Shame about the Tidy cartos dumping. One of the kits I have coming is the Tidy kit and I was kind of hoping it would turn out to be good, but dumping is an absolute deal breaker in a clearo no matter how well it performs otherwise. I'll be extra careful with mine when they arrive and be sure only to use the Tidies at home so that if they dump I'll have the stuff on hand to prevent it from getting everywhere. Or at least clean it up if it does...

Thank you for the review! This is the first time I have come across anyone saying that these will not work on the Ego's. You just saved me a ton of grief and some money as I was ready to pull the plug on these and order a pack and, of course, all I have in my arsenal is Ego batts. Damn ... however, that said, thanks for posting that review!

I am currently uploading a second review using the second fire bird i have. It would seem that the second one works more then fine on the ego (i have the twist model), while the first one i used does not want to work at all............as i said before it could be a hit or miss.....either way on a mod or on the ego (with one working) in this second video though i am merely showing you from opening to using on the ego....;) they are very nice to use....i might sugest after filling one you let it sit for about ten minutes before using so as the juice can get into the wick then to the coil properly.....have done this twice now and seems to be perfectly fine, actually going to be ordering more of these to replace the tanks i have

I have a problem.....I completely filled and slapped the 1.2ml firebirdy on my twist and it worked amazingly well???

So what's the catch? Did I randomly select the good one and the rest will cause sleepless nights & grief? I certainly hope not because so far it is great. I tried it on a reg ego battery and it was ok too. THANKS Constantine for making me worry. ;) lol (sorry you had issues with your batty & birdy :( )

I too, wonder about the mileage, the only predictable downfall is having to inject liquid, other than that, the draw is mighty fine :) I want MORE!

Quick and dirty comments on the 3ml Firebird I gotted today...

Thankfully a previous order I had a gotten a few needle bottles, because siringes/needles pretty much scare me to death.. true story.. they freak me out.

Definitely fill it upside down, so you don't leak.

Slipped it onto the twist, works great, very smooth and clean. I seem to be losing some throat hit, but this is just using it for the first 1/2 hour or so, we'll see how life plays out after long use. With the cap on and the 900/1000mAh twist it is loooong hehe.

I tried to get it to thread onto my 510 to ego adapter to use it on the Lavatube and it just won't do it.

I also have a 510-901 and a 901 to ego adapter that I tossed together and that worked with the firebird. Its a little tall doing that but at least provides the option of using it on the LT.

Mostly posting about the connection thing and will report back if TH picks up after a "break in".

So far its results have me wanting to order another 510-ego adapter in hopes I can use it on the LT that way rather than double adapter. *keeping everything crossed it holds up*

Sweeeeeeet. My Canvape package arrived today. Tracking made me nervous 'cos there wasn't any movement on it 'til I got notification of its delivery. Now I got enough Boge XXL cartos to keep my tanks happy for a while.

Also got a pack of Firebirds and one of the 3ml biggies. Firebirds work as excellent as I remember them from Gotvapes, and mine do, in fact, work fine on my Twist. Getting a dry hit or two here but the wicks probably need a few vapes to break in. (Just filled it like 10 minutes ago.) But right now it's parked on my LT 1.5 because my Twist is currently toting the 3ml Firebird, and I'd just like to say, a 3ml Firebird with the cap on screwed onto a 1000mAh Twist turns it into a quarterstaff. It's freaking long.

It's also vaping pretty damn nicely. Throat hit is slightly diminished, flavour is slightly lighter (though very clean), but not enough to be annoying. Looks fantastic on the Twist, if, like I said, making it look like a police baton. Cap won't fit over a ming, though. :(

Gotta vape this for a day or two more, drain a few tanks through it, and then do a review.

Just got mine today, and it is working fine on my LT (with ego adapter). Have it set to 3.4, so it should work very nicely on my ego batteries. Flavor and TH, as mentioned take a small hit, but it puts out plunges of vapor, and was fairly ready to fill. A note: 3ml seems a bit high for capacity. Mine spit out some juice, and the syringe was only filled to the 3ml mark. My own fault for not being careful enough.

Overall, very enjoyable, and I will likely add some more to the box of parts.

Yeah, I used the 2.5ml syringe that came with the regular Phoenixes and that's just about what the 3ml took, maybe .1ml more, so definitely not a full 3ml.

Quick and dirty comments on the 3ml Firebird I gotted today...

Thankfully a previous order I had a gotten a few needle bottles, because siringes/needles pretty much scare me to death.. true story.. they freak me out.

You admitted that out loud....:lol: Good grief! I killed a jumbo wasp yesterday with my bare hands and a can of hairspray. lol

All joking aside, I tried a needle bottle for a refill and I must have shot some air inside and it caused a few drips. I cleaned it all up and it's back to normal. Is there a trick to using a needle bottle, maybe squeezing the air out first??

How does one fill a firebird properly (upside down) with a needle bottle... :confused::confused::confused:

Where did you buy your ego adapter from, mine is too large to fit the firebird and I want to be sure I get one that fits good. Thx

I had a fairly full bottle that I put the needle top on and just squished it.... I am sure it would be harder with a half empty bottle but the voices in my head said.... "just put that into a smaller bottle ya silly willy" and then I laughed at myself and said yeah that is a good idea .

I just figured I would share how my thought process happens :)

Seriously though, it actually worked quite easily with a fairly full bottle and for someone like me who hates needles, I will just keep my sample bottles handy when I need to refill.

I had this problem at first, but the second go I stuck it on juuuuuust right and it screwed in. Try lining it up another way and see if that works.
Not gonna happen, the adapter threads are not cut deep enough, I have tried on a few cartos that use this thread and its a no go, poor design on the adapter itself

There is a thread started to try to find a fix for the Tidy

There is no definite fix yet.

I fixed mine by giving up all my itaste parts for warranty :) no tidy juice anywhere.

That's a good idea ;)

Everything we have here is good to go with them. 2 styles on hand I don't have any of the 3rd one that we sold previously which was from smoktech :p

I got my firebirds today, so far I am liking them. I am actually use an old ego again with one and its working quite well!

I also got the 3ml tank version, and I do have to say go easy on the koolada with ecto cooler. Just the right amount and it tastes amazing! Go overboard and well.... now all I taste is MJ flavouring :blink:
