Here were my thoughts on what could be better on these....

#1 lets make the bridge (plastic O ring that keeps the poly in place) a part of the cartridge rather than having it balance there. The bridge on the cart will come loose and float into the tank if you even look at it sideways when refilling with a syringe.

#2 having to refill from the polyfill end is a pain, it means pushing the filler to the side and having to readjust it again when finished to keep the seal and prevent dumpage on the atty. Being able to refill from the mouthpiece end would be much better, maybe a plug can be removed to allow dripping rather than carrying a needle.

#3 the plastic used in these carts is way too fragile, all my carts have cracks throughout them from the stress that is required to insert and remove them (i have had these for 2 days). The plastic used in the standard 510 cartridge would work much better and last longer where it stands up to twisting much better than the compound used in the smart carts

#4 They need to make them a bit smaller in diameter, these are a really tight fit and would eliminate problem #3

#5 Im not sure im comfortable with the polyfill being glued in there, glue and e-liquid do not go together, lets keep the carts glue free for obvious reasons.

Allen from cdnvapor.com is gathering suggestions that he will relay to the manufacturer, so maybe things will turn around.

I sure hope so. What I get upset about is the Chinese surfing the forums and modding their product to one or more of the sometimes proven sometimes not proven mods, instead of doing similar research and trials like vapers do. If we are doing it. I am sure they can as well. Does that make sense. We are a bunch of kicks so to speak, they have engineers on staff, do they not? No offense to the professionals out there...

Forums like this work out their problems for free. They have engineers but they wait for us to come up with all of the ideas and then make some changes months after releasing a product. It's free and there are a ton of guinea pigs around testing here.

I love my smart carts from Al! I am vaping off one of the smart carts as I type this and have been for the last couple of days. I tend to switch from boge carto's to ce2 r4 xl cartos, to smart carts. Mine don't leak and never have. What I did was took the filler out and trimmed it up so it wasn't as thick inside. The thickness made it harder for the liquid to seep into it, thus making it dry and unable to wick. I do use a blunt tip stainless steel needle and stick it right down the side of the smart cart to the bottom of it and fill right up until it saturates the filler. The bubbling is showing u that the filler is filling with juice as you drag from it. No one likes it when they go dry and there is a ton of juice left in the tank. So that is a good sign if it bubbles. There should be only one or two bubbles though that rise to the top, not a whole bunch. Not sure why yours leaked unless it was full of air maybe. Maybe its a dud? One thing you have to remember is make sure the smart cart is snug in the atty. That means that you can't see any gap inbetween the smart cart and the atty at all. They should fit flush and snug. You really got to push down on them to get them to snap into place. They are a very snug fit. I often find myself blowing into the top of it to feed the juice down into the filler, because once in a blue moon I do get a dry burn taste because the juice got stuck inside the tank and hasn't run down. Another tip I did was I took a sharp needle, and poked several holes in the filler while it was in the smart cart, to give it a more pourus texture, allowing the juice to settle in there better, so it wicks better. I hope this helps. I really enjoy the smart carts. Just keep at it, and you will get the joy too I am sure!

Danesnpits, if you've got $60 to drop, you should pick up the Go-Go. I've never had a more satisfying vape. Each vape is consistent in TH and vapour production. The 3ml cartos last all day, and the batteries last for 2.

It's almost too boring. Nothing to be modded, changed or tweaked.

I used to have 2 PV's going, now I don't even bring a backup!

Nice to see you are still loving your Go-Go. How did the LR carto's work out, I think I remember you saying that the SR ones had a big hit to them. How many refills do you get out of the cartos? Any word on a 510 adaptor? Still on the fence about this one, been dripping for too long!

Hi lelly

The Go-Go is my perfect PV. LR cartos are a little warmer than the regular ones, no difference in TH or vapour. I think I'll stick with the regular ones.

The taste and TH are amazing and the convenience is the tops. I no longer have to bust out my Vaping kit with various methods, bits and bobs. I put a Q-Tip stem down the cartos centre hole, and fill it with juice til I get a drip or two out the battery end, and I'm good to go until the next day.

I just threw out a carto after 2 weeks of constant use and nightly fills. The flavour and vape production dropped off. That's around 40 mls pushed through! I suppose I could have cleaned it, but I have 4 more that came with the kit.

SSV2 is working on a Go-Go to 808 adapter, but even if the Go-Go stays proprietary only, I don't care, the batts last for 2 whole days, and it's all I need or want.

Keep a dripping PV to test flavours, and go get that Go-Go, you will not regret it.

And if you do regret it, I'll buy it from you ;)

oh boy, I see what you mean LambChop ! I had one bust last night while I was trying to remove it from the atty... sticks in there so tight.

Another strange thing... I filled one up, everything seemed fine.. no leaks, so I stuck it in the atty.. immediately the atty is flooding. I pull it out, no leaks, put it back in.. flooding again. Within six hits 1ml of juice is GONE, I could see the bubbles forming inside of the tank with each hit.. I'm not sure where it went, juice heaven maybe..

They seem to be okay if I just drip juice on the foam... which defeats the purpose of the tank.
