    Better to leave it alone than use a lighter...not nearly enough heat to "burn" the wick. I got a torch from the local convenience store for 5 bucks. It's the shape of a pineapple and probably won't last a month, but for the money I don't care. lol I'm with you on using booze and having it...

    Glad you couldn't vape it...SG is not good for almost EVERYTHING. Do doubt it was defective and I'm sure you'll get a replacement ASAP. Cermaic is hard but it's not tough...big difference. Broadly speaking, hardness is the ability to resist scratching and toughness is the ability to resist...

    Same here..... I either twist or solder; both are stronger and easier

    One of mine was like that....stuck. I believe it's some metal shavings from cutting the threads. Under 10x power I could see some really fine shavings. What I did was spray the threads with penetrating oil and let it set for a couple of hours. Then, worked it back and forth slowly and it...

    I cleaned mine with a q-tip and then put everything in the ultrasonic in alcohol and ran for 20 minutes. Rinsed, dried, loaded it up with the stock wick and it_is_AWESOME. The flavor is excellent. The vapor is incredible. I could not imagine how it could be better than the Iatty, but it...

    It looks like an easy mod with a diamond wheel but I'm gonna spend some time getting to know the Ody before I pick up the Dremel. Then, mod one and do a side by side comparison with the 116 and the stock wick. I like the design makeover a lot; well done.....very well done indeed.

    GGTS For Xmas

    ...make an atomizer extension using a delrin drip tip and a cartomizer tube. Cut off the end of the DT and cut down the diameter to SNUGLY fit in the carto tube. Friction it into place, cut off to whatever length you like, and you can use any 510 atomizer you want with the UFS Here's...

    ss GGTS: playing with adapters

    Yep, that's what it is. I've found the best fitting adapter(s) extend approx. .5mm above the end cap. It produces just enough clearance so the brass doesn't get scratched.

    Voltage using Odysseus

    .16mm resistance wire w/116 ceramic wicking. The Iatty with that setup is pretty close to perfection for me

    Voltage using Odysseus

    I absolutely would NOT run it at 1.5 ohms and 5 or 6v...but that's just me. For 5-6v I make a 3 ohm setup and it's nice and warm and full of flavor. 1.5 ohms @5v = 16 watts. Do you really want it that hot?

    Merry Christmas Madvapes, and Thank You!

    Madvapes is a great vendor in both service and selection. I've had VERY few issues, but when I have they've always taken care of the problem fast.....can't ask for more than that from anyone.

    Hot Potato

    Dented batteries and too hot to hold and shorted atomizers make me REALLY nervous. I would hit reset and start from square one......take it completely apart and examine everything; clean and check everything, and do Zoranth's list. Screwing up with li-ion batteries can be dangerous and I...
