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.

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.

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.

    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.
