Been vaping the G-4 all day with my e liquid and it is pretty good. Trying to learn it and the Ego at the same time today. Of the two it seems like the ego is a good setup but I keep getting leaks in the cartomizer when filling. When I filled the G-4 I filled with a needle through the little tube in the middle and I don't think I should have done that, it bubbled on me for nearly half the carto but seems to be ok now. I think that tube feeds right to the bottom and it should be filled on the side??????
Fill by dripping down the side, the middle tube is for the vaper to come back to you. No needle needed.

They look like a version of the Vortex and you can use a drip tip on them, but you could get leaks if laying on it's side as the included mouth piece is the only thing to serve as a top seal. I didn't like the mouth piece on the vortex. Also I like using the xl clearcarto's and the vortex didn't hold that much juice.

Darn.... Another cool but not so cool carto. Only able to get a little bit of juice in them and can reuse 3 to 5 times then
toss em? Think I'll just stick with the bottle fed device and my CE2 XL clearomizers that I modded using a 3mil syringe that
I can use over and over and over and over and over,....I could do this all night. I think I'll get a pack, try it and then mod em
Some how...LOL!!! Can't wait to see all the reviews!

If they're the Vortex and the drip-tip lets it just leak out then I'm going to blow a gasket. I don't know why I even bother to try new cartos. I always end up at the Boge again. *sigh*

I've got a lot of these coming Tuesday though so I'll guess I'll know better and then take them to Vapestock for people to try out. -Magnus

If there anything like the vortex there trash ! I'll take my Boge's and Iken's and Dual Coils all day long over these there tried and true performers, once I see people raving about how great they are for the 30-45 days after everyone has them I'll try them:2cool:

I'll gladly be a test subject in this process ;)

I'm really starting to freak out that none of the vendors will step forward and say this isn't the Vortex..... oh dear. -Magnus

The other question in my mind is, if it IS the Vortex, is this design from before or after GotVapes released theirs? If it's before, holy moly watch out :) Still when my Vortex(es) weren't leaking or popping open in my pocket, they were a pretty enjoyable vape.

Been using mine for a couple of days now and not sure yet if i like them or not. I learned really fast to insert the "bulb" type cap in at least half way..had a nice big juice stain on my slacks all day at work from it falling off in my pocket and I will not go in to the details of the jokes in the office!

I have not had any accidents since then though and I really enjoy the flavor of the 808 on my Bloog but what really works nice is the 510 on my Prodigy V3 at 6v very nice vapor production and flavor.

Looks like they just hit the scene. Any suppliers or vapers try these first hand yet? I just ordered a couple boxes from LF.

I've only tried one for a few drags, but it was apparent that the mouth piece can fall out and then it spills juice all over the place (on you). I've seen it happen.

Good bottom coil design though. Gravity feed is nice. The design has potential... the mouthpiece needs to be tighter than the example I tried. The tube that the air is drawn through is kinda narrow, and vapor is drawn through it, which can lead to condensation. Whether the tube is big enough for the condensation to drip back to the coil, rather than get sucked into the mouth- is yet to be seen.

Historically I've not been a big cartomizer fan. But some of these new designs are interesting. This one has potential. I need more time with them to be more specific.

However, the vape was pretty nice.

Well kind of a trade off there :) I just ordered two boxes because I can't help myself. But I only have an HV PT, so kinda a bummer these will work best tethered for me. Somehow, I see a VV mod in my future if I can ever stop buying stuff like these things long enough to save up! :laugh:

If these are made by the same company these are being made by the A team. Quality is better the first two I PULLED OUT DIDN'T LEAK but they ohm out at 3.8 to 3.9 which makes them wonderful for a vv mod will go to 6 volts but 4.8 to 5.:2cool: 1 2 3 seems to be the sweet spot maybe ended up with bet hv atties but I'm liking them

I just ordered today, but I have to agree -- from the photos, they don't look like the Vortex. The concept and general design looks the same, but I don't see the filler/filter paper thingy in there (which is great because I wreaked havoc on mine trying to take that darn thing out -- wicks better without, imho).

I'm juked for these as I really liked the design ... just not the leaking.
