    Nothin' wrong there. That's just a slot that was cut in a Four-dimensional space. It only looks like a punch 'cause we're in the Third dimension. Duh. ;) Sorry, bummer. Hope they fix it for ya fast.

    22mm drippers - What are my options?

    I believe the AGI 2in1 convertible RBA/RDA is 22 mm. It's definitely one of my favorite drippers. Recommend if you convert it to a dripper, to find a way to seal the screw hole on the bottom. I used some lock-tite permanent bond to seal a hex-head screw in there and it's worked pretty well. I'd...

    It does suck to wait when supply is limited. But if DD pulls off what he's hoping -- roughly weekly batch releases -- he'll be doing a darn sight better than many high-end mod makers. Sooner or later karma will catch up and you'll get one. Unless it already has caught up and that's why you...

    The "bad Boges" thing seems kind of odd. My SR's usually meter out to about 2.8-ish and work great as long as I slot them correctly for whatever liquid I intend to use (not too big for thinner liquids, not too small for thicker). But LR's or anything below 2.5 ohms almost always vape hot/taste...

    Currently I have (countcountcount...) nine tanks in rotation, and I've had 12 total over time, including the ones that got heat warped and are no longer in service. This is just my experience, but I've never had an off taste of any kind that wasn't explained by a cartomizer needing replacement...

    I'd recommend checking out this thread for the Diver. There's been some recent discussion there about leaks and the interaction between the center pin, wire, ceramic and base.

    I've seen a few, and experienced a few things that could be considered valid negatives. Though some could be argued are a matter of Not Taking the Time to Really Get Familiar with it, or just a matter of taste. Just so's the BB Natives don't throw me in the cooking pot or label me as, "A Skunk...

    Had some other stuff going on so haven't finished yet and kind of unsure about it anyway ... it REALLY needs a good female singer and while Mrs. Vapian can "sang" it's not really her style. It just sounds off to my ears with just me singing. Still ... If I can get my office squared away early...

    So, did some stuff with an standard BB tank and one of the new Delrin tanks. Long story short, Delrin tank's one tough sumb!tc$. Results below. Original tank after one minute at 204 degrees; Delrin tank after boiling at 230 degrees for five minutes: And the BBDT still vapes just...

    Two Delrin tanks. Had to have at least one to run through the "near boiling water" and "hot car" tests. I almost hope it doesn't pass one or the other, or I might be obliged to go all Mythbusters on it's a**.

    Sorry to hear you're sick DD ... but do appreciate the update. Hope you get better soon! I'm liking that Delrin face. I was thinking maybe one shallow slot to see liquid level, but the way you did it makes it like kind of a like a set of EQ faders. I'm diggin' it.

    With thicker liquids and consistent feed problems it's going to come down to hole size. Too small a hole and it doesn't matter how many holes you have. If your punch allows it, try to punch a bigger hole and see what happens. Two bigger holes if you can. If your punch can't do that, try...

    Having been in the military, used to spray everything with prop wash but that got kind of messy. Now I just wipe mine off with a grid square and lube it up with a touch of relative bearing grease.

    No additional holes needed. Despite the tight tolerances in the machining, there is enough room between the door plate and the body to vent around the seams, especially near the bottom. The three holes on the side for carto air flow also provide for venting. I don't recommend doing this often...

    I'd volunteer again but I'm afeared my recent input has been lacking - simply have to measure where time is spent if I'm to accomplish anything useful toward any of several irons in the fire (one of which includes improving my singing voice to the point it can be pitch-corrected, up-pitched and...
