Do the replacement tanks not come with the magnet adapter when you order replacements? I thought I saw a video where they do come with the magnetic adapter with the tank. I was hoping to get my inano yesterday, but it will be in tomorrow.
When bought separately, no, they do not come with the coil/tank.
For such a small item, you would think they would be provided.
I have 3 extra replacement coil/tanks yet no extra adapters.

Although I have not gotten the device yet, I ordered replacements from totally wicked. I believe it was 12.95 for 3, and they come with 1 adapter. Not ideal, but at least you have an extra. I will just have to remember to keep those attachements when i throw a tank out if I decide to use this device. Supply Daddy, do you have the nano yet? Can you provide a small review if you do?

Well the time has come. Just finished cleaning, de-wicking and dry burning my previously favorite Lemo tanks. They're ready to go back in the box and join the rest of my doomsday stash when I get home. So I thought I'd spruce up my plain black iCares a bit by putting the rubber baby buggy bumpers from the tanks on them.
Inadvertently discovered that the vape bands make for easy 'on the fly' air flow adjustment without the need pull out the shaft. ;)

Here's mine taken apart. The piece seems to be holding nicely and will test it with water to be sure it doesn't leak.
Cool! How did you get it apart? I tried prying the bottom off 1 of mine but all I managed to do was chip some paint.

If you still haven't put it back together how about more pics. Battery side? Actuator?

Looks like a good idea for drops, one for the top, and one for the bottom.

Does FT have the vape bands? I gotta do an order from them today, and I'll pick up a few from them if they do, where did you get yours from?

Yeah that little sucker was making a heck of a SLAP noise every time it would fall over on a flat surface. Started getting worried that I'd eventually crack the tank or something.

You have to tap the inside out from the top. I used a punch and just carefully tapped it being careful not to hit the silicon piece. It just falls out in one piece. I removed the top piece to make it easier to fix the glass. It has a ground wire that attaches to the metal top piece.

Be Warned!!!

I think I took mine apart the wrong way??? While putting it back together I found that I had to remove the bottom piece and then press the tank, battery and power board assembly in thru the top. The bottom part is only glued together.

That looks kinda scary to me. I don't mean just your fix, but any little leaks of liquid from the tank can get to the board and battery easily, and that could be a big problem.
It's not bad a all and it was easy to take apart. It won't leak from whatever I do to it and I'm really not worried about an $11 ecig... Fixing this was mostly just something for me to play with and curious as to how it worked.

Thanks for the pictures. :)
