No Blank Cartos!!!

[Grammie]

Hiya Ben,

When are you getting the blank Turbo Carto's in? All set to order and order my sample juice! Yikes, no Blanks!!

 

[syntaxevasion]

We should have them back early-mid next week.. Bad order timing on our part

 

[syntaxevasion]

Everyone should still grab a bottle of the new liquid.. free 5ml bottles are shipping now while we wait for the next shipment..

 

[Grammie]

Can I order my carto's now or do I need to wait until you have the stock up online? I can order now. I have no problem waiting for them.

 

[syntaxevasion]

I'll add some to the site.. long weekend so I think they'll be here tuesday or wednesday anyhow

 

[Grammie]

Will go check now and put in my order! Thanks Ben!!

Order placed! I hope you ordered PLENTY! LOL

 

[Belletrist]

Oooh, good, I just came in to ask about this. I was afraid I'd have to dirty my lazy li'l hands and wash some, lol.

 

[Belletrist]

Ben, are you sending out pretend ship notices again?

 

[syntaxevasion]

Yes, only for some of the turbos (like the empty ones)..got them marked on the page as back ordered

they were supposed to be here this week but they were late shipping and are en route and looking like it'll be monday

 

[Belletrist]

K--I haven't ordered yet but someone asked how long stuff takes to ship cause they were worried, that's all.

 

[syntaxevasion]

ooh, gotcha.. yeah we're tracking them inbound so my guess is Monday.. And I have been meaning to get back to ya, haven't forgotten..will pm ya tomorrow when I've got time to think through some stuff for the material

 

[Grammie]

Ben's just making sure he has the labels ready to when they arrive!

You can blame me, I asked him to put them up so I could go ahead and make my purchase (needed to do it at that time, had the $$).

 

[Belletrist]

Lol, I passed the blame on. I was 90% sure that's what it was when he said he'd gotten just blanks but I wanted to confirm since, yanno. I don't like, work at vapornine and probably shouldn't be fielding customer service.

orderded mine on the the 29th of may, have not received them yet. Also I would like to know if anybody has a good tip for removing the glued caps, as I will most likely get those :-(

 

[Belletrist]

I'd expect you haven't gotten them yet cause you're in the Netherlands?

I find I can remove the glued on hardcaps without issue with a fork, but I'm in the minority there. You can also dip just the mouthpiece end in boiling water for a few seconds, which will loosen the glue.

I get stuff from the USA normally within 5 or 6 business days.

thxs for the fork tip!

Maybe you lucked out and they got lost...

The best way to remove them non-violently is to warm them up first. Somebody uses a hair-dryer, just read about it here, I think. I wrap them in a single layer of aluminum foil (to keep water from getting inside) and hold the mouth end of the carto (with the kitchen tongs, they get hot) in just-boiled water, ca. 210 degrees F, (100 C for you) for just under a minute. Then grab whatever you have handy--a small crochet needle, a tiny screwdriver, a fork (hi, Belle!) and gently pry the endcap up and out of the carto sleeve. If it resists, dunk it again. This way you'll be able to remove the cap and the nasty glue used to hold it in place. And if you saved some of the rubber end caps from your previous batch of Turbos, just use those in place of the hard ones. Good luck!

You'll have to use her fork!

I bent the tines on mine. Heat'em up first.

 

[Belletrist]

It does hafta be a sturdy fork, and there's a knack to it.

OK I'm the hairdryer guy hahaha I like using it because its simple and no water needed just hold the cap end over the hairdry for just about 15 seconds and the cap peals right off. I also take an exacto knife to get any remaining glue off the edges. I also have found that using my 510 Dripping Tip really works great to keep the cartos wet, just a couple of drops every once in a while works great.


PS,

Ben when will you have these Carto's with caps that are just removable so we dont have to go through this process
