Will the phoenix take acidic and/or menthol juices? I know the old stardusts use to crack with them.

Wow, there are so many new cartos/tanks dropping my mind is spinning! Anyone just now discovering Gotvapes must be having a really hard time deciding what to order.
If you are looking for a tasty and fiddle free juice delivery device, we dummies are still recommending stardusts, vivi nova and bottom coil phoenix.
I am finally getting a replaceable head stardust (yeah), but will probably not get the newer stuff any time soon. Anyone here ordering the new ones?

Yep! Got just about 1 of everything in my cart, just waiting for late tomorrow night, early wed. morning for money to show up in my bank so I can pull the trigger. 
Guess I'm just toooooooo curious!

I got the vivi mini...in my opinion it is even better than the large vivi. I have some of the shortie cartos in my cart along with another vivi mini. Think the shorties will be good for testing juice and for my bottom feeder.

I'm looking forward to getting those shorty cartos too. I really want them for my iTaste and Briar gave them her endorsement, that's good enough for me to want to try them. Got a bunch of other things, but like I said, I'm just too curious for my good.
Yea, I love new toys and gadgets...it is hard cause I also have limited funds..lol.
I was thinking along the same lines, that they'd be good for juice testing, since I've given up on mastering the art of dripping. But given that they've got filler in them, won't they be a pain to clean and change juices?
I would think they would clean like the boges...a little bit of a hassle but if I liked the juice I would load my bottom feeder and vape til done.
Shorties rock, guys. Just plain rock. No socky taste, and I'm very sensitive to that, to the point where I can't stand the Stallions, and everybody loves those. I'm getting more Shorties shortly. lol The fact that they fit wonderfully under the iTaste cap helps too.
ViVi mini is better than the regular Vivi, flavor-wise, for some strange reason. Love that one too. But look out for the gasket on the bottom - if it's even a little torn, the thing will leak upwards. Yes. Weird. But true. Wish I ordered more than two. (Hey, that rhymes...)
The latest regular Stardust incarnation has me puzzled. I am having nothing but dry hits, and I consider myself somewhat of an expert on those - dunno what the story is. I thought maybe I am not dealing well with long wicks, so I cut them - no diff. Trimmed the hat - no diff. The resistance is right. Coil looks good. Bummer. I'm hoping it's just a couple of duds...
The skull drip tip looks cool (needs jewels in eyes, though - should be easy to do), and is comfortable, but needs a bigger o-ring, it's a bit loose.
Lessee, what else... Just ordered the new SCTs and E1s - so haven't tried them yet. Got a Gripper and a Telescope on the way.
I am womanfully trying to get one of everything. Who needs to eat, right?

Don't give up on dripping - try Dripper's Dream. I was hopeless with dripping, but can do that one. It's easy, I swear.
I've read up on this before, and it seems simple enough while I'm reading it, but never quite get the hang of --
- how many drops to prime
- how many toots between before topping off
- how many drops to top off
Can you explain how you do this Briar?
My experience so far -- apparently I do too many drops to start with, because I always seem to have a gurgly/leaky experience from the start. Then at some point I get a really nasty, seriously gag-inducing dry hit. So I top off and the cycle starts again.
I used about 4 drops to start with... as to how many vapes you get will depend on how you vape... so you'll need to count those to see what you are getting out of it before you put 4 more drips in
that IS a bummer Briar
Mine have been great and I'm going back for more.I've got a gripper in my cart, but do need to at least have some ramen, sooooooo.................that vMax I want will have to wait awhile and I'm trying to hold on to enough to get the ravens, if they finally land
I'm surprised to hear you can top off with as many as 4 drops. I've always read that, initial prime aside, you should add no more than 1 or 2, otherwise you're gonna flood the atty, get leaking, gurgling, juice in mouth, etc. Is the Drippers Dream more tolerant that way?
I tend to vape it until I start getting dry hits, I don't count them... so it can probably take more than if you top off earlier... Either way, this isn't rocket science ... lol. If you put a little too much in and it starts to gurgle, that goes away after a few vapes.
For me... it is perfect to test out new juices... If I like them, I'll put them in a clearo or tank... Dripping for me is only for testing
The Dripper's Dream takes more drops than a regular atty... Especially in the beginning. The way it works for me is 4 drops to prime, and 2 or 3 drops to top off. That's conservative.
I've never counted how many puffs for me, I either vape until I get hints of dry hit, or blow it out. The key is to stop vaping and top off when you first start losing flavor, or flavor is just a smidge off. Don't wait until full-blown dry hit.
The other thing is that it will leak and gurgle a little once in a while for just about anyone - that's why people use drip shields.

Well, I got one of them working good - as long as I hold it horizontally. The other one is a total dud. Now that I think about it, I tried long wicks once before - and also got dry hits. I don't like long wicks, and they don't like me.
