Trash? What is this trash you speak of? :/
I look at crappy hardware as an opportunity to make something better!
Actually, I finally have started throwing away my old cartos since there is no way I will ever need all those tubes and connectors!

Salky

Did you get these? Any ideas for something that can be done? I thought about ripping the filler out and seeing if there was something that could be done to make them usable.

I know.... I'm slowly learning that none of this stuff should EVER go in the trash. But I'm not much of a fiddler.. If it doesn't work it goes in the little compartment in my toolbox reserved for that day when I accidently run out of the Cartos I do like (like that's ever going to happen!). Those that come with the rocket though, likely won't even use in an emergency.

I just rec'd my 2 Scorpions that I ordered Sunday, along with a short wick eGo Stardust. One Scorpion is cracked all around the top and I didn't have to even opened the wrapper to see it. The package was well protected with bubble wrap envelope and another bubble wrap pouch. I'm pretty confident this wasn't from shipping. It was either shipped that way or heat during shipping was unbearable for it. Bad/Danno, do you guys have extra tubes? I can send a pic or even send this back so you can verify I've never used it, not even close. I will still try the other, but very worried about the quality before its even unwrapped.

Haven't come up with anything yet for the crappy cartos, been trying to figure out these darn Scorpions. I might just try to pop the ends out and use the tube for a cheap CE2 tank. The bottom connector could be used for something in the future. I just dont see a way to remove the filler and/or make it useful as it is. Another one of those 'if it worked it would be kinda cool due to the capacity' type deals.

If I come up with anything I will let you know Tina and all.

After work tonight, I mod....bwaaahaaahaaa!

I understand what you're saying, and yes the coil is technically a circuit, but it will pull as much current as the battery will allow it to until the coil eventually pops, but that's a lot of current with these coils. I know the Rocket is not a buck/boost device. That was the point to my original post is that the Rocket is so much nicer because it doesn't use the boost circuit. Frankly I think we're all dancing around the same ideas. We're just wording everything differently.



Well I can agree that the Rocket is a nice device. Have not had it long, but totally happy so far. I see only two minor things I would pass back to the manufacture so far. 1. adjust the top so 510 is flush, and 2. Tweak the mold or the QC a bit, so the seams down the side is tight. For the top I just added a 510 shorty and it works great. Looks like it came that way. For the 2nd, I am not to bothered, just helpful feed back to improve the product.

So just two days into using it, but a winner so far in my eyes. Now to see long term use.

Totally agree! They suck. I've tried similar ones and was pretty sure they were going to be awful so used juice I didn't mind losing. And yeah, in the trash it went.

I immediately took the drip tips and gave the supplied tank thingys to my son. He like it because it was free, and I got 2 black drip tips. Win Win.

OK two things happened to me today with my rocket. The first one might have been user error but someone else check it out and see if it happens to you. I was using the 5 click off and got it off but then the sucker would not go back on. It displayed the --- signs but would not vape or show a voltage ODD

The second thng happened twice. I changed out the batteries and even though they were freshly charged the rocket would not respond...I removed them and tried again and it worked. This same sequence happened twice today ODD I am sure the bottom cap was on correctly....soooo I don't know.....anyone else have this happen. I will keep an eye on it and report back . So far The Rocket ROCKS

yeah I like it !!
the tank is just a little "berry-ier" in color but not by much I only notice it in BRIGHT light ...
tank adds some weight too but not too much IMO .

took me a few minutes to figure out how to gauge how much liquid is in tank :blink:
but a dry toothpick used kinda like a "dip-stick" works pretty good :D

Hmmmm...may have to order a red tank cover.... :D

You know what else I like about this rocket? The way it sits in my hand with the curved part behind my thumb...really nice grip on this.

tina it is not a tank cover,it is an actual metal tank !! NO POSSIBILITY OF CRACKING !!YAY !
