Wow. I am LOVING this tank! Every hit is like the first hit from a prefilled. Full smoke and flavor. I had gone up to 24mg, I think I should go back down to 18mg now. These full, smoke-filled hits every time are amazing!
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?
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
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.
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.
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 readbut I wanted to make sure that every understood the real reason behind only having those two vendors listed.

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