Line #270 came with 2 wire post sizes, one thin soft wire on the short (+) post and thicker silver hard wire on the longer (-) post. The positive post is shorting, small sparks in the hole. Where can I get some of the shielding material to repair this? If I ever get it apart with a quarter I plan to replace the thin post with some thicker 18 gauge silver wire I have.

I have seen a few like yours that were unfinished.

Got my number 587! Interesting that the plastic sleeve on the posts had not been stripped and were much too long but that worked out very well as I was able to configure the posts to my personal preference. This, and my Maxi :) are awesome!

Absolutely no problem at all. If you can't do that little bit then there's no hope for even trying to make a wick and wire element :laugh:

This is really a fantastic item shpaolin! Almost a year into vaping now and I've finally found something that really produces vape like I think it should. Now I think I'm going to have to give in and open the wallet for a high end pv. :unsure:

Is there some special reason they made the short post Pos (+)? Seems to me an improvement on the line V2 would be to make the Pos (+) post the long one. It is very easy to get the wrap too low on the short post and shorting out to the case. If this short post was (-) it really wouldn't matter if it shorted as the case is also ground. Also hot spots are usually on the run to the post and that can melt the isolation, again it would be no problem if the short post was ground. With a long pos (+) post any hot spot on the positive would be far from the isolation.

It does not matter if the tall electrode is + or -. If you prepare your setup
like instructed there should be no problems.
I agree that current flows no matter which is the short or long but keeping the positive the furthest from the ground is mechanically safer. Just my opinion.

There is no shop. Shop is there so Homer has something to do.
You will have to register on the forum and wait for the list to open.

Hi. Nice piece, it's a must have :)
I have registred on vaporwall and I'm waiting for activation.
Do you activate it only when there is a list or as soon as I register?
Thanx.
