There's a "that's what she said" written all over that. Ironically, as Ocelot is a she, SHE REALLY DID SAY THAT! bwahahahaha

Anyway, back on topic. I tried the little green pads too, they didn't work so good. I don't really have a lot of equipment though so my issues are rare and I can just use the other PV.

I actually use other devices more than a Protank, but I get hooked on puzzles.

Yeah. I prefer carto-tanks personally. Dripping is cool if I'm at home, but my coils still suck and all my juice is 18mg that just chokes the hell outta me when I drip it. TH is freaking amazing from dripping...Maybe too amazing.

My fix was just to pack some paper around the threads of my eVic (under the top collar). Conversely, for my IBTanked to work well on my Vamo, as my carts are flanged, but IBTanked doesn't fit a recess for the flanges, I just wrapped printer paper around the collar, electric taped the paper in place, and punched a few holes in it with a toothpick. Restricted the airflow and no gunk remains when I pull it off!

I prefer flanged cartos. I find not accidentally pulling or pushing them too far outweighs how much they stick up on my mods. I also like not having a recess at the bottom, since it makes hot swaps easier. Have you seen my video?

ETA: This was the fix I used on my Protank before I discover the paper reinforcers.

I don't believe I have.

I think I'm on the side of flanged carts, but I prefer having the recess. I have a generic Smoktek with the recess that I like more than my IBTanked just because the airflow and draw are more agreeable to me. Again, airflow control solves this, but I also get problems with my IBTanked leaking if I try to refill in the usual fashion. I have to remove the top cap and fill that way, praying I don't flood when I put it back on.

Click on the link at the bottom of my signature it will take you to the video. It's very short. I fill the flangeless ones using the push the carto down with a SYM tool method, but I have to be very, very careful when I pull it back up so I don't pull it too far.

The Vobbit Hole
I tried the little green pads you put under stuff to protect table tops too, but they were too thick and I had trouble getting the hole perfectly in the center.

I want to try those on the bottom of my MVP to keep it from rocking on its output on/off button.

Is that a Hello Kitty bandaid??? ROFL!!! I gotta admit Ocelot, you always manage to get a smile when you pop on a thread.

If you're serious about trying them, a regular hole-puncher makes pretty close to the right size hole, but I had a hard time getting it centered.

And yes, it was a band-aid. It actually worked quite well, since band-aids have tiny breathing holes and the airflow wasn't completely blocked.

Another member came up with this for the MVP. Using something small and stiff, press the button and button "plate" in a couple times. Change the switch position and do the same on that end. May have to do it a couple times to seat the button.
