I still think there's a chance they might get (or have gotten in the past) grommets of slightly different sizes from their supplier(s)... a slightly tighter one would still fit the AGA likely (since silicone stretches), but "the exact right one for the AGA" might be too large for the Protank. So if people happened to buy some of the potentially 'smaller' stock... they might leave a positive review.
But if this hypothesis is true, it IS odd no one ever bought the "larger" one and posted to say it DIDN'T work.
If I understand you Mac and you DID buy these exact grommets, I'd humbly suggest leaving a review there saying they did not work in your experience.
And we all learn the hard way now or then... every single one of us. I know that path well myself.
Isn't it? But understand that the vendor/s in fairness to them don't offer the AGA insulators as an alternative for anything other than the AGA series. It is that repeated
assumption that if something is repeated enough times, well then it must be true that prompted me to post. And your logical question, why has no one challenged the assumption if it's wrong. A good question.
So I pulled out my calabash and went sleuthing through my records to find I'd purchased them from three different sources and found all three supplies to be identical. As they should be, they're for a specific
type of atomizer. I would have been surprised if they weren't.
I originally tested these in the first few weeks I was vaping Vivi's. I started rebuilding almost immediately and naturally, burny grommets, for the abundance of reasons that they may happen. The AGA style grommets actually fit in the base of the Vivi assembly. But if you noticed the wall thickness, that compresses inward virtually collapsing the entry and restricting airflow on a Vivi. It doesn't fit effectively at all in a KPT. It can be made to happen, trust me. Zero airflow. I haven't mic'd the assembly housing wall diameter. I didn't have to. My third purchase came when I forgot they hadn't worked in the Vivi Nova's and was impressed by the repetition of that statement
,"oh, they have replacements at."
So I'm afraid the quest for the
Holy Grail of grommets continues Trayce.
Anyway, I hate to see people waste money, energy, time and grief.
You probably have derived my mantra by now
KISS. Complexity may come when one can stand on their own two feet. And I hope to help make that happen for some. I should have been that lucky. Actually I am. I came here and I'm paying' attention in class now.
Just sayin'.
