's a hell of a lot of wasted juice, I'm too scared to open the others

What juice were you using in them Evanesco?

Where did you get them from?

The old style CE2s (I assume that's the kind you got for clearos) had a very thin casing and were very prone to cracking. They were like that up until revision 5 when they brought out the "vision" aka ultimate edition.

Some vendors will still sell the old version but you can get the ones with harder casing from freedomvape: freedomvape.co.uk/shop/article_1049/XL-Ultimate-Clearomizers.html?shop_param=cid%3D7%26aid%3D1049%26

I've used these for a few months and I'm happy to say, not a single crack.

Use JAN15 for 15% off right now but they're already priced well as it is.

For the ones you have now though there is still hope! You can buy BD 3ml syringes and cut them to size which are so crack proof, I haven't had a single one crack until one was run over by a car. Then it cracked but the CE2 inside was still working so I just put on a new tube.

You can get the BD 3ml syringes from ebay for very cheap. They tend to get shipped in packs of 10 or so.

Just need to cut it to the same length of the tubes for your CE2s and cut off the handles where your fingers are meant to go on the syringe tube.

The whole casing problem was completely solved with the ultimate edition as I said though so it's up to you if you want to buy new ones or buy some syringe cases for them to use.

Hope that helps

Erm, Pink Spot Jane's Wild Juices in one and LF Caramel Latte in the other.

It was these from HealthCabin www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1076_1079&products_id=7777

Oh dual coils? I'd get onto them about it if they're under warranty. I wouldn't expect them to crack like that unless you were using them at high voltage or the lowest resistance.

I'd avoid the clear versions of dual coils as well as they're generating more heat through the unit.

Scylla had that Evan with some of HC's own clear DC's . . . certain juices can for some reason cause the tubes to crack, which is why I think Jason asked what you're using.

But I'd contact Amy at the Health Cabin and explain what's happened, see what she says as she may have had other similar reports from customer's.

I really like them too which is pretty gutting because I've been searching for my perfect connections

[evanesco]

I've sent a ticket to CS, I wouldn't come on moaning before searching for some kind of a resolution first.

There were problems with those and a lot of complaints apparently.
The ones they sell now have this message on the listings

Note：The glass tube has been strengthened with better material and will not crack in the bottom joint.

[evanesco]

I only just got them so they should be a pretty recent batch.

That's not on, best to get in touch with the seller and tell them about all the juice you've wasted as well. It's too expensive to lose
