Replace it with the "other" screw in the spares bag. They r of different sizes, specifically included in the package by Perseas for the purpose.

I changed out the screw and its perfect. Wish I would have paid attention to that in the first place. Thanks again

you dont need 50 different meters like that one and an inline voltage meter, a simple multimeter will do all of that for you. any time I see a reviewer using one of those or a VV mod instead of a meter, it makes me cringe, esp. since those inline meters dont accurately measure voltage at the coil under load and also esp. if they are the ones reccomending people to try dual coils at super low ohms (also please remember that on any dual coil setup, the resistance of each of your coils needs to be twice as high). Every RBA user should have and be using a meter to check coils before they go on your mod, voltage drop @ the coil on new mods, batterys before/after they charge etc etc...

True. I skipped all those meters and picked up one Multi instead.

Gr8. And if u already don't have one - fetch a Kayfun Lite, top the Paps with it - and experience your world rock like it never did before, except while during your first kiss that is ;)

Over the last couple of days I rebuilt my diver to a more appropriate (for me) 1.5 ohm with a little ekowool and then popped it back into the SnP tank. The prior setup was leaking and I couldn't quite figure out from where. Didn't seem to be the o rings. Well, even after the new build it leaked bad again. argggg!. After about 4 hours of monkeying around with it I just pulled the diver out, set up a regular carto and bang....NO LEAKS. Guess I need to work on my diver building. The good news is that the SnP tank works great...

Q! Just so you know, I can not wait until you get other gennys/atomizers, just so you know they are as good if not better!
in fact, I may snap and send you one. :)

No need to apologise buddy, we post so many things here that, I ask myself many times, if I have posted something or not about our mods :) When George and me design a mod we make and repeat many silly things during the brainstorming process and the testing period and an external observer would consider us as completely idiots (not too far from the truth :D)

...and this G & P duo (with a third ;)) are doing a wonderful job at it! At both fronts, R&D as well as Delivery. No other modder has impressed me as much as this G & P combine, yet.

Sounds like it could be the ceramic in the diver not secure enough(pressed in). Are you using NR wire? if so, silver? As it is a bit more yielding than Nickel and R wire to wrap on the outside.
When the pin is pressed in it can dislodge the cup a bit.
Just spitballin brother

I also set up my spheroid today (Thanks Idaho and Qorax) using the tips provided and it is now in my rotation. I did struggle a bit with the little knurled nuts to tighten down the coil ends but I have the same challenge with gennies that have the knurled nuts. I really like the phillips head screws better for that part. At first the draw was a little tight for me so I opened it up and raised the wick just a little bit which helped. I think I had the wick almost covering the air hole. The flavor is great with clouds of vapor. I was waiting on the new Piccolo switch parts since I bought it for the Piccolo but it works really well on the Paps too. :)

Which'd be like?
Sir, I have gone thru these RBAs till date: Genesis types, Odysseus types, Dripping types and then the Kayfun types. Pls direct me to the rest... I'd like to try them as well (slowly though as my budget permit).

Yes, the Spheroid is a wonderful GP invention... me too have the K-Lites and the Spheroids under rotation. Well, actually the only ones under usage since the Diver is just not holding up lately. And having stowed the Gennys, Cartos and Oddys already.

What's up with the diver?!

Q, you just listed all your clones and the Kayfun and thankfully our beloved spheroid.
You really want me to list better devices? By vapor production, flavor, ease of set up, all around performance? It's all subjective my northern brethren.
I really like the Kayfunsicles but there is so much more out.
Imo, nothing beats a ss mesh set up nice genny in flavor.
Steam turbine, Ithaka, ody, ufs with killer. A diver for flavor loving the snp, Mini b for a straight up dual coil ... kickin, stratus 22, agr tanks......
But we must compare apple's to apple's, drippers to drippers, top feeders to top feeders, genny to genny, bottom to bottom feeders, etc.

Your to much of a got to have guy, in a week you will be bored of the kf and want more in the rotation brother.

Nah, if that's a polished Spheroid, it sucks, you should sell it to me and pick up a bead blasted later this week.:D

yeah qorax idabro is right. the kayfuns are OK but you need to get your hands on a decent genny. also if you love the kayfun, you MUST try the ithaka, it will blow your mind with just how awesome it is. I just recently got one after putting it off for a while and now I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner. and set up with dual coils it just blows the kayfun lite away, as well as the 3.0/3.1's with the vortex chamber, the ithaka's got a smaller chamber and far more options, and is just a better atomizer all-around..... but imo, nothing silica/eko can ever compare to a decently set up high end genny like the doodley bug or turbine.

Flavor is a subjective call - no way to quantify one experience as universally better, imo.

For me, the king of the flavor heap is just about any dripper; in my experience, even a cheapo AGA-x delivers a warmer, thicker, more intense flavor than the KF or any of my gennys. BUT, and it is a rather sizable posterior, the balance of flavor for the juices i prefer are better preserved in the KF. Again this is just my personal, subjective experience.

Maybe it's that my SS wick rolling skills are not up to par, or my coils aren't sitting in a sweet resistance range for my palette, or maybe it's that I feel that the air chamber in all of my gennys changes the flavor profile enough that i don't perceive them as good as the KF.

For the above reasons, and a whole host more, I will continue to experiment and try to find better atomizers. Hence my current SnP+Diver order. The same impetus drives me to jump on the Spheroid when the next batch is released. I'll probably jump on the Atomixani auto-feeding dripper when it is released as well. I have the Squape on notify, and I'd love to try out a Steam Turbine or any of the other super-high-end gennys too. My AC9 generally sits sulking - after the KF, i don't have a whole lot of reasons to revisit it.
