Crazy why they would change something even before they were being sold. They said they changed it because of leaking problems. Did you have leaking with the one you tested? Maybe they will be smart enough to go back to the original design and all they will need to do is send out more cartos.

No more leaking than anything else. Little drops here-and-there when in transport. Pretty much almost nothing though.
 
hello all

i am new to the DV family. i just did my first order a few days ago. i think i may have taken the last chrome uniq lava.

i just wanted to say something. i ordered some tank cartos recently and they look very similar to the ones in the video. they came from MiT/Royal Smoker and they have the same slots on both sides. this is the first time i had seen such slots on a carto and i just wanted to say if they are indeed from the same place the QC issues do not surprise me. i ordered 100 clear dual coils in january and 80 out of 100 were bad. mostly due to no airflow through the carto, and the ones i just got are ok at best it changes dramatically from carto to carto but when they do work they work awesome

anyways. i just wanted to point that small part of information out

RoyalSmokers make their own stuff, this is not the same company.

oh snap..... these CE3 are amazing and im ready to order some. i just hope the ones he gets in are the right ones. really nothing ive vaped in compares to how good these hit. hopefully he gets them in soon....
Anyone try totally wicked's CE3's??
The CE3's are currently out of stock, but they are inbound, just fund out last night while discussing GV issues with the B3 tank (the real name) that they dd NOT ship my order, so that's good and bad, good because I am not getting this crappy version of this tank and bad because my CE3 shipment was due.
now I am wondering.. what is being held in customs? :blink:


Also, the CE3's are not the same product that is being discussed above, as far as I know the CE3's have not been changed

I need help and I think only Eric can help me. I have been happily ordering sometimes several times a week and I now have an assortment of thor, vivi nova (both with and without airholes in the stem) and kanger t2's all with replaceable coils.

The problem is I have lost track of which is which. The pics on the site are not high res enough to allow me to sort out which is which in my plano organizer ( Amazon.com: Plano Molding 974 StowAway Organizer Rack: Home Improvement ) and I am spending hours testing with the multimeter and still finding some that look like they should fit that do not reach the center post on the original vivi nova and therefore do not work or show continuity or resistance when measuring each. The kanger heads look enough different as well as being way longer , that I can sort those easily. The same is true of the ce5+ and the vision stone3 innards. The rest both long and short wick are only different in the distance from the top of the threads to the bottom of the positive post. The current vivi nova pic shows very short wicks but the text says long wicks,

Can you post an id chart here or on the site to help me get them sorted into the correctly labeled slots in the tray?

The problem is keeping up, for me as well.

Kangers aren't labeled so I can't help with those, the CE5 and the Vision stone innards same thing.

The Universals have images that correspond to which one they are on the website and have measurements pictures with the caliper in the pic showing the size, you can determine it that way if you have a caliper. Also you can determine it by comparing the size, 2mm is not a lot, but up against each other it should be fairly easy to tell, also one has one fat and one skinny wick and the other has 4 wicks.
.
I do not know what the original Nova took because I didn't carry it, but I do know all the new heads I have fit what I carry (except for the mini) and the 2.5, there is a little leeway in the newer Vivi so it makes it easier.

The picture of the Vivi Nova is a generic picture from Vision, I haven't taken an updated picture. I realize this is a bad thing, I know I need to change it, sorry :( same for listing compatibility, they do not fit the older one (based on what you've said) so I need to update that as well.

As soon as I am out of this run of the universal I think I am going back to labeling them only for what they are used for exclusively because this is getting confusing and I'm not making it any better. I was trying to help by getting heads that would fit most items, it started out with the Thor and the Vision because they are the exact same item and the heads also fit the Vivi Nova and the new CE5 (not mine) but it seems like it just made it worse :(

I've already made my next order and only ordered ONE type of head coil to make it a bit easier and when they come in I will again make sure they fit everything it's listed for.


I'll see what I can do about making some sort of chart.

Eric, Please don't be upset or sad or bummed with doing the 'Universal' head thing. It was to help us & I myself appreciated that. :) You always listen to us and try to do the best for us the customer, we love you for that. Never feel bad or guilty.

Thanks :) that's good to hear.

I get so annoyed with these companies, they put out exactly the same thing but add a mm to the size or add a tiny cone to the head...and it isn't needed at all. When I got all the test heads in they were all the same pretty much, I even removed the coils and wick to make sure it was the same materials and winds, I picked two that I knew worked well and ran with it. The same crap GV is dealing with is what is happening a LOT now, I order a head, get it, looks good the next one I get is a tiny bit different arrgggg!

we should all put business aside and do something about this QC issue.

I am actually siting on 800 coil heads that are just a bit too long for anything and the sad thing is, some have dual coils!!
I can't even test them.

Eric, man, my heart goes out to you. I am sorry you are getting scroogied on stuff. Maybe there is some truth to the saying.... or whatever it is....; the guy who is the innovator paves the road for those that come after. Not sure how to word this, but what I am trying to say is selling the tried and true might be easier than trying to get all the cool new gadgets.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you trying new stuff so we can try it. But I want to see you make money.

You're so right about the QC issues ! Would be wonderful if we could all just drive over there and straighten them out wouldn't it ? :laugh::laugh: But we know that can't be done !! I really feel for you guys having to deal with that crap. I admire those who do & still keep it together.

On another note... those 800 heads... Is it possible to make a seperate catagory on your site for just 'odd ball' modding parts or something ? I know that some people create their own types of vaping gear from all different things. Maybe they'd sell and you wouldn't loose your shirt over that. Sell as is - no warranty type of thing ? Worth a try instead of sitting in a box on the shelf maybe :blink:

I've been saying for the past year that all you good guys need to get together and form a Trade Organization of some sort to develop & promote QC for hardware & juice. Look at all the good it's done for the UK so far (they have a trade org and a CASAA-type org too)! This will go a LONG way towards acceptance and keep the FDA off our backs, or at least keep it to a minimum.

That's just my :2c: :)

can they be used on the phoenix rebuildable atty clone or the smoktech vivi tank
might be worth a try

Hey guys. I am sorry if this has already been covered somewhere, but is there a way to clean the kanger T0s? If it has been covered just point me in the right direction.

The only thing I could figure out was to push down the plunger, fill them with water and drain out a few times.
