    Right-O! Go check his wall (visitor messages). I've flashed him several times when he's gone "missing" and it's always brought him right back! When you find something that works... :laugh:

    Similar. Mine's not sitting horizontally like that, it's perpendicular to the two pins though (so like a + ). Also, my coil might be a wee bit closer to the air hole than that, maybe by a mm or 2. Finally, cotton wise, that one's always hard to tell from pictures if I'm using enough or not...

    *JINX* hehe you posted this at the same time I was composing my post right below yours. So yup, seems like we're on the same track as to what might be going wrong. The chimney parts were nice and tight when I put it together but because the top of the chimney sits so tight into that o-ring, I...

    LOL Don't ask! Between my mobile phone issues and my russian, I think every piece of equipment is out to get me! And I'm not a stupid person by any means, but I think the Universe thinks I need a few challenges thrown my way now that I was expecting a nice quiet January and February. :laugh...

    Hey Hawkie! Welcome back!! Glad to hear you're feeling better. You were much missed around here, and I thought we might nearly need to send out another flashing party for you soon if you didn't come back soon!

    I've done all that blowing it out several times already, every time after it floods. The air hole adjustment screw is now about an additional 2mm past it being flush, so it's sticking out, that's how far open it is. With it this airy, I get about 4 draws before it starts leaking out the air...

    this is a fairly thick liquid, at least 50/50. it's space jam andromeda. but i'll try to open the air hole even more.

    so further to my above, gurgling and leaking out the air hole, should I open or close the air hole more? I can blow it out into a paper towel, and then my next hit will be clean, but then the 2nd hit after that gurgles and floods out the air hole again. Where to troubleshoot?

    Thanks for yet another tip, but I think this thing just hates me!! :glare: I rewicked it, primed the wick and test burned, check, filled it via the bottom fill hole without overfilling, check, even did the "burp" and saw an air bubble go up. I'm thinking, yay not a single leak this time...

    Grrr I think I got the airlock and scorched wick anyway. This is tasting awfully burnt no matter what I try to adjust with the air hole and voltage. :glare: Now to figure out how to check on my wick without having to dump this whole tank. I guess I'll have to syringe it out into an empty bottle...

    Hey Bill! Good to see ya! Yeah November and December were crazy for me so not a lot of time spent here, but as things are getting back to normal, I am hoping to spend more time with my NT family again. :thumb: Of course, I've kept up on you, and your surgery, and sent you well wishes and get...

    Too late! I overfilled it by accident and it all leaked out the drip tip. LOL Seems that the 3rd try (refill) wasn't a charm after all as I still got leaking. Although this one was completely my fault for not paying attention to how full it was getting! :laugh: Thanks for the tips!

    Thanks Taki! Yeah I live on the West side of Campbell so I'm not as close to the east side of San Jose, aka gangland, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go to E-Cig City or Platinum Vapes (their SJ store is on the other side of 101) as I never went to that part of town and don't really...

    Okay I know you said there wasn't a trick to it but it's not working for me!! How do I fill up the R91 from the bottom fill hole? I'm getting pooling around the drip hole and it doesn't go down in. This is using a needle nose drip trip like what Clark puts on his bottles. What gives...

    Bill, Kryptonite is no longer on the menu. As Clark told us out here earlier when I asked after it myself, that juice was only created as a stopgap measure in case things with the TA didn't pan out. If you wanted it now, it would have to be requested as a custom bottle. Too bad though cuz I...

    Good morning fam bam! Up and attem early for me today. Still have to hop in the shower after I finish my chai but plan to finally hit one of the B&M's in my area for the first time today round about my other errands. Can you believe I've never visited a B&M vape store before?? :blink: Never...
