Joyetech uk don't have it yet, they're always well behind on the new gear

FT & 3F have them, there are two versions, there's the CS version which is exactly the same coils as the original egrip & there's the CL version which is the one that takes the ego mega CL coils in standard or rebuildable

I have the new CL one, the CLR coils are much better than the stock ones.

But i'm blowed if i can can pimp it to 30w, tried and tried and it won't happen

blakey any tips?

I've powered it down and then pressed the fire button thirty times but it won't shift from 20w

That is the only way I know- never taken mine above 9w so i've no idea if mine are the same
It isn't recommended to take the CL heads above 20w anyway though - I remember a note on the joyetech.com site to that effect

They're no better than standard rebuildable heads in performance, just a whole lot easier set up and you can adjust the juice flow to the coil.
If you're happy as is then I'd just wait till some bugga gets the CL bases and pick one up for a few quid.
I'm away in september so my motivation was to take 10 pre set up CL heads and a bit of wire and cotton just in case

if you get a minute blakey , would you post a pic of the CL head.............

Thanks for that thought Id got a duff un.
I thought the board with the screen may take up more room so they went with a smaller battery as the old 1 was a tight fit with space inside anyway.

How would the CL heads compare with the original RBA?
Now Ive finally cracked it do you think its worth getting the CL heads egripe?
Taking into account my current set up is 1.4ohms at 3.7 volts or first click on the old un, its not like I need it for foggin out the hoos.

So the CL rebuildable base will fit the previous e-grip?

Only place I can find that does them is www.ecig.eu/parts-and-accessories/atomizer-heads/joyetech-egrip-oled-cl-base.html but yes, wait a while and everyone will start getting them in

do you find it gives a tinny/metal taste to your vape? mine does and one of the reasons I dont use too much

[phtumshk]

Ah silicone cap!
I wondered how it was going to fit in there and seal as per the ego 1.
I thought it was going to be a new chimney with a wider neck or sommat like.
Will definitely be trying them now as you dont have to buy a complete new unit.

Agreed................It'll be handy to just get the base & a couple of rebuildable heads..........

is that with the standard heads or the rba?

[whiteclouds]

standard I think , pardon my ignorance I aint got a clue what RBA is


phtumshk google tells me its the standard base

no worries fella, I wish I didnt know what an RBA was with all the grief I had with it.
The stock/standard coils that come with the egrip need a bit of use till they come into there own.
The metalic taste is more than likely the silica wicks.
Not to late to mention they also need a good soaking with juice prior to use.
The screening material? they use once saturated is excellent at transferring juice to the wicks but until its thoroughly soaked it does a damn fine job of keeping the juice out.

[whiteclouds]

ahh cheers for that; I'll whip it out and give it a good soaking see if that helps

If its in there and been used & you feel its getting dry pop your finger over the hole on the bottom and suck on the drip tip, not to hard (Dont go to mad or itll flood.) and youll see a bubble rise in the tank.
you should be good to go then.

Sooner rather than later itll keep up with the wicking  on its own.
Save the damn good soakings for a fresh wick.

[whiteclouds]

phtumshk soaked it out of the unit - V impressed with it now, sorted - I had convinced myself it was the metal mouthpiece

Thank you very much for your help - I like it now

I'm getting itchy fingers about acquiring the CL rebuildable base & a couple of rebuildable coils from Greece now...............Trouble is, they might do a runner with my dosh, the country being in it's present predicament as it is..............D'you reckon the UK will have them in the not too distant future blakey ?

I've been watching the big China stores and waiting.
Joyetech UK will have them at some point.
Why do you think the Greeks will run off with your money
Do you still wear that tin foil hat when you answer the telephone?
