we held off the first batch because while some where perfect , others had issues and we ran into them, so we waited until they where improved, i tested the new one and now they are being shipped out, there is nothing stopping gotvapes form carrying every single product out there, but in order to make sure we get better products we turn many down and rather wait until they are improved.


Just remember to carry things in 808d1 threading as i don't want to have to start over just yet with my hardware,,i have spent way more on these then i ever did smoking .

i have had good luck with their ce3s,,,but maybe i have a lucky star over my credit card.

i like your name for them,,,such a secret,,,LOL
Gotvapes had them long before those other guys had them.
They were involved in the design process so the've got the exclusive on the new updated design too.

But I agree, it does get confusing when there are multiple names for essentially the same thing. Those other guys also like to give secret names to their products.

say roland how come ya never told me about these new XL bottom coil ?

do we call em ce3s also ?

anyway i ordered 2 boxes of them to nite ..

I could have sworn I mentioned them to you, maybe I'm getting more feeble that I think I am. I think you'll like them, they're easily as good as a CE3.

my first ce3s were bought from GV in early july,,because of mroutlaw talking them up so much,,i have never been disappointed in them like i was with the nano/nono.

but i will buy them anywhere i can get them,,i have no vendor loyalty,,i just want good products no matter who is selling them,,it is called capitalism ,

I agree that the Phoenix XL (CE3) is a much better product than that other conpany's "nano".

(Folks, don't get what the other company calls the "nano" confused with what Gotvapes has dubbed "vision extreme nano". They are entirely different products)

Whenever possible, I prefer to stick with the guys that go above and beyond to bring me a product that I can use and enjoy. Vendor loyalty feeds vendor participation, which feeds innovation, which results in better products. That's capitalism, too :)

Wondering if I'm a complete idiot here or not... I watched the videos showing how to clean these, where you were just tapping it on the table to make the inner post fall out. I've tried two different ones now where the post seems pretty much completely stuck. To the point were I used a pair of pliers to try and get a good grip and pull them out, only to completely warp the top part of the inner post and ripping a tear in it from the force. The post still didn't move an inch. Did I miss something? :confused:

I've noticed that the air tubes in the "reborns" seems much tighter that the CE3s from SI. I've taken the five I have apart and remove the air tube once the outer barrel is off, so it's much easier. They are definitely on there pretty tight, though. Incidentally, I took them apart to swap out the air tubes with longer ones from CE3s to increase their capacity, not because of any problem or needing to clean them. They work really well for me!

Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it, your results and mileage may vary, no warrantee or guarantee is expressed or implied.

I am not even sure how to remove the tubing, it seems to be on there just as tight as the post. So for me these are kinda hard to clean, and a bit of a nuisance all together. Still haven't been able to test them enough to say anything about their performance, but in the two refills I've done the flavor has been very muted, and I'm not a fan of how loud they are in use. Right now I don't see any reason to buy more of these when there are easier, cheaper and much better alternatives.

I have a battery that is kind of "toast" that I use for a handle. Just put the Phoenix on it, grab the tube firmly with a good grip on the battery, and wiggle and pull until the outer tube comes off. If there's any liquid left in it it's a good idea to do that over a sink with the drain covered in case anything falls off from the effort.

That's what I do. And I think it's a good idea until bits fly off the PBC and into my garbage disposal. A good pair of long hemostats come in handy. :)

I bought 6 boxes of these to prefill for my trip to Vegas. It seems like there is a lot of inconsistency in flavor production with these new ones. I filled multiple "units" with the same flavors and each one had it's own degree of flavor production. Maybe it's just me? I think I like the older ones better; never had a single problem with them so I'm not sure why they were rebuilt in the first place.
