THE Phoenix Line is here & up for SALE. both phoenix xl & 3ml tank version,bottom coil, 2 ohms for both

[taxman32]

So here's a question that I haven't seen anywhere, the Xl's come with a soft drip tip, is it possible to buy some as relacements?
I was afraid I'd lose mine and of course I did. I really like the feel!

i think they are sending more of those, if not ill remind them today

Bonnie. That's why I prefer to file crescents in the air-tube if more juice needs to let in rather than thin the wick. Completely adjustable and totally reversible if needed.

Yes, I would have liked to have been able to do that, but I don't have the tools for it. Unless there's one in my husband's leathernman that can do it, but I'm pretty clueless about this stuff. I wouldn't mind trying to re-wick it, but I wouldn't know where to begin. I have no idea how to get the wick out or get another one in! I do have plenty of spare wicks from old cartos, though.

I just tried my first Phoenix yesterday, and what a steam engine. my recently just purchase of 4 cases of Boge's is now collecting dust.

Wow..Steeljan, Rockn'Rob, & Vapor Joe weren't kidding on these bad boys...I think a case of 50 is in order... If the Rev 2 version of the ViVi performs anywhere near these, then a Big Kudos is in order...

Did you happen to take it apart and clean it first. Just curios, tried one for the first time yesterday and has an awful burnt taste.

Phoenix XL are still going strong here, can't wait to try out the newer Phoenix 3ml tank.

on a side note because the title of this thread is for both phoenix xl & 3ml tank version it be nice if when people post about one or the other they would let us know what product they are posting about, just saying

I have both sizes and there's honestly not much of a difference to me. But it can be confusing, I agree.

No, I was thinking about it, but just ran with it out of the box. These are the 1.5ml units. I myself cant wait to try the 3ml version. I am very impressed. On the 3rd refill, and no issues. My ceramic rope should be arriving soon, and am looking forward to re-wicking & coiling when they finally get gunked up. Rebuilding the stardusts is a major pain in the $%&...

I did notice with these, that you have to draw on it pretty steadily and semi hard in order to not get a burnt taste, unlike a Boge carto. I personally dont mind this a bit.
I just used a standard eGO batt so far. If I set my Provari to below 3.7V, then I get a E1 error. Mine are the 2.4 to 2.6 Ohm versions. I am very suprised at the flavor and vape these thing put out on a regular eGO batt...simply amazing considering all my Boges are 2.0.

Nirvana is knocking at the door..Let em' in !!

Intersting. Opened a couple more up, and I can visually see small droplets in the tube and the wicks looked wet. From the smell of the tube, its what I'm tasting. I cleaned one, and it seems better, but still a bit of lingering nasty taste. I'm curious what exactly does a dry hit taste like?

 

[bigpman]

I'm sorry if someone already posted an answer to this, I just do not have time to go through 121 pages of this thread today.

My first XL started to flood after the 3rd refill. I have pulled it apart, cleaned it and let it dry. When I put the tube back on I noticed hairline fractures on the bottom of the tube. I don't think that they will leak, as I have not seen any juice coming through the cracks (they are really tiny). However, I am still getting the flooding. This kills the vapor and TH and also causes my asthma to kick in (something about inhaling PG or VG that has not been vaporized properly). I used a 70pg/30vg blend, so the e-liquid is not that thick.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and how have to solved it? something to make the holes where the wicks are smaller?

I am going to try my second XL today and see how that one does...

I see that same liquid in the tube, but I always pull my clearos apart and clean them good before use. This kills any impurities that might be in there from the factory. I don't want someone else's germs, that put these things together, in my lungs

 

[Cyrus Vap]

The things I'm colonized with from schooling/working in a hospital for years would eat those germs ALIVE LOL

flesh eating bacteria anyone?

 

[bigpman]

Chinese QC really stinks!! There'sa HUGE crack in my brand new XL!!

 

[bigpman]

Noooo thanks!!! LOL!!

[Cyrus Vap]

does the crack actually run the full thickness of the tube?

my tubes look like crap, but they never leak at all. I get leaking through the battery connector after it sits on my desk for a day or so. nothing huge just a drop or so.

 

[bigpman]

If I look into the tube, I can see the crack on the inside. However, if I plug one end of the tube and blow air into it from the other end, there is no air loss. So, it should still hold the pressure, I hope....

I'll know in a few more minutes, it's getting a bath right now

 

[cthompson116]

One of mine looks exactly the same, I think its more of a scratch then a crack. Mine does not leak.

 

[bigpman]

I know that the tube on the XL is thinner and more clear than the one that comes on the fluxo, but I think I prefer the fluxo tube. There are no cracks on any of my fluxos and I have taken them apart many many times and even dropped them. I would be willing to sacrifice the thickness for a better tube.

 

[bigpman]

No leaky! Great vapor and TH, just like the first one had on the first two refills. I'll let everyone know in a day on how the third refill goes.
