I am paying retail for all my liquid flavorings and I have asked many of the flavoring vendors for bulk pricing and with some of them it's a process that takes a while.
I am trying to make a profit and buying flavoring etc.. at retail doesn't allow me to do this. There is a reason all the liquid vendors charge on average about double what I do.

I am REALLY trying to save you guys money, but keeping every flavor in stock all the time while making no little to no profit is very hard. Big sellers like PC would seem to make me money but in fact it's the opposite because I have to invest a lot just to get enough.

Long story shorter... once I get my merchant status approved from the place I get one of the ingredients from I will be purchasing it and making some, should be any day.
I apologize for the wait on this one but I will get there

don't care about the cost. I'll pay extra if need be. Just care about the juice. Due to my lungs, I've searched and experimented extensively for juices that will give me the flavor, satisfaction and still be easy on my lungs. Unfortunately your pina colada mixed to the specialized formula we devised is one of the only ones that work for me. You're my lung doctor. eric. Now get cracking.

Roger that, I'll get on it (no need to pay extra, that's not how I roll )

It has been a while since I posted here but wanted to take a moment to wish Eric continued success - which is good news for all of us - and also to wish all the best in 2012 ~

Happy New Year everyone!

I second that for the Happy New Year Mine will be spent watching movies,having popcorn and sparkling grape juice non alcohol with my daughter at home.My wife is going out with her friends,she really deserves the break.

Eric, just out of curiosity, is it possible to find a manufacturer in the US that could make things like the GGDDC? I know it would be more expensive, but I know I wouldn't have a problem paying a little more, especially if that meant we wouldn't have to wait weeks... sometimes months for new stock to arrive (I've seen this happen with other vendors, sometimes stock will be out for upwards of two months).

Hell, I live in the industrial Mid-west, give me the specs for them and I'll shop some plants in Indiana that are desperate to be making *something*, since most electronic and car parts have been outsourced to China.

The XL3
It has been brought to my attention that the XL3 has a few issues that I was not aware of and frankly I can believe I missed it.
If you are using a 18650 battery, the highest setting will not last very long as an 18650 is 3.7v but may come off the charger at 4.2, as you know 4.2 doesn't last very long and as it declines in voltage, so does the ability of the XL3 to keep it's highest voltage setting. This isn't a flaw, it's just by design as it doesn't have a step up converter in it.

However, if you use TWO CR123a batteries (2 x 3.7v) it'll actually give you one more (green) voltage choice...green is around 5V.
So if you want the higher voltage you need to use two CR213a'a

AWESOME.

Thanks goes to BBB for bringing this to my attention.

re: 2.5ml Capacity 3 ohm Clear Clearomizer with Blue LED

I've used this for 2 days now, even submitted a review I liked it so much ... a few more impressions of it: it still hits great, with lots of vapor on my vv device, but it also works well for a few hrs on a gg 1300 batt and 510 big batts ... I have tried 3 different flavors in it, I just poured out the old flavor, wiped it out as best I could, gave it a shot of canned air and re-filled ... there are plastic bits in the unit and the tip is plastic, so flavors will be absorbed easily, I can still taste garlic from my pizza bread sticks I may have to dedicate some of these clearomizers to my stronger flavors ... altho, after about 4 mls of my Havanna cigar juice, the garlic taste is now gone

this metal bar instead of wires is innovative I guess, and seems to work very well, but time will tell ... no burnt taste, no metallic taste ... it doesn't bother my lungs to take a deep draw, but doesn't give a strong throat hit either, but that may be due, in part, to the juice ... you can lay on your back and hit this without fear of juice in your mouth, it doesn't leak thru the tip, so far ... I've been using 80% and 100% VG juices

stuck it in my shirt pocket, did some yard work, played with the dog, stood it on end and upside down, didn't leak, and it doesn't leak while refilling (dripping from the bottle) ... I suppose filling with a syringe would eliminate the few air bubbles I get while drip filling ... the easy draw might be a bit airy for some, but perfect for me, plenty of vapor with a short draw ... the tip is loose enough to clamp between your teeth and rotate, but it certainly won't fall out

imho, I place the performance below the ggdcc and above the standard gg cart, ymmv ... when the dual coils come in I will buy more of them and more of these clearomizers, and I think I'll be a happy camper

a few questions

1) do you have spare tips for these things ? ... these tips are a special design and proprietary, so no other tip will work ... I'm not sure if the leftover strong flavor is retained in the tip or atomizer itself ... spare tips would be handy

2) looks like cleaning will be a simple water rinse and possibly a dry burn, don't know how long good performance will last, has anyone tried to clean one of these ? ... I've had no drop in performance yet, so no reason to clean

3) the blue led went out already but it doesn't change my opinion of this otherwise well made, very good performing product did I mention it doesn't leak ?

this was a nice find, thanks, save me a couple dozen will ya

have a safe New Years Eve evening

 

[Briachas]

That's it Eric!!! I am not buying another item from you this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jacquelyn]

Happy new years... WHat are the chances go-go will ever be made as a variable voltage? I would be in vape heaven.

However, you need to know that the Go-go's strength is the perfectly matching voltage and carto, once you change that, well things change.

1. No sorry, one comes with each one so I didn't see the need to ask.

2. Cleaning is easy, rinse it, dry burn for 2-3 seconds, let it dry, that's it.

3. That wasn't a question

as far as the tip goes, you can disassemble that and clean it like anything else and it will rid itself of weird tastes.
I recommend you do that often.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

May your 2012 be better than 2011!

 

[jacquelyn]

that's coming next

I am so excited I can't wait... Is it going to go at least to 5 volts or higher?

 

[gormly]

I am so excited I can't wait... Is it going to go at least to 5 volts or higher?

I am designing it now, I am having a hard time getting my jumbo Go-go batteries fixed and sent back and the dual coils are taking too long so the wait will be significant I think, but it's coming. I may have an alternate solution soon enough. Also. while I am not sure I think the Go-go Jumbo will allow for double voltage if you use 2 of the CR123's like the XL3, I will have to test it once I get in some CR123's and will report back, I still have a few Jumbos to test with.

That said, I do not think I will allow it to go higher that 5, my variable volt that I built (see a few pages back) does NOT vape well over 5V with Go-go carts.

Eric, I remember one of your first posts. All you wanted was to buy a battery charger for the gogo and nobody would sell you one. Only a kit. You said you would do something about that and lo and behold, here you are. You've established a thriving business based on the best customer service principles. Kudos to you and your accomplishments and I'm confident you'll have a happy and prosperous NEW YEAR. Congratulations and best of luck in the year of the Dragon.

Cheers! You are the best.

LOL can you believe that was just 6 months ago??
Wow time flies...

I remember a lot of people doubted I was for real, and based on what I've learned about this biz, I don't blame them.
I would have too! I can admit it now... I didn't know squat about ecigs at the time, was just annoyed I couldn't find a charger, but just the other day I built the first ever (I think) dual switchable carto mod box and tonight I have custom drip tips baking in the oven ..

funny anecdote.. while I was waiting for my go-go charger to be made I used a 510 charger and tipped the go-go at an angle until it made contact with the positive and negative, it was a real PITA but it worked
LOL

 

[mohawkx]

Well, you certainly parlayed a minor irritation into an all consuming endeavor. My hat's off to you. I'm honored to have seen it happen.

 

[sonicdsl]

Congrats on a great start Eric! I can't wait to see your business grow in 2012!

Happy New Year to the GoGo Nation!
