YES, need some old Phoenix BC's fellow penguin? Wife is the Pondering Penguin.

Thanks for the offer but I ordered some along side the Raven :D

Also, I was just reconsidering weather or not Penguins like seals. Don't seals eat penguins? You had me tricked for a minute. You're working for THEM aren't you? :blink:

I'm a little relieved this all turned out to be more than my imagination. When I started posting that I was having problems I felt bad about posting negative comments about such a highly anticipated product.

I'm glad I remembered Lord Davon pointing out the seal in his video and referring to that part as "phoenix technology". Else we might still all be scratching our heads.

Oh crap, you musta drove out my direction :lol::lol::lol:

Looking at the maps, yes, it was :) The office I used to go to was off 71 out near the airport.

Man, that city had some of the best food I've ever had. I'd go down there every couple of months for a few years. The Ironworks was a must visit at least 3 times a week, once for lunch for a chopped beef sandwich, and twice for dinner for the ribs. And there was this great little Mexican place where I got the best fajitas I've ever had in my life. Can't remember the name right now, only that it was "on the other side of the highway", which is how the locals referred to the Mexican section :).

So for those of us that have a plethora of Phoenix BC parts, question is will a air-tube transplant and seal make them work.

Chris dismantled one of the originals as shown below. The parts look the same, no?

I believe Chris said that he had cut that tube off with a dremel just to show the inside.

As you get older you’ll find there is less difference between the predator and the pray, survival I over decades works it all out between the seals, now still working on the cotton wicks and bunny tails on top of the silicon wicks and how to do it on the bottom coils. Another frog to kiss wanting it to be become my vaping prince.
Have you tried the SMOKtech Shorty?

Is this problem with the replacements cartos, the whole Raven unit or both?....:blink:

Replacement cartos and the carto that comes with the tank. The tank it's self is really nice!


KWC are you asking me if I've tried the shorty? If so, no, I haven't. I'm looking for stuff to hold more juice. Not less. lol.

sometimes less is better, they are like a atty that doesn't flood and you can drip into 8-12 drops a time, just my $.02
It's a nice tank, should fit a punched Fusion

I've got a Phoenix Bully RBA coming probably tomorrow. Those'll hold about that many drops too from what I understand. Depending on how I wick it I guess. I'm looking forward to the vapemeet this Saturday to see what everyone uses and what works for them.

i almost got the vice grips out to get mine apart, did it with two pliers and [needless to say] there was no tube in mine

So it did come apart? Without damage? I was hoping you could get to the inner tube and remove it for cleaning purposes (like the Phoenix 1.5 and 3ml) but from the original picture and Chris's post about the dremel, I thought it was solid unit. If you look closely at the Raven pic above you can see where it has been cut.

NO not without damage, it was totaled, maybe the inner tube and seal could be removed but to take the outer tube from the bottom coil is going to be a destruction of the unit
Maybe not, just looking at the one i destroyed and if i had been less a roughneck it might have come apart better, got LOTS to try it on, I'll get back on this but too late to fire up the torch

I'm thinking of removing it to opening the hole for better vaping, looking like there is a inner ring that could be moved up to open the top of that tall slot. Then a "bunny tail" of cotton could be put on top of the coil like i do on the Phoenix's, I'l work on it

HaHa, I'm not too far from the airport ;) Ironworks is quite yummy!! Fajitas on the east side...I would have to guess Juan in a Million?

WAIT wait WAITTTTTTT----I am in contact with manufacturer those ARE supposed to have inner tube and seal...production line foul up probably because they were rushing these out the door. I am trying to contact them. I did NOT personally have these to test, chris and a few others...but when i had them that night I was just rushing to get them up...either way will get to the bottom of this and take care of this you can be sure...

I am sure this was NOT intended to leave out that part of the assembly...

Well CRAP! You can only drive child labor so hard before things start getting messed up. LOL

KIDDING!

Hopefully at least SOME of the Ravens you guys sent out will have been built correctly.:unsure:
