Do you fiddle with your thingy?

Coloredcapscoloredcapscoloredcaps..must be patient..I can wait..good things come to those who..wait for colored caps..

I love my painted ones, I'm glad I got them before they went away. I've had zero problems with them, even the sparkly glitter ones are totally intact and so beautiful. And what's so bad about a little paint anyhow? I lived through the 70's! Back in my days, everyone ate paint, and
we were darned grateful to have it, lead and all!

I finally got some ultra tacky girl j-wraps..baby blue, cheetah, pink camo and zebra (of course!) to match up with my collection of silly treasures. (Hello Kitty, skull & crossbones, Molehill Mountain jungle animal pattern charms; rose drip tips in black, blue and pink etc.) Cheetah already has the perfect Ibtank match: the Ultimately Awesome Black Hills with the golden glitter caps. The others will have to wait a little while more. I like stainless steel as a material but it doesn't match with stuff! ;->

Quick question, is it normal for ther to be juice at the bottom of the thingie after priming the carto? I did it 15 times but had some juice at the bottom of it afterwards. The flange seems flush at the bottom of the tank. Love the tankl btw thank you OCD

I haven't had this problem but if you prime the carto with too much juice, some will leak from the bottom of the carto's connector since it has nowhere else to go. A couple drops of juice isn't a bad thing really -- I like to think that a little juice from the bottom means that the inside is completely saturated and ready. As long as air flows freely through the carto, you're all good.

Next time you prime with your thingy, crank it a couple times less. In fact depending on the carto you're using, 15 cranks may have been a little overkill. You'll eventually get a feel for it though and be able to prime without getting juice in the bottom at all.

I like stainless steel as a material but it doesn't match with stuff! ;->

Maybe its because I'm a guy but I feel like stainless steel matches EVERYTHING... haha.

I figured I flooded it, it is an xl carto and I dripped about 10 drops in before loading. Thanks, tank is AWESOME though!!!

Natasha, the carnival tubes will possibly be back up in the next two weeks. I am finally beginning to get a little ahead on inventory of glass which means the girls can stock more of the colored tubes. The painted caps will not be back but the acrylic should be getting real close too. All of these may be in limited numbers to start with but I will do what I can to keep them in stock once we do list them back up.

Lol on the other comments folks, yes we thought it was pretty dang cool too. We are hoping this turns into a good relationship that will carry our brand over there. We send big wholesale orders all over the world but this one took us by surprise.

I hope you'll remember all us little vapers when you become famous and stuff.

Hmmm... I'd like my tanks autographed b4 you ship them, plz, OCD.

OCD, I just ordered another 25mm tank, but not the complete tank option. If I order the 25mm tank and 25mm caps separately does it still come with the same amount of orings and washers? The product description doesn't mention washers.

Billy, I usually fiddle until I get one drop out of the cart. I then pull it out and tilt the tank upside down (so the holes are not surrounded by fluid) and gently blow through the carto with the thread end in a paper towel. This is in case I flooded the carto with my fiddling. Refill the tank. Drip a few drops on the top end of the carto. Vape away.

 

[OCD]

Yes Billy as Ed noted it will happen if you fiddle a bit too much. You dont need to get it that wet but it doesnt hurt anything, I dont even add to the top as some do after fiddling. I just put about a quarter of a 19mm XL tank into the carto then do the draw and quick taps on the power until it is going. Its pretty easy to tell once you got the coils wet just go a little past that then longer presses on the power. Takes a few minutes to get a carto going this way but once it is going you are good for the next week or so... I think the carto I am using right now is probably close to 2 weeks in the tank. Seems like it is starting to try and flood at times and I just turn the heat up and make sure I draw lighter for a little while to dry it back out some and just keeps going.

May, the colored caps are the next thing I am going to be working on. We just dumped a ton on cartos to try and get past the shortages we have been going through. We will be offering both the standard and XL punched/flanged Smok cartos on the site once they come in. Unfortunately we are about out of the ones we have been sending with complete tanks so until they come in we will not be offering the complete tanks when they run out. Folks can still purchase caps and tubes as always and the complete tanks should be back in a few weeks.

Lol on the color though. I know you guys love that and we are doing some things you will appreciate. On the painted caps, we had a very few reports of issues with them and I believe it was in part due to corrosive juices. I know many of you loved them but they presented the support possibility that could be tough for us and we really have to focus to be able to offer the best product and price we can possibly present to our customers.

Ocelot, who could forget you folks? Our customers are the best, this whole experience has been pretty incredible for us and you can bet we know which side our bread is buttered on ... and stuff

Hehe, funny Natasha. Maybe the OCD signature series?

BA, all cap sets come with the extra orings and all tubes come in a thingy so if you order caps and a tube you got a complete tank ready to add a carto and drip tip.

Received my 2 19mm Standard Tanks. Loving them. Had a bit of trouble putting in the cartos but i just lubed up the o rings and worked fine.

Hee hee. I'm thinking the signature series is going to be a big seller, OCD.

I get it now! Repeat application of pressure and suction is the whole point of fiddling ones thingy. Really gets them juices flowing. Prior to this thread, I just thought of it as a neat, yet somehow useless accessory.

LOL... well you are faster on your feet than I am. There were tears rolling down my face when I read Watt's post, but I could not think of a damn thing to say!

Okay, I admit it, I am the densest person on the planet. I went back to the very first page, but only made it to 20 until my attention span gave out (guppy brain here). I still do not understand how to fiddle. Do you fill up the tank with juice and then put it in the thingy? I don't have any trouble priming cartos, but not comprehending the fiddling thingy with the thingy is driving me up the wall!

Aside note: It was nice to read on page 15 or so that I'm not the only person who has had annoying experiences with the washers.

I am anxiously awaiting my first IBTank so I can practice fiddling with my thingy!

Post #808 and post #813. Did that help?

Ocelot, the OP in this thread details the process. Cliff notes version

New carto in tank
Fill
Put in thingy
Screw cap on and off 10 to 20 times (aggressive fiddling is sometimes more effective)
Vape

Came across another little gem I thought I would share. This has to do with the occasional burbbling (bubbling/gurgling) you sometimes get on cartos if they are feeding a little faster than the juice is being vaped. Seems to me it tend to happen most often towards the end of a cartos life so I usually will ditch them if they start acting up.

So, the little refilling drip tip is nice and long and makes it a great tool for my deburbbling. Just slide the tank up like you are going to refill it making sure the hole in the carto is outside of the tank and vape for awhile like that. You dont want to lay it down on its side like this but I have had no issues vaping this way. Since the hole is outside (below the bottom caps oring) of the tank it cannot draw in any more liquid and it will dry up an overly wet carto. Worked like a charm and saved my swapping this one out for now, might get a few more days before I change it Looks a little funny with the tank slid up the carto but I'm not in this to impress anyone so whatever works goes for me

I really did try to understand. I don't read very well sometimes. Thank you for the condensed version. I shall proceed to fiddle.
