Hi All,

Finally cracked open my SCC yesterday and have been using it for about a day now, thought I'd better leave my opinions as I asked for everyone elses. Definately agree about it being less exhasiting on hte battery, seems to last a lot longer before the vapour thickness seems to taper off a bit and I change batteries, but as other people said now have 4 batteries sent through by TW and I cant see me running out of charge any time soon!

I find the vapour to be a good consistency as long as I take a very slow draw, but have noticed the atomiser seems to flood very easily and I get that gurgling sound and a lot less vapour if I get a bit over enthused when inhaling. When it does flood like this, it is very difficult to get the atomiser to burn it off, which wasnt the case with the dual coils, I assume one less coil and the higher resistance have something to do with this.

Another observation is that the wadding inside the carto does not seem to be as absorbant as the wadding in the other cartos I have used from totally wicked, have had liquid in my mouth a couple of times over the last day, which is not something I normally expect with a fresh carto. Also, when I first primed it with liquid it seemed to be full striaght away, when I usually find I can put about 2ml in other cartos before it is saturated. Can anyone confirm if the wadding is different or they have experienced it too? It could well just be my imagination!

On the whole I am pleased with the SCC on the vapour consistency and battery life fronts.... friends of mine who are considering making the change to ecigs soon have said they prefer the vapour on the SCC to the DCC because isnt quite as over baring, personally I like both!

Cheers Guys,

Rich

I got my new part and SCCs on Friday and immediatly tried the new SCC. The vape was just as good as the DCC imho and my battery lasted a whole 8hrs yay! I fitted one to my wifes Odyssey primed it and got an instant burnt carto so I tried her other one, same again burnt. I kindly let her have my second one and that one burnt out as well. One working out of three bummer.
 As for the new part, our original parts worked fine from the outset but I have to say the new one has a much nicer feel when pushing the button stiffer and less clunky. On another note the laser etching on the new SCC is nice aesthetic touch but it would be better if it lined up with  the window so it is visible when installed.

It kind of sucks to not be able to even MENTION products that are not sold by TW. I think it severely limits my ability to describe problems that occur. For instance, if I have used a tankomizer from another company and it draws perfectly and consistantly, I can't say that I wish the Odyssey drew like it because that will get me banned. Closed minds hinder creative thinking.

[kd0afk]

I also think it is kind of strange that all of the UK orders for new caps are being filled whilst the Yanks over here get to read about it. Why not send the shipment of caps and cartos to Florida BEFORE you start shipping them out to the UK. I don't know how it is being worked with our fine friends in Germany but it should be equitable as well.
It just strengthens my conspiracy theory about payback for 1776.

SasquatchBuddy,

Could you hang onto the carts that burnt straight away if at all possible?  We're going to start work on a QC investigation in September, and will be needing some customer assistance and feedback.  Can't say more than that at the moment, but we will be taking some action about the cartomizer failure rate from burning when properly primed.  The SCCs are of particular interest, because they will become the OE cartomizer for the Odyssey.

kd0afk,

The UK buyers got their Odysseys first, so it seemed fair that they got their replacement parts first.  Holding up UK shipments until cartos and battery tops arrived in Florida wouldn't have benefitted anyone, it would just mean that the parts sat in a warehouse rather than being used by customers.  We're going as fast as we can with getting everyone else supplied.  Sorry if it's frustrating.

Probably not payback for 1776.  Have you any idea how long we waited for Season 6 of M*A*S*H over here?

Liam

[SasquatchBuddy]

I feel for you kd0afk, as a yank in the UK I am constantly being persecuted for 1776 I think they are in denial. Hopefully you guys over the pond wont have to wait much longer. I cant wait to go back to Cali for a visit see the family and get me a pinner. lol

LiamH not a problem I have kept them just in case you guys wanted to have a look. One is a bit dented as I had to use pliers to unscrew it, I think I gave it a little too much welly putting it on.

[tinstar15]

Is TW customer service sending email notifications when they ship the replacement parts or are they just sending the parts. I'll be out of town for a while and would hate to think that the parts could be sitting in the open until I return.

[AWOL]

I am that happy, I got carried away and started a new topic in my rush -

[RichJr]

Figured I'd ask this here. What ohms are the single coils? I must have missed it in another thread.

Hi Rich, carton says 1.9 - 2.2.

Closed minds hinder creative thinking.

If you want a generic forum to discuss various items out in the open market they are out there just google..

Sorry it may suck that you cannot MENTION products not sold by TW but this is TW's forum for TW's products. They can do what they want.  

As for your last sentence sorry but I disagree. If they had closed minds why did Liam agree that some one else from dinex I believe had a better idea for the top connector, He could easily have debated / argued that his idea would be better in the long term.
But he seems to be from what I have seen very customer focused, at the end of the day that is what we as CUSTOMERS want.

As usual you can please some customers some of the time but you will never please em all.

I also think it is kind of strange that all of the UK orders for new caps are being filled whilst the Yanks over here get to read about it. Why not send the shipment of caps and cartos to Florida BEFORE you start shipping them out to the UK.

Sorry if this feels like I am picking on you kd0afk but the Ody is a UK maufactured PV opened up to UK customers before the US, so why not service your first customers first ( first come first served) policy which I agree with.
Even I have been reading about other peoples experience with the new caps for 3-4 days and have just received mine, no complaints in fact I was just glad people were receiving them as promised. Good on you TW customer service as usual

As for a conspiracy well you just never know   but can you prove it??

Rant over no offence meant.

edit - I'm a yorshireman I say it how I see it.

[bigscottd]

Well my new top part arrived on Friday so this morning I opened the packaging to find it with 2 big scratched on it but I continued to prime one of the SCC's and assembles and filled with juice. I fires it up and took a couple of tokes to get it performing and yeah it is a big improvement on the old connector and the DCC's, they seem to me that they perform similar but without the heat from the DCC. As far as battery performance ive done a full tank in today and only used about 1 full and im about half way through another battery which with a DCC I would have gone through a good 4 batteries.

Anyone?

[ceekay27]

I don't think so... I received mine without notification

[AWOL]

Well.
A week in and all is well with Oddy.
2nd day with SCT.
Liking it more today. Maybe it needed settled in.
I think DCT's will be having a rest for a while. 
Pity we can't have these single coil carts for normal DCT tanks?
Anyone know of a real idiots guide to creating a feed hole higher up?

I do agree with this, as I wanted to discuss other alternatives to cartos and one's that I have found work well or could tell TW about.  I have deleted whole posts forgetting that I cannot mention another company.  I do not wish to get banned, but it would be nice to not have to worry about saying "this particular company or product" works well on a TW device or vice versa.  In the odyssey case it would be nice if I could order cartos from somewhere else why they worked out the kinks.  I would never advertise for company just discuss different pros and cons things like that.

What about a moderator that we could send a link to the product in question and they could sanitize it meaning that they could post a thread with just the photo of the thing and a description. There are just so many new things being developed these days, it would be nice to be able to talk about them so that instead of TW discontinuing something, they would have community feedback to know what to replace it with.

[ceekay27]

Whe I first started vaping and joined this forum, there was an 'Other products' board,
This was unfortunately abused by members, with links being placed etc. I'm sure that you would agree
that this isn't fair to TW at all.
This forum is for TW members to discuss TW products, it isn't sponsored, and doesnt place ads to
generate revenue, everything is solely run by TW.

I do however agree that it would be a good idea to be able to talk about products that would work with
TW products, and could also generate some excellent feedback for CS to judge what products it's members
are interested in.

I will have a word with Jeff, but to be honest,  with the problems it caused last time, it may not be a good idea.
It would have to be constantly and carefully moderated, and may just be asking for trouble! 

[kd0afk]

Just putting it out there s'all

[ceekay27]

I totally understand Shawn, and while there will be members that are willing to stick to the rules,
you also have to understand there will be the odd few that don't care about the rules, and these
are the ones that spoil it for everybody

Yes you are correct

[tinstar15]

Just wanted to add my name to the list of folks that received the new top end. It's been running beautifully for the last week so far. Excellent stuff!!!

[LiamH]

Thanks Tinstar15. 

No negative feedback about the new connectors so far, and the connector reject rate has gone from about 85% to less than 0.5% in our internal quality checks.  And they vape better due to lower internal resistance.

Lesson learnt - the more of the manufacturing process that is directly controlled by TW and our associates, the better the customer experience.

Hi Rich, carton says 1.9 - 2.2.

Wonderful. That's perfect for an unregulated 3.7v batt. At a full charge the vape will be immense. At the end of a charge you'll still have a decent vape.

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that there is now a board for 'Reviews on non TW products'
We would like to encourage reviews and discussions on products that you can use with TW products.
Please read the rules before you post

Just a small suggestion the board name Reviews on non TW products suggests to me just for posting A review for non TW products. Could the name be changed to Reviews/Discussions on non TW products (even though in the rules it says discussions as well)
Then at least people could/would ask if any one had used x or y and what is their review on it.

[ceekay27]

We have discussed this Os, and didnt want a board where people just come on, say a couple of words
about a product and then we have loads of +1's underneath.
We want actual reviews and proper discussion, not just somewhere that people can pop on and
say 'Who's tried blah blah!' We would rather have the review first and then the discussion can follow on.

We'll see how it goes like this for now, and make amendments if we need them on the way

Ok I see what you mean now, yea totally agree we don't need a load of +1's as you say. It would be better for actual input / improvement to product etc.
