I am thinking about getting rid of my Quasars, SS & Copper. The flavor is spot on but the well is not deep enough for me.

I love the Quasar, but my only gripe with it is that it leaks slightly....I don't think the O-Rings create a tight enough seal, and given that the O-Rings are on the inside of the cap (and not the deck), it makes it leak juice...Maybe I should replace the O-Rings.....

Replacing the O-Rings may do the trick. I have not had any leaking issues with mine, thank goodness.

Copper Anatolian w/Prometey V2 in Hybrid mode. I've had the Anatolian for 3 days now, and it's already starting to get a nice patina....I probably won't let it get totally dark and will polish it this weekend....

I own one, Bill. It is a nice dripper that gives excellent flavor. You just have to be careful when you drip into it though....If you over-drip even a tiny bit, the juice will come straight out the airholes....this is due to the fact that the top of the airhole is flush with the build deck.....

But other than that they are great...I think you'll like it!

Thanks for the tip. I hear the Magma is large capacity dripper. How many drops can you put in yours?

That's good.....Yeah I will use my Quasar for a few hours, then when I go to unscrew it from the mod, the bottom of the atty is wet with juice....Before I replace them, I am going to pull the O-Rings out of it and reseat them, maybe that'll do the trick....

Another atty that I've been loving for flavor is the APO. When I first got it I wasn't impressed, as it had machine oil and burrs everywhere. Once I got it cleaned up though, it vapes VERY nicely! Great airflow, and the chamber is rather small so the vapor gets very concentrated......

A bunch....I've actually never counted, but the well is VERY deep......It can definitely hold a lot of juice! Maybe 20-30 drops?

For whatever reason I haven't been using mine lately...I'll have to bust it out soon!

JP, Thanks again for the GVC sample. Can't wait to try it.

Anytime Bill! I am excited for you to try it too! I am all about PIFing stuff...part of me wishes I bought more GVC so I could send some more out to those who've never tried it....oh well...next time!!

 

[VapinBill]

I don't own an origin but the performance and flavor from this atty is definitely up there with the best of them. For the price it wouldn't hurt to pick one up to see for yourself. If you don't like it I don't think you'll have a hard time selling it in the classies. Sorry I couldn't fully answer your question but hopefully someone here has both and can give you a good comparison.

I did a little experimenting with my Origin V2
the other day.
I filled the well with GP fluff and placed a U shaped KGD wick over the center post with both ends embedded in the fluff.
I then saturated the fluff inside the bottom chamber and placed the cap on.
I finally saturated the KGD with juice from the drip tip hole at the middle the KGD wick lying on the center post.
The taste and longevity of juice is great.

Nice, yeah I've heard of others using the GP fluff for deep well attys but wasn't sure how well it worked. Good know, thanks.

Very cool! I'll have to give this a whirl someday.... Thanks for the tip!

Anytime guys. Got the Senio yesterday. I am still struggling with build. Got it at 1.3 ohms and the dripper is very hot to the touch after about 7 puffs.

Hey jp, before you replace the o-rings you might want to try this...you can manipulate the size of o rings slightly with heat or cold air. Try using a blow dryer on the hottest setting, directed right at your Quasar with the cap on for at least 2-3 solid minutes (should be too hot to touch with bare hands, but will not damage atty at all). This should make the o-rings expand and seal against the cap.

Once the atty cools back down to room temp, the orings should return to normal size, but the seal will still be maintained. My Gille 360 was leaking badly out of the tank where the tank met the orings - I tried this and it worked like a charm.

And if you ever have o rings that are stuck, you can put whatever it is in the freezer for a few minutes to shrink the orings to get your topcap or whatever off.

Edit: You probably will not be able to take the topcap back off very easily (if at all) while the atty is still hot, but once it cools back down it should be fine.

FYI - The TOBH ATTY at Henley Vape is the new version, not the older version...thanks anyway XxtremeV2

It sucks when vendors don't change their pics or listings to reflect what they actually have in stock (seen it with mods often as well). VapeRev had the new CNC Brass Nemesis listed as having a "laser etched engraving", but had a pic of the CNC Nemesis. :\

what is GP fluff?

 

[icemanistheking]

what is GP fluff?

It's a type of fabric or foam type stuff that goes in the top of the Spheroid or other top-fed attys like that...Juwel Sera aquarium filters also work as the filler material. Anyway, the ejuice saturates the filler material, which then feeds the wicks.

 

[VapinBill]

what is GP fluff?

From VAPOURART site:

Model: GP Fluff v2
GP[emoji768] Fluff version 2

Fluff for the GP[emoji768] Spheroid and GP[emoji768] Heron atomizers.

A5210 x 148 mm8.3 x 5.8 in


Fluff filler material comes in A5 size pads.

Fluff is chemically neutral for eliquids.

Fluff is incredibly resilient, able to be compressed and retain a cylindrical shape inside the body tube of GP[emoji768] Spheroid and GP[emoji768] Heron.

Fluff has extraordinary wicking capabilities delivering consistent fluid flow for many weeks.

Fluff can be highly absorbent, and can retain 2,2 ml- 3,2 ml eliquid in the GP[emoji768] Spheroid.

Fluff is very easily cleaned for reuse and dries quickly.

Cut with scissors a fluff strip with proportions of 45 mm x 20 mm and wrap it around the bell of GP[emoji768] Spheroid. For GP[emoji768] Heron use a 65 mm x 15 mm strip.

Its length and thickness is depending on the viscosity of the eliquid and the VG/PG ratio.

And there is some advantage over regular organic cotton?

Have never had wicking issues with cotton, and you can't argue with the price...

I can see its being superior for top-fed, with wich you have to fight gravity to keep your juice in the filer, but not so much in a dripper. Maybe so it won't leak if you super-saturate it and put it on its side?

Mine leaves a bit of juice on the top cap too after using it all day , but I just sort of let it slide. Not a grave inconvenience really.

 

[SINphul]

Odin beats origin for flavor imo. It's close though.

"Buy the Odin," they said. "It has better flavor," they said. Ugh, my wife is going to kill me...worth it. *Pulls out credit card*

The only advantage I see to using fluff in the Origin V2 is to allow you to hold lots of juice in the well without a risk of leaks. I still use the top dripper just not as often. The KGD wicks nicely from it. Not to argue your point.
