510 hh357

[dDubs]

Hey ECF!
I have a 2ohm short barrel 510 HH357. Breaking it in with some oba oba tobacco juice... yummm. But it seems like the mesh/coil/everything sits very high in the atty. When I pull my drip tip off, bits of juice fly off, I regularly get juice in my mouth, and I'm afraid that the bottom of my drip tip may be almost touching the mesh around the outside. I have a long barrel HH on the way, but I'm not going to waste this one!
What can I do to make like an extension, essentially making this into a long barrel?
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave

One thing I would do is get a universal drip tip to make an extension. You can get it at EmpireMods. Hope this helps you out and with the universal, you can use your 510 drip tips on it

haha, yea I figured out I could put a cherry vapes universal tip into it, and I use it without a drip tip. Opening is pretty big, but so easy to drip through so it will work til this HH dies and I open my new long barrel HH.

Lol, sweet deal and glad to hear it's workin for you

My long barrel died yesterday night...the white rubber band piece that sits around the center post/pin was coming out and once I raised that up to put in the rubber band, it won't fire anymore. I emailed avid a little while ago, so will be interesting to see what I can do if anything to fix it.

I am sure Hanna will take care of you, my experience with him has been great so far.
I have a short barrel(mentioned in the OP I believe) that wasn't producing the flavor that I expected. I emailed Hanna, and I am sending it to him and he is going to rebuild/rework it and send it back to me. He took about a day to respond to my initial email(as I'm sure I am not the only person emailing him and he is busy), but after that went back and forth with him, and he was great. I am very impressed, he is determined to have it working perfectly for me, and I can't say enough about that. He stands behind his attys 100%.
In the meantime, I opened my long barrel HH to start using that as my short barrel will be out to Hanna, and its amazing! Flavor is excellent already(only been 2 days), vapor amazing, and I love the long barrel design, which I initially was unsure of. I think the long barrel HH will be my go to for some time to come. Next pay day, I think I'll get the ball rolling on a couple custom 357s, I want one with the cobalt blue barrel!

Its only 5 dollars for a rebuild too, so it may be worth it just to send it back.

Cisco's a friend of mine, he actually hand-delivered a long barrel HH.357 since we live 5 minutes apart, haha.

It died once because the insulator was punctured and it caused a short, but he took care of it asap. I dropped it off, the next day it was fixed and still performs stellar.

It's worth reaching out to Avid. If anything, a rebuild is a pretty cheap yet effective option. They are hand made, so there's a good chance that your coil is sitting too high.
