    absolutely. Great idea there. It makes a world of difference for me at least. I chain vape and need a chain vape device. This should work and hopefully it will soon

    No kidding. Maybe Dan is compiling a list of things people are having problems with so that later he can drag Kermit back out. lol

    I think all the issues I was having have all dissipated now by changing my wick and modifying a 3mil juice sample bottle its at the point where I can chainvape for about 5 minutes before I get the dreaded dry hit

    I use DIYflavorshack juice. Dawn makes the flavors really strong... in regular atty's it is pretty good. but in genesis attys it is like vaping straight juice concentrate...like zen(zenesis) says ...ppl always say first try on genesis atty " oh, that's what my juice tastes like".. if it does that to flavor I imagine that it does that to the nicotine content as well. I started getting hiccups at 26mg when I first started with a scubagen V3, have to "water" it down. I was O.D'ing on nicotine!

    The dry hit reports have been piling up over the last few days and I think they all relate to air replacement in the tank. This can happen naturally through the wick hole if things are set up right. Having the wick loosely fit through the hole and having the wick not too dense are important for this to give air every opportunity to get back into the tank.

    Sorry for not being personal, but it has been a tiring week for me and I don't quite remember who had what and there were changes made after the fact.

    Someone had dry hits for the first half of the tank, and great thereafter. Air could get in through the center of the wick but around the sides was too tight. As the level of juice drops down lower than the height of the wick, it can breathe again. A longer wick of similar design would help with this, and is quite similar to the way Sturm has (had?) things set up.

    Using the bottle for the tank with a hole in it lets air in, but is asking for trouble when not in use (like overnight). Getting it to not just all run out on account of gravity sounds tricky.

    For me, making the hole for the wick larger doesn't sound as simple as making the wick thinner. One is easier to change in the future too.

    I use a 14mm x 25mm piece of mesh, roll a wick that slips into the tank hole and a 20G needle slips into, oxidize the coil end and trim the tank end to have a sharp angle, wrap a coil and install. Wicks great to the end of tank, chain vaping too.

    I see that postage rates will increase on 22 jan. Are you going to need any additional $$ for postage or do they offer a "forever" stamp for packages that can be purchased before the rate increase.....if you need any more let us know so you dont get stuck with a big postage increase

    hmmm, do you mean, you use the 20G needle as a 'gauge' to judge how tight / loose the wick is when inserted in the hole. Is that the idea?

    Watts do not matter. Its all about wire temperature.

    Asdaq beat me to it, I agree with him. My wick is actually loose in the hole and if I start getting a an off taste I cover the hole and give it a short suck. this increases the neg air pressure and pulls juice down the wick. When I release air goes back into the tank. That is the key on both the G-Tank and G-Tank-US finding the balance like a carberator. Poking a hole in the tank will be great initially, and then the flodding will occur since there is nothing stopping the air from coming in, the juice will leak right out when not in use. I have not thought about the length of the wick, but it makes sense that a longer wick will get to an air pocket faster than a short wick making the wicking faster.

    I will cross that bridge when I get to it. But no they do not offer the forever stamp for flat rate boxes.
