Thx for the advice Pete, especially as I read my post and it's confusing (I like the tanks, then...I don't like the tanks, they don't have any flavor). I've burned through atleast 1/2 the tank, just inhaling/exhaling, trying to break it in, starting to taste a smidgett of vanilla, but not much. It was way over with vanilla (my fault, shouldn't of had them add vanilla) with the Go-carts. I'll burn through this tank and report back.

No problem man. The only reason I say to let it sit is because I figured it out by accident. I had gotten a couple of tanks as a bonus when I ordered the Fury battery. I, like you, was not impressed even though I read that a full "run through" was needed to break it in. Well I set the half empty tank aside and filled up a regular cart. The next day, I threw on the tank just for giggles, and low an behold... there was flavor. So, I figured maybe juct letting them sit for a day or over night might be just as effective... if you're so inclined as to use the tanks.

But yeah, let me know how it works out for you!

To add to my above post:

Putting a tank on a Fury battery makes for, like, a 10 inch ecig (measurement not exact). The Fury is too large as it is, imo. It doesnt sit in the pants pocket too comfortably. Hopefully, he'll come out with a Fury "shorty" or something...

My std bat with the Go-carts is 5 1/4", and with the Fury Tank, it's just over 5 7/8", so its definitely longer, by more than 1/2", but that's mostly due to the tip (which I do like the smaller tip vs the larger Go-cart end). I know the Fury battery is longer though.

Yeah, the Fury is just gigantic, imo. Id guess with a regular cart, its about 5 1/2''. With a tank, probably close to 6''. Of course, there is the added bonus you might get from the ladies:

"Hey, is that a Go-Go Fury with a tank in your pocket? Or are you happy to see me?"








Then they find out its just the Go-Go :facepalm:

Does anyone what the PG/VG Ratio is and who makes the juices? I currently have the RY4, USA-Mix, Virginia and 555 in my rotation. Frank is awesome. On my first order he sent an extra pack of tanks and extra juice. My second order he sent extra juice. I just wish he had larger bottles. What are some other favorites?

I believe his juices are 100% PG, and from Kanger. He has Nicquid now that is USA made, but I think thats also 100% PG.

And yes, Frank is good for sending little gifts in the orders. A nicety that most vendors have gotten away from.

As a newby, I probably shouldn't be answering this question, but I've spent a lot of time reading the threads in the E-juice forum lately, and determined there are juices that some love, and others hate, and ect., i.e. just a personal thing. I've only tried 2 that you listed (3 total if you include the prefilled that came with my Optima cigalike, which, tbh, is my fav so far), the US Mix was good (hoping to find something with more flavor though), and the RY4 I ruined with having extra vanilla put in it, so I'm looking for a good daily vape as well. Have MrE's Grey Matter coming in Monday that I'm hoping will do the trick, it has good reviews, supposed to be a Tobacco with alittle vanilla (learned that although I like vanilla, a vanilla only flavor isn't going to get it).

On the Fury tanks I've found that over tightening the drip tip causes the top silicon cup/seal (on the air tube covering the coil) to put too much pressure on the wicks / restricts flow causing a loss of flavor.
The drip tip only needs to be snug enough to prevent leaking, if you experience weak flavor try experimenting with the drip tip tightness.


I cleaned the last 4 new fury tanks before filling / using for the first time, to me it seemed to eliminate or at least significantly reduce the 'first tank break in'.
Filled with PGA let soak for 2 ~ 5 minutes, then a 1 or 2 second dry burn, then a rinse with PGA filling half way and shaking vigorously then empty, let sit until wick appears dry then fill & vape.

That's too funny, and thx for the info, I'll try that on the next one. I've gotten several hits where I've gotten some juice in my mouth (i.e. it leaks off and on) so I'm not real sure about these tanks, but I'm going to keep with them and give them a chance.

I'm just a newbie so my opinion probably doesn't mean much, but I'm not impressed with these Fury tanks, not sure if I want to try one of the other two that came with it or chunk them. As I stated above, the are a few things I like about them, but after vaping a tank and 1/2 last night, and filling it up and letting it soak all night, it still doesn't have much flavor, and the flavor it does have is plastic tasting. I find my opinion strange as all the veterans love these.
I'm going to try cleaning it as topwater advised and see what happens.

Have you tried using something else, maybe a carto, to ensure it's not just "Vaper's Tongue" (temporary loss of taste for vapor)?

What sonic said. I occasionally get vapers tongue if I stay on one flavor too long. I used to switch it up every few tanks to fix it. Now I just keep 2 or 3 devices going at once with three different flavors. Example: right now I've got a tank of copper creek coffee on a fury, a tank of copper creek house blend on a regular gogo, and an evod filled with 'twas brillig on an evod battery. I vape all three here and there.

I've noticed some leaking with the fury tanks but nothing terrible (like when a t3 or nano crap out and cover my hands or pocket with e liquid). I get drops here and there at the battery post sometimes. I especially notice it when I leave them for a while, when I come back to them they have a drop there. When it happens I twist up a corner of a paper towel or napkin and push it up the tube and repeat until it comes back dry.

Also I've noticed with some e liquids I'll see a drop off in flavor or vapor and when I unscrew the drip tip there's juice on top of the silicone thing. Then I tilt it a little so the juice drains back into the tank.

Also don't toss the tanks! I'll trade you for carts if you reall don't want them.

What Coldpunk said. If I lived in the U.S. I'd make the same offer.

Way way back when the Go-Go first came out there was a guy here on ECF who was professionally sitting on the fence trying to figure out if he should go Go-Go or not. I posted that he should take the plunge, buy it, and if he didn't like it I'd buy it from him. Don't know how it turned out but he never contacted me to unload his Go-Go.

I love the tanks and the Go-carts but ease of use means I've got a tank going more often than not. Haven't had to break in a tank, let it sit overnight, or do anything special except keep filling it up over and over and over ... Maybe it's because I'm always vaping 100% PG tobacco juices.

With the Fury I've found I can't turn up the heat like I can with a Go-Cart. Gets too burny burny. But no complaints here. The flavor keeps on happenin'.

The New TOP SECRET HUSH HUSH Go-Go Gear will be announced ... as soon as Frank gets it. I'm sworn to secrecy. I haven't even told my wife. Though I have mentioned the probability of credit card usage around my birthday this month. I have to do something to keep thoughts of mortality at bay.

bobalex this is Frank. I have came down with amnesia and have forgotten what I ordered. So if you could private message me what that was I'd appreciate it. I just use this account so I can check the forum without anyone knowing it's me. Thanks...... I'm waiting.

My excitement for new go go gear is turning into apathy. Plus this quote
The Fury tanks definitely will work with the new Go-go gear coming. I wish that I could provide a definitive ETA on everything right now; however, supplies will be trickling in at different times rather than all together due to some items being being produced to custom specs.
Those specific items now may take up to at least a month to arrive at this point!
has me wondering if the new gogo gear isn't going to be something lame or useless. Like a pcc, lanyard, or pass through for example.

The way ssv2 worded that makes me think that it's not going to be something great to put on a gogo battery, but something our cartos and tanks go on. Maybe a gogo threaded mod that takes 18350/18650's. Or it will be something I don't really care about.

With all these delays maybe they should just announce it, even if its not going to be available for a week or five.
