Thank you sir

RjG, which of the silica rope do you recommend?

[RjG]

Dunno. It was on my order too, another roll of Nichrome and a couple feet of several of the fiberglass and silica ropes, when they said they WON'T SHIP to me in Canada anymore. I'm still ticked about that. I used to order a ton of stuff from those jerks.

So I don't know... sorry.

I got #2 but I have not tested yet.

Any chance you would sell the threaded shaft for pulling ends off the e-cigar?I have plenty of 12 mm bolts but not in that thread pitch,seems to be .8,or any suggestions?

[RjG]

The thread is weird, I made it on a lathe.

You could try removing the o-ring from a mouthpiece, and use that instead.
Rock it back and forth a bit, it should pop off.

If not, PM me.

That is lame. I used to order from them on almost a daily basis when prototyping. They were efficient, well stocked, had everything, but then I was only a couple ground days away from them. I'd be delighted to order for you, and send it along, if you want. I also could peel off a few feet of various nichrome and kantal heating wires that I got off Ebay. I only got 30' of each, but you're welcome to half of it. I owe you at least that for your generous sharing of your work.

Do I need to warm the ends before trying to remove? and on reassembly is there a certain depth for the atomizer,or does it just go so deep and stop? In other words should I measure depth before diss? I have 3 total but my first one leaks juice onto the battery.Is there a sealant on the assembly?

Thanks Mogur, I might just take you up on that one day :-) :-)
