Hi, me again lol... I started this Echo adventure with 3 18MG of Vaperite 24mg 50/50 mixes.. This stuff is brown, and it's thickish (??). I am not using a needle, I just drip a few drops on an angle avoiding the center hole and let it sit on it's side for a bit. It seems as I put in juice it's just all following out the bottom, like watering a plant that was just watered, yet these cartos tasted dry earlier.

Am I doing it wrong? Is it the juice? Keeping them on their side for a period of time is something new I am trying. It's just leaking out as soon as I put it in!!

I don't know what would cause that other than it going into the center air tube. I use 80-20 PG and it doesn't leak out at all until it is overfull. You would think the thicker juice might be harder to fill but you would think thiner juices would be more apt to leak through. I do know of one instance someone with a Go-Go carto had that problem and their filler was not all the way down to the bottom. How long did you vape on the original fill? It sounds like it is full of juice. Mine lasts around 12 hours of heavy vaping.

Ugh, maybe I am just playing it too safe, I am afraid to burn them up LOL. When do you know it's done? No more vapor at all?

You don't have to worry about burning them up. The vapor will diminish before it gets to the burning point. I've never got a burnt taste on any of my Go-Go's or Echo and I vape them down pretty low. I got just a few drops short of 3 ml on my last refill.

Seriously???? I have been wanting a go-go! I use 808 and cartomizers right now and dang, I really really REALLY hate the taste of burnt vapor. I have almost enough saved to order one... Small blonde female went and did the tractor work in the neighbors corn fields today to earn some extra go-go money :)

I have been using the syringe to fill mine at first and once I have the carto filled I stand it up right so all the juice gets absorbed from the bottom to the top and it is all the way full, I usually get just a couple drops out the bottom but who cares I wipe it up and the carto off and I know I'm full.

Tonight I went to the ballgame (Phillies) we won ! and I used my Echo throughout the entire ballgame and had put my 801 clear drip tip on before I left to the stadium. I found that topping off every once in a while really adds a lit of flavor to you vape with these, like I said earlier though I have a bit of a fear that if you where not to do this properly you could get lots of liquid into your batt opening and that wouldn't be good. I put only 2 drops in at a time and then held it upright just slightly as I rolled the batt to make sure it wasn't going down the center hole to the Batt, if you can get this down you should be able to top off consistently and always have a great deal of flavor, for those who don't want to risk it just unscrew add a few drops or top off and wipe the bottom and twist back on and start vaping a few pulls, this dam Echo is a really nice unit I'm liking mine very much its a no muss no fuss consistent vape and that's something many are looking for. Once this unit and these carto's get out there a little more I think they are gonna fly off the shelf, you know I loaded up with some extras:2cool:

Oh Ya, and dam I keep rolling this dam Batt looking for my button, it's funny after using Manual Batts for so long I'm not use to these Auto's yet but its a super nice change of pace not having to feel for and use a button any longer

I know the feeling and if you go back to a manual after using it a few days you keep thinking the batt is dead because you don't get any vapor when you take a hit on it.:2cool:

I agree a freshly filled saturated carto hits a little better than one I've vaped for ten to twelve hours but the difference is very slight for me. By constantly topping off and having to carry a bottle of juice defeats the main purpose of having a 3 ml carto for me. I like the fact I only have to fill my carto once a day and charge the battery once.

I think you will really like the Echo. I know I do. How long does it take to get mail from the States down to South Africa. It sounds so far away but just a few clicks on a computer. Things have really changed in my lifetime. lol When I was growing up all we had was a radio for entertainment now my grandkids are on the computer communicating with other kids around the world. It amazes me when I think about it.

I think Dennis said 6-10 days plus I reckon about another week at customs. I normally order from China (slow mail - cauz it's cheap) so I'm kinda used to waiting 3 weeks. One would think after soooooo much practice it gets easier, but trust me, it doesn't. 3 weeks is a long time when you want it NOW. This is my first order from the States. I hope I'm pleasantly suprised. I wish it was here already. :facepalm:

You are the first to report that problem with the echo. It was fairly common with the Go-Go and iGo but I was hoping it wouldn't occur with the Echo. They all have the same type of floating connection though so I guess it is logical that it might happen. It isn't a problem for the experienced vapor but it really throws some new vapers for a loop. Good job on detecting it and finding the fix without knowing about it. Keep us posted if it continues or not.

Yup, happened again last night when I went to put it on the charger, I don't get it since the other one isn't doing it and all I am doing is screwing on a carto and going.

Fabsta Echo is good stuff man you will like this unit. I'm liking both the stock soft rubber tips that come with it and the 801 Drip tip, I'm running one of each on both of mine, I do like dripping into these cart's and keeping them topped off but like txt said you can go for quite some time without adding anything. These Ecgo's are working very well for me I have been running them since 4pm yesterday non stop and they have held up putting out plumes of nice vapor with great taste.
