So today I got my order from GotVapes. I ordered 2 packs (10 phoenix) and 1 Grande tank.

First impression of the phoenix were *hmmm they are pretty small but looks nice*. So the the phoenix comes with 5 phoenix carts, a syringe and 2 filling needles. Without any mods I went ahead and filled the cart with some rootbeer juice I had that i didnt care for. I gave it 2 mins to soak in the juice and primer puffed about 10 times then took a drag....... Draw was a bit airy for my taste, but it did have a good taste of rootbeer and my god the vapors it was huge. These are little fog machines, good taste, no leaks and impressive. I loaded up 3 more carts with different juices *cantalope, menthol and Boba's Bounty (i know i know its too thick)*, it seems that the taste was very mute on both the cantalope and the menthol (menthol was smooth and i do have the cooling effects of menthol) but the boba was just not good (yes i know).
:evil:Over all
Good:
Works out of the box, No leaks, easy to fill, fast break in time, massive vapors, good taste (depends on juice), no dry hits, and durable.
Neutral: Thoat hit was ok and Cool vapors
Bad: Airy draws very airy draws and 1.5ml is kinda small since these eat juice like its almost free
Recommendation: It works and does what it said it does, 11 bux for 5 phoenix is a pretty good deal to try. I think they are ok worth a try (gave one to my friend and he loves it he isnt into Thoat hits).

First impression of the Grande *hmmm looks nice but looks smaller then I thought, hope this works with Boba's Bounty*. So the grande came in a small box with only the unit it self, looks nicer then the pictures on the site. Without any mods I went ahead to fill the tank with some Boba's bounty (Only ordered 18ML and im running low so I only used like 2ml for testing), rolled the tank around slowly to let the wicks get some juice on them. Rolled around maybe 3mins or so before I atempted to primer *....... Nothing......wtf ..... no my juice .....no..... tried again .... nothing. :ohmy: noooooo ... wait let me tighten a bit more maybe maybe..... took a small last atempt vape .... small vapors came out .... YES ...YES .... ok time to primer*. Took about 10 hits then took a draw ....... OMG :blink: magical. Full Flavor. Took 3 consecutive hits ..... heaven YES super awesome. Look down ..... to the tank .... saw some juice up top where its not suppose to be .... *BY THE GODS Noooo cant be*. Took of the Tip to look, blah blah blah blah turns out the rubber piece was sitting too close to the wicks so i had to pull it up a bit and no more leaks. Filled the whole tank with Boba's Bounty and im super happy with it.
:evil:Over all
Good:
Works with Boba's Bounty, Works out of the box, No leaks (with very minimal adjustment), easy to fill, fast break in time, massive vapors, good taste, no dry hits, and durable.
Neutral: Thoat hit was ok, Tip gets abit warm when vaping and abit airy
Bad: ...... It works with Boba's Bounty ..... nothing bad can be said about this
Recommendation: Love it, will get more. Its on sale for 9 dollars try one.

Tested on a 1000mah Ego and Madvapes VV box with indicator

Yeah, the Phoenix XL is good, I ordered a 3ml Phoenix too, but haven't fired it up yet. But nothing I've tried to date can top the power of the mighty Grande! I wil ALWAYS make sure I have Grandes on hand. Once you break em in, no dry hits, mad vapor, flavor...I thought it was gonna clean my house the other day, its that awesome!!
