GotVapes PHOENiX RAVENS

[SueL]

Another experience here.

Just received two 3.5 ml ravens and one 5 ml with four replacement cartos. Filled all three after giving them a bath. One each with gotvapes lasso, hush, and dream scape 70/30 pg/vg. First few hits great and then no matter what I do awful dry hits. Seem to be getting worse the more I use them even if I let them sit for minutes in between use now.

Definitely not usable. Very disappointed. Good thing I also ordered another viva nova 2.5.

Ok, Been using mine for about 2 hours now. When I first opened the package it was Primer city, the stuff was everywhere; this is not a complaint just an observation. Upon filling and taking a few primer puffs then trying to vape i only got a tad bit of flavor then dry hit after dry hit. I can honestly and confidently say that the design of this is not right. I dont think anyone can claim that this was intended. There is no vaccum effect to prime the coil. The air draw is on the extremely airy side. There is very little air resistance at all.

I am very disappointed in the performance of this unit. There are no positive things to say at all about it IMO. I would ask the supplier for all your money back on this one. I am very confident that this was a mistake and they are trying to save face and cover it up.

Gotvapes is still a great vendor who I will always trust. The problem here is with their supplier. I am sure they will make this right for us

I received mine today. Out of box I filled with 18mg GV liqua berry at 3.7v.
I have went thru one full tank and am getting ready to fill it up again.
To be honest I have no complaints. Works well, great vapor and TH and no dry hits at all.

I am no expert, but if the center post and top seal were there a vacuum would be created not allowing the juice to flow into the slots.
I like it so far, seems the same as the phoenix BC that I have been using since they came out.

I am using 100 percent VG but I also tried All PG juice and only got dry hit after dry hit. I tried it from 3.2 up to about 4.5 volts. I am getting nothing but very bad performance from this unit. What do you normally use to vape?

Feel free to take mine off my hands too

I buy the GV liqua line, and tribeca made by another supplier.
I vape at 3.7v all the time.
I have tried the flux juices, but they do not give me the TH I need.
I have been tobacco free for almost 2 years now and I have many PV's from provari's, silver bullets, and many colored ego's just to name a few.

You seem to have an oddity, one that works while everyone else has been having trouble. May I suggest you try a new cartomizer but before you install it compare it to the one that works to see if you can see any differences between the two.

 

[mikecup]

Ya maybe I'm lucky!
I filled the second time using the GV funnel, wow that funnel works great.

 

[kwcharlie]

Mine still OK with PG but went to a 3ml PHx packing for a W TX trip, won't be taking them with me, NOT that OK.
I'll test more when back, or not. IF COULD JUST ENLARGE THE HOLE

What I want to know is......how is everyone liking their candy?????

 

[Jingles]

My Ravens didn't show up today. I guess they'll be here tomorrow. I'll just continue to read everyone else's reports (and wait for my candy)!

 

[harleydiva]

I didn't get any candy.....the dry hits would have been more tolerable with candy to kill the taste....lol.

Hang in there Dan and Chris....we are having a bad day.....but not nearly as bad as you are I'm sure....

Well, drats!! I was hoping for sure I could raise some exceptional reviews on the yummy goodness of candy

 

[wwturner]

I opened just 1 of the 5 I bought. Filled it halfway with Berry Blue Bacco (Which I LOVE by the way). Got maybe 3 good tasty hits. Many more dry ones I'm gonna start sounding like a dang bullfrog! Danno, you guys need to release the Kracken on their sorry butts for deliberately messing these up like they did.

 

[kwcharlie]

it will be a good month if this is their biggest problem, only one day of shipping to clean-up, bet the redo of the telescoping PV's was bigger in time and $ for them, but NO candy, THAT'S NOT RIGHT

 

[wwturner]

I got candy. Gotta say that even the candy Vapes better than these Chinese travesties today 8-(

OK, got my 2 Ravens in the mail 1/2 hour ago. I filled one up, waited a minute or 2 and I'm getting tons of vapor, but a burned taste. It's not just me, Mike is trying it too. So, I let it sit for 5 minutes or so and it's even worse. Ah rats.

If I take the tip off and drip directly into the tube it's fine. There's 2 air holes and they certainly look big enough, but if I just suck air I should see air bubbles and there aren't any.

Mike was just noticing how loose the tank is on the tube, it slides up and down very easily, so it could be that I'm just sucking air - there's no seal to create a vacuum in there to pull the juice in. So how come I'm getting vapor?

In the video, when the tube is pushed back into place there's supposed to be a click, but I didn't hear one. The flange is tight up against the bottom so there's nowhere for it to go.

Mike just put a different dct tank on it with a tighter fit and it still tastes burned. He says it's like going out to a nice restaurant and getting a bad dinner.

I just put another 4 (total 12+) drops down the center and it does seem to be working better, but the replacement dct tank is still on it. Now I feel bad that I talked these up to people, but I thought this was going to be my go to device for bottom coil happiness.

ANYONE tried taking the tube off without destroying it like i did? It's a nice cup/wick/coil and none are too far down, if that tube could be rotated and moved up/down on the ring the hole could be adjusted. From the shape of it, and being 2/3 covered by the ring, looks like that's what they were thinking but then pressed it all together so it can't be moved
