So the sale is at 7:30 Eastern tomorrow?

I'm trying to figure out if I am going to do the sale at my friend's house, or head down after. Do you think it means I'm an addict that I asked how fast her internet was to compare? LOL

Ah ha ha ... I thought you were gonna say "Do you think I'm an addict if I schedule my activities around the sales?". :laugh:

** evening Tripsters ...... how goes it?

Lol. She works until 10pm or else I probably would have...:blush:

So, I guess I've been using Trippy Tips a year or so, give or take now. I just broke my first o-ring. I think I have a *few* replacements lying around, lol.

Mornin all, hope your weekend's off to a great start!
Sooner, glad to hear you're home safely and in time for the sale. :D

Delilah, I'm having similar issues with my Prive tank: not the leaking issue, I haven't gotten that far yet. I can't get my cartos into the damn thing when I use my carto punch from Phiniac, and when I used my one off of Amazon, it wouldn't draw the juice in enough, leaving my with dry hits. I'm going to try again this weekend, using 3 holes and see if that works. And yes, I have the carto tool from Phiniac as well as a Slap Yo Mama.

Morning Tripsters ... how goes it?

Here Delilah and Reid ... "Kir Fanis Tanks 101". :D

- Put carto in, punch hole close to the bottom, but not so low you can't see 100% of hole (distortions in tank when punching = leaks)

- fill 90% full, if too full, will cause like a "vapor lock" and you will get dry hits.
If you get dry hits, remove fill screw and place mouth over fill hole, and push/blow juice into carto (just a bit). Replace screw before vaping. Once juice level goes down a teeny, it will feed better, it needs some air in the tank.

- If juice level gets real low, below 20%, carto can over feed causing gurgling/leaking. Think of tank as your car, and don't go below 20%. LOL
If you get gurgling, take tank off mod, take off drip tip, tip tank upside down so air bubble is over punch hole. Place small amount of wadded up TP in tip end of carto and blow from mod end. Air hole must be over punch hole or you just blow out more juice. Keeping tank in position, put mod back on, and vape a little with air bubble over punch hole, helps dry out your carto a bit. Then go back to vaping normal.

** all of this should be done with fill screw IN ... only time you take screw out is to fill tank. Don't fill your carto from the top, or vape with it out. Juice WILL leak.
The Kir Tanks are the best I have used so far, and just a few tricks overcome a lot of problems without having to waste another carto.

Reid - yep, sounds like you cartos are getting too bent up.
I still use a saddle-valve thing from ACE. Works the best for me and I can sharpen it easily. (sharp = no bent carto)
I got a Kir Fanis punch, a round kind of thing, and don't like it much, too hard to turn.

(I thought the blow-in-the-fill-hole part would help with your dry hits) LOLOL
