If your having probs with the Turbine here's a couple tips.If you get a dry burnt hit take out the tank & check the hole in the bottom.The juice seems 2 form a barrier in the hole sometimes.Give it a quick burst blow untill its gone then reseat the tank and whalla hits like a champ.2nd prob if your not getting a good hit take the tank out and align the air chamber with the other side of the atomizer.One side of my atomzer hits alot better than the other side.I'm really liking this Turbine.

HI Grey...no as Chris stated we had trouble a few weeks back on some things...its all good...the thread was locked as obviously you had just made a mistake and had posted in GOTvapes, not MADvapes...we can't move the posts so its common for Chris or I to lock out threads for discussion so as not to cause any confusion : )


I accidentally posted a thank you in the wrong forum, Oddball. I do believe he (or she) is affiliated with GotVapes because the thread was locked (understandable) and, instead of a PM or the ability to answer in that thread, I was attacked here by the same person.

No problem. I'll sell my Turbines to someone who would like to futz with them or take them apart. I *was* willing to stick with it until I fixed it or new ones came out, but there's not a snowball's chance in hell of that happening, now.

I'm into vaping to stay quit. Not interested in niche market politics.

Good luck with your Turbines, and watch how you "complain"; you may be called a spammer and be treated like crap on top of it.

all posts from those 2 posters where removed plus yours because it contianed of the persons posts, your post itself was fine and we can add that part back if youd like.

Don't bother BK. I wish you had read my post and just looked past it. A bull in the china shop approach to forum management won't win you any fans.

I got my turbine yesterday and had a great evening blowing out vast plumes of vapor at a party, got home and put the eGo-T battery on the charger and this morning hooked everything back up and egad! it stopped working, however it worked with an old 510 battery i had sitting around, looking closer, it seems the center contact pin of the atomizer got pushed in past the rubber ring and wasn't making contact, so i took a flathead jeweler's screwdriver, stuck it between the rubber and center pin and i was able to pull it back up a bit and it worked fine afterward

Unfortunately, mine has developed spontaneous leaks. Works great and all of the sudden I pick it up and it's soaked with juice. :(


You too eh? I got myself a couple of Piper attys (same thing). They are both the gen 2 attys and tanks - slightly different design.

The first atty had a serious burnt taste to it, even after rinsing it out and trying all over again. The other works great, but It leaks like crazy from time to time. Other times it works perfectly. Very frustrating, because it is GREAT when it works.

It will leak out of both the atomizer end that connects to the battery, and sometimes where the tank is inserted.. Not reliable, so it seems I'll be going back to my smart carts... I was really hoping this was IT..

Maybe it works better with the complete Piper Kit, as they were designed to fit perfectly onto THAT battery... Has anyone picked up a full kit to see?

nice catch!!! you just turned a scathing review (i had 3 of 4 quit within just a few tanks) into just disappointment. Obviously these need to go back to the drawing board, and i hope they do, cause when these things work they are the best thing going...period. your trick worked on two of them. the first one i used too much force on and i think i broke the connection under the pin, more careful with the other two and now all working. However, this is bound to get looser and easier to get pushed in to far too often.
Next...

Yes this is what Ive been saying....The silicone gasket is cheap and is not stiff enough to hold the center pin in the proper place....It caused my ego to short out when the gasket ripped. My Turbine lasted 2 days.... This seems like a easy fix and Gotvapes should look into properly fixing the issue instead of acting like its not a problem. I will never buy another Turbine again as long as this is a problem. Kinda sux cuz I really enjoyed the Turbine for the 2 days it did work. As for my broken ego....The place I got it from replaced it without question....Now thats good CS

Well, it seems the complaints about the turbines dying has, well, died off. Just had my second one die on me this morning. I was using it for about 7 days and it gave up. I checked the contact on the atty and it was making contact with the battery so that isn't the problem. The other one that died after 3-4 days did the same thing.

I'm really disappointed with this. I'd trade having to refill more often for at least a semi-reliable device.

we have had a long talk with the factory, we are looking at 2 things to have redesigned if possible, a new pin with new gasket and they are still looking as to why some might stop working, once those 2 things are worked on and improved ill keep everyone informed if those are possible.

MONDO::This seems like a easy fix and Gotvapes should look into properly fixing the issue instead of acting like its not a problem.

its looks like a easy fix but actually isnt since we are depending on a company in china to do the fixing. If we ran the factory these issues wouldnt exist but like all vendors that buy fromchina know problems arise but just like a select few in this business, we dont back away and continue to have products we believe in improved as much as we can, the turbine blows away many products but obviously some are having issues and we will do what is feasibly possible to have them improved.

We have never said there isnt a problem, we cant determine of there is a true problem until its in many people hands in the real world. There is only so many i can test, if i test 30 peaces and find one with a problem, thats not enough to start calling something a issue especially after testing dozens and dozens of other products that are still sold today and those products have more issues then the ones i test. So once the feedback comes back and thats sorted out form which are actual issues, which are user error(many), which are actual doa, which are people trying to con us and so on. Then and only then can we determine what the actual issues are and what we need to try to have improved.
