I am pretty new to cartos and recently purchased some IKV 510 Cartomizer Drip-Style and some of your Premium IKV 510 Cartomizer (Soft Tip) Gold during your cyber Monday sale. I must say, I love the the Premium IKV's but the the Drip-Styles taste worse than anything I have ever tasted before! Is here anything I can do to get rid of the nastiness? FYI, I am an eGo vaper.



Anyone care to respond?

I have never heard of this problem from anyone and I don't know what to tell you. They don't have primer in them so it can't be that. Maybe Iken or Switched will know. How much juice are you putting in them?

Thanks for trying. I am liking the Premium cartos, a lot! Just not the drip style.

Well 3 out of 3 without a problem, so I do not know what to say. I do no promote this site, I just say it as it is. The 510 dripper has to be the cleanest carto out there. I am flabbergasted. I am one fussy SOB, perhaps a Chicago based vendor might suit your needs, but I seriously doubt it? For get the drip tip attribute, that is window dressing..If you can find me a carto that equates this one, I would honestly like to hear about. As, you, I am still searching for Nirvana and my way to heaven.

Hi Shel,
Take Switcher's post for example. He prefers the cooler, more flavorful and high vapor over actual feel (TH, Throat hit) So he uses an XHV that's recommended for 7+V just fine on 6V, or the 3.5Ω on 5V because that's his personal bliss that drives his love for vaping. I would suggest just to try things out....

Thanks for the info, very helpful!

I went to your site, and it seems you're out of stock of 3.5 510's... also couldn't find an "Add to Cart" button for the 2.5ohm 510's... so I figure you're out of those, as well.

Any idea when you'll have 'em in stock?

Thanks again!

Shel

I'm sorry BEFREE! I totally missed you!
All 3 came out this way??? Those odds are heavy with a capital H.
May I ask your unit and applied voltage?

I am using an eGo 3.7v

I'd also like to add that being 3 out of 3, I can see the possibility of user error on my part which is why I am wondering what I may be doing wrong. I have read loads of good reviews on these and was floored by my experience.

Honestly CouldB, I just dont really understand it either. Usually I just 10 or so drops off the bat and let sit for a few minutes for the juice to get in nice an deep where it needs to be then vape away. I really don't want you walking away with a sour taste, so when I get more in (The order has been placed on the 26th and a shipping notice should be arriving in just a day or two) I'll send you out 3 more. Can you shoot me an email so I know who you are please?

That would be great. Thank you so much. I'll shoot a PM out to you now if that'll be ok.

Hi Isaac,

The ikenvape.com site is showing really slow page load times (about 25 seconds) today :(

There are multiple <html> elements in each page being delivered to my browser, I just counted 47 of them in the 'all cartos' page. The same number in the 'all attys' page. Don't know if that's the source of the slowness or not... but the repeated <html> tags is definitely a bug.

There is some other repeated'ness elsewhere as well...

It was slow enough that I tried to place an order last night, and there was a crash upon checkout. The items were still showing in my basket, but using a PayPal Mastercard Debit card, the funds were taken from my PayPal account right away.

I contacted IkenVape, the error was caught, and I was issued a full refund... The thing is.. Since it was $$ taken from my PP account, and not immediately credited, (Could take up to a week) I was lacking the funds to duplicate the order, and had to settle for what I could, instead of what I ordered. If it wasn't for the amount of $$ I had in PP at the time, I may not have been able to put an order in at all... :(

I am aware this is not Isaac's fault, but... I am just posting how it was. I am currently waiting for the $$ from the original order to be credited back to my PP account to have access to it again. This was not a credit purchase.. I am out funds that I DID have in PP at the time.

I LOVE the products that IkenVape offers... I will continue to order.. I only wish I could have gotten everything I originally wanted. I even had more $$ in my PP account from an item I sold on the classifieds.. I wanted that amount merged with the original IkenVape refund to place a larger order.. It didn't happen that way, and the items I wanted will more than likely be out of stock before the original botched order credit is back in my PP account..

Ya he knows about it and is trying to get it fixed. I usually get my money back pretty quick.
