Thanks Pappy. I don't think I have any red. But I used to have the two lower colors. I don't use that loctite often, but when you need it, ya need it. I use it so little that I have to read the color code to see which one is what, every time. The first time I bought some, was to lock in my antenna on my truck. Somebody stole the first one. I wasn't happy. That antenna was just the one that came with the vehicle, nothing fancy. This was to prevent those not equipped, nor determined, to get the new antenna. Since then I have used it for various things. I even use it on some old reels I have, to hold in screws that are known to pop out on ya.

Dusty, when I let go of the fire button on the Panzer....where should the level of the button be? I said it was every so slightly below the bottom of the mod. (in an unlocked position) You never replied on that yet.



I've mentioned before that I've been able to place the Panzer flat on a table without unscrewing anything. The button when not in the firing position was set so that it was completely flush with the bottom.

    You should be able to set the Panzer down unlocked without it firing , the button should be a couple of millimeters above the locking ring when fully unlocked , not even with or protruding past the locking ring .

    Well I am pretty big on safety. I locked and unlocked the Panzer, when using it. Especially after taking the battery out, and putting it back in, so many times...it didn't want to lock the first time the negative pin backed off. Then the Panzer emblem firing button hit the floor. I had not adjusted it at all when that happened. It did it on it's own. Then from that time on, the tinkering began. Since I tightened that negative firing pin with the pliers, it has been fine as far as lock, unlock. It has not come undone since that time, at least not yet. I am about to take off the battery and check it in a little bit. When I do, I will see if that pin is holding. If you hold the Panzer up above eye level, you barely detect it going below the bottom ring. At first glance it looks even. If I hold it to the light, I see it is the slightest bit below. I could play around with the top pin, to see if it would change the level up just a hair. That one moves around though. A set screw would have been nice, that way these pins couldn't back off. I might end up getting magnets for it. I will know more later.

    The EHPro Billow RTA
    A Review by Sirius


    Features:

    Two Massive 2.5mm airflow holes with independent airflow adjustments
    4 post design like the PlumeVeil, Helios, etc
    Reduced chamber chimney that balances build area with flavor production
    4 deep juice channels
    Thick Glass Tank with approx 5ml capacity
    Copper 510 Positive pin
    22mm width

    ed2c62a6-66be-4901-a1a3-f0d6ed4c6fbb_zps0fe36954.jpg


    My Billow came with the serial number 5498..here you can see the fill hole screw and the adjustable air flow screws on the left and right of the center post pin.

    The packaging I won't go into great detail as it's rather a plain cardboard box but does include two spare silicone gaskets for the glass tank and extra screws. A screwdriver and a bit of wick material.

    The Billow follows closely in the design of the Orchid..and the breakdown is just as simple. The chimney is one piece with an O-Ring at the top to prevent leaking.
    I've had no leaks with this tank whatsoever. Here I have two 26ga coils built for a thinner juice. Any higher VG than a 50/50 blend micros won't wick well..but with this 50/50 blend I'm vaping..I've had no dry hits.

    The Billow holds around 5ml of juice and this amount lasts me a pretty good amount of vaping time even with these .6 ohm coils. Simple to fill and not messy at all using a syringe with a 16ga. blunt needle.

    It looks nice for a big tank and isn't too heavy..I've only been vaping it for a day but feel confident enough to recommend this tank for both clouds..(with AC wide open) and flavor. I get plenty of flavor with this tank and it's the only one so far besides the Orchid that I do get flavor from.

    Clouds? You want clouds ya say....

    Lori, vaped through a tank on the Prinz at 15W for the last few hours. Tank is empty.. here's a shot of the condensation on the Sig100 and under the tank.

    No leaks..

    Thanks, Dusty! Looks like the same amount as was on my ZNA when I last refilled. No leaks for me either with my latest build. I love my ZNA, and it's the only regulated mod I have for lower ohm and dual builds. So I prefer not to have condensation like that on it. Since the build on my Prinz is 1.3 - 1.4 ohm, I just moved it to the Provari. It's working great there.

    The Provari has a channel to catch the condensation and keep it away from the top connector pin. The indentation of the top cap on the Provari also allows more space for airflow. I'm happy with it.

    Well my Aqua2 shows it left California on the 7th STILL....no updates since that time. I am HOPING it will be here TOMORROW.

    Sirius, do you like the Billow more than a Kayfun? I bought some 10ml blunt needle syringes for filling my Aqua2. I don't know what gauge the blunt tip needle syringes are. I hope they are good for filling most rta's with. They are soft squeeze, that is why I bought them. I have arthritis. I hope they work out good. I am going to label some of them with my favorite juices. That way I won't have to be cleaning them constantly.

    I don't know what others do, but I use cheap vodka to clean out my syringes. And to soak tanks in. It works really well to remove remnants of flavors when you want to switch to a new one.
