New Wood, Acrylic and Tru Stone Drip tips

[gh0zt]

nite drew and hola aj. ok since all the experts are here i have a few questions. when people say they clean their ihys, what exactly is the process? do i just get up in the threads with soap and water? air hole and wick don't line up to the tank cutout and its bugging me. i see people talking about sanding down the threads to line it up. halp please! sorry not been very handy with tools and all that i fix and play with computers all day.

Cleaning is easy. Just disassemble, wash with soap and water and rinse really well.

As far as lining everything up, if you carefully sand down the tube, the threaded section will be slightly shorter and align differently when fully assembled. I would take caution in this. I have heard a sanding sponge available at an auto parts store is the way to go, but I have no experience with this.

If your going to sand it down use a figure 8 motion to keep it uniform.

yep gh0zt like stirring a pot on the sanding sponge. dont push down hard while sanding it takes some time depending on how far you have to go.

sand the atty end on the batt tubes and the end closest to the atty on the cutout. ive done all of mine. sanding sponge at autozone 100 grit works great

shai and SD showed me how


edit: get the cutout lined up with wick hole first. then work on batt tubes after the cutout is good to go.

old toothbrush and toothpaste gets brass contacts super shiny....but ultrasonic cleaners are my preference for everything else

they really are awesome looking and to vape with. they stay nice and cool while chain vaping.

 

[gh0zt]

awesome thanks guys. actually on the sweet med i notice its directly in the center of the cutouts and might be perfect there. i'm usually rocking 18350 and my fingers are all caught up in the cutout if the hole was lined up. ill sand down the standard a bit this weekend. i just ordered a ultrasonic the other day haha. guess im throwing tubes in that thing.

^^^welcome to the club

How much are those ultrasonic things and where do you get them? lol

Yep, we have nice vape meets and you should come to one, gobliN.

Apparently there is a side room with 1 big round table. They are going to have some RBA gurus hold up in there for an hour or so to give tutorials and shtuff. Jeff invited me to be a guru. I was quite flattered.

The meet start at 8pm, but I will likely show up early and eat dinner.

You know I am always early. I like to get a good table.

I got mine for about $30 shipped off amazon. Here's a link

I am going to CA in a few months. How far is that from WA!

 

[rosesense]

couple of states away so not that far. You should hit the next vape meet, seriously. It will probably be in the fall.

i got mine from harbor freight. there is/was? a 20% off coupon. I needed the 8 minute timer and heater to speed steep diy liquid. Couldn't bring myself to drop $100+ for a 30min timer. http://www.harborfreight.com/25-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-95563.html

 

[rosesense]
