According to the video I seen at high dessert vapes, you first unscrew the center pin from the bottom, then you can take off the top and unscrew the tank from the bottom. The reviewer said it was a bear to get loose. Looking at the picture, I think you can see the threads inside and toward the bottom of the tank. (when you put the center pin back in, stop when it's flush. That should work with most but you can adjust it to your mod or battery from there.)
If I order anything, it'll probably be another drunker, but I'm looking forward to your review of the A8. I do like the way they have arranged the air flow.
Ummm, let's see. Houdini???? (Assuming that's what you named the tiny piece you lost lol.)
Edit: Hey Adeline, just how often to you clean your bathroom floor anyways???

Yeah it was Houdini. NO clue how it got there. I was picking up the clothes that I had taken off for a shower and I heard a little jingle. I got really excited because I just KNEW what it was.
I'll be swiffering the damn floor today, thanks!
Something I would like to experiment more with is cotton hybrid wicks. Not cotton/ss mesh but different types of cotton. I tried it only once before with a cotton wool core and cheese cloth outer shell. I'm sure it's just extra work but might be something fun to try.
Yeah I've been dying to wrap cheesecloth around something..
LOL... let us know how it goes
Well I was supposed to get my 36 awg kanthal today, says it was delivered at 3:27pm but nothing in the mail box. Hopefully it was an accident and it's here on monday. I was excited to try some new experimenting.
Well i tried the peaches and cream yarn it gave a funky nasty taste. I tried it with 2 different flavors and tanks with same distinctive nasty taste. Stopped at dollar tree and seen the cotton pads so picked up a pack. Boiled them then dried and redone both coils with the cotton disk. Nasty flavor is gone, so my 2 cents is no yarn and yes i boiled it as well.

The cotton wools like the rounds/pads are way easier to learn simply because they're more quickly absorbant. The weeved cottons like yarn, rope, cloth can be a little tricky to figure out the quirks. I have noticed the tighter weeved cotton materials are trickiest because they take a lot longer to soak and are more sensitive to pressure from the coil and wick holes/slots. Good to hear the rounds are working out for ya.
After welding up some non resistant legs to .75inches of 36 awg kanthal I rebuilt my drunker tank for a 2ohm 4 wrap coil. My theory of thinner resistant wires have a better lower heat control is starting to pan out in the results of my tests. I used my drunker tank because I was having singe problems with my usual 33awg kanthal. The 36awg kanthal has an instant heat response and clouds of vapor. I wouldn't have been able to use 36awg without my wire welder.
Another thing for anyone new thinking of using cotton, I have some thoughts. First is your attomizer, just like any equipment they are not all created the same. For that matter some may be harder to figure out when rigging, the farther away the juice is away from from the coil the trickier it will be to get everything set up perfect. Another thing, I have never had great experience with anything lower or thicker than 33 awg with cotton. The thicker the wire the slower the heat response and higher operating temperature.
So if you are new to cotton I would suggest using an atomizer that has a coil close to the juice and use 33-34awg kanthal. Start with a cotton wool type (cotton balls/rounds/gauze/q-tip) as they are more forgiving and try to shoot for a low ohm coil for a low voltage setup (1.8-2ohm at 3.2-3.7volts).

Sounds like I may need to give 36awg a try. I've been noticing some singing as well, and I've been blaming it (right or wrong) on gunk build up on the coil. I use a lot of vanilla and caramel in most of my mixes and I've been blaming them for causing the quick build up.
My solution thus far is to just replace the wick every 5 or 6 ml. Very easy to do and I don't mind, but for those folks that are having the same problems and have a busy schedule as well, I'm sure they'll appreciate anything you can come up with to extend the life of the wick.
If we look at cartos for an example, I've read reports of them lasting for much, much more than 5 or 6 ml.
You are right, the darker the juice the faster it gunks up. My super dark juice needs a fresh wick about twice a week, but almost completely clear juices can last 1-2 weeks. I'm a big carmel, vanilla, tobacco lover too and they gunk up so quick it's crazy.
Ok I saw the part where in tanks you should let your cotton soak for half an hour to an hour before vaping, but what about in drippers? do you want to drip your juice and wait a half hour before vaping?
Quick question. Does anybody use candle wick any more or does it not wick as well as say, cotton balls?
I let it soak for as long as possible. Maybe that's an hour.. Maybe that's overnight. Depends on you.
Soaking overnight though, I've found is best.
Ditto, it all depends on your patience lol. An hour really is a minimum soak time so you don't burn through the wick. Cotton fibers are like really tiny ribbons that are hollow inside. It takes some time for those little ribbon shaped straws to fill with juice so they don't burn.
Man my patience lvl is extremely low, but I guess I'm going to have to learn some as I really want to use cotton in my new A7.
Yeal, here's my report on vaping right away without any soak time lol. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...nt-cottons-different-wicks-6.html#post8201255
How are you liking the A7? I had it on my radar for a while but decided to go with the dream bt804 instead.
