Vision Stones good when they work

[alfienoakes]

I have three Visions Stones with mixed success so far.
Appreciate any tips after gotvapes referred me here.

No.1 - Worked perfectly for 2 days now spitting, gurgling and leaking a bit.

No. 2 - Working perfectly (not used it much and not yet refilled)

No. 3 - Failed from the start - spitting, gurgling and leaking. Tried taking it apart but it was just the same. Took apart again then the post (?) poked through the bottom with a clear seal round it and in trying to push it back in managed to disconnect the wires.

Got one more not yet tried.
I've not over filled them and made sure every thing is tight.

Any ideas please before I give up and go back to cartos which are more fiddly but more reliable?

replying to my own thread.... first sign madness?

I've given up on these now, I don't understand how most other people think they are great. My No. 2 gave up the ghost and no amount of tinkering can get it back. Oh well back to the cartos for now. Will try the stardust when available.

i Want to say my experience was different. Want to but cant, pretty much same experience you had.

If you don't mind an experiment, please try as I did and in a private place because you'll look goofy, try vaping the gurgling ones WITHOUT the drip tip. Mine started gurgling a bit so I tried that....

I've thrown them all away now.

I got a stone tank II a few days ago, for one thing the cup seal was so loose on the cup it would twist around as i screwed on the top cap, lots of flooding and if i layed it down for a prolonged period of time it would leak.....i am assuming the liquid worked its way up the threads in the top? Its fate was decided though as I cleaned it out and noticed one of the wicks had been sliced nearly off, there was just one thread going into the coil! I am assuming the cup seal rubbing against the wick when i would put the cap back on cut the wick fibres.......other than that i enjoyed the vape i got from it LOL. not worth the money IMO

Yeah, I found it worked best to lubricate the cup seal with a bit of juice so it wouldn't spin when you screw on the top. You can rewick these, like all ce2 types if your coil is intact.

That would require digging through my garbage haha, maybe next time

Well if you do...peroxide soaks are GREAT

open a ticket with gotvapes, and if you are like me after getting the third response from them saying "try jiggling the cap a little", then just throw it away, write it off and reach for a carto.

 

[alfienoakes]

My ticket only got me a referral to this forum.

 

[therealcmac]

I am not really bothered by it, i have tried all kinds of new toys, some work some dont, that is why i only buy one at a time to test them out. Will i buy another stone? Maybe once some canadian vendors get them, i really did like the vape i got off them, will just have to make sure the cup is secured better.

Oh, snap! How would one go about rewicking a stone? I have extra wicks that I can use from the fluxos I killed.

It isn't especially easy, but it can be done...
