Well, I am a little disappointed with my chopper tank, got it a couple days ago, filled it up this morning, and set it upright on the table to let it soak for 30 min. When I went to pick it up, the thing was less than half full. and on the table was about 1.5 ml of my favorite "LIQUID GOLD" juice wasted. And it was the last 3ml I had. I followed the directions, precisely from gogousa website. Luckly, I retracted the remaining juice from the tank with my Hyp. needle. The liquid seemed to leak out of the cardo and not the tank. Has anyone else had this problem?...........Thanks Harley41

Sorry to hear that,the only 2 things I can think of that would make that happen is.The poly filler is not packed down or the fill hole plug is not snug in the hole which will allow air to pass thru and force liquid out.Also on the same note they do flood a little as the poly absorbs the liquid.Try filling again and let it sit on top of something that will catch any juice that escapes that you can reuse.

Harley41, yes, I just had that experience last night. Twice, with two different tanks/cartos, both new. I had had great success with two prior to that, so I don't know what it is. I just posted about this in the main Go-Go thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-go-specific-thread-all-things-go-go-204.html. I'm quite sure it's something with the carto but am fearful to keep retrying with different cartos. Also in that post I mentioned that my pink and blue cartos don't vape as well as my original black ones - less juice, less filler, less flavor, significantly so. I'm wondering if rebuilding them with new filler will help, or if it's some other mechanism?

The colored cartos are prefilled, perhaps they were overfilled? did you add juice to them before vaping?
Overfilling will cause it not to vape properly, when it happens to me I pull out the fill clean and it usually seems ok. If I get bad fill I use Fluval instead.

I am going to put a video together on how to clean refill via my method, take less than a minute from full/dirty to clean/dry and ready. I'll try to get it done this weekend.

One thing I've done when refilling the Chopper tank is to trim off the bottom of a '....-plug' thing, so that it's just the plug part. When I turn the filled tank up to rest I leave the plug in the hole so that juice doesn't leak out before it has a chance to soak the fill. Then, after I let it sit for the 10-20 minutes I take the plug out, I can be right there if it's going to leak like crazy, so I can catch the juice in another container if necessary.

thanks for the reply Chopper, I know it wasn't the plug, I double checked it, ,could be the filler, I will check it out in a few. Thanks for the quick response......Harley41

Hmmm...mine's still having a party in KEARNY, NJ 07099 :lol:

I just got my red Go-go and chopper tank TODAY-Yeaaaaaaa!!!!
Beautiful red Go-go !!!! and I love the stainless drip tip !!!!
sooooo pretty and the drip tip "feels" so nice. Will have to get more of them with my next order.
( and I normally use whistle tips )

ps- chopper tank will not work on my Cigeasy batts but does work on my "Eric" batts.
reason is that carto's center posts are more recessed on the "Eric" go-go stuff.
Hope this makes sense the way I wrote it.

Just had mail call here at the office and both the old package that was in NJ and the new one I ordered two days ago arrived today! :)

This blue Go-Go is gorgeous Eric, great job on getting these done, I couldn't be happier with it! The stainless drip tip goes perfectly with it, and to paraphrase old hippy, it feels great! :D

Interesting. My chopper tank works fine on both Eric bats and CigEasy bats. Sometimes I have have to twist the center posts on a carto if it doesn't fire, and that pretty much always fixes the problem. Some sort of connection issue.

OH! I didn't know they were pre-filled. Well that explains that! :) Do you know if they are also a lower resistance that the standard cartos? I will look forward to your video on cleaning. I've been saving all the threads on this for when I am able to do it but it would be great to see it done too.

ok- my last post above does not even make sense to me-ugh-so will try to get it right this time.
My Cigeasy batts and carto's have more raised center posts than the Eric go-gos and cartos.
So are not really interchangeable.
Not wanting to take chances with raising center posts here.
Eric's adapters mean I can use his carto's and Choppers tank with my eGo's though.
Did this make more sense?

Eric's colored cartos are already filled with a MILD tobacco.
I just added some VR Carmel Cap on top and then kept topping off with it for almost 2 weeks per carto, before having to clean and refill them. They work great on Eric's go-go's.
And I am a very heavy vaper.
( I think right now, that I have every color of Eric's batts plus a really neat one of his "wraps"-LOL )

All is well out here in desert land. The Red gogo with the stainless drip tip arrived and I must say it is BEAUTIFUL. No doubt, Eric, you are the MAN! You put together the products well all crave and do it with flair and always with an eye out for the customer. I commend you highly for the business model you've created and will certainly be ordering my vaping needs from you. Thank you.

OK Chopper, You can put a smile back on your face, I took and eased down the filler, couldn,t really tell that it moved any at the bottom , refilled the tank to about 1/2 way, and been vaping it pretty heavely for the last 45 min. and no leaking so far.....thanks again,,,,,Harley41

Loved the red gogo so much, I ordered a blue one with cone and blue cartos plus some more red gocarts. Out of stock on the stainless drip tips.......ratso! When I went to the shopping cart my addy was missing, the zip code was wrong, my entire order history was erased and there was no option for paypal which is what I've always used before on about 5 or 6 orders.
Eric I need these issues fixed so I can continue to order from your site. Thank you.

EDIT: Got the pay pal link to work........order placed.
