Whew! Been waiting in suspense over here. Now time for bed. Glad you're good to go.
After some trial and error I went a little lighter on the fluff than some folk. I'm doing 13 mm x 50 mm. After I fill it I stick a thin micro screwdriver down in the fluff and sorta make sure the fluff is evenly distributed and wrapped around the chimney uniformly. I check it one more time at the second fill but after that it seems to maintain continuity.
Getting the wick correct took some learning too. I cut it evenly with the nipple of the cap and I have it slightly fatter at the hole and reduce to the coil. This is true whether I'm using Japanese cotton pads or rayon. I've since switched to rayon exclusively and it's amazing.
Finally I have the wick hole of the cap always opposite the air intake hold on the afc. Then if the air hole is facing up during a vape the wick is always at the bottom catching juice as it runs downhill. If I feel the wick is too saturated, I just flip it for a couple of toots. But no dry hits here and no flooding.
I've gone as low as 0.4 ohms and as high as 1.3 ohms.
I haven't been using it but a month. I'm sure others can give better help.
I just know I haven't put it down. It takes everything I throw at it and makes it shine. I got three now and more soon I hope.
I had the same issue until I went "ah ha".
Take the hybrid parts out completely and store them.
Then disassemble the 510 adapter parts and install them one piece at a time into the base of the Heron.
I was trying to put it on as one unit and it kept getting stuck. The center screw pin would catch like a vise and act like a lock nut to where I couldn't move the outside threads. I had to get my two pairs of no-scratch channel locks to remove it. (Boy I'm glad I have a set of no-scratch).
Probably an easier way but that's how I do it.
You guys make me wish I never sold my Heron to VapinBill lol.
Glad he's enjoying it, though.
I just never could get it -right-. I'll end up getting another one eventually, but selling it to him funded me getting a second mech mod which I really needed since I only had one in my arsenal. Now its time to get more atties....and a Lux X, of course....and a second job to fund this.

I actually use about the same amount of fluff in my Herons that I do in my Spheroids. It's about 17 mm x 50-55mm. (.7" x 2-2.1"). Of course this will vary slightly with juice. But this setup has worked pretty much spot on for me.
If you go slightly larger and it doesn't release the juice, it's easy to push the top out and lift the tank. Trim the fluff some and reassemble without leaking all over. Then use a tool to go against the direction to spread it out.

We're actually going to look at a house today
We finally got our credit score up to where we can get a loan. Raised it over a 100pts in just 3 months!
A garden is one of my top projects when we own our own place. As of right now, we rent, and our landlords will not allow us to have a garden.
We're trying to get out of where we're at now. Its an apartment complex, and they're raising the rent this October by $115, then next June raising it again $175 on top of the $115 in October. That puts our rent way over what people pay (in our area) to own quite nice houses. So, we began trying to get credit. It wasn't that ours was -bad-...just that we didn't have -any-. So now we're a bit over what is required for a home loan, and are house shopping to get out of here. It will be nice to not have people on the other sides of your walls, and no longer feeling peoples' eyes on you when you are playing in your own yard or walking to your car. Some quiet and privacy is well overdue.
We're hoping all goes well with the house we're looking at today. Its in a nice, quiet, neighborhood. Has a decent sized yard, and plenty of room for our family. Just hoping we can get the price right, and the payments in our budget-range, then we're good to go!
Buying your first home is nerve-wracking lol.

You're very welcome! The Heron is a 22 mm Spheroid therefore it is designed to be used with a filler material, the fluffless builds are experimentals and suggested by users and reviewers not us. If we wanted to be used as such, we would have putted threading in the body, a different designed topper and base and we would announcing our intentions a priori. GP Heron is not a Tank atomiser but a bigger Spheroid, so when its body is filled with liquid instead of filler with liquid, the internal air pressure is changed and combined with the air slot it produces an intense whistling sound. Try a build with the intended fluff and tell me whether the whistling sound is still in annoying levels or if you have any dry hits. You can't vanish the sound completely when you have the slot wide open and the debate between tight and airy draw is old between Europe and USA. Many people in Europe complained about the v1.5 for being too airy, while others in the States wanted more air
Ok. So i rebuilt my heron last night using fluff. (Hopefully i did it right lol). No difference in the whistle or overall cape experience. Granted i haven't finished the tank, so no clue how this will do once it gets lower on juice. I will put it to the chain vape test and see what it does. But so far, no discernible difference between fluff and no fluff.
Oh yes. It can be. But the satisfaction is great. And that's quite a jump in rent.
new landlords?
Thats great, Path! Grats! It took my wife and i a year to find our house. The market back then was at its peak and bidding wars abound, etc. But once we got our home the stress was over and it has been pretty great. My advice. Take your time, find something close to important amenities (like grocery stores) but not right on top of them. Find the right house for you... Don't let the agent sell you on settling for something else. Look at the bones of the house, the layout, not the paint and fixtures, and carpets... Those are easily changeable. If you're handy, keep in mind that you can change a lot of little things yourself so look at the houses with that kind of vision. Sometimes you can get a great place for a steal if you're willing to fix it up a bit. Just avoid bad plumbing and wiring. Those are nightmares. I will repeat that... Avoid bad plumbing and wiring!!! No matter what that agent says... Also look closely at the foundation around the home and the grading... See if there is water damage or a runoff area next to the house. This can cause frequent over settling which will cause havoc with door frames and cabinets... As well as water under the flooring, which leads to mold and rot that you wont notice for a long time and will cost a fortune to fix.
Before you buy, get a reputable inspector to thoroughly inspect.
Happy hunting and best of luck.
Buying your first home is stressful, but well worth the trouble as you will soon find out. There is nothing like the satisfaction of being a homeowner and taking pride in your house. You'll be able to plant that garden you want and any other personal touches that a landlord won't allow. Good luck on the house hunt.
Yes, it is! Luckily I had a good mortgage broker who told me to "sit back, relax, and he'll take care of it".....But even still, it was a very involved process. He ended up getting me an FHA Loan with a fairly low rate, so it worked out pretty well....
Just make sure you set aside an emergency fund for any unexpected repairs that you might have to do. Within the first few months of owning my house, the basement flooded and I had to replace my Sump Pump which failed, so that cost me a good chunk of change.....You no longer have a landlord to call if something goes wrong (you are the landlord!!
), so the more prepared you can be the better....

Yeeeeep. Kind of.
Its "government housing", which most people like to call the "projects" in most cities. The difference in my city is that its not income-based. Its flat rent. And its not trashy at all. Very clean, nice apartments with nice neighbors. I live in a small farm-town. But at the end of the day, its still owned by the city/government...and the only apartments in town. The government released at the beginning of the year that the owners of government housing were allowed to increase rent by up to 35% per year until they reach the "standard" rate of rental property in your respective state. So, alas, the people who took over our division decided to jump on this bandwagon.
My uncle has been a contractor and built homes for 40 years. He will be paying a visit to any homes that we like lol. Plus my father did the same kind of work for him and is very handy himself. So, being around them growing up, I have learned quite a lot in these things, so most, if not all, repair work will be done by me or other family if its beyond me.

We put back a large chunk from taxes this year for this exact thing lol. If any disasters are going to happen...it'll happen to me ;P
I always prepare for the worst.
