    Frustrated

    I try not to: Theorem of Z I don't have the proper math tools that can describe the non-linear function of tool sharp edges, energy applied to/generated by said tool, and probable blood lose by Z. Screwdrivers are generally safe. -Z

    Cool by me ;) Good luck with it. I'll still stand by not buy anything in bulk without trying it first. Added note. I also have a tendency to buy from the people who are being innovators i.e. Imeo, Isaac, et al, as they are the ones who are going take things to the next level. Just opinion...

    Frustrated

    In my defense, it was never metal to metal.. I'm not that daft. The jaws of the vice grips had copious amounts of electrical tape (Only becuase the soft jaw pliers lowes claimed to have didn't seem to exist in the store). The finish might just be "gunk" from the tape.. unsure until I polish...

    world record

    Voltage should be constant regardless of load. And I doubt he's going to build a meter to give time in days. Plus my last build started at 3.5, but ended up at 7.4, I had to switch batteries to drive it, and even then, it was week, but world record if it was just ohms. I suspect what we are...

    Steeping?

    I missed this page in the vaping handbook, and simply don't worry about it. Sure, some get better with aging, some don't. I've yet to have a case where something is unvapable at delivery, and OMG a month later. My experience has been like wine.. if it's good it can get better, but it's still...

    I'm finally a vet! ~1 year no smoking :)

    Congrats my friend. I've quit as well, I'm just waiting for the milestone. Sorry to hear you are hard times, waiting for the post you're past that.. But, always remember "Jah won't pay the bills" ;) Best, -Z

    Guess I sorta don't understand. It's akin to buying a mazariti, and then going to walwart to equip it with cheap tires. Quality is the sum of the parts, but at the same limited be the weakest one. In this case the one you are trying to get on the cheap is probably the most important in the...

    Frustrated

    Thought I did that, but I'll try again next build. And don't get me wrong, when this thing works, it's unmatched. Luckily, I've mastered UFS, so I'm already near vaping nirvana with the ikenvape attys. I've also come to the conclusion I should not use tools. Ever. I feel strongly that...

    Frustrated

    Your frustration is shared.. My gripes, one of which might help you: Every build I've made, the top lock nut works itself loose. Multiple times I've torn down and found this loose despite what I thought was pretty good hand tightening. If I re-adjust, things are fine for a bit, but eventually...

    UFS Expansion and iO6

    So the way I'm reading this.. If I take one of my multitudes of metal cartos, and use a pipe cutter tool (three rollers and a blade), I can use that to compress the carto housing onto the iO6 (sans blade of course) , I can get a good seal? Do I need to put anything between? -Z

    UFS Expansion and iO6

    I'm a software guy, I don't think about hardware... ;) Thanks for that... Getting these in a GG tank has got to be the holy grail of vape. -Z

    UFS Expansion and iO6

    Well I'm to busy to ready every post on every forum ;).. I saw something about Teflon tape. Just tell me you're using an iO6 in the Ody expansion and I'll be a happy camper.. -Z

    UFS Expansion and iO6

    Introduced here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ikenvape/212154-official-io6-atomizer-beta-thread.html Sold here: Atomizers - io6 Series - IkenVape Store It's my standard vape for a few weeks now.. most I ever do is blow it out now and then, and it's as good as new. Still on the first...

    UFS Expansion and iO6

    This may seem heresy. Building a custom atty with ody beats any carto.. However, I'm finding, if done right, it almost matches my iO6 experience. Ody wins on cost and short term convenience (i.e. no dripping ).. iO6 wins on durability, and consistency. -- Caveat: in my experience (@ 6v) Both...

    Stealth on stage

    But, I like... Oh never mind... different context.. Learned a long time ago that being offended by stuff was easy, maintaining my sensability more difficult, and equally more valuable. Was almost offended that Facebook seemed the only way to find the video ;), but found you on you-tube. As...

    Don't be sorry, I knew exactly what you meant ;). Got ya covered, buddy. -Z

    Odysseus leakage

    Negative... But rereading Imoes post, what he considers positive, I see as negative. And I probably mis-stated. Two connections.. one to the center pin, which connects to the center post via the lower locking nut. The the other to the outer locking nut. The technique is on the later in my...

    Odysseus leakage

    Sorta. When I was trying to assemble, one of the 4 wicks (2 each side), got caught in the threads, and tore up. Most of it got sliced in the threads, and pulled away. So in this case I'm double wicked on one side, to about the bottom o-ring, and on the other, double wicked to the bottom of...

    Odysseus leakage

    I accidentally did this. The contact is on the inside of the locking ring, not the bottom. As long as it's not dangling down to the center post, there is no possible way to short. Everything near the locking nut is on the negative side of the coil. Rebuilt with the double wick, and am finally...

    Creative help needed UFS/Ody

    Just a quick update.. Totally off topic. If your looking for looking for amazing GG insight, please move on. -- My ring finger is shades of green. And I'm pleased about that. Had I been asked the question on Jeopardy "Your finger is green", my reply, as a question would have been a very...
