Rats, I was afraid of that. I've been reading alot of negative stuff the last couple of days. I guess you have to prime them with some juice. It is your fault I bought mine.lol I didn't want you to get one up on me. I should've waited but I never learn. I said after I had problems with the Giantomizer I wouldn't buy the first ones out anymore. I won't get mine until Monday so maybe you will have them figured out by then.
Yeah it has a me a bit perturbed. Especially with the first two hits being awesome 'Teaser" hits. LOL Hopefully I will get this bugger figured out and have it fixed soon. I will keep everyone posted on the status as it changes. I am charging an eGo-T 1000 mAh right now, I am going to see if perhaps having a full charge will effect it's performance at all.

I've been reading the first reports on gotvapes site and they are almost identical to yours. This is almost the same thing that happened with the Giantomizers and they ended up sending them back.
It definately is the Piper though, I saw some more pictures of the whistle tip and it is the same.
Yes it is, I just did some digging and it is the same unit it looks like. I am off to read the reviews on this on got vapes website.

Well I went over to the GotVapes forum here on ECF and WOW are they fast to get back to ya. 
I like the fast response, it looks like I got a DOA and they are going to take care of me on it This gives me a Happy

Iche Spreche Deutche, aber nicht zer gut.
It looks to me based in the reviews on this site that it has performed admirably. I am thinking I just got one that was damaged during shipping or something like that, or perhaps just a dud. Should have a replacement for it though from what it seems based on the response from the vendor because it is considered DOA.

Will do, thank you for the heads up. I was reading also that these seem to be an LR device. So hopefully my normal vaping habits will not frequently kill them.

I checked mine and it is at 2ohm. I have had no problems at all good flavor, no leaks vaping on a buzz at 3.6v I am on my second tank. So far so good
That is awesome Kellie Hehe I hope my replacement will work like that, I really like the vapor production and taste on it. Even though I only got two draws before it died they were very good quality draws. I am sure I just got a bum atty that was doomed from the start.

It's official, I got a DOA atty, they are in the process of replacing it now. I am sending back the bad one and will hopefully get my new one soon. Gotta Love the great Customer Service at Got Vapes

Here are some photos of my turbine. I've had it for one week to test it out completely. First I'd like to make a note that if yours is not firing try this:
1) Atty photo tank side.
2) Atty photo batt side. Careful to note the position of the disc in center of the atty.
3) This is the firing position of the plunger/disc thingy on my batts. If yours is not firing pull this out slightly with tweezers or needle nose pliers.
4) This is how it looks after I pulled it out a bit. Screw your batt back on and the battery should push it far enough in that it will still remain in contact with the battery. If it is pushed in too far it will not fire. I hope this helps anyone who has a turbine that won't fire.
On to my review! Okay so I'm not really impressed with this very much. I use an ego-t and was quite disappointed to find that the vapor production on my new Turbine was worse than my old 402. After a long draw I only get a puff of vapor and the equivalent throat hit. I use VG blend juices so vapor isn't normally an issue for me. My ego-t pumps out vapor like a fog machine, but this.. this Turbine is more like a weak fart in comparison. I would like to say that the feel of the mouthpiece is nice and more comfortable than the whistle tip on my ego-t.

I just got mine in the mail. Filled up and was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. It was very easy to fill just stuck the tip of juice bottle in the hole and filled it right up. No messy little cap like the eGo tank. I didn't prime it first just stuck in the tank gave it a couple of shakes and started vaping. I got a couple of weak hits and then it started going and I've been using it about four hours now. I got a couple of weak hits and just reseated the tank which is quick and simple and it has been going good ever since. No leaks, no juice in the mouth and no dry hits. It looks much better than it did in the video, I got a stainless and it looks real nice and well made. The whistle tip is really nice much better than I thought it would be. So far it is working better than any carto I've tried besides my Go-Go carto. I wanted something for all my Ego/Riva batteries and I think I've found it but I'll see if it continues to be consistant. It looks and works real good with my 1000 ego batt. It is easy to tell you have juice left by tilting and let juice run into the see thru mouthpiece.
I'm glad I ordered it the first day before all the negative reports came out because I'm sure I wouldn't have after reading some of them. Mine is working good and if it continues I will be ordering more.

thats nice ill be waiting till they get back on stock and prolly order two and ill try two for my two all day fave vape and if turns out good ill stick with it with only two flavors...good review man...oh a quick question...the prime wears off that fast?
The primer wasn't bad tasting like most, it was just straight vg I think and not much of it.
thats nice im on to checking the site if they're availble...last time i check they're sold out
I used it off an on all day and went through 11/2 tanks without any problems. Good vapor, good taste and no leaks. I like this tip more everyday.

That's a really good question. Could anyone answer it? I always line my tank up so that the button is lined up with the flat side of the whistle. That way it sits perfectly on my thumb or index finger when I take a drag. I'd be mightily annoyed if this new tank wouldn't allow that.
