Are the current Go-Go batteries still suffering from the center post problems that the earlier Go-Go batteries suffered? I have four Go-Go batteries from fairly early on, back when only two vendors were selling the Go-Go kits and you couldn't get spare parts anywhere! All four of the batteries regularly need to have the center posts "gently lifted" in order to charge or get cartos to fire. Is this still a problem, or has this been worked out in the newer batteries? One day I'm going to "gently lift" the center post and the thing's going to come right out.

None of my batteries have ever had this problem, at least not to the extent that my 510 mods have had. I usually turn the carto just until I feel it "bottom out," then give it another little twist to seat it nicely. Looking at how most e-cigs are built, you should have enough wire behind the center post if it does lift out on ya. It'll push right back in, too.

You gotta love the USPS... I got one order shipped on a Saturday a day and a half later on Monday all the way down here in Florida. My red sale event Go-Go that Eric sent out on Monday still shows it hasn't been received by them. I am not fussing over our man Eric as he does a fantastic job getting the stuff to them.

It does get frustrating though when it seems every package you really want (like my red Go-Go :(), they seem to misroute or fail to scan for tracking. They better not ding up my red Go-Go or I will declare war on the Postmaster General! :laugh:

With all the good things I am hearin about the Chopper, looks like I need to score one of the 7ml jobs! A tank full with 7ml of Lemonade and a freshly charged Go-Go batery = a juice hog's (me! :p) dream come true!

I hear you about the postal service!! My mailperson is an older lady, and if the package wont fit, she sits in the driveway honking her horn till you come to her car to grab the package..... it is a whole 20 feet to the porch :) She atleast knows where I live now...

And you will LOVE the tank!!!!! I was fortunate enough to get one when it was in the making... and I still use it :)

Hope you are well Major :) Still using my go-go's .... they are looking a little beat up lately, but still going strong!!!

Yea, this is a major point of frusration for me. I like to track my packages as they go out.
I have physically seen them scan them at the desk (I insist on it) and still days later it will not be in the system.

Last night I was checking a couple of packages vs. posts on the forum and some people received their packages and the USPS doesn't even show it in the system yet.
Very frustrating.

I guess it's It's still better than the week it takes to go 4 miles shipping UPS. :)

Not mine, at least not in any number that is worth any lost sleep.

Occasionally it will come up, but this is just going to happen no matter what they do. The design has been improved, or rather, the workmanship has been improved. The button issue has been addressed several times and that also seems to be better.
The Go-go is maturing and as they have moved to full on production rather than "let's test this new model" it gets better.

Regardless, I warranty all my sales, so there isn't any need to worry, the only thing you'll have to worry about is a few days shipping time. I would imagine if someone sent me an old one and it was really beat up, I might decline to replace it, but in general my warranty is wide open.

I can attempt to fix batteries that came from other vendors (you just pay shipping) but cant guaranty it.

+1 on the free juice sample idea. Even if it was 1 mil, tasting a new flavor is a great idea for a freebie (assuming you could find a cheap container to put it in)

That's the rub, I don't make enough profit yet to buy the small containers (they cost exactly the same as the 15ml, go figure)
However, I AM entertaining the idea and if I get enough together to cover that cost I will do it. Keep in mind, for me to send out samples I'd have to have sample packs of all the flavors (or at least a good assortment)

Would you all be willing to pay for a sample pack? If so, I can just create a price to cover the expenses.

I have tried my very best to be completely honest with Go-go Nation and I honestly can't afford to purchase the containers and cover the liquid it would take. Lets say I throw together an 8 pack, that's the cost of 8 bottles, tips and caps, plus the liquid, and the labels. I know if I put a sample pack together I'd need at least 100+ sets to start, that's a 1000 count order for bottles etc...

I realize what a boon it could be as people try the juices, but as they say "it takes money to make money"

The cost up front is just too much right now. :(
I have so many other things I am investing in, makes it hard to pull the trigger on that decision.
But I do think about it every day.

Jut as a curiosity, how much do you all think would be a fair price for a sample pack of 8, 3ml each?

Also, if anyone knows where I could get a super cheap 3ml bottle that would serve this purpose, it might make it a lot easier to do it. I've looked around but have been kinda busy lately so I haven't really scoured.

Here is hoping the go-go to 510 adapters come in soon, would like to see my ordered stuff

I just PM'ed you :)

Sure, I would be willing to pay for a sample pack, or individual samples. If you don't pre-fill them, then putting it up as an option is not a risk for you. Just add a sample size to each juice type pulldown, with the appropriate price associated.

1000 count of anything is a risk ;) I'd have to get a large amount because I get queasy when I am out of stock of something someone wants.

Thanks for the idea, it's a good one but I think I'd rather sell a pack, rather than one at a time like that. I'd rather make 5-10 packs at a time rather than 1 sample per flavor on order. That's a lot of individual work time :p
Plus it would "force" some people to try something they might not know they'd eventually fall in love with. LOL

I get a lot of ideas from you all here, so please anytime you have any suggestion post it.

sounds like a postman i used to have who would not even try to deliver packages i had to sign for. even tho i was at home, waiting for mail delivery, he would leave a slip of paper in my box stating that he had "attempted" to deliver when he hadn't. then i would have to drive to the post office to sign for and pick up the package. now, that is lazy! i only lived on the 2nd floor in an apartment building without an elevator. lol

my red go-go finally showed up in usps tracking last night! courtesy of a long-time go-go enthusiast (and good friend) and the great sale you just had, i'm getting to try the go-go and see how great it is for myself. I can't wait to fire it up!!! and thank you so much, eric, for going out of your way and taking the extra care needed for mailing. life is already good but appears to be getting even better! :)

I like the idea of sample packs. However, I see that as being a lot of time and work. If you're looking to keep busy, then okay. I'm willing to pay $4.99 to try a flavor and if I like it, I have the rest of the bottle to enjoy. (If the first 2 flavors I've tried are any indication, I don't think I'll have much disappointment.) My taste buds keep changing and when I revisit some flavors, I find I like them the second time around. One can also PIF or trade?

There are other options. You might consider promos like: spend xx $$, get an xx ml of juice for xx amount. Then you'd be selling product and covering your cost for the sample. Just my :2c:

PIF = Pay It Forward

It's a whole sub-forum here on ECF: Pay It Forward - PIF


wow, awesome, just read a few of those posts... I wonder if a supplier can get in there? I'd love to participate, it's be cool to offer some Go-go stuff for free in return for being able to test other products and flavors.

I guess not though, that would probably be construed as advertising...
