Finally HERE and Available NOW - GotVapes VORTEX

[bstedh]

Is it just me or does anyone else have to keep a google window open to search these "rofl" and make sure they mean what you think they do. I guess I should text on my phone more often... =] tee hee

I definately like these. I had to order a different style PCC to fit them. (I actually would have bought it anyway. I've been looking for this kind forever anyway. ) I will buy very many when and if they come in metal. I am playing with retro-fitting metal tubes on the ones I have. This is only because 1) I am a clutz and drop things constantly and 2) I like fruity stuff too, but don't like wondering if a flavor is going to wreck my carto. I will be using these with my tobacco flavors, and drip the rest until there are metal ones for me to buy. (please, please, please, please. )

I removed the ALF and center tube assembly from the Vortex and am using the atty w/ outer tube on my bottom fed REO. Works like a charm. And, if there's any leakage at all, the juice runs into the REO's juice cup and is vaped away

Somewhere on the forums here someone has already posted photos of Vortex in a Map Tank.

Definately a very moddable thing....
And yanno, with both caps pulled off it slightly reminds me of a 306...the way it is all exposed...but bridgeless even

ALF - American Legacy Foundation, really??? What does it stand for pertaining to e-cigs. Couldn't help it - had to ask. (Something, something, filler?)

Would the Vortex fit in your old PCC without the extended mouth piece? They're only slightly longer than a regular KR808 carto with condoms when using a flat rubber plug (like comes with the CE2).

 

[daisyd]

This one will yes, but when the 510's come out (which is what I use) they will be too long. People who have the traditional 3 slot PCC from Joye should be able to fit it in the slot designed for an atty and cart put together. The one I ordered is more like the kr808 PCC where the cartos lay sideways (but there's more room and when Gotvapes finally gets those 2ml bottles in I can fit 2 cartos, an atty w/ driptip, a juice bottle, and a spare batt, along with the one that's charging). I have an accessory addiction so, like I said, I would have ordered it anyway. I just did it sooner because of these.

The two packages of Vortex's I ordered came in this morning. The old lady at the Post Office really got me out of there with them fast. Ever since she's had wheels put on her walker it takes me less than 45 minutes to get my package and get out.

I get them home, open one, fill it up and I've been chain-vaping on it for two hours and its not empty yet. I used FSUSA's HopScotch 50/50, great flavor and acceptable amount of vapor. My Buzz likes it at 3.4 (using my highly unreliable Radio Shack meter) and there are no leaks. Mouthpiece needs to be a little tighter, but we already knew that. Fine little carto that I'm sure will only get better as time goes by.

While I'm here, I need a question answered by one of you old timers.

I can put this little carto on my buzz, and also many of the other different types of cartos I have (i.e., mega-808's) and they work fine. Some of these same cartos I can put on my 5v pass-through and they work great.

BUT, I can stick one on a KR808D-1 batty or my wifes little Defender, or my Buzz at around 4v and they will taste burnt. I try to never buy a carto less than 2.8 ohms but some are 2.6 and some are 3.2 ohms.

CE2'S and some brands of mega-808's work fine on the KR808D-1 batty and others will taste burnt.

Why is this?

Why is this?

The lower the ohms the higher the heat. Freshly charged 808 batts are over 4V so add this to a lower ohm carto and you may have too much heat at the coil.

I have also found that if I start to get a slightly burnt taste i can increase the speed of my draw and it will go away. Basically the greater airflow from the heavier draw keeps the coil cooler.

Edit:: The inverse is also true... If not producing enough vapor or flavor I just slow down my draw.

Sluers"" If I go to a restaurant and the food is bad, I am going to tell my waiter. Now the waiter did not cook my food himself, but he is representing the restaurant.""

Ok, my question is, do you tell the waiter the food was bad and either would like new food politely, or do you get up in the middle of the restaurant and start screaming about how your food was horrible and how your whole world is ending and thats the worst restaurant you ever ate form and start trashing plates everywhere.???

Now I am sure , just as you have been you would be polite about the situation and let the waiter go and bring your food back. right?

BUT... Some others simply rather stand up in the restaurant and make a spectacle. Daniel and I as owners wont allow that to happen, plain and simple. The other issue is SOME, and this will shock you, are sent to buy form us to start trouble, .

shocking right, well it happens and has happened for the turbine and the vortex and once again I wont tolerate it.

We sell as many dripomizers as we do clearos, you dont see any threads about those, becuase those dont affect others business. So thats why I have been on troll patrol and will continue to do so.


If a customer has a issue we are here to listen to those issues and beg of them to express them all, but expressing issues and trying to destroy a product in public are 2 different things.

Sabotage?? If this is true that is disgusting!!!! In this industry ecig suppliers have a chance to make a buck as well asa a difference.

Let me say to any out there capable of sabotage ,You should be ashamed of yourself but if you can stoop to this level I'm sure your not.You are in a unique position to HELP people in a mannor that is not only easy but fun and to cheat and sabotage for your own gain takes a good opportunity for all and perverts it and for what? Greed, thats what.

And more importantly, This industry has enough adversaries and to think sabotaging a competitors forum is a good business model makes as much sense cutting off your foot to make yourself lighter so as to run faster. I dont get it.You are in a fight with competing industries and your going to cut down allies in your own??

I would like to see any actions like these brought out into the light. Any supplier taking any sort of action like trying to kill another line doesn't deserve to have the opportunity to be in such a noble and fun industry or it customers.If you cant keep up with Got Vapes than that is your problem. Dont compound your lack of work ethic with lack of ethics in general.

But still,Chris.. cry a river? deleting posts? Keep it all respectful. keep it all open.sabotage should be dealt with where others can see and to delete posts no matter how harsh it may be because "you wont tolerate it" looks shady. A poster should be reasonable and objective but it shouldn't be up to the supplier to decide what is reasonable or objective. Thats a conflict of interests.

Out these losers. For you and for us vapers.

 

[Credo]

I think he's just talking about the ones that are showing photos of 'leaky' stuff and 3 pages of rants about how they got 12 boxes and every one was bad. There's more juice mess in the photo than the carto can even hold, AND the carto is still full.

Kinda makes ya go hmmmmmmmmm. Unless the entire center tube were MISSING...it would take several days of just sitting there to leak that much, and the thing wouldn't still be full!

If I miss the Hilton potty when I tinkle I don't sue the hotel, I own up to it and wipe up my mess...just sayin'.

Don't shoot juice down' the center tube

Always give a precautionary blow through after filling before putting it on a battery...it's very easy to accidentally get a drop or two down the middle. This applies to ALL cartos tho'...so it's not unique to the Vortex.

Some of the stuff around the forums does remind me of the time NBC bashed in dozens of Chevy trucks trying to get them to 'blow up'. One finally did after strapping dozens of explosives to it. All for the camera

@ SMKNOMOR, dannoman, badkolo, and anyone else that took offense to my post;

What do you mean "current lack of customer service, regarding the Turbine and Vortex"?

I can see how picking this statement out of my complete post would be offensive. Let me rephrase this. But at your current lack of handling all members responses professionally, regarding the ......

?keep in mind you are presenting this as fact

When you pick and choose statements from someones post, instead of the over all post, this can create needless problems. In my post I stated:

IMO, you should

, I never stated this was a fact. I stated how I feel about how Dan and Chris addressed some of the member complaints and deleting posts because of how they were worded.

Your statement can appear to some as an attack and prompt a defensive response.

I agree, but again, when you pick and choose statements made within the post, you can change the overall tone of the post.

just as it is rude for that waiter to then tell another customer at another table or the whole restaurant for that matter,that you were crying a river over your dissatisfaction.

Ok, my question is, do you tell the waiter the food was bad and either would like new food politely, or do you get up in the middle of the restaurant and start screaming about how your food was horrible and how your whole world is ending and thats the worst restaurant you ever ate form and start trashing plates everywhere.???

If the waiter got defensive and irate with the customer in the restaurant, now a scene is created. But if the waiter calmly acknowledges the customers complaint and offers a solution that works for both parties, a scene can be averted. If the customer continues to be loud and rude, he is the one that looks bad. In the past I have had to calmly and professionally escort and customer out of the establishment. The business looked good and the customer came off as a lunatic or just a trouble maker. In my post I stated:

There is a proper way to communicate a problem to management that does not put them on the defense. That old saying "you attract more flies with honey than vinegar". Customers work just as hard for their money as you work to earn your money. Sometimes people get frustrated and instead of waiting until they calm down, they convey their experience and disappointment in the current state. Which their current state is not good and words are used that can be offensive to the hard working staff.

@ SMKNOMOR, I am a little fuzzy isn't the following part of a post you recently made?

I've got to say, I'm a little disenfranchised right now.I'm not sure which posts set you off like this or if you are in fact right about the posters being unreasonable or not but to pretty much call your customers cry babies over a product they are dissatisfied with one pack or not I think is a little disappointing to see. I wouldn't have expect this from you. and deleting posts? Unfortunately not all your posters will be reasonable or even mature but unless these posters are being extra unreasonable,derogatory or trying to sabotage,deleting posts looks shady. How are your customers supposed to trust you if it appears you are censoring the criticism in your forum.

The point of this forum is for you interact with customers,present your products and let people to leave their opinions and I understand NOTHING in vaping is fool proof but

I wasn't aware that

SOME, and this will shock you, are sent to buy form us to start trouble,

. If this is the case with some of the members (or trouble makers) complaints, don't stoop to their level. It just doesn't appear professional on your part. I agree with smknomor,

Unfortunately not all your posters will be reasonable or even mature but unless these posters are being extra unreasonable,derogatory or trying to sabotage,deleting posts looks shady. How are your customers supposed to trust you if it appears you are censoring the criticism in your forum.

Do you even know what we are doign behind the scenes?

Listen - we are very very busy and we don't have alot of time to respond to every aspect of every post but believe me, there is no current lack of customer service...

There is no doubt in my mind that you guys are working your hearts out. My issue is with the manor in which complaints are responded to. When someone is posting that they are having an issue with a product, and the response is something to the effect of; no one else, or only a few ECF members are having complaints out of #####, looks like your not acknowledging that they are having a problem and since only a few are complaining, their complaint is not justified. This is just my opinion!

Jeezeum, get a grip, I wasn't looking to start a war! Just expressing my opinion. I said that I gave a glowing review of the Vortex and that Got Vapes had earned the reputation of bring the newest and most innovative products the the vaping community I'm waving a white flag!

 

[daisyd]

Correction. My new PCC came in the mail, and the vortex is just a little too fat for the lid to close. An issue that a metal vortex would fix, so, I wait patiently, twiddling my thumbs, for what I hope will be good news about metal vortexes.

 

[Amy41996]

ooooo boy, i have been satisfied with my experience with gotvapes,,,i have seen problems addressed here and i have seen them addressed. have i had probs,,,minor ones....but because people have posted here, i read and learn and figure it out. If my prob isnt addressed here i will post or if i should have serious problem, i would contact gotvapes directly. just my take. am not getting all this going on maybe cause i am vapin a tad tooo much

 

[Bobbye]

I have also found that if I start to get a slightly burnt taste i can increase the speed of my draw and it will go away. Basically the greater airflow from the heavier draw keeps the coil cooler.

Edit:: The inverse is also true... If not producing enough vapor or flavor I just slow down my draw.

Interesting. I did know from experience that the slower draw would give me more flavor but I have never tried the reverse. On a fully charged 808 battery I've been having a slightly burnt taste -- the fast draw solves that. Before I was just using batteries that I had used for a bit on a regular old fashioned carto.

Thanks!

 

[TexasT]

The lower the ohms the higher the heat. Freshly charged 808 batts are over 4V so add this to a lower ohm carto and you may have too much heat at the coil.

Good info! Thanks bstedh. I'll get an 808 that's been used for an hour or so and try this out.

 

[bstedh]

one freshly cleaned vortex with plumbers tape at the base. freshly filled with gorilla juice. i dont know about you...but the vortex looks sexy in that picture.

How has the plumbers tape held up to use??? I was thinking of trying this as I'm about to clean my first one and want to prevent leaks before they happen. I was also considering a little bit on the inner cup but am worried about the heat in that area.

 

[Credo]

Here's some specs on the P.T.F.E. type tape that many folks keep in their plumbing kits.
Teflon Tape, Teflon Thread Sealant

I doubt the outer base of a Vortex just below the wicks exceeds those temps?
I'll eventually get around to trying it myself.

I have used it on the base of cracked CE2 Clearomizer sleeves and it worked very well...no taste...stopped the leaks

 

[bstedh]

I was thinking that a screw on outer metal body with an O ring would be an ideal compromise on these. Throw in a couple of view windows and you have the best of both worlds and no worries about seals and such. Threading the inner cup wouldn't work of course because of the way the wicking is setup but an O ring there may work also. The tolerances on the O ring would probably have to be very strict to keep the plastic from bowing out however.

Edit:: May need reverse threading to keep it from coming loose so this may not be the best idea but then again the O ring may keep it tight enough that it may not be a worry.

 

[Credo]

Yeah, or just go to a new plastic type (like the stuff they make syringes from). Threads would be nice too...but probably would drive the price up quite a bit (at least in the short run). Threaded metal would require a bit thicker metal...and expensive machines to thread them...etc.

Great ideas tho'...
