Katana by POC ~ Show and Tell :)

[Kami]

Lorderos - that is what I have in regards to the air inlet hole ..... I thought you meant the fill hole should be at 6 o'clock, in front of air inlet.

Ok, mine is right!! LOL

I did the oring mod and it seems no different to me.....but then I did not require enlarging the air hole either.... plenty of vapor and flavour.... and my lungs are not as large as Ricks

I sure wish the postal service was faster to Canada king....
but if you have an ODY then you'll be fine until she arrives

Now I am going to try the Z*****s ...... I know I'm swearing....however Blu and I are experimenting....but it's Blu's fault.....I was really proper till I met her

I know exactly what you mean. Its super hard to do but my reasoning is that i could always get another ody, but i cant get another katana at normal cost. I do have another ody but it hasn't been used either, lol. also the P&P will be out soon and those will have mini ody on them.

That's why I have UFSs - -I hated my Odys and have no interest in the P&P...........

So I take it we'll be using the same process to disassemble our Katanas to install the new tanks that are coming in the co-op? Can you please post a video tutorial or at least some pics so I don't mangle mine? And what should I do differently b/c I have a v1?

That would be nice, cleaning had not occurred to me up to this point...........

Yes, it is almost exactly the same process to replace the tanks

I will definitely be doing a video tutorial for all of the mods in the co-op as well. I don't have a Mini or Maxi, but I have the original Genisis by POC (an oldie but goodie for sure) and it is almost exactly the same as the Mini and Maxi so I will use it for the video for those.

Also, for the V1 Katana, the process is exactly the same

Took of the top and align the wick hole with the air hole. Had a hard time putting back. And after putting back realise the tank is slanted and tank cover cannot be put back.

Will have to finish my juice and take out everything again.

That is why I put in there to lube the orings It goes back more easily if the o-rings are good and wet. The o-rings that I am sending with replacement tanks on the co-op are made of a better material and they go on MUCH easier than the original ones

 

[lorderos33]

Flip nylon? Huh? I want to align my air hole and not use an o-ring lol...

There is no need to flip the nylon or to remove it for any reason. The only thing that would accomplish is to move the fill hole to the left instead of the right. Sorry about any confusion.

I'm with Rip about the Ody. I couldn't stand it. I do have some more goodies on the way... mainly a couple RTA's to use out in public since I will not bring the katana out of the house lol

I use a non scratch scrub pad if it is really caked, but usually I just hit it with a steam wand

I saw our payment earlier and marked you as paid in the co-op Thank you very much for that.

I think my wick/coil just broke in... getting much more vapor than I ever have.

Yup, lol, sometimes it just takes a little time

I'd make my own video but it's nothing like the others posted here. PG juice still fails, lol...

Lorderos, may i ask what is the size of the o-ring that you're sending with the tube

 

[lorderos33]

Lorderos, may i ask what is the size of the o-ring that you're sending with the tube

You certainly may, I am sending BUNA-90 16mm OD x 11mm ID x 2.5mm thick o-rings. This is the correct size for the Katana as verified by POC, but is a much more durable o-ring than was originally sent. These are what I always change mine out to for ease of assembly and I figured I'd send the better o-rings to everyone to make life easier and to ensure trouble-free use for everyone that is getting tanks from the co-op.

We need a glass supplier for glass tanks for our lovely katanas like UKV has going on.
Just a nice thought

 

[Arctherus]

Oh. Failed to introduce myself. I'm new to the Katana Family. V3 coming my way

 

[Kami]

We may have a pyrex supplier... I ordered a couple to see if they fit.....will let you know when I know
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

 

[rwechsler]

Awesome! Pyrex tanks will be sweet! And with some acid etching solvent and a Mylar stencil, you could probably put your own "engravings" on the tank!

 

[loft]

Hmmm I'd probably put in a pretty penny for one that had the original Katana logo on it, since mine is wearing off of the battery tubes...

Well if I can get the pyrex, I know that I can do the acid etching. Got plenty of experience working with mylar stencils (work a lot with relief printmaking, etching, and silk-screening), so I'm sure I can scan my katana's tube to pull an image of the actual engraving and just go from there.
