Just for everyones info on the charger turning blue from red...don't pay too much attention to the charger...just look for the LED to turn off...the charging system control on most of the E-cigs are in the e-cig itself...so it's really not that important that the charger itself turns color....if you see the LED off on the battery....it's good to go....LoriK was right about not being too concerned about chargers turning colors...it's really not important....and thanks to you all for the valuable feedback...we do appreciate your taking the time to help us out...Cheers!! Bill
Maybe it is a splash guard, but try it w/out all that stuff. It vapes much better IMHO.
I have asked Bill for a specific reply to this issue. I will post it one time and then I hope we can put the cartomizer issue to rest. When I have the time to get my tech
thread done I will be posting the details of carto specs and how they interact with the battery etc. Until then this is my official notice that I will no longer be responding to carto issues in this
thread.
From my experience, LiIon batts need to go
through a few cycles before they reach their full potential. I have noticed it get much better now on the third charge.
yes...what he said.....
I've received answers to all my posts with questions or problems. You are really good about that. When I posted about the juicy carts, the general consensus was that they were drawing on them too hard and sucking juice into the hole. So they have been drawing really slow. One of the girls really loves the SS but switched to an old 510. I'm pretty sure she switch back now that I know about blowing on the thread end. BTW if one blows too hard, is there a possibility that they will blow juice through the fiber up into the top of the carto?
ah...that is the point....to let the extra juice drip out of the carto...on to a tissue or papertowel.
re: the numbers. No numbers anywhere. I ordered Regular Low Black. I pulled out a regular medium from a different order and they have numbers. But this order that gave me a numb tongue... no numbers at all. I looked at an older carto that has also had some juice problems. Number is J052ms Another new one out of another box is S293H. So I can find the numbers but the batch of Black ones that I ordered with the PitBull do not have any numbers.
I will pass this on to Bill...thank you.
I know what you mean about autos. I have one auto without a cutoff. I think it's the cutoff I don't like. If it didn't have a cutoff so I could decide how long my puff would be I would probably like autos okay. That and the going off in your pocket thing. The Pitbull doesn't seem to have that problem though.
THE AUTO SWITCH>>>>>this is the answer to ALL questions about the draw.....
what most of you people are used to using is a battery with a microphone switch. This switch uses sound to activate the battery. They are cheap....that is why other batteries are cheaper than ours. OUR battery uses a vacuum switch....it responds to the force of air coming into the battery from the tip where the LED light is. The PB is longer....therefore YES it will require slightly more suction to move the air the greater distance making the draw a little tighter or harder than our shorter batteries. This is also why you can not accidentlly activate our batteries....and why other batteries are set off by wind,loud noises etc.
I am really trying to figure this out.... I am comparing the PB to the Pink SS, the Hendu & a V4L 808 Reg. length battery (808.. I still have to do a side by side on....).... I am really preferring the PB to the hendu & pink SS... the draw, the cut-off time & the vapor.. Not saying that there is anything wrong with the Hendu or the Pink SS... I really like them both... Just saying that if the 3 are in front me ... I would most likely grab the PB 1st. It most likely has to do with the cut off time...
There is no difference between the PB and any other SS battery...same switch...same instructions on the IC chip....the only difference is the length which like I explained above will effect the draw. I am thinking it is an illusion related to this that is making people think they have a different cutoff time or have a different switch than the Hendu. I also think....but will ask Bill to be sure....that the extra length and airflow is what is effecting the carto performance some of you are noticing.
Maybe .. humm.. I think that it really compares more to the 808 that I am using to compare. In my opinion.. Bill you are onto something here with the PB & would suggest (lol... my humble opinion obviously) that you look into the manufacturing of this more.. I know that I would keep coming back for more!!! I know personally, I would love to see a manual version offered as well.
I quote my Liege...."that will never happen....ever". Manual switches are a PITA...period. And our regular customers would never buy them. As for "looking in to the manufacturing...." I can almost hear Bill laughing now.....yes Raven....he is looking in to it.
Thanks to you people in part he has already made several changes to address the issues you have identified. The second production run will be different from this one. Before you ask...no....I dont know what his plans are for testing the updated PB's or if he even will. You'll be the first to know once I know....
Obviously, I need more time to really give honest, side by side comparisons but I am so far... really liking the PB.
again...to quote my Liege...."try to get them to compare apples to apples"
This is why we are offering you the $15 deal on colored bejeweled batteries....stay tuned.
Side Note - The orange LED stays lit while charging, but then suddenly turns off out of nowhere while still being charged. Also, I like these cartos, but they don't have any flavor (Tobacco medium). Throat hit doesn't really exist, but it is a nice smooth and mellow draw. I think LR atomizers built my TH tolerance up a built.
now I'm laughing....no offense....yea....LR attys will do that....again....our cartos are geared towards you average person who has never even used an e-cig before....
I ordered one box of cartos - regular, high - so had five carts. The first had the little filter paper circle right under the mouth tip - on top of the two rings. Second cart had the little filter between the rings. Third cart had no filter and the center straw up between the two rings. All three of the first ones have a sticky kind of adhesive residue around the bottom just above the threads. As I ordered the Hendu carts, I'm assuming that these at one time had another color wrapped on it.
dont assume anything....that is not correct. It wouldnt make any sense business wise to put on a sticker and then take it off. I want you to send those back to me personally...because I can't imagine what your talking about. If you dont mind that is...after you have used them is fine. I just need to see this for myself. I will replace them for you.
A question about the carto filler...mine fills a little more than half the carto. Is this normal? I've noticed people getting a huge number of drops in when they refill...any more than 12 or so and it's running out the bottom. I know we're battery testing here but inquiring minds....
now I am laughing!!!!! because my initial response was going to be...yea...and those are the people who will be calling me crying because their battery stopped working. Then I kept reading....and see that that is exactly what happened.
OK, on that note. This is most likely a PCC issue, but when I charged the PB w/ a "Smoking Anywhere" PCC, the LED never shut off, but the PCC turned green. IS the charger sending a signal to the PB to shut off the LED? Or is the PCC bunk(I only paid $5, so it won't hurt my feelings if it is).
If I understand Bill's answers correctly the answer is no....the charger does not send a signal to the battery. The IC chip in the battery is what gives the control. So yes....it's probably the PCC....for $5 you got what you paid for. And that is the reason we dont sell one....I know it is something Bill is working on.....but he isn't going to offer one until he is sure it will be of sufficient quality.
