They are almost sold out but we have more coming right away. We don't have the MaXimizer (giantomizers) yet, we sent back th entire order until they got their issues straightened out. When we get our inventory of them hopefully the issues will have been addressed.

Who makes these? I'm a little hesitant after my experience with the Giantomizers.

I ordered some of these. Got to say, the technology on these look good. No crappy hanging wick. Good catch. Hopefully the flavor is good. Since you can't buy a pack of tanks on the website, do you really not need a pack of tanks? How easy is it to clean them out. Does it have a pop off cap at the end like the ego-t? I should get my order soon, but just wanted to ask.

Also, who makes these? Are these proprietary to gotvaptes.com

Ordered 2 on Monday received them today. Top points for service but as for the system itself, for me at least, Fail. Fill was easy using a luer lock tipped bottle but it all went down hill from there. First one I tried was DOA. When removing it from the battery to try the other the center contact fell right off the battery end. The other vaped nicely through the VG primer, nice crackly sound, nice vapor. After the primer ran through however it's been dry hit after dry hit. I'm now feeling sick and my throat is raw from trying to get a good draw off this thing, haven't even made it through an eighth of a tank yet. The only time I can get a decent draw off it is after several very hard un-powered draws followed by several hard flicks. With a very hard powered draw after that I get a good bit of vapor but the taste is non-existent. Vaping VB Arctic Ice at 80PG/20VG and while it will usually clear my sinuses during the worst flu I can't even taste the menthol on this thing. I had high hopes that this was gonna be the winner for me but the Ego-T was a much better performer, just a high PITA factor with it's low capacity,and it doesn't even come close to a tank modded CE2. This was vaped on a 650 Ego battery that came with my Ego-T order, also tried it on a little 510 manual as well with the same results. 1 DOA, and one that doesn't wick: bummer. Hopefully the Vortex and CE3's do better, I'd really love to clean out my modding drawer.

This makes me a little sad and I know the boys at gotvapes will respond but I want to thank you for a non bashing subjective review. It was honestly how you felt and not bashing the guys who continue to give great CS

HI GenMan, Chris has been vaping several days straight on his and is loving it. Maybe he can come in and comment on your experiences.

One of the things he is mentioning to me is not to completely fill it all the way so as to leave an air pocket at the top for better flow as you vape. If you reach a dry spot he has found that by simply lifting on the tank slightly and reinsterting it really helps with that. You clued in that the unit was vaping nicely through the primer then it went dry on you which says to me that possibly there is a flow problem. Chris will be doing a follow-up video on this.

On the DOA email or PM and we can arrange a replacement or a credit of some sort. Thanks for the feedback.

I did leave about and eighth inch air gap, learned that lesson on the T's. I've reseated several times as well. I've also direct dripped hoping that would help. Believe me I really did/do want this thing to work. I'll give it try again in the morning after a night of sitting to see if that helps. On the plus side with and Ego drip tip this thing does work nicely as a direct dripper. I like the system, the design makes sense, and I hoping I just got an off one here. As far as you guys go it's because of Chris and crew's hard work with the CE2's that I was able to quit smoking after 20+ years. Nothing but respect for what you guys have done.
