As I am learning this and that, I wound up with success and failures. Things I like, things I don't.. things I am curious about and lessons learned... along the way, there have been casualties. However, these casualties have served purpose along the way, now and will on into the future.
My advice to you is to not throw anything away at first. Save it. You will learn how to fix it, or cannibalize parts or have spares for testing new ideas.
Example: As I was fiddling with voltages, learning how to deal with leaks and drips, I went through a half dozen heads for my Protank Mini either burning the wicks from too much voltage, or mashing the wicks while dealing with floods and leaks or tearing seals from torquing things down too tightly.
Two months later, I have enough knowledge to re-wick the heads (maybe even rebuild them if I had the wire).. Voila! Now I have 7 good heads from what was previously my graveyard.
