Wow. This just is not my week for trying new stuff. As I've gotten quite frustrated with my Ego-T's lack of flavor, and the necessary 5-7 second draw for a decent hit, I decided to try some new stuff. I bought a 5 pack of clearomizers (ce-2x's), and while they work fantastically well, after the first fill, the tubes ALL started getting cracks at the bottom, where they meet the battery connector. That's not reliable enough for me. So I grabbed a turbine with a couple of extra tanks. I'm quite disappointed to be honest. I've tried rearranging the tank different ways, different juices (they seem to work half-way decent with pure VG juice for me), different tanks, washing out the atty, and I'm just not getting great hits, and the draw is stiff. I also have one of the same problems I had with the T. It requires like a 5 second draw. I really had high hopes. I'll keep trying, because when it DOES work, I get good flavor and decent vapor. Oh well, maybe the Vortexes I ordered will work better. Otherwise, I'm back to my Ikenvape 2.0 ohm cartos solely for their reliability. I just hate not being able to see exactly how much juice I have left in a regular carto.

Got my TURBINE 2day.KPOW!This thing hits like a freight train and looks good on my chrome Inferno(I got the stainless atty).This is what the EGO-T shuda been and wants 2 be.Great flavor and vapor.Took a bit 2 break it in.Would get a dry burnt taste @ first about every 4 or 5 puffs.I woud then lift the tank up and reseat it.It would go another 4 0r 5 puffs then reseat again.After about an hour or so of this it took hold and gives consistant flavor ,vapor and TH.The way its workn now I would give it a 10!BTW if your using the Inferno you should prob remove the o-ring.

I love the look and feel of these, but sadly mine arrived DOA. I SO wanted to like this set-up. I have emailed, but no answer from them yet. I am tired of dripping and cartos. I jumped on this and ordered hoping this would be "the one".

pm me, if its doa send it back and we will test it and and send you one.

Like i said this wont be a issue any further, 360 tested so far, not one doa.
update 430 tested, not one doa, there is more news coming about the turbines hopefully later today.

In my humble opinion, I think one of the issues with the DOA Turbines might be the pv or the adapter pushing the center contact in too far. I keep having to pull it out with a pin. Both of mine appeared to be DOA, but they weren't. A gently pull on the center contact corrects the problem, however the pin does seem to mysteriously get "sucked up" into the stem and lose contact periodically. I am using 510 to 510 adapter on the Epower and the Indulgence. It won't fire at all on my Riva unless the pin is pulled out pretty far. Not sure what to make of it...

Well, I figured out my problem with these. Sort of. Just don't know how to fix it, or if it's even possible to. They actually work great for a short period, and then turn to garbage. I realized they're flooding on me. Vapes quite good for a bit, and then the draw gets very tough, and flavor drops off. But for that first few hours, they work well. I just can't carry around a sink with me everywhere to rinse it out every few hours. LOL. Sorry, but I won't be ordering more. Here's to hoping the Vortexes work out for me when I get 'em in a few days.

I got 3 more of the Turbines and they were a night and day difference between the first two I tried. They have "Saturn V" printed on them. One worked great from the start, the other two required a tank or so of burn in order to be chain vaped without burning. I'm very happy with these. I much prefer these over the ego-T B style.

I use eGo-T cone attys with my 3.7V e-pipe mod. I like them when they are fresh. Each eGo-T is just perfect at the first day, good enough on the second and pretty bad (clogged) at the end of the third one (about 5-6 tanks a day). No one of known methods of the cleaning work well for me. So my dream is to have tank attys which could work like fresh eGo-T do for at least a week. Just to throw them away after a week.

Got Turbines today. Well, not too disappointed and not too excited. They work like eGo-T at the end of the second day from the very beginning. If they will work like this for a week I will probably switch to Turbines. And one more thing, they have lower resistance than eGos, so the current is 2A instead of 1.5A with eGos. So keep in mind they will drain your batteries about 30% faster. My 18350 batteries (800 and 1100 mA) work for about two-three hours of heavy vaping. Considering that my charger charges two batteries for about 8 hours, seems I have a problem and need a second charger. So let's see how long will they last.

Ya know I am not sure what everyone is using in their eGo-T's as far as liquid goes, but my 70/30 PG/VG liquids are pretty darned thick and I fill up both the type A and Type B tanks with it and just vape on the different flavors throughout the week and they sit in the same spot all week long with the tanks and everything attached ready to just pick up and vape and I have been having no troubles with them at all in the past 3 weeks doing this after a good soak in boiling water for about 15 minutes then a trip through the jewelry cleaner and a quick rinse I let them dry load them up and then they sit for another week or so or until they are empty.
