rocky - the third run just got shipped out, and I believe POC is taking a break, and may or may not make more?
Someone correct me if I am wrong ...... I think he is also contemplating a new mod?

Two things upon unboxing.......
1. I have a nasty scratch all the way across the ring below the tank casing......
2. I wish I has ordered some kanthal!!! 8-o8-o8-o
Thanks so much, rweschler, for all your help, you're an ace!!!

Peace is a great guy, if he has spare parts he will send you one. Please post a pic, I'm curious what it is

I can PM him on one of the other forums, thanks..Peace is a great guy, if he has spare parts he will send you one. Please post a pic, I'm curious what it is
Here it is......
ouch!..... so sorry Rip
Has anyone seen the comments Scott made on another form about wicking problems???? Is this a common problem??? Hear is his comment on his problems wicking ((((( hi all,
had my Katana for almost a month now and have some fixes that worked for me that i would like to share:-
wicking
i too had a lot of wicking problems when i 1st got my Katana and it got so frustrating that i almost threw the thing out of the window several times, lol. what made it so frustrating is that i have 5 Genesis style atomisers which wick perfectly and have never given me a dry hit.......i oxidised my wick in exactly the same way as i always do but the Katana was having none of it! i even took wicks that were working perfectly in my other Genesis atties and put them in the Katana but they would stop wicking immediately! lol
i tried fat wicks, thin wicks, long wicks, short wicks, filling screw in, filling screw out and a multitude of different oxidising methods.......but no matter what the wick would just not wick!
anyway, to cut a long story short i came to the conclusion that it must be caused by an air lock despite the fact that i never used the filling hole screw so there "should" have been at least some air flow.
so i simply made the filling hole a little wider and the problem was solved immediately and now it wicks just fine
unfortunately i didn't use a drill bit to widen the hole so can't give you an exact dimension, but hopefully this pic will put the size into a little perspective:-

I might try that .... I will look for a small replacement screw in the size I widen it to first though, just so I have one to put in if I want/need to.
I have not had this problem yet. Ip'm betting that he overfilled the tank and blocked the hole up with juice. I could be wrong, but that's my
That's a good scratch. I think it could be fixed up if you had something to turn it on and a scotchbrite pad
.
if it is a long scratch down between the tank cover and battery tube is, i have it too straight down one line, mine is the same too i think it's something that went wrong with the machine
My long batt tube came dented in at the top on one side, where the threads are, but it still seems to work fine.
Anyone know an easy way to fix it? I don't want to mess it up, so if it's not easy, and won't hurt the threads, I may just leave it ....

I dropped mine getting out of my car onto gravel pretty hard and I will take pics of the damage later... fn gravity....lol
Mine came with a couple machining marks on it, but it's handmade and it gives the PV some character IMO. Think beauty mark.
Riel think battle scar...really that sucks though. Sorry to hear it. Dreading when it will happen to me.
Blu, I'd leave it if it were me. As long as it is threading ok and hidden.
