With nothing left to lose on these, I dry burned it to heck (4.5 minutes! pretty hefty, but not recommended) and it still tasted burnt. I then tried adjusting the wick with a pin and the whole wick popped out. I inserted a small stub of PTB into the wick hole and put the tank on and WOW! TONS of vapor and perfect flavor. No leaks after 24 hours. I'll try another batch of these to see if the ones I got were just duds, but with one minor mod I can chain vape to my heart's content. I'm going to buy more to see if this mod is a fluke or whether it really unleashes the potential of these for chain vapers like myself.
I'm sorry, I didn't see this posting...My bad. Should've chosen a better wording. My apologies.
I'm reordering and will look into this method. Not the loooooong dry burn but the PTB (already popped an addy). Any particular brand of tea bag to use? I've never actually used that mod.
Lipton Pyramid Tea. It's the only one I know of that works for e-cig mods.
And no to the long dry burn. Bad idea. I was just curious.
Sooooo, moving forward;
As I detailed in my previous post that was deleted, I have tried *everything* I can think of to make my Turbine function but have yet to get it to wick juice down to the coil. Here's the story...
Upon receipt:
-Removed tank from atty.
-Blew out factory primer.
-Loaded a 3ml syringe with my usual, VB Watermelon 50/50@24mg. Installed CE2 filler tip.
-Used syringe to re-prime using my juice: made sure to lubricate both the wick material *and* place a couple drops into the space where the coil resides via the small gaps next to the spike plate.
-Filled the cartridge using the remainder of the syringe, leaving a generous amount of space for an air bubble as per lessons learned from the T-systems.
-Installed cartridge and proceeded to vape.
Other than blowing out the primer and re-priming with the good stuff, I'm certain that I prepared everything just as these items should have been. Once the primed juice was vaped out, the atty started acting dry and giving a bad taste. Here's my next step from this point:
-Remove cartridge.
-Using very fine needle-point tweezers, I readjusted the wick, pushing it ~.5mm down into the tube as to ensure contact of the wick with the coil and surrounding wick fragments.
-Re-prime w/same juice
-Reinstall cart and attempt again.
Results: same as before. Once my "primer" was expended, dry vape resulted. Next step:
-Remove cartridge.
-Grab 2nd blank, load with a much thinner juice. VaporRenu Black Cherry, 80/20@16mg.
-Re-prime atty using new juice, same mannerism.
-Reinstall cart and attempt again.
Result: same issue.
From this point, experimentation ensues: I've tried all of the following:
-Using different eGo and even 510 batts with different-sized airflow notches and charge levels.
-Removing spike plate and installing a section of wick from a CE2-X.
-Adjusting wick height.
-Filling tank half-full.
Still, I just can't get it to wick. If anyone here knows what I'm doing wrong, or can tell me what it is that I could have done differently in the first place, I would greatly appreciate it. As I stated before, I really want this thing to work for me, especially since I love the mouthpiece design!!!
Thanks a bunch!!!

Ok good- thanks for the thorough walk-thru:
When you insert your tank pay particular attention to the airflow column in your tank and line it up over the air allowances inside the atty (not sure if you did that, just saying).
When you hit dry after your prime is vaped, try lifting the tank out a bit and reinserting it into the atomizer, flick it a bit to get your juice flowing. Is this a particularly thick juice by the way? I know you say it is 50/50 but there are juices that are predominantly PG but still thick.
Also this is a 2.1ohm rated atomizer, not sure what PV you are using? If I missed that, sorry.
edit: Ok I see where you are saying you are using different ego's and 510's...

I have vaped it fairly exlclusively today for about ten hours and I am halfway thru the 2nd tank. The flavor has been good no dry vapes or burnt taste at all, several times the vapor decreased for a hit or two and I reseated tank and shook it a couple of times and it began vaping normally. Twice it quit completely and i did the same thing and it started up again. If it contiues to work this good I will be happy with the purchase and I'm going to order another one. It works much better for me than the ego-t and better than the giantomizer in fact it is better so far than any of the other cartomizers I've tried except the Go-Go carto. It works good on my Ego and Riva batteries and that is what i wanted. I got the stainless and I really like the looks of it and the whistle tip is great. I am happy with it so far and hope it continues to work this good.
Just my luck sales over before I get paid Thursday . Oh well IMO they are well worth the $. I love these Turbines

Just want to say I'm quite fond of these things. One follow up question... Do the empty tanks come with condoms? I'm thinking it might be handy to get a couple extras of those to store extra juice in for extended trips.
yes the extra tanks you can buy all have condoms on them. they also have a nipple that extends into the tank to seal it off. I pre-filled my carts and they didn't leak at all.
Excellent! I'm already beginning to formulate another shopping list. I think the guys need to take that bullet point off of their cards that say vaping costs less than cigs

errr, yeah.

E-cigs much cheaper than oxygen bottles and lung transplant though!
Amen to that!! I just want my knee to get better so I can take my lungs on a test run, you know, something easy like 9 miles or somewhere around there.

Such ambition, I'm just happy I can climb the stairs without being winded now.
But of course, I may be 37 but they try and keep us in pretty good shape at my Duty Station.
