If they came with carts I used those, if they didn't I just found ones that fitted Raggy. Just a thought, but how about asking about this on Eastmall's ECF forum . . . www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/eastmall-ecigarette/Di is very helpful and friendly, plus you'd have the benefit of a large number of buyer experiences with them. thanks perpy i will have a go at that, ive been practicing my chinese lingo for some time now, i will have too check the right numbers for ATTYS and CARTS though. i know 13 means hong kong special ribs and 134 is house special chow mein so it wont be too hard to work out  . Yes Raggy, I stuffed the blank cart that came attached to them (just to make that clear they where standard 901's from Greenhouse.) They were the "D" shaped carts & they melted in exactly the same place as in your pic. does seem odd that these D shaped carts gave you the same problem though. raggy....... |

I honestly don't know what to say to you Raggy  . . . hand on heart, I've had no problems at all with any of the EM LR901's I've bought. Have had 3 seperate batches from them, the first lot I bought before I joined the forum, then the last two lots have been on the orders I've organised . . . none of which have given a problem on the GGTB, or any other mod I've got. I do mainly drip or use the Smart Carts nowdays - but even with the supplied carts, when they've come that way, I haven't had a problem.  So sorry, truly I don't know what to say to you . . . but I completely understand your frustration, I'd be the same. I've also not had any problems with the EM LR901 atties - O am also mainly using drip tips with them though. However, I have been having almost identical problems with the standard 901's from Greenhouse - I use them @ 5v on my GDPT. I'm thinking you may have hit the nail on the head though Raggy & it is the carts causing a problem. I've just changed to also using a drip tip on my PT & an atty out of the same batch of 901's has lasted about a week so far - massive improvement to the ones I used carts on. did you girls have or use the carts supplied from eastmall. the only thing at the minute that is stopping me believing it is the carts is that you would think that by now there would been someone with a lot more knowledge than me would have picked up on it. up until now i have only used the EM carts on the new batch. anyway fingers crossed. raggy......... |

below are some pics of the attys, showing the differences. they means nothing to me but may to some of you. the new batch is on the left in all photos, the right ones are from a previous batch, this is the batch kindly supplied via eastmall from knawes and not the first batch supplied by perpy (i didnt get any 901s on that order), so there around 8 to 9 months old.       the ones on the left are the ones dying very after at best just over 1 week at worst a few hours, they do not fade, they just die. the carts ive been using from eastmall are no longer than any others i have but the single vent hole does cut/come in a lot further towards the centre than the twin vent type, i have also just today noticed that with the old batch of attys nearly all other carts were very loose which was why i bought some. however it seems that with the latest batch many of my old carts are a fairly good fit. not that any of that info was of any great use too anyone but i thought i would share it  raggy......... i would just like to point out this is not a moan or gripe about the attys, ggtb or the carts. the attys were as cheap as chips and there great till they stop and the ggtb is fantastic, its just bloody aggravating when you know its not the atties ( no one else is having problems) you know the ggtb is working just as it should, i just hope these carts are the problem. raggy........... |

if cart melts, the plastic may stuck to the wire of the atty and they die. If your atties from the new batch stay alive as the older ones when you put a new shorter cart then this may be an explanation rag thanks imeo, hopefully it is something as simple as this. has anyone who bought carts or who had carts attached to there LR 901S from EASTMALL noticed anything like the 2 posts above picture. raggy. |

ok i have switched to the old batch and used the atty for 3 weeks. it is still fine but on its way to dying. i swapped onto the new batch on sunday and it died tonight after i put a new battery. strangely yesterday i noticed a slight burring to the cart, this was a new cart on sunday and was supplied on the atty.  as you can see it looks burnt. i used the same cart type on the old batch with no problem. could my problem be not the atty or the GGTB but the carts are wrong for carts for these attys. im now using a different cart on the new batch of attys to try to see if it is the problem. as ive said already nobody else seems to be having major problems with this batch and im not sure if everyone got carts supplied with theres. i bought carts this time but the attys also came with carts on, last time they didnt. i am assuming in many ways that this cant be the problem because the failure rate would be very high for everyone. any comments peeps. raggy...... |

thanks prof and mr limbo,
ive been using a whole piece of foam all day today and it seems ok at minute.
if you place it between tweezers you can get it in no problem.
i have other foams but they all have bigger holes.
if it dont work out i will try some fluval, fluvals very good but needs a bit more faffing about with, the foam is just a put it in and it works product, well it was with thicker juices.

yes scylla its from Strictly EJuice.
the problem is im getting mouth juice and slightly flooded atties once a day or so, whereas used to get it once a week.
im also having to wipe the cart every 2 refills or so.
i could go back to fluval no2 or has anyone used the pre filler filled carts from eastmall, i could try that.
just wondered if anyone else is on pg juice and what there using.
raggy.........

whats said to be the best filler for pg or peg.
im using the proper real foam that arrived in small squares from america.
im finding that as pg is a lot runnier the foam tends to not hold it as well as it does with 50/50 mixes.
i am only using just over half a square not as much as 2/3s

I wish I was a direct as you guys. I feel frightened inside when I have to complain, and mincing one's words usually ends up causing more offence than blasting at them would. And I don't get anywhere either  scylla scylla, i sometimes feel guilty about how fierce i get with them, but experience tells me that is the only way they listen. stay polite (not always possible) but be firm and dont shift from what you know is right. 9/10 times i get whats right, if i dont i cause them enough grief that they wish they had just dealt with it. ive always had a be in my bonnet about this sort of thing. the thing is im an unlucky buyer i always have been, many things i buy has something wrong with it from new houses to tins of anchovies. i provide a service in my trade and im a total pain for only doing it right, i lose many quotes as i wont half do a job. and i expect the same when someone provides me with goods or a service. i do think that ecigs are a bit of a strange one though, its not regulated so you have no reference point for some complaints, apart from the distance and sale of goods act. that all said you do get punters who just want to take the mick, so i do see there initial reaction of tough luck as acceptable sometimes. raggy....... |
