i just wanted to say THANK YOU jason and mike for this new SW tank, that took care of the last little gripe i had that irked me about it, (didnt like putting chap stick on my sw) works absolutely perfect now.

I also wanted to post the right size o ring for the tanks are #15, and for the top cap #16, (thanks andy) if you use those sizes w/ the new tank it will not leak at all and you can still turn it very easily to line up the airhole. thanks again jason and mike and as pg would say...

"vape... hard, live long."

I'm not sure what size o rings came with it originally.. and haven't ordered any from anyone yet, but what exactly is #15 and 16? I haven't seen them labeled that way from the sites I'm looking at so far..

Jason got me my updated top cap quickly, but I'm just noticing that this one is leaking as well.. I'd like to get the correct rings, but just want to make sure I get the right size..

You could try removing the o-rings you have on there now, wrap a few turns of sewing thread underneath, then replace the o-rings. It's pretty much the nature of the beast, they are a bit looser when they are brand new.

Also, to cut back on the amount of liquid in your top cap, let off the button a second or 2 before you finish your inhale. Any vapor that stays inside the top cap will condense to liquid.

That seems so obvious and yet, I never thought to try something like that.. I'll try that with the thread.. Thanks for the tip..

I do always let off the button early, but for some reason, my SW leaks anyway.. My ZAP and Cobalt have been fine however..

I know this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find it on the FAQ. What size is the air hole in the top cap? Looks to be approximately 1 mm to me but my eyes are so bad, I worry about approximations, lol.

The air hole is 1/16"........I don't do millimeters, sorry, Read..........

 

[readmermaid]

Thank, dearme. I'll figure a way to translate. Or not. Anyway, thanks....

 

[tybin]

i think that is for the brand Danco maybe? at lowes i think number 15 translates to their #35

I think this was in the 'other' Zen~ thread.

Jonny answered it already, it's a number 15 (or 35 from Lowe's for a plumbing o ring).

-14 O ring size for zens with regular glass and stainless tanks (1/2 ID X 5/8 OD)
-15 O ring size for use with the sidewinder (9/16 ID X 11/16 OD)
-16 O ring for top caps and the cobalt blue tanks (5/8 ID X 3/4 OD)

-Sidewinders purchased at VC and from the initial run at electronicstix had -14 o rings; all future versions should have -15.

Maybe we can add this to the info page...

 

[Tension113]

Perfect.. Thank you guys

 

[Escapereality]

I'm just curious---does anyone have a Sidewinder that doesn't enjoy it?

I'm considering trying for one as my next device...but all of the parts scare me. Seems like more room for error. I really like the form factor and portability of it. I wish I could just hold one and use it for 5 minutes to decide if it was right for me!

 

[tybin]

that would be cool if you could. I love the form factor. The new updated tank will be on the future runs. This really cleared up my previous issues

 

[Paislia]

Escape - I really enjoy my SW. I wish you could try it too. I'm not sure just which speck of Bluegrass you haunt, but are there any local vape meets? If you haven't already, look up your local vapers in the social groups section of ECF - you just might find a "Zenfidel" nearby. (there's always Long Island in March http://www.vapefest.com/, or Chicago in April VapeBash 2 April 12th and 13th 2013- LOTS of them there for sure! )

Quick question, If I wanted to goto the local hardware store to find an O-ring for the top cap of my ASH II what size/type should I be asking for?

Thx and Merry Chirstmas
