My friend ordered 2 of them. One for him and one for his dad and he put them both in the classifieds the very same day he got them in the mail. He was completely dissapointed with everything about them.
Wow, so he didn't even attempt to break them in first? I had mine producing great vape by day 2 and the flavor was pretty great from day 1. All they take is a little figuring out, but I swear they aren't rocket science.

I'm beginning to love mine now as well. Way psyched!!! :D
My only issue now is I don't think I have pumping the bottle quite down yet. I have to really push down on it hard & still get a burnt taste. Almost looks like juice isn't moving up the straw when I forcefully pump it.
Also, any juice I put into the bottle has a significantly altered flavor & smell after a day or so of being in there. I again suppose its a matter of breaking it in, but I'm throwing away expensive juice like there's no tomorrow in the process. It is significantly better after a couple of days though & I imagine it'll continue to improve with passing days/weeks.

I got mine yesterday. I know a day is not really enough time to evaluate a product but my first impressions of it, is that its homemade and it shows it. Not much in the way of spit and polish to it.

As that may not be a concern to most I do like a good looking product. I just don't find it attractive.

I charged the batteries on it and tried it this morning, the only thing I can say is the TH on this thing is brutal. I vape 24 mg and I can take a pretty strong TH but this thing had me in coughing fits. Got me a bit scared to use it now.

The taste is off, but that's due to the atty being broken in. It has that new atty taste which is kinda funky tasting.

I haven't had a problem with it flooding. I just followed Carlo's instructions and push it like I would a door bell, and that has worked.

I'm still on the fence about it, after about a week I should have a better idea as to if it's a keeper.

Got mine yesterday as well, Yes it's not well finished or even nice looking but its about what I was expecting from the videos and pics that are out there.
I'm not ready to put a vote down but dang this thing functions good. I have not had any trouble flooding but it did taste bad at first but that's going away. I have purposely flooded it 2-3 times and that seem to help clearing out that funky taste. The vapor is great and if the TH gets harsh I just pump the bottle once and it's good to go.
Going to keep using it but also going to keep an eye out for a nice box to re-locate the guts to.

My juicebox order may <knocks on wood> ship here in about a week. A few people have recently posted on the juice box fans forum stating that they've had to return their units due to malfunctions; others have complained of shoddy workmanship.

Just to see if there's a vast, silent majority, who are completely satisfied with their carlos juice boxes, I'm slipping in this poll.

Please answer only if you've got a carlos juice box. Thanks.

If your gonna get a mod, get a real mod that performs and is well built, like the SB or The Chuck. None of this homemade plastic ...... I have tried a lot of mods and this was one of them. I used it for a month to work out all the kinks and still hated it. It looks like something my 2 year old built while she was blind folded in the dark. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY UNLESS YOU LIKE A PLASTIC PIECE OF SHI*T, THAT WILL BRAKE WHEN DROPED. GET A REAL MOD, BUILD A REAL MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!:evil:

I'm liking mine more and more I can't beat the vapor or taste
I've learned to clean it fairly often
the juice in the bottle is staying cleaner too
I've also thinned my VG down some more it seemed to help
I want another one :p
Just what conrad said +1.
I made some more upgrade requests to Carlos so I'm back on the waiting list for a little longer but I know I'll be very happy with my JB3TL :rolleyes:.
