A few points:
First, BigScreenD could have been a lot worse. I thought his wording was appropriate and likely quite accurate based on my experience with this item. I wrote a few replies last night and kept deleting them because I don't want to be a part of the negativity. I think there's a line and BSD didn't come close to crossing it. Being told how we should post is not likely to be constructive in the end. It's more likely to spread animosity and bad feelings.
Second, I've tried vaping without the plug, releasing pressure by taking the plug out and putting it back in, blowing through it, taking primer puffs, vaping while tilting it, holding it vertically, different pg/vg ratios, different nic levels, different juice colors, tobacco flavors, dessert flavors, sour flavors, hot flavors, fruity flavors, different voltages from 3.0 to 4.8, took the whistle tip off. I'll admit, I haven't tried using it while doing a hand-stand but I think that would be redundant at this point.
My bottom line is: If the item requires that I do this much to try to make it work, even if it does work in the end, it's not a carto that should be sold. The goal should be to carry units that are as fiddle-free as possible. This just doesn't qualify, in my opinion.
Third, I asked this earlier but it probably got lost in the shuffle. If this uses a vacuum, it shouldn't leak through the tip if turned upside down, right? If that's the case, then this thing has a huge fault in that area.
I noticed the Alpha page doesn't have these listed anymore. Is it because there will be no more testing or because GV is outta stock and isn't expecting any more shipments? I think taking them off the list is a good move, regardless of the reasons behind it.
