Zero what do you mean it is adjustable? how?

and got my batts today and woah... FOG MAchineee! the girlfriend thought i was fishbowling the bedroom with vapor today hahaha. the "seasoning phase" is off to an awessommee startt!


The clear tube that is between the mouth piece and atty has a matching hole that can be twisted to restrict or increase airflow.....

If yours does not it's as simple as making a hole in the plastic hose the same size as the atomizer hole and pushing it down to match up with the Atty hole.

Now just twist to increase or decrease Airflow...

Hope this makes sense...:thumb:

Has anyone attempted to clean there JB atty?

Clean, as in dry burning?

Right now since the JB has been working just fine except for the initial break in, I'm in the if it ain't broke don't fix it mode.

Would be really curious to see someone try a long dry burn on the carlos atty later on, maybe similar to HighPing's or DaMulta's methods.

If you mean clean as in flushing out using liquid, I had to do that initially to get out the manufacturing smell by dripping PG down the throat of the mouthtube through the atty down the feed tube into a small container and emptying the container once in a while over a period of about 3 or 4 days.

After that, the smell was gone and the JB's been vaping the way I expected it would.

I'd like to do some minor mods to the body for a better hand fit for me and placement of the switch later on but I suspect like others, we modders are behaving until most everyone who's been waiting patiently for their JB's get it in their hands. Otherwise, it's almost like rubbing salt into wounds should we start posting about it.

BOY, you folks are too fast for me! I was about to post the following when I saw there have already been replies. But hey, guess I'll post it anyway!

Hi Zero, here are some brief references I've come across over time in the JB Fans forum (related to the initial unwanted taste some boxes have had):

Kismayaz: You can take the atty out and soak it in everclear if you need to wash out a funky taste or a juice flavor you don't care for. Just be careful not to soak the ends of the wires. Blow through both ends of the atty to clean it out. Dry with paper towel and q-tips and you're good to go.
umjim: Finally got the nasty taste out by using 2-alcohol rinses and running a lot of liquid thru it.
Ralph T: I took the atty out last night and flushed it with hot water for about 10 minutes, [...] maybe a vodka soak I guess and see if I can eradicate it that way that.
conrad: 3. if you have crap going back into the bottle.you need to clean with pga or crest(crest worked better for me)

In the land of no hills and red dirt
I have been informed by Kuya Dave that both of our juice boxes may have been repaired and shipped yesterday, or else may be in the mail soon. Apparently, he can gain an audience with the Juice Pope easier than the rest of us mere mortals...;)

No official word from Carlos yet.

Grats Rbonie..
Told ya didn't I? Hint Hint
Tip bottle half way. squeeze then screw it on. (Forgets who tipped that)
Just light squeezes. when the taste gets bad its out of juice.
How u like the airflow adjustment?
Didn't work on this unit. The "weld" joint at the end of the atty was to big for the hose to go over. Took some JB Weld Stick and covered hole and gently poked a hole in it at the vent. Took some playin to get the right airflow but it works great!!! I like a little resistance when I pull on it. (er did that sound as perv to you as it did to me??? oooppss) Oh well... you know what i mean!!!8-o
PS... This thing is a hoss!!!!
