Ok on any topper be it atty carto or clearo there is a bottom hole that sometimes leaks juice. I don't know why it's there. On different devices there are side air holes so I don't think it's there for air flow.

I do believe it is an additional air flow hole - similar to the grooves on the bottom of the Protank, even though it too has side air holes. I don't know why they leak, yet we know they do. I make it a point to screw off any device periodically and wipe the battery connection with a Q-tip. If it is leaking too much, slide a piece of paper towel up the bottom hole. Here it is demonstrated on a carto, but it works with everything (I learned the trick with a CE4):

If it is still a bother, you can leave to towel in place and draw slowly through the mouth piece, off of the battery of course. Gently take a draw with the towel blocking the air flow, feeling the resistance. It will force the liquid to blot into the towel.

Your Highness:

I wholeheartedly support your continued insistence on this typo remaining the formal title of said Duchess.

This humble Lord fails to see how photobucket will help. Can you help this Lord see the light of your wisdom?

I agree. My luck in the standard forums is not good of late. I could aptly be called a "thread killer". Not that it will keep me from prowling them and roaring when I feel the need.

Forgive me your Lordship, but what is the size of the image you uploaded to the forum? It is a jpg is it not?

Thanks ocelot. I thought there was a retractable pin that slide out of that hole.

There are a few eGo threaded devices, but not many I am aware of, that have a little spring (you can't see it) inside the device that pushes up a bit when you attached the battery. I had some Stardust clones like that and they were lovely.

Most of what I have learned has been by scientific investigation. The next time one of your devices dies beyond repair, take a pair of pliers (and/or a hammer) to it and see what's inside. It's fun!

Congrats ocelot on adding a blue protank to your court. Btw where could one recruit a blue protank to come to my ragtag band of misguided fellows.

Vapor Joe mentioned Discount Vapers last night, but they were sold out. I found them at Vapingme. They cost a bit more, but there is a 25% coupon "REDDIT."

I will be happy to if you PM me your email.

Having said that, it is not a simple re-sizing issue. While I am not an expert, I have some knowledge of the graphic arts. I use Inkscape for the little creations I have, and I know how to change image sizes. But when I do, they do not translate into ECF frequently. I was hoping you could teach me to do it myself, Highness.

i *think* the issue (which i am totally butting in) is that when you upload to ECF it resizes it to what they consider a manageable size (which is a lot of times too small for us mere mortals)...if you upload to photobucket or imgur or something similar than you have more control over the size...i could be completely and totally off base as to what "needs to be fixed" :)

I welcome your help unlooked for, Ms. Hottie. Thank you for butting in!
