MWA, i have a backup usb eGo (for my backups, so it never gets used). Thanks for the tip on the ring thing; I think I've seen them advertised but havent kept up with all the new eGo things. I know how it is to want to take a pv out of the house, without taking a high end gear just 'cause you have to think twice about handling it...just a short run somewhere.
I usually take my Sgt b/f but it's still a "gear" type of thing and a little eGo would be handy.
So the i06 is the drippers dream (except for the d/t which is minor compared to the atty itself); i got a few i06's and a couple more coming, but have yet to get them up and running lately as there is so much new stuff to try. I usually used the black delrin d/t and just pull it off when i want to redrip.
But I dream of a pyrex d/t for the i06. Pyrex is my go-to d/t. I have half a doz. of 'em.
btw, MWA, what are those ring things for the eGo?
i thought they were some kind of adapter for 510 pv's to take a special eGo 510 atty ?

If you do a google search for 306DCA it will be right there. I don't want to link to another vendors website.
I got the black delrin drip tip for my I06's. I would love to see more drip tips available for the I06.
I am very anxious to get my order in so I can finally try the I06 and experience it for myself

Uke- Their's a couple glass blowers working on getting a tip made for the i06-we'l' see in due time if they are able to get us one or two made.
As for the ring, not sure what MWA's is made from but you can take a cone and cut it down to size and it works great! A couple vendors offer these for sale around 4-6 dollars. I have a few cones I ordered and am going to try and cut them myself-Oh what fun, I hope to keep all my fingers in tact.

mwa - I've got some of the short cone's from my eGo's when using them with tanks, but I've not run across these rings/cylinders. Where did you get them?
thanks
The Ego Cones do not work the same as these SS Ring that I'm using, you could do what HzG8rGrl suggested though by cutting the cones down, the only extra thing to do if you do this is use a small ORing over top of your threads so it seats on the thread base of the Ego type Batt so you screw the cone down onto an O-Ring, this way you wont ever have a leak, without this O-Ring you will if you overfill the i06. As for these Custom SS rings I made them in a friends machine shop, but I have seen similar ones around that another vendor was selling I believe but not sure there the same. These rings I'm using are also part of a special i06 tank that I have made that im in the middle of testing, it is a small 3.5ml tank made especially for the i06,, will post more at a later date on that.
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.As far as this i06 Mod your discussing, I came up with it some months back while Beta testing the i06, what (TAt_skull) is doing is close, but not exactly it, he is missing one very important step in his process, actually 2. You where actually a bit closer on your post back in that other thread when you said you where hoping to use the i06 silhouette drip tip with your Empire shield and this combo/set up runs like an i06 on steroids with no possible way of leaking no matter what

Looks and sounds good Snork man,,, try drilling 2 .5mm or 1mm holes 360% from one another in your i06 drip tip part down around the upper part of the wall of the Atty, and fill that dam thing up so it leaks out of the Atty into the drip shield, you will know when you have enough because you will here it gurgling when you vape.

Uke, the problem I see with that one is it is threaded all the way through, the one I am using is threaded about a 1/3 of the way, then you screw it on till it hits an inside wall ledge, like a positive stop, nothing can possibly drip through it

I have a cut cone or something that Theecigs is selling on the way, along with a new Pyrex 306 d/t 'cause i like 306 and i can't resist new Pyrex d/t's.Uke, the problem I see with that one is it is threaded all the way through, the one I am using is threaded about a 1/3 of the way, then you screw it on till it hits an inside wall ledge, like a positive stop, nothing can possibly drip through it
John says the i06 Pyrex d/t is going to be up in all colors within 10 days or so!!!
The other ego ring is from Vapor Age (thanks to HzG8rGrl for the links)...
I have a ego usb 650 batt that i have never really used until i heard about this from MWA and the i06... I pulled it out and fired an LR i06 on it and gotta say, with the LR i06 metering about 1.7 (Isaac sent me a couple labeled 1.5 Ohm), it was tasting hot and slightly burnt on my Provari at 3.3v !
I put it on the ego and it tastes great.
Got to look for some 2.5 or even 1.8 Ohm for the Vari....
I got them in all different resistances, some are used now and i soaked a couple in hot water last night to get them tasting right again.
Anyone else do a cleaning on theirs?
Lest someone else gets confused by ukeman's reference. It's theEcig dot com wihtout the 's' not Theecigs dot com. Two very different places. Thanks for pointing to those drip tips - nice! I go back again looking for the Io6 versions.
Uke, I dont even bother, my Beta i06 lasted for over 100 days, at $8 or whatever they are I find it best myself to just use em and chuck them once performance drops to a certain point. I know many like to do the cleaning thing and I use to myself, but anymore I just pitch them in the trash, theres nothing like a new Atty and I've just found that once you do a cleaning and soak an Atty in water or anything else it just isn't ever the same. I'm sure there will be people that want to argue this or disagree but geeze man a pack of a smokes is freaking $8 or so and they last what about a 1/2 day or 1 day, I find it a bargain that these i06 Atty's not only perform as well as they do but also last for as long as mine have been lasting, for me it's use em and pitch em
agreed... "there's nothing like a new atty" !
it's like that first smoke from a fresh pack of cigarettes... but a new atty stays fresh at least a few days.
I have at least 50 used attys, but keep almost double that in new stock.
Want a for sure "pick me up"? Just throw on a new atty, your favorite juice, and things are lookin up!

Absolutely Brutha, I must have close to 500 Atty's in my stock and go through them like water
Holy smokes. That's a lot of moolah wrapped up in atty's. I don't even have anywhere's near that in food stock piles.
huh! Just paid attention to your location. I'm 'bout 40 miles NW of center city Philly.
