    Zephyrus V3 RBA leak

    Ok, had another crack at it. I previously had an experimental, spread for TC, 4mm coil. I dropped this to a 3.5 coil, along with hard-tightening the 510 pin into the coil deck and the leak seems to have stopped. Perhaps the 4mm coil was holding too much juice and dripped when hot or maybe juice...

    Zephyrus V3 RBA leak

    Hello I recently acquired said Zep V3. The RBA didn't leak at all for about a month but then all of a sudden it started leaking badly. I recoil/wicked it a couple of times with no improvement. The pre-made coils don't leak. 'Have noticed the silicon ring where the RBA meets the chimney doesn't...

    Black plastic in box

    The last couple of new mod boxes I have opened have had a black piece of plastic about 15x25x.5mm. Can anybody tell me its purpose ?

    Side by side sought

    I ended up ordering a Pico 21700. If it had a door and a lower tank deck it would be ideal imo but it should keep me in business for now and we'll see if the mod gods shine on me in the future.

    Side by side sought

    Thanks for your reply. The Pico S is on the consider list, if it becomes a bit less conspicuous it could be a buyer. I did like the pocketability and glass protection of the knight, even though I didn't get a particularly good run out of it.

    Side by side sought

    I need a new mod. My two latest, Pico and Knight v2 have been put down and even my trusty old reserve machine, a VTC Mini is jumping out of TC mode. Does anyone know if a single 21700, side by side, 25mm+, non-screw-on battery cap, mod that doesn't look like a transformer/disco is available or...

    Knight v2 dismantle

    Update. You do need to undo both screws in the plastic chamber and the small paddle shaped piece goes above the spring for the top floating battery contact. The unit has been fine since last post but is now doing the same things. Might have to pull the main button apart again and clean but this...

    Knight v2 dismantle

    The V1 had a drop in the top battery similar to Pico, the V2 has a magnetic side panel. Not a bad unit, stealthy and some glass protection. Too late for mine but last time I looked no silicon covers were available from FT, air adjusters on my Goblin Mini scrape paint off the inside as well...

    Knight v2 dismantle

    Ok, took the plunge and pried out the plastic insert, nothing to lose. For anyone that's interested - Only undo the top screw in battery chamber. Make sure spring behind floating battery terminal doesn't get airborne. Remove 4 screws on switch circuit board. Removed cover to fire button switch...

    Knight v2 dismantle

    Hello, not sure if this is the right place to post but I have a Smoant Knight V2 that is doing some weird things. The fire button seems to have lost its click (can't remember if it really ever had one), anyway, am planning to dismantle and see if there is an obvious problem that I can fix. There...

    Problem with istick 60w

    The resistance is reading properly and I have tried your suggestions, still no go, I might have to retire it. Will use old Istick 40 until new VTC mini arrives, which I will be more careful with. Thanks for all replies.

    Problem with istick 60w

    Have been using Istick 60 for a few weeks, have dropped it a couple of times but not recently. All of a sudden the Ti and Ni modes are not working. I have tried swapping tanks around and they are working fine on other batteries. The screen behaves as if it is working normally, no warnings or...

    Why ?

    From your comment and what might be an optimistic view is that the media are aware of vaping eventually replacing smoking and are therefore getting as much mileage (sales) as possible by delaying it through negative press as opposed to being on side, everybody switching and the story (sales)...

    Why ?

    That's where it (whatever sells most) doesn't add up. I would imagine all the conflicting facts/propaganda would create a lot of interest (sales) but the general media seems to be blatantly one-sided. Eg. global warming is generally presented from different angles to produce sales.

    Why ?

    It's easy to understand why the government is anti-vaping, in Australia a 50g pouch of tobacco costs over $50 and cigarettes are about $1 each. It is also easy to understand why pharmaceutical companies with their own products are anti-vaping as are the various heart, lung, cancer groups they...

    Reduced PG?

    Thanks for your replies. If this doesn't work I will try the opposite way. I am also dropping nic from 18 to 12, personally I would drop lower but he says he is concerned about cravings.

    Reduced PG?

    I thought I would try this as a first option, he has had some serious lung health issues, smokes heavily but is keen to vape if I can find something that doesn't make him cough.
