Hi Guys

I contacted MarkB this morning and he came straight back to me with some suggestions to try regarding my shorting issue so will give them a try tonight. :)

In the meentime hers some pics of the gap I was speaking of.

1) With coil in
2) With coil removed
3) With screws removed.

Your deck is sitting just right, no issues there.

The top of the pin and top of the deck should be lined up, and yours definitely is

OK I finally got some time to get this bad boy going on my WAEII.

Mark Bugs never ceases to amaze me. When the hybrid connector is adjusted correctly, the grips are equidistantly spaced from the display, and the air hole is exactly centered over the fire button !!!

Why The GEM?

Top 10 Reasons why The GEM could be THE Atty to get in 2015 ;)


1. Size Vs. Capacity (space utilization done right)
2. -Fuel- :p juice Consumption (hi-efficiency atomizer)
3. Easy to Coil & Wick (and Maintain)
4. Looks Cool (Especially when hybridized to a WAE. Also airhole & grips line up)
5. Easy to Refill (Fill with the atty atop your mod. No leakage!)
6. Simple Accessibility of the Deck (Fast & easier than unthreading the tank)
7. Build Quality, Materials, Fit & Finish (hmm, its MarkBugs ~ what did you expect!)
8. Nice VTF (Airflow is right ~ and TH/Vapor production/Flavor is comparable to top-of-the-line attys)
9. The Price is Right (for all the accessories & parts you get. Lower than many other similar attys)
10. Fast & Easy Re-wicking (yep, in a jiffy. The fastest one out there as of now)

And yes, I'm making a video about the above this weekend :)

Ps.: The foregoing is IMHO :cool:

Q man, you said it... this thing is just awesome. up until now my favorite tank has been the rose. def an awesome tank but it was so heavy and bulky that I had to machine it down and remove a lot of extra bulk at the top of it to make it's size manageable. I thought it was pretty decent then, but man, now the rose on an 18500 is still just as long as the gem on an 18650 :lol:

this is a killer atty man, wish I could buy more, def going to get at least one more for now though. the rose had a god run but man, seeing these things side by side now I can't wait to replace it with a gem :)

Q, not only does this conserve juice, it conserves battery. I'm getting the same vape quality at 13.5 watts as I did with my squape rs at 17 watts. Amazing is what it is.

BTW, just found out that Sammy 30Qs work in the WAE2 (25Rs didn't). I had been using HG2s since they arrived, but good to know both the hot new 3000mah batts are good to go, giving us max time with our favorite new RTA ;)

I'm using the lg hg2 and the battery is still showing full from 4 hours ago.

Yeah, on my last HG2 I filled up the tank multiple times before the battery got low, and it was still going when I switched, lol.

It helps even more that I'm vaping the GEM at 15w too, it gives off such a good vape at 12-15 watts it's incredible [emoji14]

ha, yeah bro these things are pretty rare, I think mark only made 13 of the WEII M's (medium 18500), all the others are L's (large 18650) mine is [HASHTAG]# 13M[/HASHTAG] :) I've searched and searched but never could find another for sale... not sure if any 18500 apprentices were made though in SS, might be able to find one of those? I've never had a SS one myself, only the Ti, really can't wait for the Ti gem, I need 2 :D

How were the WE2 Ms initially sold? I didn't even realize there was an 18500 version of the WE2
