@Cloudmann I've planned on doin a Clapton. Everybody says they put the flavor out. I'm getting enough out of my builds now to more than satisfy me. Just wanted to try one to say I did...

Ok ok ok ok....I'll concede to the men and let ya'll play with your power tools! Have at it men!
Me too. They certainly chuck flavor and vapor like nobody's business. The coil itself acts very effectively as a wick. That said, I'd rather just wick better, use a heavier coil, and save myself lots of time in the build process. They work great, though and are certainly cool.@Cloudmann I've planned on doin a Clapton. Everybody says they put the flavor out. I'm getting enough out of my builds now to more than satisfy me.

Get an easy out (shown below), drive it in securely with a hammer (at least a 16 oz. ball pein) and turn it out with a 15" crescent while putting upward pressure on it. You may damage the tank but if the new drip tip is too loose just do a wrap with duct tape. Seriously
Well here's a new one - my cat just knocked two of my iSticks off of a table and both drip tips on the tanks went flying. One of them, however, broke, with the part that goes into the top of the tank, STILL in it! Of course it was my pretty marble, ming style, blue one too. I love my cat. (stir fried) I love my cat. (Sautéed) I love my cat. (In aspic)
Tell the BlueMing cat to behave.
Deeply sorry for your loss.
I read somewhere a response from them on this was that their prices were already very low.
Okay the broken piece has been removed from the tank. I think I might actually be able to repair it with some Super Glue. 
Thanks everyone for the Sweet-vapes info. There prices are really low already, I wasn't complaining. I have just learned the hard way to check for a code before I actually finalize the purchase. Guess you all know where I'm heading to now. LOL
Eewwww....Okay the broken piece has been removed from the tank. I think I might actually be able to repair it with some Super Glue.
that's how I found out about their response to having no coupons. I googled coupon code sweet-vapes
I think my first reply to this was wrong, the more I read here and in other threads about the workings of a tank, the more I learn. I think you are right, after the experience I had today - it probably IS better to to prime a coil some in the open air, because if you do it soley by drawing unpowered pulls with the coil in the tank, that tank is fairly air tight, and you will be trying pull juice into the wick and that will cause a descreasing air pressure in the air in the tank, which will work against you trying to pull the liquid in. I guess the reason priming in tank with draws on the tip works for me is because I also let the tank sit 10 minutes or so and the air pressures equalize through the wick and it gives it time for the wick to saturate. Today, I had a little evidence of the effects of the pressure of the air in the tank, I went outside the office to vape, it was 97 deg F (hot!) and in just a little while, my GS-Tank got a little gurgling - I figure what happened is that the increased air temperature outside, caused the sealed air in the tank to expand, and pushed more juice up into the coil and throat of the coil. To test this theory (and I have read others say this happens), I took the tank off, turned it upside down, loosened the base to allow the air in the tank to vent and equalize, put the base back on, put it back on the mod, and Eureka! No more gurgling!I agree on that somewhat. I put juice in the air hole too. If you fill a tank, a vacuum is created when you assemble it and turn it up and the juice flow doesn't just immediately run in through the juice holes. The juice has to displace the air in the wick and it does it easier outside the tank when it is new. Sometimes I don't prime them at all, but I always prime my RTAs.
My GS-Tank vaped like a boss, and now I know how to deal with the gurgling issue of my tanks when its hot outside! I also learned from another poster here, that turning the tank upside down and "shaking" it (I leave it on the MOD and sling it down actually) clears the liquid, that worked too.. but venting it like I did was rather elegant, haha. So basically I need to go study how tanks really work from a physics point of view, I know nothing, John Snow. lol
Yeah, I think you're right. I would try a nail first, some of us are men we don't have any nail files, haha. If that doesn't work go to the screw method. that will work for sure.You guys are making it harder than it should...when mine broke, I put the point of a nail file in the hole and popped it right out. Of course, David and Cloudmann's ideas may work better if its in good and tight. Mine weren't.
David, are you an engineer by trade?
Yes, but an electrical/instrumentation engineer, but I play around with mechanical stuff too haha. The only reason I knew about the screw extraction method is because years ago working on cars, electromechanical equipment, sometimes would break a bolt or screw head off and we would drill a small hole in the bolt or screw, screw in what was called a small screw extractor (had reverse threads) and then screw the broken bolt/screw back out with it. A wood screw can do the same thing for something like a drip tip that's made to slip out. So yeah, I break things and have to learn how to fix it, not such a genius, haha.

Perfect, I have used easy outs many times until I learned to quit overtorquing bolts, haha. Overkill for drip tip removal, but quite manly
Your posts remind me so much of a dear friend of mine. He's an engineer too. He just has to know how things work. He'll take stuff apart and put it back together in many ways to see what happens. I just shake my head at him sometimes.

Ok I got my GS air in the mail today, loaded it up and let it sit a good half hour. My first impression is it seemed way to airy so I messed with that for a while and I think I may now be in love! Good flavor a perfect amount of vapor and easy enough to fill for a noob like me. The best part is it hasn't leaked all over me like my Nautilus so that makes it a winner in my book! Thank you everyone for the help and advice!
Well put. That makes a lot more sense than the idea of juice thinning from the heat causing the flooding.I think my first reply to this was wrong, the more I read here and in other threads about the workings of a tank, the more I learn.
