I see a lot of complaining because silica wicks suck. Ok, DIY silica wicks may be ok, I don't know. Thing is though, ALL of the clearomizers come with crappy silica wicks, so you can't really say this or that device is trash just because the wick sucks. If that's the case, ALL clearos are trash...
It's cuz you suck! lol just kidding. Seriously though, sounds like it's flooding. You're used to the PT-1 draw, so you're probably sucking too hard on it. It's either that or look at your wicks and see if there are any gaps letting juice into the head. If you replace that silica with cotton and...
Check this out Updated Protank 1
Edward @ Sun-Vapers is awesome. $15 for a glue-free protank 1. Then there's the Protank 2 with removable drip tip and the mini protank 2.
On both of mine, the place where a noticeable amount of black came off was inside the drip tips. Clean that shiz out with a paper towel.
The rubber grommet has to stay. The volts may be too high if a stock head is burning the grommet, because Kanger uses the thickest silver NR wire I've seen...
Authentic. Go for it!

PS Edward @ Sun-Vapers is good people and has really taken care of me with orders and whatnot. Highly recommend at least bookmarking his site, he has those for sale as well.
Hey now, I would buy 'em if they were mass produced! Dust is a four lettter word to me and I'm pretty OCD about it after reading so many woodworking horror stories.
So the question is, who is working on getting this done? Dan? You? Boden? Any others?
This is important to know, because if...
Remove a silica flavor wick, put the head back together with the silicone cap, and then LOOK at it. You see that big gap? =Leaking
Not trying to be rude, but come on peoples...just look at what's going on with these things. Cotton will expand unlike glass fibers, which is another reason it's...
"Muted" flavor has nothing to do with different devices. Sure, an airy draw will affect things and some may not like the PT-1 for that reason. PT-1 ended up being trash because of the epoxy glue issue. I had chest pains and trouble breathing from inhaling that crap and wouldn't take 500 PT-1's...
Well then I think I see a dremel diamond wheel in my future! :)
To clarify my little disclaimer, I guess I was trying to say: I know my comment is totally OCD/over-thinking-this because awesome wicks have already been made with basic tools. I guess the reason I'm trying to figure all this out...
Random thoughts which may make a difference on sub 2mm wick strength. Probably not...fragile is fragile...
1)Came across stuff on semiconductor Wafer Dicing
One of the materials they cut is alumina, very very thin alumina (and other materials). So I thought some of that info may be...
Soooo, the newest ones have the line. Do the pre-2013 or early 2013 models have no line?
Also, that Top Chances Holdings alibaba page...
I'm about to order a good amount of stuff from them. If Kanger lists them as an authorized distributor/wholesaler, I'm assuming they are a good source to...
Ground for sure. Here's an interesting blurb about machining it...
Feb, 2013-Manufacturing: Chip-free Ceramics
Apparently they haven't heard of dremels like some of the guys in this thread, haha.
Seriously though, I wonder if a tiny wick would be impossible to *grind* because no matter...
Thank you much for that. I think you're right that others can easily learn to replace the cotton. I might just find something more uniform and easily repeatable (a string instead of diy ball wick), give them some lighter juice options, and a few heads with a micro-coil the same diameter as the...
Couple questions if you fine folks don't mind.
I'm assuming no one has made a white wick smaller than 2mm? With the right tool and method does anyone think it might be possible? Maybe a laser?
I ask because I'm intringued by this whole 'wick lasting for months' business. I love cotton for...
We deal with two types of addiction, physical and psychological. This thread is about the physical. Nicotine is the main addictive substance in cigarettes. Yes, nicotine is addictive. BUT the MAOI's in cigarette smoke REINFORCE the nicotine addiction and make it stronger than it would be by...
My bad, I meant Canton, Mass. I thought it said you were going but it says Karen. Whoops.
Also, I meant same goal as far as getting people off smokes. It's amazing how they are so against nicotine as well. Has this always been a thing with them, or just with the advent of e-cigs? So stupid...
awww man I had a long response and I accidentally deleted it.
Basically, totally understand where you're coming from. Hope I didn't come off as too confrontational :)
We just have to be careful because there are people who want e-cigs banned for reasons like---> anyone who uses them will...
