Nice AJ!
The easiest way is to build the coil and wick higher over the center airhole on the base.
Make sure and occasionally run water over the holes and blow to remove juice that may of crept in.

Thanks for the tip, I am prepping for a 5 day trip on the WA/OR trifecta route (Seattle-Portland-Spokane-Seattle), so I can't fuss too much with it tonight, but I do plan on blowing out the air path through the base with some compressed air tomorrow. Can the base be removed with a coil installed? I have a feeling there may be more tiny metal shavings in the air path somewhere, but I don't want to dismount the wick/coil.

Here is where I'm at as far as height above the air hole. Seems to be plenty of space from my perspective...

Evening fine folks. Quick question regarding the spheroid. I am getting on quite well with this little gem, except I desire a bit more airflow. I inspected the air inlets on the 510 post, and did find a small metal burr that I was able to remove with a few pokes of a paper clip. That helped a bit, but is there a way to increase the airflow, even if just a bit?

Here's a picture for your ogling pleasure

is that a 16340?

You can open the bottom 510 cap without that affecting the installed coil. Generally, we recommend the unit's interior base to be cleaned prior its use, although it has passed an ultrasonic bath. Check the air hole between the posts, it has ID 1,2-1,3 mm, lesser than that creates a tight draw.

The coil of the photo has a hot leg at the bottom left side and that will alter the taste, you have to tighten the coil more by putting it diagonally.

Spheroid in the workplace today. Very impressed with this little atty. Once I got the quirks worked out, operator error, it performs like a dream!

Thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated

Quick Q..

I have a tiny scratch on my Brushed Paps 2.5 and my OCD is saying I want it gone!

It's not noticeable unless it's held at the right angle and in the right lighting but I saw it and now my eyes can't unsee it even though it's micro and a normal person would never even see it.

Does the brushed surface on the Paps create any special polishing requirement? I was going to use some regular ole' SS non abrasive metal polish on it but figured I had better check before I start rubbing away!

Thanks!

I thought about running cotton, but I was worried the cotton tails wouldn't hold their position against the wall.

I'm running a micro coil w/cotton in my spheroid and it works perfectly.. The flavor is Amazing.

Spheroid arrived today! All setup and rockin' on the Paps!

Polished with satin accents on both Simplicity 14500 and GP Spheroid. Topped off with a satin drip tip by super t. I wished the shine on the simplicity showed up more in pics. But these will do.

What exactly is a hot leg?

What exactly is a hot leg?

When one, or both, tail-ends of ur coil goes 'red' upon firing, before the wicked section

looks like you got it polished up nice. how did you end up doing the accents?

So the center coil wraps suppose to get 'red' first? Any tips for not getting a hot leg on one or both tail-ends of my coil?

i actually had someone do it for me. it was real cheap so i went and did that instead. thanks for the info on how you did yours tho. definitely gonna try it on my other mods.
