I got my Cyclone tank today!!!! Holy Vapor !!! Batman.... I got a little concerned because the carto's that came with the 2 tanks didn't touch the battery, but I lifted the center of the battery with a paper clip.. Problem solved :)
This mod is a must have for the Go-Go... I am one happy camper, the taste and vapor production is unbelievable..
Chopper was kind enough to give me samples of his juice too. I haven't tried them yet, I wanted to let them steep for a week or so, but the smell is unreal!!! The two flavors I got, are Fruit Stripe Gum and Cinnamint chocolate chip both in 18mg. I will give a detailed review after they steep for a week.
Chopper thanks again for the tanks and all the freebies.

Hey Chopper,

Finally had to put down the tank. 8 days and approx 30 ml of juice put thru it before the carto didnt want to give a satisfactory vape anymore :)

Considering I have never gotten one of my carto's to go past 4 days, I'd call that a winner!! :)

Just wanted to let you know ... I am saving the second carto you cut for me for the improved tank..... I am missing my tank already LOL

Ok... Remember how I said I was taking my Cyclone with me to shop for clothes for school?
Here's an obvious head's up, don't leave it the car! I didn't even think, left my go-go sit and when we came back
out of the mall, I realized I had not only left it sit in the hot car, but it was in direct sunlight to boot.

I was certain I had just killed my neato cool tank.
I had both batteries with me, cause I'm still "testing the differences" between the Cyclone Tank and the go-cart alone.
The go-cart alone was fine, but it only had so much juice in it. It was warm, but no leaks.

The Tank.... the tank was fine. The clear plastic was a little softer to the touch. And I touched it all over in search of injuries.
The cart inside though, that had leaked. All down the battery. I believe I had said I was using 100% vg, but the heat (I'm guessing) had a thinning effect on that thick liquid and whatever was in the cart had leaked out. Of course, the tank was doing it's job keeping it full, so more leaked out. It was a mess.

The tank is fine though. Still works the way it's supposed to.

I had come on here looking for a way to clean it, and thought I would change the juice since I had to clean the mess up anyway.
What I did, and Chopper please correct me if I'm wrong here, was:

1. I pulled the plastic plug out of the side and drained the remaining juice back into the bottle.
Still tasted just fine, and I'm cheap, didn't want to waste it. I did "waste" what was left in the cart.

2. I ran some VERY hot water through the whole thing. Clear plastic, the cart, and the side plug.
Blew out the cart, ran hot water. Repeated about 3 or 4 times.

3. Wiped off the battery and battery end with an alcohol wipe. It was all slimy gooey.
I have bunches of those lens wipes, we all wear glasses, and they are basically alcohol wipes with a fancy name.

4. Dried everything off best I could with paper towels. Blew through the cart a few more times.
I did NOT do any kind of dry burn. Still don't know that I know how to do that, that's a whole 'nother thread.

5. Filled the tank with a different juice. Cherry Lime Aid, 50/50 mix. Took a LOT less time for it to fill the cart.

6. Screwed it back on the battery, and everything seems fine and hunky dory.

So, lesson learned. Won't do that again. But, my neato cool tank survived and is still working like a champ.

Other than the "emergency flush out" I did this afternoon, is there a cleaning method that is recommended and I missed somewhere?

Sorry to hear about your mess.Yep heat will do that make the thickest of stuff thinner.I think how you cleaned is just fine.I do the same thing.I just wash mine out every time I change juice or like every third tank full if using the same juice repeatedly.I try and take mine with me if I know I will be gone from the car for a long time.Can't say Ive had happen to me as you have and I hope I never do lol.I don't mind making a mess,it's the cleaning up of it that I hate.Said with a grin on my face.Heated juice will absorb into the poly fill at a way faster rate,more then what the poly can handle.So it will leak out the air shaft and onto your battery.

OK, not gonna try to figure out how that would seal on the hole... I have some old ego carts that have plastic mouthpieces, but I thought it wouldn't seal unless it was rubber. Hmmmm

It actually seals like a charm.Pops in and out like no ones business.I use it on mine and Ive never had it leak one time.

The tank idea is def interesting, but I gotta admit, it makes a real Frankenstien looking device. Scares vanilla people away! The one thing about the GoGo and eGo is the brilliant design and form factor that Mik over at Janty created (props to Mik for innovative design!!!) What would be awesome is a tank system like this that maybe holds less juice, but fits in, or looks like the cone. That way you could maintain the great look of the design and have the features this tank system provides.

Anyone want to try and tackle that one????

Already working on that as we speak.It just takes time and testing but hopefully it will come together soon.

Go-goUSA.com is a new vendor for Go-Go products and juices in volume, along with unflavored juice, PG & VG also. Eric is the owner and went out of his way to help me out with a faulty charger I received from another Go-Go provider (rhymes with CigBreasy). Even though I didn't purchase my Go-Go setup from Eric, he is sending me a replacement at no charge along with the juice I just ordered from him. The vendor I purchased the Go-Go from sent along instructions for troubleshooting, which I tried and the charger still didn't work so I had to contact their “tech support”. Their response to me was that since I had manipulated the device without being on the phone with them, my guarantee was void. Why would they even include the troubleshooting instructions unless they were having a lot a problems with the chargers? Why send instructions if we aren't supposed to try them? Guess who will be getting my future Go-Go/supply orders? Won't be CigBreasy!. They should have offered to just replace the defective item in the first place. Just goes to show the difference in different companies.

In response to adding vendors to the main page of the thread. I have nothing against other vendors, however, I came across a PV that came in the exact same package as a Go Go all the way down to actually having the same threads, look, cone and everything else. When it was dissected it had a different set of internal wiring, chip, button actuator, everything in it was substandard compared to the ones sold at Cigeasy and NHaler. It also did not deliver the exact same vapor production and measured at exactly 3.7 volts unloaded right off the charger, which the Go Go I own from one of the Vendors listed measures at 4.2 Volts unloaded when it comes off the charger. I have come to realize that bashing a vendor here is not going to undermine their already very loyal customer base, nor does it do anything at all except relieve the stress of the person doing the bashing. If a Vendor can produce Proof Positive that the Go Go they are selling is in fact made to the same exact and precise specifications as the one I own, I will be more than happy to post them up on the main page.

The problem does not lie with any of the vendors, the problem lies with the manufacturers in China pawning off any spare parts they can throw together and make work and labeling it with the name of the most popular name on the American market. That is how they make their money. The two vendors listed here have already made it perfectly clear to the manufacturer that they will not accept anything that is not made to their specifications.


Wow, wrote a novel there, sorry about the long read :( but I wanted to make sure that every understood the real reason behind only having those two vendors listed.

Got my tank from chopper... must say it's made my go-go that much better. Took it to a show my band was playing last night and it worked for 4 hours flawlessly while I was on stage. Usually I have to take quick drags between songs and I never seem to get enough vapor... the tank from chopper really hit the spot. I have only had it fill it up once and it really seems to be conserving my juice, maybe it's just my imagination but the vapor from the go-go seems to be less "dry" if that makes sense. I love it. Thanks chopper!

I'm glad to hear that Chris.Ive also noticed my throat does not seem to dry that fast with the tank as it does without it.Who knows maybe its all in my mind lol.

I've bought Go-Go batteries from Cigeasy, Nhaler and Go-goUSA and they all measure 4.2 V off the charger.

Go-goUSA is a smaller company, but the service and prices are great. Eric has a lot of happy, repeat customers, and I'm one of them. Go-goUSA is the real deal as far as I know, and his prices are MUCH better than Cigeasy or Nhaler. I personally think that Go-goUSA should be listed as a legitimate vendor. If there is any question about his products being authentic, there has been no hint of that.

Just got some of the Chopper/Cyclone Tanks and boy are they great. Filled up two of them and they produce great Flavor/Vapor. No leaks and work just as advertised. These things are winners and well worth whatever he charges for them. I tried them on a gogo and they worked great. Then,(surprise-surprise) I tried them on a KGO1100 with a 510 to gogo adapter. I actually think the cyclone tank on the KGO hits a little better but I'll have to use these a little more to be sure.
Great job Chopper!!!!! You are the man. Even though you deny it......You are the man. This should be voted "GoGo Product of the Year".
