Fellow GO GO'er in need of some help.I fear my one and only GO GO battery is dying.It barely hits anymore,meaning its lacking the power to fire the carto.As I'm on a very tight budget with all the health issues and such.Would anyone have a spare battery that has some life left that would trade it for a tank with a drip tip?I just need one to get me by for a few weeks.Not asking for a hand out,just a helping hand,thanks.

Working on something. Stay tuned...

Urge needs some help folks.He has one of the cyclone tanks that I make and last night he said it hit just fine,good vapor,good flavor.This morning when he went to use it he said it would hardly produce vapor and was a weak hit.Ive tried to help him as much as I could in PM's back and forth to each other.It sounds to me the carto is not wicking.I had him try some drops down in the top of the carto and he said it would hit okay then.After that it would hardly hit again like its not getting any juice into the carto.So if anyone else has been through this and found a solution,would you please help him out.He is having such a ruff time with it.

Chopper, that sounds like the problem I had with the gold cartos, the ones with the battery connection that has a gold tint to them. Could he possibly have one of those cartos?


No he has the silver band as he just bought the tank not long ago.A few days maybe.

Hi, I just got Chopper's Cyclone tank yesterday. It was AWESOME last night but today-no joy. We tried everything, Chopper you da man! Thanks for trying. I believe Chopper nailed it, I just got unlucky and got a bad carto. Fortunately, today I also got an aluminum tube per Kobudo's suggestion on page 202 of this thread post 2018 and using the tutorial by mohawkx I rebuilt my first carto. It works great(unfortunately way better than Chopper's tank). I only bought the one tank and no replacement cartos so I only have one option until I get more stainless cartos for the Cyclone. Well, at least I had a taste of heaven last night. Sounds vaguely like an old Meatloaf song eh?

Chopper, its just a thought, but I've noticed on mine that pieces of the rubber stopper have been coming off and floating in the juice. I was wondering if some of the pieces might have come off and plugged up the two openings?

Pieces coming off really?I haven't seen or heard of that happening yet.Do you take it apart a lot?I'm just guessing here but maybe if you do take it apart a lot to clean or something.Maybe the sides of the tube are cutting or should I say shaving some of the rubber as you put them back into the tube.Ive got my old trusty and it shows no sign of what you are saying.I don't take mine apart to clean.I just push out the carto and rinse it out real good.I seldom ever remove the stoppers.Then I just replace the carto by popping it back thru the holes.And BINGO a fresh washed tank.

No reason you can't take the carto that came with the chopper tank apart and rebuild it. At least you'll be able to tell us all what the initial problem was and increase the knowledge base of gogo nation. :) Perhaps once you dismantle it and dry burn the coil you'll be able to reinsert the filler properly and get it to work.

Chopper, mine works great despite the tiny pieces. I've refilled it 5 times and its possible that I may have pushed the stopper in at a bad angle or something. More than likely the cause is my clumsiness. :blush: I like your cleaning method and I'll start doing that. Thanks for all the help!

I dunno, maybe the fact that it's always drenched will make it go longer. It seems to be nearly as good as day 1. We'll see!

Ive gotten 2 weeks out of one.Long as you don't use thick dark juice it should have a good life span for a carto.Juice that has been sweetened may cut the time as well.
