    It sounds plausible, USPS tracking is rarely comprehensive. Unlike Fedex, DHL, or UPS, the bulk of their work does not include tracked items. It just isn't their top priority to update tracking. Add the holiday volume and you have even more erratic tracking.

    Yup, new atomizers typically have lingering machine oils throughout and it's a good idea to disassemble and at least let them soak in soapy water for a bit, scrub with a toothbrush and thoroughly rinse. I've had exceptions that were fine. You can usually hold them close to your nose and smell...

    What just happened to my battery?!? please help

    Well, that's what I did but you are right. A better way is to put it on a charger for several hour in a room you will be occupying for that time. I'm not sure if any fancy circuitry is an absolute requirement. The charger that brought the battery back to life was a cheapo that did not recognize...

    What just happened to my battery?!? please help

    Leave the Sony IMR in your charger overnite. I have bought several batteries back from an overdischarged state by doing just that. Most chargers will provide a low voltage charge until they are charged up enough to use the full charging current. Your Iclear has a short, maybe the center post is...

    So, where does the leak occur? I understand the air entering the mod but where exactly does this occur? Thru the center post threads? On my ego/510 (which is in the shop for threads) , it all seemed very tight to me.

    Because I have the default 510/ego connector , I put on an Aspire bcc to see how it would do. Instant upgrade. I don't know if it's because of true power or what but yessir, very nice. I also came to the conclusion that the voltage readout was the ouput to the atty. :facepalm: Not the battery...

    Picking up some good tips from this thread. Got some nevr dull magic wadding polish. I eventually grew tired of cleaning the threads. At the bottom cap and top connection I am certain I could continue cleaning another 1/2 hour and still have black coming off the threads. So I stopped and took...

    I've not have much luck with cotton with the exception of cheesecloth from the grocery store. Something about the open weave makes it work for me in everything I've tried and no foul taste that I get from the 'medical" or cosmetic cotton varieties. puffs, gauze, etc. Could be that it has no...

    So glad to see others have received theirs and agree it's a top flight mod. Nice having company. Serial is at the bottom of the control head. I figured out the reason for the positive post being indented and requiring button tops. The DNA 20D is always live and drawing power. Sparks flew when...

    A more thorough scrubbing of my threads using my visor magnifier and a spark plug brush and alcohol followed by a thorough coating with NO-OX-ID "A SPECIAL" has resulted in a battery reading of 3.3 volts on the dna20d screen and it is still firing away. I have a 1.0 ohm atty on it. I have come...

    I have the contoured 510/ego, a Term- C with vochu's kayfun innards and have cured my dna20d's early battery quit time with clean threads and noalox. I am a happy camper. Any nicks and scratches require concentration to discern the few that are there and a high resolution close up pic to share...

    On mine the 510 thread is a tad higher then the top cap. Nothing will ever sit absolutely flush, not something that bothers me as the fiddliness getting it absolutely flush would drive me bonkers any way, but that's me.

    Light and color is a tricky thing made trickier by whatever monitor you're using. On my monitor the above pic is color accurate, bur I have spent time trying to make my monitor accurate. This is the same as the grey in the first post. Below is from the website Called silver on the website...

    Hmm, I got a magnet in mine now. The top post is well insulated and the battery is stuck tightly to it. I can't imagine the tiny magnet shifting to any location where it would create a short. It's too small too bridge the gap. You made me think of the flash memory though and that is magnet...
