Ok so this is the story. I started out with an eGo Mega, LOVED this low res atty I got from litecigusa. It lasted like 3 months, it went weak more and more often but a quick clean and it was just beautiful. So I thought I would upgrade to a LavaTube.

I ordered one from the UK by e cig wizard. My charger one side doesn't work, it has 2 sides for 2 batteries. Both the atty and cartomizer that I bought with it didn't work. They tasted like I stuck a penny in my mouth ON A GOOD toke.

So I asked my buddy where I should get some more atty's from cause I like to just drip with no fuss. He suggested getting them from iVape, I bought a lot of other stuff from there but I didn't know they had good atty's! So I bought up 5.

Out of these five I filled them up with 4-5 drops each and let them sit to soak in for 2-3 minutes then started making sure they all worked.

The first one I tried was AMAZING, seriously best vape I think I ever got. I passed it to my friend to try it out, yea we agreed it was awesome. Then when he passed it back it wouldn't fire... it doesn't heat up, doesn't gurgle, nothing. It is dead.

The second one I get vapor but no flavor. My friend confirmed it was kinda like glue flavor, but the cherry limeade we were smoking kinda canceled it out. It is hard to explain but I def think it is what I imagine hot glue to taste like haha.

3-5 attys where mediocre. But for some reason they have this problem where I will put in 3 drops and vape once or twice. Then always by at least the 3rd puff on it, it tastes horrible. I thought this was cause I was running at 4.0 volts, This feels like my sweet spot. However juice is just pouring out of these things. I will be getting that burnt taste and put more in but it just shoots right out the other side and I can't vape it!

Now I don't want anyone to think I am bashing iVape, I just wanna know if this is a bad batch... or if I am an idiot. I like to think that since I made 3 Mega eGo atty's with one being a low res for over 6 months total that I take good care of them... but I dunno this seems like I just cannot catch a break with vaping lately.

Hey Dangazzm

I'm in the same boat as you!! I purchased my E-power about one month ago, it came with 5 empty 2.0ohm XL single coil LR cartomizers. Only one out of five has worked!!! First one, filled it up, let it sit, added juice, let it sit, few more drops, i tried it and almost gagged!! Horrible, horrible burnt taste. Kept trying to get the taste to go away but could not. Second one actually worked. I have been using that for a few weeks. But the flavor and TH have diminished so i busted open the third, fourth, and fifth. One was dead, did not fire up. I wasted so much juice on these things and i can't even use them!! It stinks.
Companies really need to start doing a better job of quality control because i can't afford to pay 8 bucks for 5 cartomizers and have only ONE work properly!

Yep been there hah I did the same thing as you, filling and waiting for pool then filling and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Tasted like poop, nothing but poop.

Anyways thank you for posting your experience, makes me feel not alone in the whole "I have terrible luck" club.

I wish That there was an easier way to burn eJuice... One that would be fixable and stuff.

Unfortunately, every atoizer/cartomizer is made by hand in china, where quality control is far from 6 sigma... companies wish manufacturers would be more consistent too, I promise. Returns and warranties, in general, come out of our pockets.

Thank you, I was hoping for just some general atty advice in here. Glad I got them from iVape I will tell you that much. You guy's will help me out :p
