We have 1.5's and 2.0's coming because some people like stuff that breaks. So a week max they should be here. Someone sent an EVO in and I've been hitting it all week at 4.0 with IMR bat's like a really cheap Vmax gets the job done. Yes NOA I did say I wasn't getting them. Just have such a fetish for PV's and fat chicks, can't help myself :)

1.5 + 2.0 lt's? Hummm think I will go vmax?

Gone through 5 tanks or so in the stone and I'm still not impressed. Flavor hasn't improved much. Shame... It looks nice on top of the red lt with a red calabash :/ am I alone in my opinion of these?

I'm not fussy on mine either. I don't have the patience to go through 5 tanks to see if it gets better

I'm using Jokesmoke in mine, and I love it! Every time I fill it, I really clean/blow out the mouthpiece, and it solved the gurgling problem I used to have.

I always get the gurgle after filling for some reason! Doesn't make sense to me, but I fill, re-assemble, blow into mouthpiece, dab up gurgle juice. I don't get the gurgle after the fill tho. Vapes like a champ, just poor flavor. :(

I always get a little leakage and gurgles in all my ce style tanks when I fill. It leaks down into the 510 connection for the first couple of toots.
I just take it off, clean up the drop of juice and all is good for the rest of the tank.
I suspect it is the pressure difference caused by screwing on the top.

Hey Mopar!

I'm trying to order one of your L-Rider minis that are advertised for $36.95, but when I put it in my cart it shows up as $49.95. Also, I noticed that you are out of stock on the 18350 flat top batteries for it. Any idea when you'll have the batteries in stock and what the actual price of the L-Riders are......Thank you. :)

I got the new Firebird Cartos and can not figure out how to fill them properly. Well, once I get the liquid in the syringe I was able to fill it but I sure made a mess trying to suck liquid out of my ejuice bottle, and got lots of air in the syringe itself.

My kit came with 5 cartos, a syringe and 2 tips and a soft black thingy (is the thingy for filling?). So I removed the cap from juice bottle, then I removed the inner tip as well. I place the black thingy on syringe then place that into juice bottle and turn juice bottle upside down so I can pull syringe to draw liquid. Now syringe is full, but my hands are messy from leaking liquid. Now I remove black thingy from syringe and replace with needle and turn syringe upside down and get rid of air; more mess :)

So, now syringe is full with no air, I remove plastic tip in carto so I can fill. I find small hole where syringe needle will penetrate and insert needle. I now turn carto upside down vertically so I can fill, and fill till full. No mess for this stage. I now replace the plastic tip I removed back into carto and place on battery. Yeah it works.

So can someone give me tips to fill these cartos so I do not get my hands dirty with equild please? Or, maybe just a link to a video may help.

Thanks.

That right there is your problem. Why are you flipping the juice bottle upside down? Insert the syringe into the juice bottle, and pull up on the plunger. No mess..

Is there any way to disassemble and clean the FB Cartos or are they strictly throw away?

I tried; needle is not long enough :)

I pour the juice into a condom cap (the things that boge cartos come with) suck up with syringe and then fill properly (putting the firebird upside down) works like a charm, no mess. Syringe needle conveniently fits into a juice bottle tip if they're is any extra juice in the syringe, no hassle, no mess =)

Great idea; I'm going to try that next time! Thanks.

The black thingy is actually a soft tip mouth piece and has nothing to do with filling. Think of it as a drip tip that you don't drip through.

Ahh, that's what it for. Now I understand why it did not make a complete seal to the bottle when trying to fill hehe.

I think I am liking the FB (small one) so far. Only issue I have so far is I seem to be getting a very mild burnt taste when I puff 2 or 3 times in a row. That could be since my juice is plain 50/50. I will try less VG on next batch to see if that makes a difference, or maybe these cartos need a few hours of burn in time?

Is the burnt taste happening on a newly filled FB? Take a couple primer puffs and allow the wick time to break in....first 10 puffs maybe? OR If you have refilled it a few times and this happens, it may indicate it needs a cleaning. My thicker vg gunks up the coil quicker than a pg/vg or thinned out vg. By the second refill it should be super smooth.
