Wouldn't work well for me neither, washed it before I used it and it still took 20 hits to get the nasty taste out of it, then worked ok for awhile, let it sit over night and works ok but not as well as a lr type a. I love the go-go and have put clearomizers on my two ego-t batts. they are wonderfull. I have type a 'type, b type and the turbine. They all work well, when they work, just too much hassle to keep them going. For 10 to fifteen bucks for each atty I can get more than 5 clearomizers or carts for the go go and they both work great.
