Wow nice collection, and thank you Sedge, Qorax and everyone else for all the information... I am looking at buying my first rebuildable in a week or so after I do a bit more research.. This post has given me a lot to think about and answered some questions I had..
Keepsmiling asked about swapping the base of a Tilemahos for an AFC.. What is this?
Thank you and welcome to the thread.
AFC stands for air flow control. Some atomizers allow you to adjust the resistance of the air flow. Others only have one setting.
Some atomizers' airflow comes out of the side, and others come out of the 510 connector.
If you are using one where air flow comes out of the 510 connector, then the
mod that you put it on must have grooves, slots, or holes, in its 510 connector to allow for air flow to get to the atomizer.
If the atomizer has air flow coming out of the side, then the
mod need not have any air flow channels.
Here is the Tilemahos base with 510 airfow. Notice the small hole at the top of the threads and in the positive pin.
Here is the AFC base. There is a side air hole with a ring that allows one to adjust the opening to suit one's individual preferences. Notice too that the 510 pin has no hole. It is sealed. Disregard the brass ring at the base. It is a hybrid connection for Le Petit Gros and not part of the Tilmanhos base.
I can fix it after this tank. Imeo explained I was supposed to put the new center pin at the end, then line up the pos. and neg. posts in the correct spot, then tighten. I missed a step. I just screwed the deck down into the afc, which already had the post in it.
