I can only speak to what I see in front of me, and that's a #7 that's 0.055" thick- and note that this is actually thicker than my first Tobeco (the first one was 0.044", I had to take it down to 0.028"). This tells me most likely the cavity has been machined considerably deeper than my first one. And unless the juice control is fully opened- turned against the stop w/some amount of force- the atty will rock due to the excessive clearance. And it leaks when laid on its side.

Could be the luck of the draw but I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else's has the looseness I'm seeing. The leaking comes as no big surprise.
No leaks here.:thumbs: I don't put it down much.:rolleyes: I ordered one more . I couldn't resist with everyone else doing it. Not my fault.

Well you got me thinking about this but I'm a bit confused by what you mean by "cavity" being deeper. I'm thinking that you are referring to the square like machined area inside #3 where the square protrusion of # 8 sits.

I have to blame my purchase on KTMrider. I stated that I had 3 and he had to help justify my getting another. [emoji35] [emoji1] . And just when I was convincing myself not to.

You're welcome! :p

I'm actually tempted to getting another one or 3 just because it's so cheap and this batch is even better than the first.

Dang, I think I may have to order another $10 tobeco from VR, this one is nicer than my tobeco from January, and that one is scratched up after I took the vice grips to it. Also noticed they have HE2, and HE4s BOGO @ $9.95. Might have to pick up some HE4s while I'm at it.

Thats exactly right , i have been rethinking who is the most responsible and there is just no getting around that" KTM rider" is also responsible and must be dealt with.


There is just one way to deal with this of course , we start by kidnapping Mr. KTM and commence a very thorough and severe pummeling about the face and head area .

If he doesn't scream out "Ok , i admit i am responsible" then we must move to total dismemberment and complete disposal somewhere that we all find suitable for this to take place.

Hopefully we can get him to break with the above solution but if he's defiant i'm afraid we will have to get tough.

Just got my 10 dollar Tobecco, it seems more matte finished unless the 5 monthes of use on my first polished it up, the new one is nice, coiled with 26 guage 3mm, kgd, .7ohm, was aiming for higher , must have used 28 g on the old one, its a keeper, waiting on a 50 watt Smowell from GearBest to go with it

Got it, opened the box and has that smell of that oil. It's not greasy or oily to touch, just the smell. It looks perfect. Will take it apart later to clean and inspect thoroughly. Can't beat it for the price!!!

Ooooooh, that smell. Can't you smell that smell? Oooooh, that smell. The smell of oil surrounds you.

I know, it's one nasty smell... A good cleaning and it will be good to go... I just can't believe it was under $10 and shipped in 2 days.

The one I cleaned and built felt and looked clean with very little machine oil smell. I washed it in a white bowl with a couple of drops of dish washing liquid and the water turned a light grey so there was some oil.

I've been using it exclusively on my new Hana Modz v4 for the last 24 hrs. I haven't replaced any o-rings or made any modifications of any kind and it's working perfect. No leaks even on it's side.
