Hi there Badkolo.
Why would you mess with the Phoenix's? What, too cheap and too reusable to be profitable?
You nailed the carto. You perfected it and streamlined it. YOU, Badkolo, you did this. Why in the WORLD would you muck it up now?
Same thing happened to the Safires. First edition=PERFECT. Second edition=USELESS.
So a few whiners moaned that they leaked from the base after they dismantled it... how many times? And you caved to the vocal, high maintenance minority instead of sticking with what you KNEW was perfect. For shame. And it is a shame, because Phoenix (and the old safire) might
actually have given Phillip Morris a run for their money. The conspiracy theorist in me tingles at the possibilities there...
Now? Forget it. I can't give a battery and a box of Phoenix's to your average analog smoker and say, here, have fun. Not with some awful burned taste, forget it. Who in their right mind is going to kick cigs for a burned taste that sets your
throat on fire? No one, that's who.
Why also would you continue to advertise that they have a 1.5ml capacity when at most the old version held 1.2ml and the new version holds even less? That's flirting with being disingenuous, sir. Sound familiar?

You fill these cartos with that volume of liquid and it will dump all over your hand. So therefore, the Phoenix never did nor never will hold that much liquid.
Rant over. Peace/out Badkolo. Have fun my good friend.
