That's the correct method for tightening the center post. Just a thought: has anyone applied a layer of VG to the upper afc o-ring to protect and seal the afc?

I juice all my o-rings before I put them back together the first time, never fail. I don't want to be changing them all the time so I keep them happy.
That being said I believe the whole reason the Rogue didn't stay here was air flow issues. I had no mechanical issues with it. Bottom line for me is adjustable airflow. Sometimes I want it wide open and sometimes I do not. With the Rogue unless I want do diddle around and use things to plug holes, there is no closing it. Therefore, not for me.
I've said before, I want attys I can build and vape and require no diddling! (I have other things that I have allotted my lifetime diddling minutes to)
Has anyone used the marquis before? I'm wondering how the vape is compared to the Veritas? I'm probably one of the only people who doesn't really care for the Veritas. I don't get the flavor from it that I can get in other attys, and I've tried a ton of different builds. (No need for suggestions on builds, thanks ahead of time!)
I'm very intrigued by the vertex though. My all time favorite atty right now is the plume veil, so I compare everything to it. Chowder how's the vape on the vertex compared to a plume veil?

I am able to completely shut off my airflow on my Mephisto to where I get a tight MTL draw. It isn't really a good air flow regulator, it's either off or on. If I open it just slightly, I can to a straight lung hit. But I love the Mephisto, even with the big holes in the posts. It definitely limits one to building with bigger wire, or twisted wire. But the flavor I'm experiencing from it is tremendous! The N22 AFC will shut off completely, and wide open it's just barely enough to get a lung hit, but sufficient. It is also great on flavor. I love the N22, bought 2 of them, and am truly in love with the Rogue. It's small chamber really gives the flavor I love, plus the ample airflow for the builds I like to do in the .3-.5 range. For those who don't like the airiness, I would recommend the Veritas or N22. I'm looking forward to both the Marquis and Derringer.
I think it's easier to just adjust the way you draw on an atty rather than messing with the AFC all the time and i run all of mine wide open.
If i take gentle little draws, even on the Dark Horse, i can get a reasonable MTL thing going on. That's typically first thing in the morning. Thereafter i'll slipstream a little until i'm up to juice-sapping lung-buster hits as the day wears on.

I like the reviews i've seen of the Marquis, because although i know it's not the vape for me, it's refreshing for atty makers to think about and try and help the poor sods with only two hands that have to coil them!

I lubed. Put the afc cap on upside down, the center clearly protrudes but is level right side up. Does this indicate an inner gap, keeping the afc wide open no matter the setting?
My Rogue is on hiatus at the moment. I just can't make up my mind on it. I have tried different tips on it and have seen no difference at all. Even tried the M-Flux I have. Like I said, no difference. I really like the concept of the atty but getting the right build in it is key. I found that getting the coils as high and close to the side walls and AFC is definitely better but still not quite right. I think wicking is a key to getting it to vape better also. Probably cotton or rayon I would assume. Maybe there is just too much room still in the chamber with my RxW setup in it. It is a 22mm atty and as previously mentioned, it will not vape the same as a Cyclone, Reactor, or such. I do believe the atty was build or designed with the cloud chasers in mind. I for the most part am not part of that crowd. I have not had a problem getting clouds, it's the density of the cloud that I'm just not getting with the flavor. It's one or the other, not both at the same time. The Nuppin' and Mephisto just put out thick dense clouds with a ton of flavor as well.
Couldn't a "trade" thread be created in this sub? There's one on the reo forum
Agreed. I have a couple I'd like to get rid of too. A trade thread would be a great idea. Not every atty works for everyone, it'd be nice to not be stuck with something that you won't use.

I'm not a cloud chaser as such either. Although, I tend to vape on the low end of the ohms spectrum (not as hot as T!), so clouds are a necessary byproduct. I'm mostly looking for that super hit and great flavor. The Nupping is one I haven't managed to get it right yet. All of the others, not much of a problem, even the Veritas, which is a PITA, I finally got OK. I have been trying the RxW on a few, and I just can't get what I want with it, so I go back to rayon or KGD. I've tried using one of the others, the kind of atty that is like trying to suck a golfball up a straw, and just doesn't do anything for me. And having an atty product monster clouds, but no flavor also doesn't do anything for me either.
I think this would be an awesome idea. Reo has one, even my main juice vendor, Nicoticket has one. Tom, can't we do something like this?
But Beck and i are practising to show that Chinese dude how to vape at 260W on his Vicious Ant, without coughing lungs up!

I will be the first to say RxW isn't for everyone... I have found it to be the most consistent wicking for my vape. I have finally found a use for the 3mm size as of late. I have both Mephisto's set up with 3mm now and they have been working great. It wasn't until I tried a 2.5mm coil that things picked up, but recently, (thanks to MacTechVpr), tried a 3/32" coil and it elevated both flavor and vapor production. As to the Nuppin', I still have the same coils and 2mm RxW in it from November 1st when I received it and built it for the 1st and only time. I'm afraid to re-build it cause I'm afraid it just won't be as good. Don't know what I did right, but its the only atty I have built and hit it on the 1st try...
Too scared to recoil and wick it? Ought to have bought a carto then 
Course you can!

It was the only thing I didn't like about it. I sold mine but it's not the Mephisto fault but my in experience in all attys but the RM2 which is the only atty I knew (Hornet excluded)
I'm slowly learning what I like and don't and in that process I'll keep sending $ TO CH till I do.
