Watch out for that little bitty o-ring under the top cap, too. So easy to lose.

^^ what the drunk bear said.

It's not held in there by anything when you take it apart. A lot of people lose it when they're changing coils or wicks & never realize it until after the rba is leaking like sieve. I have a blog post on rewicking a KFL/R91 with cotton (it was actually a response to another conversation, but I put in a lot of pictures which might be helpful for people new to the platform). I note in there for final assembly, look for the o-ring. Every time. Make it a habit & you'll never lose it.

Was rinsing out the top cap and watched the little booger go right down the drain. After scaring the neighbors with a Vaderesque "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" I went to the Home Depot around the corner with the Russian and found a pack of teeny tiny orings in the plumbing section that will work as a replacement. I'd list the size, but I put em a little baggy and threw out the box they came in :glare: but in a pinch just bring it with you and check the fit. I'm pretty sure they were the smallest orings in the plumbing section anyways. Best to just be careful and not lose the damned thing in the first place, but worst case.

When cleaning anything vape related, a mesh colander is the best gear you can have. :D

Been there done that!! Fortunately, had an extra in the pack that came with the topper!

Got it running at 1.4 ohms. Working pretty good. Strong throat hit. I think it might be the nicotine in the free juice I'm using. Not used to 12. I usually buy 6. uploadfromtaptalk1391528827366.jpg
