Just a quick comment. I was talked into trying a new tank with replaceable coils that can be recoiled. I have been running it alongside my Sophia in a tall tank. The new tank is nice, simple and quite flavoursome but it will not take the place of Sophia in my daily rotation. Since I started using the external drip tips, I am having such an easy time with her so I ordered another couple to add to the other setups. Its easy to get caught up in the hype of new things but sometimes you need to stop and appreciate the finer things we have.

New things come and go but she is still a beautiful vape and always reliable.

Any idea when central pin insulators will be available for Sophia?

I believe in a couple of days. Hopefully tomorrow

It's my 2 year vapeversary and I just bought myself a present (any excuse). I just ordered a Calix. Well after watching Qorax excellent tutorial/review I was sold. It looks amazing!

We are currently about to finish the caged glass tank. We are designing an adapter with side airflow as well. If after the caged glass tube is out, there is enough demand, we will build the PMMA tube as well

Love the cage idea, LOVE the side air flow so the condensation (and/or occasional ever so slight leak/drop or two) doesn't build up on my 510 adapters. Love the P3 thread as well. Only part I don't love is the "IF" part about the PMMA...! Haha. [emoji6]

Does the cage for Calix means that the cage will be threaded on both sides and not the glass?

hello all, Ive been away for too long, 3 kids under 5 keeps me very busy.
Anyway my beloved Sophia is leaking from the center pin pretty badly. I have taken her apart, new insulator, new ceramic cup and still it leaks out the bottom. Any ideas of how to stop this? It started out of nowhere and I can not seem to get it to stop. Help please.

Yes, exactly

The leaking might be coming from the tank and not the ΣΟΦΙΑ. You should check the o rings of your tank, starting from the silicone (red) one

Unfortunately I did change the o rings with no luck. The leak is definitely coming from the center pin. When I dab it on a napkin drops come out of center pin consistently. It's got me baffled.

The leaking will come out of the center pin because it is the only way out. Continuous leaking from the pin means loss of vacuum. It is not an insulation problem. Have you tried it on another tank? Also, if you are making your own coils, try putting them higher in the cup. You can also try closing the liquid control a little. Oversaturation can do that as well

Thanks Billie. I don't have another tank but will try putting coil higher in cup. If tank has new o rings what could cause vacuum loss?

It might be a very small chip on the glass/ plastic tube. It might be the outer o rings. It can even be resins collected between the tube and the caps

Yes, exactly

Thank you Billie.
And this again means that the glass is inserted into the cage by means of o-rings or glue?

I had the same problem some weeks ago. Changed the blue insulator, changed o-rings and in the process I noticed that a small piece of the ceramic is "bitten off" - I mean broken away. This can happen when there is a small fight when trying to insert the cup . I am not sure if this can cause vacuum loss but I changed the ceramic too. As there was nothing more to swap, at that point Sofia changed her mind and behaved.

Yes, a broken cup can cause leaking as well
