The carts will be standard 801 carts im afraid.

While i do like the idea of bigger carts, its just not something thats working reliably yet! =/

And thank you all for the comments - i gotta admit i was a bit scared you might not like it.. i mean .. afterall it doesnt even have an mp3 player.

:oops:

Hey, I like the look of it, and the bigger battery is most welcome :)

Regarding bigger carts, it's my experience that the 601 pipe from sailebao and an electronic cigar I once had, both were the best devices I have had for emptying carts, not a drop left after use. I never had such good performance in that regard with any of the other devices I have tried, including the Janty Stick, which is my favourite device at the moment.

Just a pity that the pipe and cigar atomizers didn't last more than a week. They didn't break down, but the amount of vapor and throat kick was reduced so much that they wasn't good enough for me.

just my 2 cents, and a little hope that you will try the route of bigger carts in the near future ;)

somewhere out there......
What would be really cool is if the Baby J had a cover similar to a fountain pen. That way you could easily carry the thing without any special holder or a bag. When you want to vape, you simply take the cover off. When you are done, put the cover back and your PV is now completely protected.

now that would be bad ............ the top would be the cover over the carts( no leaking liquid and no need for a case) that is simply bad ...........

Except for the production cost, - how it would always catch hairs, and stuff from when you had it in your pockets and so on.

A design as that is often beautiful but not always practical from an economic viewpoint - or an everyday use one!

Hey guys ( and girls )

Im happy to tell you that im waiting for the Baby J + Ego to land on my desk here, and once they do i will do a sneak preview of both of them.

So far the plan is for the Ego to be released shortly ( maybe within this month ) and for the Baby J to come out in december.

I will be back with more! - and hopefully soon ( It could land here tomorrow ) !!

Mik, what do you mean by catching hairs? I have one of the other mods for which I found round plastic toothbrush case that fits the PV like a glove -- the body of the PV fits in the bottom part of the case leaving the atomizer exposed. When I screw in the top part of the toothbrush case, the whole unit is covered. The problem is that the top part of the case is much longer than needed, so the closed case is much much longer than needed to hold the PV. But otherwise it works perfectly. But it is almost impossible to find a toothbrush case of the perfect size, that would fit snuggly around the PV.

Also, my father used fountain pen and always carried it covered in his pocket -- not to protect his pocket from ink, but rather to protect the delicate mechanism of the pen tip. He never ever had a problem with the pen getting dirty.

You do realize that there is only two days left in "this month", right?

It would be nice if it was introduced tomorrow or Saturday, but I have a feeling you meant next month. :)

Can't wait to see what you have to show us on these models. Should be nice.

A hair is very very small, and can easily creep into anything - so if you have something like the design of that fountain pen it would rip clothes (maybe not even visibly) and those hairs would almost certainly get into your atomizer somehow.

And we all know how that tastes. ;)

But, the design of the Baby J and the whole "idea" of it, is for home use, or leisure - meaning like you would use a cigar for instance. Its not meant to be carried around everywhere you go ( allthough i will do just that ).

We might do some stuff for it later, in terms of accessories, but right now we have to just get it out there. ;)

Are you guys ready for this?

A week before my Janty liquid ran out I did some more research to see what else is out there and I saw people recommending TW’s eliquid so I ordered the following from Totally Wicked USA:

One Platinum Ice E.Liquid Mixing Kit at $74.99
One 510 TITAN Electronic Cigarette-Mega Power Manual Battery at $19.99
One 510 TITAN Electronic Cigarette-Atomizers at $14.99

Order number: 319558
Post Office tracking number: 4209 5117 9101 8052 1390 7867 2080 72

The total came out to $108.72 after all the charges. I would say this is a pretty good size order especially for a new customer. I waited with excitement to try my new mega battery and mostly the liquid. I kept checking the status of my order every day. After about 2 weeks I sent an email to TW’s UK and US locations to see where my order is. The emails went unanswered. I finally started calling the post office. The package was apparently lost/misplaced in shipping and they could not find it. Next I called TW and spoke to Amanda. She explained their policy to me which basically comes down to this:

First I have to wait for 28 days for them to determine what happened to the package. Next they will decide what to do. Then, if they consider replacing the order with a new one, I would of course have to wait again to receive it.

This comes down to a waiting period of about a month and a half from the time of my original order and full payment. She also said she will look into it and will call me back which wasn’t very helpful but to be fair I’m sure she only works there and has to do what she’s told.

The next day I received a phone call from a British woman whom apparently was the manager. She was very rude and confrontational. She kept cutting me off and became totally annoyed when I decided not to let her cut me off and to continue my sentences and finishing them. She then started to raise her voice so I did the same which resulted in a shouting match and her asking me not to shout. What totally set her off is when I asked her why I should have to pay and be out of my money for this mishap. After all, I’m just a customer who has ordered and paid in full and I just want my product or money. I don’t care whether the package was lost, destroyed, flew away, or was chewed by a dog. She kept cutting me off and repeating herself, cutting me off and repeating herself, cutting me off and repeating herself, cutting me off and repeating herself, cutting me off and repeating herself, cutting me off and repeating herself. If you think reading this was annoying imagine actually experiencing it. She wouldn’t let me get a word in edgewise and kept telling me that this is their policy and this is the way it is and I’d have to deal with it as if this was the law of the land.

She could have very easily resolved or remedied the situation by at the very least being a little polite and/or helpful and not cutting me off in the middle of my sentences every time and acting like I owe her something. Yet she chose to escalate the situation. Again, this is a case of a NEW customer who has ordered and PAID IN FULL and has WAITED FOR 17 DAYS so far to receive their product (or should I say 20 days since today is Friday and nothing will happen during the weekend). Needless to say I’m back on analogs since I didn’t get my liquid.

Any self respecting company would have apologized, reshipped the product, and dealt with the post office directly and on their own to keep the customer happy, or at least treat a new paying customer a little better instead of throwing their pitbull at him and FORCING him to wait for a month and a half to have either his money or product. Dealing with Totally Wicked USA branch and the British pitbull woman who called me has left me feeling frustrated, disgusted, annoyed, insulted, and cheated. This is something I didn’t need in my life. Apparently they don’t need new business.

Some people will probably respond to this by saying TW is great and they always got their shipment on time and without any trouble. Getting paid and shipping a product to a customer is something any company can and must do but customer service and the way customers are treated in times of trouble or situations such as this is what builds a reputation for a company. I don’t know about you guys but with this tough economy and disappearing sales there are merchants out there that bend over backwards to please the customer instead of attacking them. Totally Wicked USA will not get my business again and I hope my experience warns others as to what may be in store for them should they experience a problem with their package or need customer service.

To top it off and make it even worse, they keep deleting my thread and all of its replies from their section. What does that say about a company?

I should’ve just stuck to my honeydew flavor eliquid from Janty. I highly recommend that flavor and it seems to be my favorite so far. 5 of my friends and family members have already started vaping since they tried my ecigs. Guess what company I will warn them against and which one I’ll recommend.

I say, 2 wrongs don't make a right...... When you shouted, you escalated the problem..... I don't know what happened, because I wasn't there...... However, when I am complaigning to a merchant, I just let them say whatever they want to...... When they are all done, then I make my point.....
I have dealt with Totally Wicked and have ordered probably about 700 USD products from them...... Have dealt with Amanda and she has always been nice to me..... One time they sent the wrong product to me, immediately sent me the correct order and let me keep the incorrect order...... TW has alaways been more than nice to me.......
Just maybe, 2 parties were having a bad hair day, further upsetting each other and escalating a bad situation...... Just my opinion........
