I ordered two immortalizer clones from fasttech that got held up in the origin PO and ordered a 3rd one to see if it'd come faster. I got all 3 of them a couple days ago and all 3 work great. No stripped screws in them but I know that is an issue. I drilled two extra 1/16 air holes in the outer sleeve and I'm using 8 wraps around 1/16 drill bit micro coil with organic cotton and I love it. You can flood the crap out of it and it'll gurgle but still work. I am going to go to the hardware store today and see about getting some orings for the inner sleeve so that it should gurgle less when I don't over drip.

what about gurgling, I can't see why the juice would not get into the air flow hole, am I missing something important here?
I have the real Immo. so i know the clone won't be the same.If you have more juice than wick inside the center tube it will get into the holes of the ceramic insulator and cause gurgling.You need more wick to soak it up and it will stop.
You'd have to over drip quite a bit to get enough juice down the air hole to cause gurgling. You shouldn't have a problem with it. I run one end of my wick out the center hole of the top and then coil it back down to the sides of the top. Holds about 15 drops on initial fill and vapes out 7 or 8 drops easy enough. I don't like a lot of wick holding a lot of juice as that defeats the purpose of a dripper imo.
I'm really liking mine so far. I got it to test my diy mixes but I'm using it far more than I thought I would. It vapes just as good as my 804's.
I just got mine today! the flavor is amazing!!! really really amazing I don't think this is a leaker but I'll do my best to see it's limits, the only drawback for now is that it has a really tight pull, like sucking trough a syringe needle,
should I drill a 1/16 hole over just one the sleeve's stock hole or drill both??

You will have a hard time "making "it leak. Did you put an o-ring near the bottom o-ring or did it come with one?
just came with one, the same as everybody here.
this is exactly what I was looking for a dripper that doesn't leak!!! but if I drill the holes 1/16 will it leak? I don't know if I'm ready to trade my airy draw preference for a rda that doesn't leak
I have four holes on the side of the sleeve, the two originals are bigger plus the two I added are bigger. That still was too tight so I bored out the three in the bottom some. I think I posted about it a few pages back.
I drilled above the 2 stock holes and sealed the 2 stock holes, 2 X 1/16th holes, and even this doesn't really make it airy at all, nothing like you'd expect a regular cap with 2 1/16th holes to breath like,that's for sure, it's still a somewhat tight draw but nothing like it was originally... the 3 lower holes are the limitation to flow, if you drilled a bunch of holes in the outer ring or took the outer ring off completely it will still be limited by the 3 lower holes... they may be possible to open up too bu I haven't felt the need to do that yet...
mine is not the clone, it's an original but the clone should act the same as this really...
I also modded it to be bottom feed, works well

I took the sleeve out and gave it a try... that's the perfect airflow for me! just like a single 1/16 on a normal rda, based on turbocad's tip I'm going to drill one 1/16 hole above one of the stock ones to help prevent a little more leaking but I'm leaving the stock ones like that...
correct me if I'm wrong here...
I'm not measuring here but lets say that the air channels on the base are the most airflow I can get, If by adding 1/16 airhole I open up more airflow area that those 3 have it won't matter if I drill 2 or 3 more holes it won't change once I get past the channel flow area right??

Probably not much difference but a little perhaps
The walls are really close together allowing juice to cling to both when it get in there.
it won't matter even if you drill 20 holes or even cut huge slots, it still will only flow as much as the 3 lower deck passages allow... if you like the pull it has without the outer ring off then just drill 2 X 1/16th holes and you'll have that. I sealed the lower original holes for leakage issues while squonking, wouldn't expect any leakage issues just dripping though, why, it leaks just dripping?
My thoughts were it would flow slightly less with the sleeve on even with the larger hole(s) in it.
I haven't analyzed it that hard but to me it seems to pull almost as well with the 2 new holes as it does with no outer ring... I think I also read somewhere that someone opened up more holes and then opened up the 3 deck holes and saw much more flow with the deck holes opened so that makes me think the wall clearance is not the limiting factor here
It hasn't leaked but I have just used it for 2 hours but given my past experiences with drippers I do not want this to leak
this shouldn't leak, whatever little fluid that may make it in there winds up getting sucked back in when you draw, mine doesn't leak even bottom feeding it
I could be wrong but I think the two holes in the plastic beneath the coil is the final factor in air flow. I always used mine without the sleeve, and if I covered one of the three air holes in the base, I couldn't tell much difference in the draw.
At any rate, I've got a ticket open to return mine. The hole for the negative screw is stripped. It must of been catching a couple of threads because it worked for a while.

Mine has a small piece of ribbon wire shoved into the negative post hole, I probably should have returned it.
