Yeah, eventually, my SuperT will be liquidated once the new Piccolo and imeo's Proteus report for duty.

Just waiting on the Sophia and TaifunGT; both have shipped.:thumbs:

In other news, thinking of dropping, letting go, of one of my mods. Those who know me, know by my sig which one it will be too :sneaky:

try shaving down the o-ring so it is not as thick, a thin layer should be enough to stop any leaking without forcing the screw to protrude.

Also, you may have a defective KFL, if the hole is not cut properly, any screw won't seal it.

I'm fairly certain that it's not juice weeping from the airholes. I've had that problem when I was learning to build it and I'm not getting any of the obvious indications that it's leaking there (that sort-of gurgle on the first hit, a pool of juice sitting under where the mod has been standing).

Reason I'm thinking fill screw is that I bought some tiny o-rings a while back and the leaking seemed to stop. I kinda don't want to keep using them though because they cause the fill screw to portrude enough to scratch the hell out of the top cap of whatever mod it's sitting on. My 2.5SS bears the scars of that attempt at a fix...

I was thinking ptfe tape but I looked at the msds on it and I'm questioning how safe it is when exposed to eliquid...

I've tried swapping the fill screws around as well--no go. I've kinda given up on looking for a solution to the leaking at this point. They vape great, and I love them. They're just a little leaky :/

GP Series - R&D adventures - sneak preview

titanium_grade_2_vignette.jpg


The last days we keep breaking various routing cutters, knife blades and drills of extreme hardness, trying to tame a 25 mm titanium rod grade 2. Finally, we found the cutting speed, it is 4 times slower than the one needed for the 316 SS rods of GP PAPS X, a very time consuming process. If we ever achieve to make a mod from these rods, it will be a quite limited edition for sure!

Just a sneak preview from our R&D adventures.

Here is the first experimental SnP Ti tube engraved and polished. We achieved today to engrave it successfully!

This one's so sexy ~ it's gone into my veins ~ I'm goin' crazy!

Just can't stop clickin'/rockin' it. And then Perseas shows us its Ti version! Oh, I might need some Ritalin now:)
Ritalin is for rookies my equally as cold bro.

Golfbum - I think Idaho will be short lived for us. Leaving a cabin home in Idaho City for visits and moving west. The Ocean never stops speaking to me. We will pick you up on the way :). We found a storage unit and then will be heading overseas for a bit and see what happens :)
