New to LEO, few simple questions

[Chime]

Hi all,

I've recently received a boge LEO. Thing works great and am more than satisfied with it so far just a few quick questions as it's very different hardware from pretty much anything else I have lying about (510, Chuck, M601XL/M301).

1.) What's the preffered method for cleaning the atties?
- I've heard the good ol' 510 everclear dip can kill these puppies.
-Boiling like a skungy carto maybe viable?

2.) PTB work decently with them, or is it just a recepie for a mess?


Thanks for your time.

I actually use the alcohol method. Drop atomizer into a cup and fill with 90% isopropyl alcohol and let sit for 2-3 hours. Rinse well in extremely hot water until alcohol smell is gone. Blow out excess water (from threaded end). Let dry upside down over night on paper towel. It may take a bit to jump start it in the morning, sometimes up to 15-20 minutes of puffing, but it works like new when it does.

I agree with jackal3 on the cleaning....but i have been trying a different method useing baking soda and vinigar..i rinse the atty, put a couple pinches of baking soda down inside then slowly pour a little vinigar in and let it foam..do this a few times till the foaming action subsides then rinse again and let dry as usual..it is experimental but i have had good luck. Even brought a couple back to life.
As far as the tb....imo, the blue foam works the best..good flavor and vapor and once you find the right size to use..minimal leakage also

Let me know how the baking soda method holds up. Seems it would be gentler than alcohol.

Avidvaper sells Leo to 510 adapters. There is another vendor out there just dont remember However AvidVaper's version is better. I own both now.

These adapters are awesome and makes your leo battery more usable in the long run.

Enjoy your Leo these things are really going to take off when the Leo Cartomizer becomes more available to the public.

and even more so if they do make their own tank for the Leo.

Ok, she was talking about the adapter. I remember someone else posting a link to get them.
And yes, I agree, the cartomizers should be a big hit. The tank system for the Leo IS on its way. They have been working on it and experimenting with it for several months now.

So far so good....I have cleaned my leo atty's a couple times and it actually did wonders for my ego-t atty since you can expose the coil when you remove the wick...I just drop the baking soda right down onto the coil then pour in the vinigar...seems to help loosen all the gunk....The vapor production came back to like new. I think I forgot to mention that I also do a dry burn before use.

Alright I'll give the everclear a shot then, thanks for the tips guys, love my fog pen

Also update : fluval works like a charm in the carts I got a diff kind than is in most vids (looks more like a sponge and has no grain) but it still works wicks great and wastes very little juice.

Thanks again for the tips guys.

Another simple question about the Leo. Has anyone ever determined what voltage the batteries work at?

Read every post I could find and have seen some conflicting opinions.

Loaded or unloaded is fine, just looking for a reference point.

TIA

3.66-3.7v and 3.5v loaded.

Thanks Jackal, you really are the resident Leo expert!

Still trying to decide on the Leo or Lea! Been wanting to try a tank, but ...the waiting is the hardest part!

 

[Jackal3]

Well the Leo tank atty/cartridges are coming out very soon.
