If you need help with your new Lux*, I'm here for you.

* or two: one for you, and one for you after the one for you is seized via matrimonial authoritah

And here I thought I wasn't understood :lol:

I never have to worry about my wife stealing my "brass". She can't stand the smell when the patina starts.

Umm. That didn't sound right. :facepalm:

Well folks, after a long (and I mean loooong) day of frustration with my SnP (second one) and the Diver v2 and the inherent o-ring shredding issue I've encountered.... I'm not sure which is to blame, the Diver, the SnP or myself! I've lost about 15ml of some Five Pawns quality juice from this fiasco already.

King P rushed me out another SnP and while it allows the Diver to slip in much easier than the first one, it still shredded the botton cap inner o-rings once the base of the Diver passed through them (the juice slots). I'm reading that others are not experiencing this problem. So, does anyone have any further advice on troubleshooting to get to the bottom of this issue? I'm extremely frustrated right now as I know I'm not a just a noob vaper who scored some phat new vape gear; who is having repeated trouble getting my Lux, SnP & Diver v2 working as it should.

I do; however, feel that the edges on the Diver's juice slots feel rather sharp and could use some chamfering, but does anyone have any insight with their experiences that may help me figure this all out?

Love you guys, by the way! :)

Do you happen to have another diver to compare those edges to? I would guess just from what your listing that if it's working for most, maybe the finish on that one diver is "off".
They are def on the sharper/thinner side but I've had luck with the orings other than my first attempt.

Sorry Nacho about the woes. I also went through this. This may be oo help but...
Like you I changed my orings for the snp to the orange. I lubed the hell out of the rings and carto tool and pushed it through alone. Left it in for a day or two. I then lubed the hell out of the diver and used said tool and bam!
After some in n outs it slides in like butter now. I(she) now use a combo of the different orings supplied for the SnP.
Make sure your top fill cap is securely screwed for good seal as I have seen them perform with a small ahead of oring - not torn in half but a sliver shred off. Vacuum wasn't compromised.
My awesomest wife uses both divers/snp daily all day. Although, Yesterday she thought after she watched me change the Taifun cotton wick she needed that atty also. I have not seen it since and looked for it while she slept.
Anyhow, I am not sure leaving the carto tool in worked but I haven't changed orings in either in a month.

I had the issue with the SnP and the Sophia. Agree completely with what Idaho said. Once I FINALLY got just the carto tool in with lots of lube, I made sure that I could turn the carto tool. It seemed to "seat" the orings in the grooves more completely, and I've not had the problem since. I certainly feel your pain, I was there.
