So I won't have a chance to try and set mine up until tomorrow, but can someone provide me links for extra fluff and the same size silica that it comes with?
And my juice is 80/20...80 being pg. Is this going to be a problem?

I bought mine here:

Sera Filter Wool

Just a word of advice, get the 3.5 oz size. I could give someone half of the 1 lb bag and still have enough for the lifetime of the atomizer :)

This is one revision of the prototype units and changes have been made already to vent holes, finish etc but the overall shape remains the same.
The button has the known characteristic of all of our mods: soft push and small travel. There is no separate locking ring, it is embodied to the button, less parts equals with less wear of the switch under heavy use. We are testing now the unit's ability to stand upfront and unlocked without firing.

I didn't show yet the air control.

Wow! I have so many questions... Like what are the sections on the top and bottom. But I will be patient :) That button looks awesome.

Hi! My daughter just took the new torch I bought with the butane over to her friends Dad's house. He is going to load it up and show her how to do it for me. I'm getting ready to try and set up my spheriod. I have two questions:
1. there is a brass pin/screw that came with my package. Am I supposed to put that somehere on the piccilo?
2. I saw a video of a guy putting together his spearoid on the beach. In fact that was what inspeired me to try this. I'm like..OMG! If he can just put that together sitting on the beach then I should be able to do this!! Anyone know where the heck I saw that video?

Okay, I'm off to give this a go.

Are you referring to this screw?

It belongs on the underside of the top cap.

Unscrew it until the battery does not rattle in the tube.

I've taken the Juwell filter to test a new liquid, your fluff material is reserved for my all day vape :)
It's not leaking from the base side, but from the threads on the top side. Maybe a bigger o-ring should help. I will experiment with it :)
BTW to open the base, I need to put it in a cup with hot water? Whoever screwed it on must have been a beast :) I can't open it and I know that I have to turn it clockwise.

Okay. Yes that's the screw Amirite. I see it now. I wonder why it just didn't come with that screw since I just got it?

I failed trying the first time. I think part of the problem is the part (what is that? I need to learn my terms and parts here) I put the silica and wire on is tiny and I can't get the nuts screwed down on the wire tight. Also, my coil wrap was way too loose. Gosh, I think another part of my problem is my long fingernails. Golly Gee wiz! I don't want to have to cut them just to work with this. Geesh!! I also think maybe I will now try a thicker silica I have here. It might be easier for me to work with and get the wire wrapped tighter for my first go at this. I'm going to watch that video perseas posted one more time and give it another try with the thicker silica. Not giving up yet.

Don't give up! You can do it, I had some difficulties with mine at first too. I actually got sore fingertips from trying to tighten the little nuts. I ended using some needlenose pliers to help me tighten the nuts, then discovered I could use tweezers to do the same thing, it absolutely saved me from sore fingers!

Im back. Okay, I have it setup....I think. The coils are not very pretty but they are in the middle anyway. Haven't tried to juice the wick and fire it yet. .... wait!!!! I put a battery in the picillo for the first time and I can't figure how to make the bottom loose so it will move up and down. :facepalm:I know I know...I'm annoying right now, but I promise I'll stop when I know what I'm doing. I'm on process overload and can't remember where I read or watched information about this. I hate learning something new and slow to learn at that. But I know it will be worth it when I do for this one. I'm thinking I should put the sphearoid on my provari and check the ohms first before I wet the wick and fill the base....yes? And don't I also do a dry burn/pulse to check that all the coils will light up evenly at the same time? Oh lordy...so much for getting any housework done today/night.:blink:

Hi Zooker- maybe tweezers for next try. I know what those are!!;) I used my knuckles this last try to tighten the nuts. I THINK it worked. But now I'm tired and maybe need to wait for another day to continue. I only have Sunday off so was hoping to experience my first "nirvana" hit today. No problemo, I can wait.
