Bulli A2-T

[JollyRogers]

Oh and how does the A2-T work well with a genesis setup? I memorized the how-to curious to hear how well it works.

For dripping it is awesome. Blows anything away I have ever tried. However, with the piercing spike in and a tank, I had a lot of issues with partial shorting. I run without the spike some, and use a fatter wick when doing so. Regardless, when it's right, it's awesome though.

Where, prey tell, is the tutorial or how to?

Oh, and as for shipping, doesn't his site say something to the equivalent, to wait two weeks before you inquire about your order?

I'll find the tutorial for you later and post back, but it's on this thread in a post by BigBulli. It's just a step by step list of text.

It says that, but I already received my tracking info, and it has was shipped last week. I'm just not familiar with how long stuff takes to ship from overseas.

Is yours stuck in the ICS New York place as well?

 

[escaladedude]

wow this looks awesome !!

I just had a package from France sit there for 17 days!
I like Chicago customs better.
But I got it...
International shipping normally takes 10-14 days for me.

Just says handed over to Frankfurt for transfer to US :/ Oh, well! I'll be here when it gets here.

hi guys,

i've ordered from bulli sevetal times in the past year. the fastest i received a package was 11 days, and the slowest was 20 days. i live in california.

All gone!!

This one could be transformed into such a more simple and lovely tank system ...

Instead of 2 wicks, just have one wick going up into a tank on the side, trough a cut with some rubber to tighten and prevent leakage, while extending the spike up as a mouthpiece ...

A hole or 2 into the atty head and bingo ...

Or does that already exist? Please tell me if it does, and where to buy it!

I'm wondering if on the t and tm, if you could just run a longer piece of wick up through the spiked nipple instead of having to hit the tiny hole.

 

[JollyRogers]

When I run my A-2TM in geni mode, I just run the wick vertical through the piercing spike and into the tank. It works well if you can avoid a short between spike and mesh. Soooo... what I have done with some success is used no piercing spike and made sure the wick was snug in the Type B tank opening. It worked well like that. I also tried a 5ml bottle dripper to replace the spike, after cutting it to shape, which worked somewhat. I just was a little concerned about melting it. Never had any problems though.

Yes I thought about that as well ... I unfortunately don't own a A2-T and can just hope they will stock them soon since Bulli has a warning not to email him with orders ...

But, the system is actually the similar to the Ego-C which means there must be some leaking trough the spike. I can't imagine the wick really sealing the spike this is why i believe a wick going into the tank on the side (like with Odysseus) is the best option for having clean flood free wicking ...

Btw, anyone else beside Bulli selling those A2s in Europe?

 

[JollyRogers]

@egodzilla. I understand how the Odysseus is designed... But am having a hard time visualizing what you are suggesting for an A-2T setup. ODY wick and coil are on top, sort of like a rebuildable CE2 tank setup. Whereas A-2 the wick and coil is on the bottom and liquid must make its way down to the coil, vice the wick pulling liquid up into the coil... Maybe you could draw a picture of what you suggest?

 

[egodzilla]

I will try to, with my modest drawing skills.

But of course that would not be a modification of the A2 - T, it would require many new parts which maybe are easy to produce for a experienced moder ...

Since I've just got my hands on one AND finally got a halfway free weekend, I'll have to try it. Will give her a go and post back.

OK I understand. I think. I was under the impression you were suggesting the A-2T could be modded as such. But what you are suggesting is someone come up with essentially a rebuildable tank setup, but in the top coil mode of some sort.

 

[egodzilla]

Yes ... There were be several advantages.

1. less wick consumption as one could just cut the used part of the wick
2. exact info about the liquid in the tank left
3. possibly dripping

I think this system would have no leaking what so ever if the slot would be tight. Beside even if there was some leaking it would occur over the wick.

Not the artists achievement. Mock me freely!

p.s. maybe someone already had an idea like this but I haven't seen it done so far ...

 

[JollyRogers]

That is an interesting idea... However, I would prefer the coil on top, with the tank below it... The way you have it, you will still get leakage/seapage eventually. If you tighten the top down to seal for the wick, wouldn't the wick get restricted from flow? Basically, build a large CE2 (think giantamizer) size rebuildable atomizer - which the ODY/iatty are - essentially.

I just bought 2 boxes of type B tanks plus 20 silicon plugs to replace the caps when they wear out. It was very inexpensive. I can use the same Type B tank on my A-2TM for a month with no problems (usually) before I start having a leakage issue. Plus with my low Ω coils, they handle flooding very well

What I have noticed though with the A-2... to much liquid in the coil "chamber" and I get seepage at the threads and also down through the screw connections. To help with this, and since I use it on an eGo during the day at work... I took an old batt tube and cone threads, and made a large ego cone that goes all the way up to the threaded section for the tank and stops at the . It keeps any leakage contained. It also protects my A-2 connection from catastrophic damage incase I were to drop it.

PS: I actually like your drawing and idea.
