Is there anything "special" I'll have to do before using Stealth?

[silverrocks]

Hi,
I was just reading a post from a new Stealth owner who seemed to have some problems firing it up.
I didn't even "comprehend" the answers given to him in order to fix it. I never had to do anthing in regard to my mods; no vaseline, cleaner etc.
My Stealth should arive tomorrow and I'd love to get some info/basic tips before I use it. Will not use any sort of tank or atty, just SmoleTech xxxxl cartos. Unfortunately COV was put of the AW 18350 batteries, hence I will try the ones out Bruce included since I doubt they'll fit in my Precise. Anyhow, please let me know if there is anything I should pay attention to before using my Stealth. PS: Do I need to clean the Stealth every so often (never cleaned my old Precise, beside the juice well), and if so what needs to be cleaned and how. Thanks so much.
Julia

Lighty vaseline the threads. Note - I also vaseline the threads of my P-18. One would never want threads to become stuck for whatever reason.

You should be good to go right from package when it gets there, Silver.

If not, we will help you as well if you do not get ignition from your cartos when installed on stealth.

No worries.

What batteries did Bruce send to you?

It is not a bad idea to disassemble your new mod and give it a complete soap/water/toothbrush bath. After it's completely dry, apply a very light coat of vaseline to all threads as dspin suggested.

My Stealth didn't come today after all. I know this may sound like a very ridicolous question (maybe it's lost in translation, I'm German after all but what do you guys exactely mean by threads? Thus far I only used the Precise line and even though my old P10 had a brass button, never cleaned it. Now cleaning is obsolete with the plus version, hence I have no clue what I am supposed to do or to which parts (what threads, are those the things screwing together?) I should apply vaseline on. Even though I'm a girl, can't stand "arts and crafts" and tinkering with metal falls under that category. I really don't want to mess the Stealth up, vaping a vaseline tube

Yup, the little teeth you screw down on. You just wanna use a light coat. You don't need to pack it Every PV made needs to be cleaned at the contact points or it will always act like you have weak batteries due to low coductivity.

As you're a german girl: Die Empfehlung war, nach einer Reinigung des Stealth, die Gewinde mit etwas Vaseline (ganz wenig reicht aus) einzulassen. Dadurch vermeidet man,dass die Gewinde irgendwann stecken bleiben und sie bleiben leichtgängig.

Vielen Dank Gredie; macht es sehr viel einfacher !!! Danke nochmals.

Ps: will only the AW 18350 fit perfecrely without any rattling or can I use any 18350? Bruce was out of the AW but told me to put some other ones in with the order. Last but not leastn does the battery go negative down inside the tube or plus down? Sorry for all my questions but I want to be ready to vape my Stealth as soon as it gets out of the box. Danke !!!! Forgot, saw a picture of a stealth where the button was "upside down", meaning the person didn't have the button on top was it was facing the ground; I assume that's just personal preference?

 

[Serpent67]

Battery will go NEG side down in Stealth, Silver.

I only use AW 18350's in mine so cant help you there, but if Bruce tell you other than you will be fine.

The button is at the rear on all stealth. That is factory placement and great ergonomics

 

[Poppa D]

Any 18350 should work. Technically the battery can go either way no problem, but it appears as though it should go negative down.
Good luck, enjoy your Stealth.

I had to cut the spring down to use protected 18350s in my Stealth just a heads up. AW IMR 18350s fit great though.

How much fright? I'm guessing not enough to use the fuse kit still?

You know I don't actually have a fuse kit yet but I have read that using the fuse kit and stealth don't mix well.

Yes that question want very well thought out. The fuse kit is a solid post so no matter how much extra room w/ a shorter battery it still wouldn't really lock up right.

Just ordered some stuff and forgot to add the Nolox(sp). Is Vaseline just as good?

I very thin layer of vaseline is actually suggested and preferred. Noalox is good for aluminum but you are getting SS.

Crap, I just ordered it. Oh well.
