Surely someone (definately resellers) has tried these even though they just came out.

Any reviews? I have only found one and that was on a Dutch forum; guy said make sure to sit for 10 mins after filling to wick properly, not to overfil and that the taste was great no burning or plastic taste.

Thx!

A friend just dropped by with one of these to try…First impressions…It’s big…with the rubberized(?) tip attached it’s about the size of an eGo pass-through battery..It’s heavy…It looks pretty well made….and holds a lot of juice…Blew it out…didn’t seem to have any primer residue…Smooth, easy draw…So far the flavor is very muted…but I just filled it and started vaping…The eGo tank produced better flavor for me right out of the chute …but that didn’t last very long and I quit on them after 3 atomizers performed sub-par….I’m heading out with it now and will give it a chance to "break in"…Will report back later…

Here's my very crude review...I just copied it from the eGo sub forum...Pay me and I'll do better...lol

Well I just got back from the casino…and while I didn’t lose my shirt…I did lose a part of my Giantomizer…Yup..I lost the tip of it…The tip is…for sort of like a rubber nipple that sets inside the Giantomizer…While it fits tight..the problem is it doesn’t seat very far inside the chamber… I noticed it get off- kilter a few times…but some time when I wasn’t paying attention it jumped ship…and was nowhere to be found…I’m sure as I type this…it’s being ground into the plush carpeting at the Mohegan Sun…Might be a problem for those of us that treat our e-cigs like tiny batons…:)

I preface this with my mundane vaping "habit"…I normally use regular eGo batteries and pass throughs topped off with genuine Joytech cartomizers…I mainly vape only 1 juice…100% PG coffee flavor from AV…I don’t bother with cleaning the cartomizers…I use it, refill it and throw it away when the performance drops off…For me….usually about 2 days…Anyhoo…

The flavor using the Giantomizer finally did start to pick up and become "acceptable"…nothing to knock my socks off…not bad…but not on par with my normal cartos…(I carried my regular setup with me and switched over every now and then to check the difference…It never leaked a drop…and doesn’t seem to be a juice hog…Unfortunately…it never did get any better from there…The flavor began to drop off and the draw tightened up a bit…’Course a lot of this might just be my coffee juice slowly working it’s "special" magic on the atomizer…I probably vaped through about 2/3 of the tank and on the way home switched back to my normal setup…..

Maybe with another power source there could be some improvement with these.. As far as cleaning the thing….I don’t know how you would it…the tank doesn’t seem to be removable from the atomizer…but it’s kind of hard to see what’s up inside and I didn’t fuss with it…

The Giantomizer…to me anyway…performs like the eGo tank system….that holds a lot more juice…I never got my tank system to perform to my satisfaction…but lots of others seem to have…I figure this system will probably end up being the same way …great for some and unacceptable for others…

So..to summarize… I probably haven’t helped any of you one bit….:laugh:

I got a 3 pack of giantomizers the other day. The first one had a leaky window and the second one seems to have minor wicking issues. I'm going to give it a few months for the US vendors to get rid of this batch and receive the V2 of them. I do like them but, I wanted something I don't have to mod. Sigh. They are giant, hence the name.

I've only been using the second one for about an hour. Seems to be getting a little better with wicking as I use it. I've been puffing so much that I need a break so... We'll see.

As far as using them on other batteries or mods it seems like you can just cut (dremmel) the ego threaded part off leaving a flat surface with a 510 connection but I haven't tried yet.

I posted this in another thread but here:

OK... So now the 2 I have that don't leak are working great! Seems like I just need to draw (hit) them harder than the 3.0-3.2 ohm cartos so it doesn't scorch the juice. They just run too hot on an ego. They work flawlessly when the battery begins to run low. I really do like them after the break in period is over. When they begin to run low on juice just like the ce2's I need to tilt the ego up while hitting in order to keep the wick wet or they run dry but, this is only when they are very low on juice. I hate the company that makes these. I am very biased and I still like this product. I will probably wait until the leaky window issue is fixed to order more. From the info I got there already is a v2 of these and that is what is being shipped but I really don't believe a word that this company ever says.

Really what it comes down to is: If the window doesn't leak you need to get past the break-in period and they are fine. The draw is a little restricted but that is easily fixed with a file or a small drill. So in conclusion I give these a 7/10 because of the leaky window. If that issue is fixed I would up it to a 9/10
