Is there a solution in the pipeline for these? I'm seeing, at most, one week out of the cart. The batteries are fine and not the problem. I just had one die on me about an hour ago. I'm tired of paying for poorly QA'd products.

I really want to like these things because they produce such good flavor and hit so well but between the constant leaking, dead atty's and such I can't bring myself to purchasing any more of them if they last less than a week.

they are working on them and that should be sent to me to be tested during the week. ill keep everyone updated

thanks.

I'm probably going to disassemble one of the dead carts and see where the fault is. I'm also wondering if the gasket just isn't sealing the juice in and causing the leaks.

Is there any thought given to a spring loaded contact point on either the batt or the cart? Seems to me this would solve one minor problem with the contact points pushing against each other.

so i just got my turbine today seems to have some wicking issues tried the fixes so let see how it works. but that is not why i am here. GotVapes you should provide a breakdown of repairing the turbine, or with the over all size of it we should be able to have some kind of end user repair on the coil. I for one would pay three or four times what I did to have one that I was able to fix if it burnt out.

I am having major difficulty with my turbine. I haven't had a hit that wasn't dry or burned... I cleaned and dry burned it and have the mouthpiece aligned properly. I even flooded the heck out of it to make sure the coil was wet. It might have gotten one okish hit after that then straight back to acrid. My throat is killing me trying to get this going. Also juce is getting into the air passage gurgling and sucking up into my mouth. Seems like with that happening the coil should have some juice in it...right? What can I do here? I love the guys at gotvapes and don't think this shows poorly on them or even the turbine I just don't understand the problem here. It seriously seems like the coil isn't connected to the wicking material at all or something.

Any updates? I'm on my last one and the previous one gave it up after 2 days which works out to about $6.50/day, pretty bad.

Can you list the improvements made to these? I have to think carefully about this since the other large capacity carts I have last 2 weeks and at $2.50 per cart they are a much better value than these. Granted the flavor is wonderful with these but not 5 times better.

thanks

Day 7 on this one. :D Some probs getting air locked at first but not any more. (Had to remove tank to let some air in often)
and it is my opinion that the unit it still pulling power after I stop pressing the batts button.
I'm sure it get even hotter once I'm done vaping from time to time. May be what is killing units. I remove the piece form the batt if the temperature keep climbing. 1 leaky moment to count (Locked tank in tight to fix), So far so good.... hope that helps and I'm not crazy.

Adrena you should let off the button about a second or so before you finish your drag - my epower stays on for about a sec after you let go of the button. I dont have a turbine, and it might not matter with this idk, but with my devices I would get more condesation and gunk because there would still be extra vapor left in it. For me if I let off the button a bit early then it gives the extra time for the coil stop and cool while there is still air flowing it... And if you just vape a constant cloud like I do everything gets hot. I even have had clears get a bit warm after some hard use lol
Hope this helps a little :vapor:
