i bought these 24/28 Clapton shots on sale 30 for 8 bucks and they are ok but I would prefer smaller wraps. Mine hits fine at 120 but I like a warm Vape.

I left my mod and juice in my car this morning and tried filling my tank on my break and the juice was so cold and the tank was cold the juice wouldn't burp into the tank it was torture.

Vertical Coils and Leakage

I know there was discussion about leakage from the air holes early on in this thread, but wanted to share a few things I found as I think they relate to a possible cause of some leakage reports. I'm running dual vertical coils and in the past few days have notice minor leaking around the air holes, as well as juice dripping out of the chimney when I set the tank over to fill it. I keep my tank vertical most of the time and never lay it on its side. With the deck out for another refill, I decided to investigate the wicking to see if I was getting leakage past the juice holes in the deck base.The wicks are contacting the base nicely and I didn't see any evidence of flooding.

I had trimmed my wicks as even with the tops of the posts as I could, but noticed that they were fanned out at the top, just slightly higher than the top of the posts. "Could they be contacting the sides of the chimney and wicking juice off to the walls?" I wondered. Pulled out the digital calipers and started checking dimensions. The posts on my deck are 1.5mm narrower than the coil chamber ID. The height from the deck base flange to the top of the posts is 1mm shorter than from the coil chamber base flange to the chamfer point at the top of the chamber. Essentially, the clearances are very tight in there.

I didn't want to try re-trimming saturated wicks so I used a small pick to comb and compress the wick from each side into the center between the posts. I'll keep and eye on it in the coming days at post back if I have some conclusive evidence that it was indeed the wick heads contacting the coil chamber walls that was causing the leakage.

Does cutting the tops off wick really stop a noticeable amount of leaking?

I have had zero leaks with this build

Wicks cut level with top of posts

Opened mine to top up the juice

Ooops Time for dry burn & new wick me thinks

A little trick for those who pockets their aroma. I have been getting droplets coming out from the open airholes (I sealed 2 of mine with tape), not a juice dump but just some moistening when I pull it out of my pocket. I figured since it naturally is positioned on its side while in my pocket when I am seated, if the open airhole is facing down, gravity will pull a bit of juice through the hole. So a bit of tape on the 510 base to align the open airholes in 90 and 270 degree position while on its side fixed the leaking.

@justinred - I see you're not using the rubber AFC, but for someone who does; like me, would closing off the airholes with the AFC prevent leaks? I haven't carried mine OUT yet.

Most likely not since the rubber afc is quite loose and mainly is the reason why I replaced it with tape since the rubber gets curled when I stuff it in my pocket. I removed the rubber and taped it up since day 1 and the airflow suits me very well.

anybody knows where to get some v decks for a good price ?
or will the ones from ft fit the original aromamizer ? I could live with the holes drilled and tapped all the way throw .

 

[rangerrobin]

Too bad, sorry that you're not liking it. If we're not careful, @cigatron and I may start a bidding war to take it off your hands.

I was so ready to PM @cigatron, but then I finally got the hang of it!

Thanks to everyone's encouragement.

 

[jsocal]

Has anyone tried a fused staple coil in one. if you Google fused staple coil on a velocity there putting them between the post horizontal might thy it next rebuild when my .3 ribbon shows up

Got it rockin'? Awesome! I'm a little bummed at losing the prospect of outbidding @cigatron at double the retail price for yours though..

Only the obs crius is drilled all the way threw. Our aromamizer v deck is not. My wife has a v3 crius and I have not had problem with it but then again I put fused Claptons in everything lol

 

[Badhabit8o8]

Just some info

hi novaracer
what I am looking for is replacement v decks for the aromamizer, but at 14 or so forget it ...fast tech has 5 for about 10 they are drilled all the way through . the very first v decks steamcrave send out were also all the way through also , but changed that . what I realy like to know if the clones fit the authentic

 

[roxynoodle]

Peeps have already reported the clone decks don't fit the authentic I want more v decks, too.

BTW, if you want any 3 post decks, those are only $3.99 at 3fvape. I like them better for my quad vertical build.

Order direct from Steam Crave for $14.90. They have a depot in NY where they ship out of, if they have them in stock. Otherwise, you may have to wait a bit longer for it to come in from overseas. It looks like you can buy every part from them

 

[roxynoodle]

Yep. Now is it worth $15 per deck when VapeNW will sell you the whole thing for $20? When this atty was $45 it was. Now...maybe not.

Knowing some of the back story on VapeNW situation, yes...I'd rather give them my money. It's a matter of principal...

hi roxynoodle
for the original at 40 it was fine ..its a nice atty but 15 for the v deck I am feeling ripped off ! so that's a no go for me . the price for the 3 post is is more like it
for my fourth one I paid a lot less so .
