Hello Zenfidels, here is that modification that Zen~ mentioned recently. I did this because I personally prefer a stiffer draw and have read that there are others who also prefer this so I wrote up how I tightened the draw on my Zenisis in case anyone else wants to do the same. He went over alot of what this does and the possible risks in his post so I'll just get right to it then :)

You need a dremel with a grinding cutoff wheel, an 18 ga needle, a VERY TINY drop of super glue, a fine pointed prescision file and a standard Zenisis cap.

What you need to do is use the dremel to cut a 1/8" piece off the needle. Use the file to make sure the ends of the piece you just cut are clear and to hold this tiny piece of needle securely.

Test fit the needle piece to the Zenesis cap. It should fit right in the hole with almost no play, but not snug. If it fits as mentioned, you're ready to set it in place.

Take the tiniest drop of superglue and put it on the outside of the needle you just cut off, being careful not to get any on the file.

Put the glue covered needle into the air inlet on the Zenisis cap till it is flush with the outside of the cap and hold it there for 5-10 seconds. The glue should set almost immediately.

Now pull the file back out of the glued together parts and put the cap back on the Zenisis.

Give your Zenisis a test vape. If you did everything right it will now have a tighter yet comfortable draw and should create a nice vaccum in the vapor chamber that will prevent dry and harsh hits.

If you decide to try this, please be careful not to damage the finish on your Zenesis by using too much glue. Remember, less is more in this situation.

Good luck and happy modding.

OB,

First off, I'm sorry to read about the troubles you are having with your "other" device. I hope lorderos33 is able to get you squared away quickly.



Secondly... It wasn't my intention to make you feel like an idiot. For that, I offer you my sincerest apologies.

Honestly, I was just wondering if you knew something I wasn't savvy to. Insider information on the upcoming zombie apocalypse, perhaps? :D


I know you did not. trust me, no one makes me feel like a bigger idiot than I do on a daily basis. I know what you were saying and are probably right for the most part.

I am eager, stubborn and terribly impatient. Three qualities that do not always go well together.

I felt I had to check in to let all of you know I did not off myself :) I will have plenty of time to post in the next days. Just no devices specifically to discuss. I guess it will be a lot of fluff.

I like toys. and yes the zombies are coming for sure. Don't you watch walking dead?

ps. vicsan, four but who is counting :) I will need the other three for backups :)

So far so good. The wobbly switch is slightly annoying since I have to press it straight down or else it wont even move. Also my juice was too thick for the 400 mesh so I tried to put in the 325, even after tightening it up like I was rolling up some sensi it still wouldnt go in. I had to cut a little bit off to make it fit in the hole. 3 wraps burns the juice too quickly, or perhaps its the wick I need to tweak on. Either way I am happy. Now that I have one, it seems too long for the pocket outings (id rather keep a spare 18350 on hand), anyone interested in trading for a mini?

As far as the best PV for the money, id have to agree.

0045 FTW

Zen,

I hope your devices are 100%, completely, totally ..... proof.

Otherwise, you will be getting these back frequently. If I can mess something up, I assure you I will.

I have always said I am not afraid of failure. But if I am going to fail, I want to do it spectacularly. :)

First things first.....

Bummer bummer bummer.... That just blows that you had that problem!

Bummer again....

And one last bummer for good measure.

Now... I have no idea how you will break a zenesis. I have confidence if anybody can, you can... But I seriously doubt it.

Also... You can post the name of any PV you want in here... So many people shy away from that out of respect for the thread... I don't care! And the truth is if people WOULD mention it then when somebody searches for it here they find ME... I like that actually.

And ummmm.... Epoxy? Seriously?

The switch fix is coming... I haven't encountered a wick that doesn't fit and I build em with the same wicks I supply.... And best PV for the money?

Thanks for the compliment! Thats a mighty big statement!

And I'm glad ya got it!

I knew that. :) Now we know with absolute certainty, you WILL BE vaping a Zenesis the day you receive them. You cannot break four of them, or four could not possibly break during shipping...and even if they do break during shipping, you will have polycarb tanks to use.

If I were you, I would pay extra $$ for Overnight Express Shipping. I'm just sayin'... Maybe you could get them shipped to your vacation locale. :) They are shipping out this week, right?

Don't think I did not think about that. At least one :)

I honestly have lost track of the marchers timeline. Partly on purpose.

If I don't know when they are coming, I can't get as antsy. :)
