Kick is good. I took the middle of the road solution. No copper tubing...instead I used insulated rc helicopter gyro mounting tape. It's sort of a thick electrical tape with some padding in it that I put on the kick on the side opposite of the spring. Since it compresses it offers a very solid connection.

My firing button is a different issue altogether...kick or no kick. It's ok but I find I have to hit it dead on. The screw inside was basically contacting the sides of the switch and wasn't very smooth. I took a dremel to the tops threads below the screw head(since I have extras) and that's helped a lot but now the switch is a little more wobbly then I'd like. Maybe the screw needs to be sleeved with something below the head to make it less wobbly. Not sure.

Anyone have a better solution?

Wrapped a thin strip of slug tape round the bottom section of the button to take up the slack. Stopped my wibble and button is smooth as butter. Been working great for the past couple of months

sometimes straight pb is the way to be. :) I have run a wick and coil setup for 5 weeks before I had to change it because I was unsure about dry fire under water to clean the coil... however I katana all day everyday at 18 and I think I might try to run a tank with 16 or 12mg but i kinda like the kick it has.

Virginia is for vapers
Just want to thank everyone here for their tips and suggestions. My Katana v3 is vaping like a beast and I am perfectly happy with it - it is my all day vaper. This thing has really turned me on to genis and I have two RBAs about to be shipped to me from S&S Mods, so my Provaris will be genified too. Thank you all!

Hi everyone! I have been working on a spreadsheet of links that I originally started compiling to help me locate important posts that I may want to refer to later. In the process, I began talking with Lorderos33. Long story short, since I was combing through some of the threads for information, and Lorderos was needing to pull his "How-To's" and "Tips & Tricks" into some kind of organized location...well, I just put it all on one convenient spreadsheet!

The site is still "Under Construction" (so to speak). There are, no doubt, important posts that I haven't included yet or am not aware of. And, there are also posts that will eventually be deleted. Lorderos will be reviewing the sheet periodically to make comments, corrections and clarifications. But, for now, I asked him if I could allow you folks to view it and offer any feedback or suggestions you may have.

Please don't let it intimidate you. When you go to the site below.....you will see a button to the top right corner that says "1 other viewer" (or 2, 3, etc). If you click on that...a chat column will appear to right. You can chat with each other or with me. And if you want, I will even meet you there for a quick "tutorial". If you sign in with a Google (gmail) or Facebook account, your actual account name should show up, otherwise, you will be "anonymous".

I would be grateful for any suggestions, ideas or feedback. These posts are 99% from our good friend, Lorderos33. All I've done is put them into groups and make them accessible (we thank you Lorderos )

Let me know what you think folks! Here's the Link:

    OK, I have had my Katana v3 for almost a month now, and I have just had my first tank crack. Not sure how long the tank was in use before I bought it, and I have a felling that the main cause was the Lemon Lime Cooler juice that I like to vape. Luckily I have four more tanks that came with my purchase of the Katana (three now, as I just changed the tank). My question is this: Is there a source to buy more tanks from? Glass or pyrex would be awesome, but the polycarbonate ones are just fine if they are readily available... Any info would be much appreciated!

    Could you link that site to me for review rielevilnside? I looked for it but, for some reason, couldn't find it. I'll take a look at it. Thanks so much for your suggestion!

    Uk may be down permanently. supposedly you can go to ukvapers.org? but I have heard from my good friend Jagelpuff that he signed up and still can't get on.

    Maybe add the Katana LE ring co-op on that there list yall are building?? :D
