    It keeps getting better! I guess they were tired of Trippy Stix getting all the rapper endorsements(payoff's).

    Something tells me painting an ego-w red doesn't make it perform any better....

    The last three posts pretty much sum up everything that needs to be said. I was in the same position at one point with a microG and cloud pen, cut my losses, grabbed a Thermovape Revolution, and will never look back at re-purposed e-cigs again.

    If the light still comes on when you press the battery, than it is likely just the cart that is dead. Like OF said until you replace it with a better vape, may as well pick up an omicron cart in the meantime. No adapter is needed, the omicron cart threads into female threads on the gpen battery (like the charger). The 2.4ohm has been working great with my gpen battery for a few weeks now, already vaped a gram and half through it. The gpen carts are a complete joke. The wick carts are intended to be used with liquids, and the "nail" cart is so horribly designed it's practically useless. The hits from the omicron cart can be smaller than the gpen nail cart, but the overall omicron experience is light years ahead of anything grenco can provide. Definitely recommended saving up for a omicron, persei, or a cera, but in the meantime should pick up an omicron cart to use with your gpen battery.

    I contacted Grenco Science by phone, and i must say, surprisingly swift customer service. I did not ask for refund, just that they send new tanks. Spent less than 2 minutes talking to the guy. Next day i get an email saying they've shipped out 2 new tanks. I will try these out and hopefully get the G-Pen working . I'm building up a serious collection of things to vape. (ice-o-lators, BHO, budder, jamaican gum)

    I'm gonna everyone's advice and just go straight for Omicron or Thermavape Cera. Persei seems complicated (so many attachments and things) . The other one that piqued my curiosity is the DaVinci Ascent (although its not even out yet it looks kinda interesting)

    Has anyone tried both Cera in SS and Titanium ??? what site have you guys used and had good experiences with ? If these devices last long it would seem like money shouldnt really be an issue considering the price of the stuff we are vaporizing . Its like every time i burn a joint of something that high-end concentrate , at least half of it is being wasted.

    I have tried both, at least both core types. Performance of Ti bodies should be very similar to SS ones vapor production wise. I think the Ti core has real advantages in faster heat up and cool down, at least so far.

    I'm not so sure what the question is.

    I agree, given waste and long life the bucks for Cera is easy to justify from some perspectives. There's also some satisfaction of ownership to have such a well designed and made unit to do the good work I think?

    Hey guys:) , I have been lurking on the site for a while and thought I would share my thoughts on Grenco.

    I recently purchased the MicroG pen that came with 2 pens and 1 charger. Now, online it shows a photo of the unit with a metal screen and mine did not have that. I don't know if they sent me an old version or what??

    Also, since the oil/wax is put directly on to the coil in this unit...this is technically not a vaporizer at all right? I mean, the combustion is touching the oil so it is burning it.

    All I wanted was a REAL vape pen for around $100....and now I feel like I just fell for the Grenco "hype." Trippy stick this trippy stick that....this thing does not even vape!!

    Does the original G pen actually vape? Would love some help clearing this up. Thank all!

    Regarding the screen, i think that they tried something new and it didnt really work out so they removed the screen and are no longer producing it with the screens.

    Regarding the other G pen works basically the same way. The G pen carts with wicks perfrom worse than the MicroG IMO.

    Ive tried quite a few different pen style vaporizers and if your dont like the microG, chances are you wont like any of them. They all perform the same way with a coil and wick and most are placed directly onto the coil. Some have a funnel above but its basically the same thing. It similar to putting it onto a nail and heating that up...

    Hello all! New to vaping and i just purchased a G Pen. I was watching videos on YouTube about loading the G Tank. People are saying to put oil before the wax to saturate the wix. My question is, what kind of oil?

    The g tank is designed for E liquid not wax or oil. It will work (kind of) but ihave never hadgood experience with it or any wick style vaporizers. My advice would be to cut your losses before it starts to tally up. If Not the new coil for the G pen would be a good alternative. It is basically a MicroG for the Gpen.i have had good success with the microG, although the carts dont last very long
