I got nothing.

Mine said it was in NYC the same day as the rest of you.

The shipping gods are not with me. I leave town again sunday, and have a bad feeling I will be going without this.

super big bummer.

That's weird, I used them a lot before and they were always a decent size. I'll see if I can edit them and rotate the first one... stupid phone lol.

They're plenty big on my screen... 3264 x 2448. Almost as wide as a pair of 23" monitors will go.

I've isolated it down to two things. Slow wicking, and the top of the coil is literally a hair off of the coil. I looked it over when I got home from work with a magnifying glass and that's how I noticed one spot that isn't touching the coil.

Regarding the breather hole... It looks like it is positioned right between the two wire posts. I'll post a picture...

Edit: Adding picture. I really need to get this wicking issue worked out lol.



Also, current wick/coil.

Loft, this looks really good. The hole placement there is Ok because it is in front of the short electrode and the hole is over that.

I can see that the wick is not really eps earned at all. This can take a day or two, but there is a shortcut

Put a fresh battery in the katana and put the fill screw back in. Tilt the katana nearly completely upside down then press the button and hold it. If the coil glows too hot put a drop or two of juice on it to keep it from overheating and popping.

Keep doing this for a minute or two. You will notice that suddenly the wick will start pulling juice very very fast. Faster than the coil can burn it off, it will literally start acting like a straw full of holes when it's time to stop.

At this point, let go of the button and tilt it back up. Your wick and coil should be almost completely "seasoned" at this point. Put the cap back on and test it. Your wicking issues should be a corrected and you should be blowing nice thick clouds of flavorful vapor.
