OK Kids, time for me to chime up on this defective carto talk 'cuz boy I've got some experience there! When I first ordered my go-go kit (like on page six of this now monsterous
thread!) all was well, except I had the notorious center stem problem, but my cartos worked fine. When I reordered (the new silver ones), ALL ten, yeah that's right, all ten were bad and I sent them back to Nhaler. I rec'd some black ones back this time. I popped them on and they didn't work either. I was not happy and me having some serious nicotine withdrawal at this point wasn't helping the situation!! Anyway, Drew was having a very hard time believing that this was for real (as I was!) and after a day of me pondering the problem I decided to pull up on the stem to make connection with the battery. When I first tried this it didn't work. When I tried again the next day, it did. Apparently, I hadn't pulled up on the stem enough. I wrote Drew letting him know what the problem was so that he could inform his customers if they experience the same problem. He was kind enough to send me a couple of those pretty silver LR cartos that I had my heart set on for my troubles. I got them yesterday and NO-GO for the go-go. I pulled that center stem practically OUT of my battery and it still is not working. I feel there's a problems with silver ones and even this second generation of black ones for that matter as I never had to pull the stem (yeah, I hear you all laughing) with the old ones.
If anyone wants to ask me questions, best to pm me because I rarely come to this
thread anymore.
On an entirely different matter, it really bothers me to see people "bash" a fellow vaper for talking about some trouble he's had with a supplier. That is "his" experience and not yours. If you've had a great experience w/a supplier and had no problems, cheers for you, but that doesn't negate that others have had trouble. It's well known by a LOT of people on this board that Cigeasy has some serious communication problems. If you haven't, again, great for you, but that doesn't negate that a lot of people have, me included. There are certainly a lot of people on this board that are almost afraid of saying anything negative about a supplier. I've had people pm me that also had trouble but they weren't "going public" about it. To each his own. With that said, go have a look at Cigeasy's forum. I've got a complaint lodged there since JANUARY because the moderator moved my post there. Well, I've never heard back from Frank. So when people talk about how great Cigeasy is, there are those of us who haven't had the same pleasure. I truly do think Frank is probably a great guy who is probably just overwhelmed w/the amount of business he had, so I wouldn't bash the man, just his business practice. Personally, I think SSV2 is fantastic to deal with if he's still helping Frank out. But really, next time someone wants to jump all over a fellow vaper for voicing his problem, consider this, you've not experienced that persons frustrations or had their same experience. It's theirs, not yours, don't "bash" them for it.
