Just clean it before you use it if it smells like there's a residue left.

I use mothers mag polish with good results and you can also find cape cod cloths like innovapor sells at some hardware stores, do you have Ace hardware in Arkansas?

Product suggestion... lanyard? Or thoughts about one? Official one would be nice with cutout for the switch - or a tab that locks in and allows you to activate it?

N8T: Quick question on the wick. Are you now using the new material from your new supplier? I noticed that the second RES I got was lighter in color and what seems to be less porous {unless it's just my imagination}. I ran my finger through the surface of both wicks and the one I first had was definitely rougher {for lack of better term}

Hey guys!

Sorry, no lanyards in the works.

There is some variation in the current res material appearance, but no difference in porosity. The new material is still in the prototyping phase. It probably won't be out for another month or so. It's crazy how long it takes, I know, but that's the nature of product development and manufacturing.

I'll keep everyone posted for sure.

Cheers!

Alright, so, from what I gather, there is an optional bottom button sleeve available? Can we see some pics somewhere?

Hi N8T. Will the Res hold up in an ultrasonic cleaner or is that a bad idea? Also, what are the advantages of the new Res material over the old one? Thanks.

That's a negative on the ultra sonic cleaning. I don't know exactly what the natural frequency if the wicks are, but I do know that it's high. You don't want to be inducing inter-granular stress in ceramics.

Sorry, I can't quote any specs on the new material until I've verified the production parts.

Cheers!

Thanks, Nate. I've been wondering about that too.

But it's easy enough to rinse the Res in hot water for a couple of minutes or let it soak in hot water for a couple of minutes and then rinse it. The flavors including cinnamon and menthol and fruits come right out with no lingering tastes of them. I do this right before bed and then let it dry on a paper towel over night and it's already to go in the morning.

 

[nanabols]

Thanks N8T. Yeah I figured. Good thing I didn't try it. I can get really obsessive about cleaning.

n8t

just wanna ask if it is normal that the RES core revolve or move

and a wet surface in the atty. interface?

Yep, all good!

 

[zypher30]

another thing n8t why it is i cant sucked all the juice in the res is there a technic or something the core is not dried yet even i left it for a while

 

[N8T]

Surface tension. There will always be residual fluid in the res.

 

[zypher30]

so meaning n8t not all of the juice will be goint to the atty. you have to refill it again

It's hard to quantify how much juice remains in the res. There is always some in there and you can't draw all of it out while vaping, but the effect of having the saturated res while using the device is downright amazing.

I usually clean mine in the evening using warm water and a paper towel to dry on overnight. When I fill it in the morning, I'll use 15 drops or so to get it ready, then I can literally chain-vape the thing all day, just adding 7 - 10 drops at a time periodically to get the internals wet again. I have the regular alpha (not the lite or max) version, and when I'm using it hard, like at a bar or something, it goes for a crazy long time between redrips. So long in fact, that I find myself surprised when the flavor starts to thin, and I have to add more. I should also mention that I almost exclusively use 1.5ohm 306 attys, and they are brutal for liquid usage.

After re-reading the last 2 paragraphs, I guess what I'm trying to say is: you won't miss the minimal amount of juice that remains in the res, you'll just be enjoying golden hit after golden hit while using the thing. Which for a long time dripper, is really what you want anyway.
