LA vs. the Veritas - Round 2

Returned with food and beer consumed and a new mind to conquer. Used a small screwdriver wedged between the deck and the cap to leverage it up all around. Victory is mine! The cap is off.

BK had it nearly right (though I didn't see his post until after I fixed it). Half of the top o-ring had been pushed down. It was resting over the bottom o-ring making a double layered seal on one side. Made for a tight seal of top cap to bottom deck.

It's apart and soaking for a good cleaning before I try my first build. Gonna go for a 28ga horizontal micro coil aiming for around 1 ohm.

Can't send it back now thanks to twice slipping with the screwdriver for a couple of shallow scratches on the outside of the top cap. Meh. For $25 and something to play with, I can live with it.

Thanks again, gents!

Hope you got the spare Orings. I bought a Plume Veil from vape Royalty. It was an Infinte clone. They had the delrin insert torqued into the top cap so tight that I had to take a chisel and bury it into the delrin to get a good enough bite to unscrew it. Left chisel marks all over the delrin but it didn't matter because it is on the inside of the rda. I have come to expect clones will have something wrong with them more often than not.

Just don't let her think she'll be able to do a good job. Because if she does, she'll smoke us in a build contest.

It's all that nip tucking that she probably does with her day job.. dexterity of Robot if you ask me. :rolleyes:

Fellas, one thing that has become abundantly clear to me is that when speaking to a female about vape gear, be sure you make looks the top priority throughout the conversation. It's OK to get technical and mechanical as long as your giving at least equal time to the cosmetics and form factor. It's not enough to say an 8-wrap, 28ga, 1.2ohm coil is best in an RDA. Add that it is very pretty and she will understand what you're saying. :)

There was nothing at all in the box other than the RDA and the drip tip. Already wondering where to get the o-rings. One has a pinched area, probably where it was smushed.

Before building, I tested the cap to make sure it would not get stuck again. I couldn't snap it on until I coated the o-rings with juice. Goes on easily, spins and comes back off with a firm pull.

All ready to build and load it up with Temptation. April, I'll post back with results. :)

Sorry Bridget I'm a bad influence....my kids are raised so I have more fun money than I did when they were home

I don't have a single one yet, even though I have known about them forever. But then, not everyone has the Zen to resist temptation..

No orings, huh? They sent me spares orings. The drip tip didn't fit worth a crap. Worst fitting drip tip I ever saw. Always something with these clones.

Let us kow how your build goes.
