Normally I would say it is just a 510-510 adapter and i06 with the empiremods dripshield slid down over everything all the way onto the adapter to eliminate any leaking. BUT I'm not sure how you're accomplishing proper airflow. The drip shield has a hole in the side for air intake located towards the drip tip end but without the tube from an atty or a i06 drip tip to get the air directed through the i06 I'm at a loss. There must be an additional piece inside the drip shield which is still curious with the ming tip on the drip shield :confused:

I'm intrigued but doesn't sound like we'll be getting any answers from emonty. Oh well, once I get my hands on one of the dripshields I will figure out a way :) Or maybe a i06 DCA will arrive and it won't be an issue ;)
... a bored out drip shield to IO6 specs with probably larger o rings. Not rocket science ;)

I know you made a promise so it's not for you to tell, but why the secret? Seems counterclockwise.
Ah, well. My variation is working very nicely and as soon as I solve one little problem with it I'll post it all in detail.
... that is the community spirit that once abounded here at ECF :)

Nothing about vaping is Rocket science ! However Atty tanks are not flooding the market by any means the way Carto tanks are, in fact I only really know of one person that really makes Atty tanks. Especially a tank that runs on an i06 would be a nice edition to this Atty in my opinion for whatever that's worth. I would like to see one, not just an i06 in an Empire shield but in a real tank.

The post I made here...
Here is what I've done: I cut off a black delrin io6 driptip just below the tip part where it emerges into a straight tube. Inserted it into the bottom of the shield, flush with the bottom. Inserted a cutoff 510 carto tube into the top of the shield until the two tubes met, drew a line and then cut the carto tube flush with the top of the shield. Plugged the two shield airholes with bits of broken toothpick. Seems to work well. I'll tinker some more.
...describes what I've done. It's inelegant but makes use of materials and tools on hand. Vapes great and I'm finally free of wondering whether my juice actually made it to the atty and looks good too.
The problem it has is that once the io6 driptip is cut it becomes less tight and wiggly, slips right off if you pick up your mod by the apparatus. My next idea involves another inelegant tool: a cigarette lighter.

You and me both. I'd like to see any kind of atty tank that isn't proprietary or costs a ridiculous amount of money.

I've finally got a couple of IKV 510 LR 1.8 atty's on the way. I ordered them from a different retailer, though...same price, but the only ones I could find with that resistence in stock. This will be my second look at a dripping atomizer of any kind. I'm pretty excited. I would still really love to get my hands on one of the IKV Cannons at 1.8 or 1.5, but they are tough to grab. It seems like there is a huge following of the iO6 model, though. Decisions, decisions.

Hey Guys!
I got updates for you!

Ok first things first.
From the whole new movement of servers to hiring an employee. The new system and employee is costly but no where near as I anticipated. The prices that were increased for atomizers is on my mind daily. It seriously crushes me to charge 8.99 for an atomizer, even though I pour my life into making them happen the way they do. I still feel regret on a daily basis because of the price tag. In a sense I feel they're totally worth it. And even still with the new tags, we are still busy and hectic as ever but it's still just..uncomfortable. Every order that has a memo stating things like "Thank you so much for keeping your prices low even though..etc" just completely rejuvenates me and makes us work even harder. It just feels good to be appreciated sometimes. I know you guys still do appreciate everything we do and believe me, it's what keeps this heart beating to know we're doing a good job and just creating happiness in the levels we can. Even with price hikes you guys still stuck by through and through and to date we still never received not one single complaint about it. Thats just love on a whole new level. and for that I Thank you so much. From when we were down for 8 weeks to when arose again. You were still there and kept us very much alive. We soared from triple digits in the business account up to 40 thousand. Orders were all placed on our end to the manufactures and brought us back to 4 digits :laugh: Tmi I know but it's nice to see the other side of machines and to know whats going on behind the curtain sometimes. with everything being said, you guys mean so much to us it cannot be conveyed into context. I even asked you guys what you would like to see at IKV and not one single person said anything about the issue. This is what brings us to end of the road of this portion of the update. I'm ecstatic to announce that we will be lowering our prices again!

io6 DCA is coming very soon to IKV!!! Jawz is just waiting for a few tools to come in and prototypes will be sent to us. I'm not sure how many though, so I'm a little stuck on how to do a proper beta test just yet.

IKV hits across the pond!
We hooked up with ......... from the UK and let me tell you Daz is..well, I'll find some excerpts:
[1/12/2012 12:41:51 AM] ......... Ltd: i have a passion and i have a business that i want to see grow and through determination i will get to where i want to be and meeting you and others like you i can only get better its not a business with me its more a way of life now
[1/12/2012 12:42:05 AM] ......... Ltd: strange as that might sound
We spoke for hours upon hours about everything and anything and I have full belief and faith in him. So we have an official IKV supplier in Europe!!

Project Chameleon and Infinity has become One!
The bodies are now complete and the circuitry is now obtained! All we need now is to mass produce our breadboards and break out the polish! Almost there guys!! This unit is aimed precisely at atomizing heating coils. Think on that for a minute :laugh:

We asked you guys in a thread what you would like to see at IKV
555 IKV branded e-liquid is in the works! and should be here before the Chinese New year goes into effect!

MEGA Fusions are also being produced, but after the new year unfortunately. :( I have seen a few suppliers claiming they have 801 fusions so I went straight to the manufacture about breaching our contracts but they solidly followed up by stating that none of our specifications have been used and that they're completely generic items. I'm a man of hard facts so I ordered a few from supplier X and low and behold, they were telling the truth. I don't mean to bring this up but again, I feel compelled to do so. The supplier X has tried deceiving the manufacture by telling them that I personally sent them! So I feel this paragraph is justice enough.

306 IKV Atoms are Returning!! We finally struck a few keys on the durability issues and shacked up with an Excellent engineer and made magic happen. Production is starting in 3 weeks for reflection of the New year and extensive testing. Vg and Pg liquids alike are going to be included the tests along with 10 employees demoing over this course.

Ego 510 Type B
Epipemods has set us on a task that we were looking for! We're officially working on the Ego Type B atomizer geared for dripping. He graciously sent us a few samples to play with and I'm just ecstatic as our legendary engineer. There is GREAT potential in these and I hope to incorporate a few specific flawless traits into a few of our own line of atomizers while constructing the best Ego type B atom in existence.This type of atty is a dream come to true to work with and I really think it's going to turn allot of heads when we're finished.

That about wraps it up right now. I hope you guys are having a beautiful New year and are just as excited as we are!!!
Sincerely,
Isaac
