Man I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the vector but it sizzles and pops like crazy!! Either it's my wick or the legs are too long or I just don't get along with this atty. The vape is super harsh and I've rebuilt this thing like 5 times. It is super soaked with juice so that's not the problem. Does the cotton need to cover the left leg?? Please help me fix this vector issue lol.

I enjoyed my geyscano but recently fried the board (my mistake). Was thinking of getting another but will probably hold out for the cam-r. It did prove to me that I do like regulated squonking.

Can't deny any of those points because they are true but I will say it has come in handy and for $70 not a bad emergency mod. Btw no one will laugh at you after what I'm about to admit to.....that cheap atty that comes with it has become one of my favorite...so much so I traded A RM2 for an extra.:blush::facepalm::blush::facepalm::blush::facepalm:

I have a regulated sx350 Svapiamo mod that I use daily, a certain juice I use sings around 25-30 watts, just doesn't work on a full mod soon after a full battery starts falling back. My REMatty on it is one of my favourite vapes I believe mainly cause of the consistent power a chip provides.

Only have the one regulated, waiting on a Tmod regulated but they definitely have a place

Hi folks, this is my first post here. I was introduced to bottom feeding by a good friend who gifted me a couple of Tom's attys. One is a HellBoy that I really love but it leaks pretty bad. The cap is very loose and it has leaked by the O-rings since new. I was thinking about trying different sized O-rings. Any suggestions?

Well got the vector strung up and for me its almost perfect two holes open on each side with coils just below the top cap and its the perfect balance of flavor and clouds. Now i still love the derringer for the flavor and when im at work I dont like fogging up my control room but for sitting around at home or on the deck this vector is amazing and will be perfect when the new top cap arrives. 28g daul twisted 2.5mm at .45ohms.

Tom, I got my Atty3 today. Thank you very much ! I'll build it tomorrow when I'm more coherent. Biggest question is will I put it on my REO Grand LP or Woodville. Hmmmmmmm... Oh my, I may just need to visit Reo to have a look see at a new LP. Don't want to give up new Odin, and for sure don't want to delete my Derringer.

Welcome to the wonderful world of squonking! Good to see you here:D Don't have a Hellboy so don't know about the rings. Tom can probably shed some light on the oring size.

27 gauge 7 wraps on 2.5 mm coil master tool. Maybe the Vector just isn't for me.

Try a touch more or less wick, assuming you're using cotton. If that doesn't work, recoil with two more wraps. I usually have bad luck below eight wraps.

A little off subject but we all talk about our vape buying addiction and most everyone in this section has it or we wouldn't be here buying all these great atties so i sit here bouncing between threads vapin on this newly acquired vector (loving it) I decide to re-wrap my 18650 batteries and as i gather them from all the many different places a keep a stash i realize I am a battery hoarding fool. I have 58 and that's not including the other off sized batteries as well, so hi my name is Mike and I'm anything vape related addict.

Hmm, where do your coils sit in relation to the air holes? Saw someone else post 8 wraps, I also use 8 wraps. 26ga on 2mm.

Tom I acquired one of the nectar nano's that you had. Have a quick question , how do I take it apart to clean?
Why would you do such a thing? Rinsing should suffice. I have never disassembled an atty to clean it. The likely hood of braking the v1 center pin is pretty high to be honest. My revision 2 is much stronger. I actually had to tighten mine down today and I worked beautifully. What serial number?

Bikenstein:
Which version do you have? There was one that would only accept the big proprietary drip tip (v1) or the one that came with the adapter to use a standard drip tip. (V2). I have a pile of non BF v2s I would gladly sell for $5 each for parts. I believe they come with 2 sets of o-rings. LMK.

I also have v2s in black so with a parts kit you could have alternate colors and new o-rings.
