Dang, it's posts like that when we need a DisLike button Cause I sure didn't want to like the fact of the loss.

LOL, .99 cents for the part, 4.00 for shipping !!!

And time spent pacing back and forth in front of the window watching for the VapeMail deliverer.

Sigh...... just watched #7 float down the drain....... The JC doesn't move with #9 tightened with #7 missing. And the spare parts bag I ordered didn't include it.

Ouch. I've seen guys clean atomizer parts in a strainer. I have a strainer thingy (technical term) covering my drain but I've almost lost a few small parts.

#9 is very likely the issue as ricks and dwcraig1 said earlier. Remember, #9 hides out under the insulated nut that the 510 screws into. To repeat, #9 needs to be tight. If tightening it seizes up the juice ring, consider thinning #7 as outlined in an earlier post. Some people use a shim between #3 and #8 to achieve the same basic result, but to me adding another joint in the electrical circuit seems like a step in the wrong direction as far as resistance goes but reports are that it works just fine- your choice.

The connection is from (1) to (9) so even with a washer, it retains the same connection.

Maybe order a few extra spare parts?

I couldn't tell you for sure. There from FT so I would assume the worst.

Question for you, can you tell if these are painted glass, or colored glass? Reason I ask is some of the other colored glass tanks they sell go both ways, Pro-Tank glass comes to mind, wouldn't mind the cheap ones if they aren't painted, otherwise I'll probably be hitting up Spectrum, or IBT.

The latex, and other gloves do help tremendously, but for the real stubborn stuff I do use tape, it not only adds some grip, but you can also build it up enough to get some additional leverage.

IBtanked has some nice glass for the K4 if you want to buy local.

For the missing #7, McMaster-Carr has a few washers that could be made to work. Using a 0.500" ID gives quite a few. One is a PTFE flat washerThe OD would need to be worked to fit, as will the thickness in most cases.

I wonder how many of those clones have ended up in the trash by people who don't know anything about these forums. I don't own one( I have an authentic) but I would be pretty frustrated with something that leaks or doesn't work as advertised.

Thanks, that is where I ordered, I got 2 #7s and 2 #12s. Didn't think of getting #4s.......

Ol' Blue showed up today. I love the color of it. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Sure IS purdy! Is it a Tobeco? Cost? Source? Time to deliver?

How's the color durability? I always end up dropping and scratching stuff.

If you were to try on an inconspicuous inside surface, would it scratch with say a thumb tack, and would then the naked stainless show under the blue color?

I did try to scratch it and I was unsuccessful.

Just got my updated EHPro base in today. It does come apart. So all is soaking now. My seller also included two extra springs. They appear to be a little beefier than the stock spring. Even included a pre-paid padded mailer to send them back my old base. This seller has gone way out of their way to make this right even though none of this was of their doing. Hopefully this will be the thing that gets this bad boy working as it should.

Know its kind of frowned upon on ECF, but when I read about outstanding resellers like yours, like to know who they are for future purchases & throwing my biz their way.
If this violates any ECF rules .... please ignore!

Don't know why they would. Great vendors (as well as bad ones) should be plastered everywhere.
