broken seal on nimbus?

[element9633]

anyone else have one of the black cap seals on their nimbus break? I was putting my cap on tonight when it wouldn't go on.. it wasn't until then I realized one of the seals had busted. also im running it on a itaze vv v3 and im just not getting the vape im looking for. am I going to notice a huge difference in power if I upgrade to a mech running an 18350 or something else?

You mean you busted an o-ring? Replacement O Ring and Screws for Nimbus Atomizer - V3tronix - Advanced Vape Tech

FYI: I've never ordered from there before. They seem legit though.

If you get a mech, an 18350 doesn't have very high amp capacity. Most are ~5A, if I'm not mistaken. You WOULD, however, see a huge difference in a mech with an 18650 (IMR Unprotected), and a .8Ω-1.0Ω coil in it.

I use a mechanical mod on my nimbus and with a subohm microcoil and 3.1mm airhole, it hits like a fog machine.

There's a good chance you can find replacement o-rings at a hardware store or machine shop. Most are standard sizes.

Just make sure they are Viton or EPDM (food grade) and wash them properly to remove any improper lubricant put on them from the factory. Not that there is going to be any significant amount but just saying.
