hmm. i was watching imeo's vid about it and he said it didn't need vaseline there... but i willhave to give 'er a greasing... thanks Para...
Have you put vasoline on the o-rings?

I had the same problem and thought I'd never get both o-rings in...but greased them and did the push and twist until it slipped into place

still not working... i tried it with vaseline... i am thinking i got the wrong o-rings...

here i am looking at this iatty and stuck...have to put it up and check with imeo or something.

did your iatty come with the ceramic in a separate bag with the rings on it?

is it the rings that secures it in the hole?

I got this from Mitrich brand new... unused even once.

I will probably need to get some more resistance and nonresistance wire too... anyone please direct me to these items?

edit: oh i see COV has parts...very nice... and a note about sending the wrong o-rings.... i wonder ....

bummer anyway. i'll pm Mitrich

I had the same issue and resorted to lube ;)

:D
Thread title has classic Bishop to the Actress air to it.

After struggling the first time, I rolled my rubber onto the nub of a biro, then slipped that off onto the ceramic.

*Edit. Ah I was overcome by greased things slipping in holes and missed the point entirely. Please excuse my immature way.
Hope you get it sorted soon.

yep... this could have taken a tragic turn... much worse than just playful inuendo's... it IS a COV iatty... and Big Buyer Bruce is fixing me up as we speak....

there was a mixup and it has been remedied... can you imagine if i did use a massive tool of some kind?(i'm done; sorry)
Might try PMing Bruce and let him know the situation also.

wow big difference in size upon close look with the new COV replacement o rings... thanks COV and Mitrich!

wow, getting a head rush... i mixed 18mg and 24mg juice in the tank.

4.2v with a 2.8 Ohm coil... on my Provari

A little airier than i'm used to... enjoying it nonetheless.

- can anyone refer me to the proper o ring for the bottom, and where does it go for the Provari?
