He said it was an empire drip shield and you had to slide it on from the bottom.
After a PGA soak overnight failed, I boiled them with some baking soda for about 15 minutes which did the trick.
I tried it last night (sunday). But for me, getting my Empire
DripShield to fit on the i06 was a really tight squeeze. It was
a real pain to get on, and even more of a pain to take off.
So it did "fit". But I'm not not putting it back on though.
Granted, my DripShield is only a week old. So an older one
with O-rings more broken-in "might" not be as cumbersome.
I can't say for sure.
I have an AvidVapor DripShield coming in tomorrow or
the day after. So I'll give it a shot with that one later.
Hope this helps.
empire drip shield didnt fit on mine. i didnt want to force the issue. i have an avidvaper drip shield ...same results. oh well. no biggy for me.
My HV i06 started off really well the other night (6v). Last night & today
however, it's been bellowing out copious plumes like crazy. 2 sec inhales
makes this little beast a fog machine. 3-4 sec inhales, and it's a
terra-forming smokestack!
And nice thing too, it's very forgiving when it needs drops...no burnt taste.
Just gets a little toasty like chocolate or coffee, even for 2-3 more puffs
before really needing drops...really nice!
eJuice: Apple & Tobacco mix, 100% PG, 12mg nic
VP: as if it terraforms it's own atmosphere (& lingers for a while)
TH: excellent, very satisfying even at 12mg nic
Flavor: rich, full bodied, and clean
Temp: lukewarm-to-warm, and very comfortable
Draw: feels somewhat tight, yet easy to draw & very smooth
juice Consumption: moderate
Atty: IKV HV i06 3.5ohms w/ Black Delrin i06 DripTip
Batteries: 2 AW-16340 LiFeP04's, from 7.5v-6.4v on DMM,
approx. 11.7watts under load
PV/Mod: Megalodon (mechanical)

Hey Greeny,
Thanks for the followup. Looking good!
I do have a question regarding "2 AW-16340 LiFeP04's, from 7.5v-6.4v (on DMM)". Your batteries should be coming hot off the charger at 3.6V each and settling in at about 3.36V or 3.37V after a few minutes. If you are getting a reading of 7.5V at the atty connector, that means that your batteries are charged at 3.75V each at the time of testing? You don't want that... Which charger are you using for your AW LiFePO4 batts?
Oh, and your setup is running closer to 5.5V under load so your wattage is probably not that high...

Day 27 on my i06 still dripping between 3.8-4.0 super vapor super flavor ! I never got the soapy taste from this Atty, I did get it with the HV for a bit but it went away. My LR I06 is still going like the Energizer bunny same as the day I twisted it on. I'm wondering if I may be still writing my days down in Dec when its snowing out side now with this i06 
PS; Also finding the new 510's very good so far !

Was able to copy & save this after
ECF went on the blink last night...

Ok thanks!
Yeah, my LiFeP04's actually came off the charger at 3.84 on one and 3.75 on the other, so I drained the higher one on my DMM for a bit to get them both the same. After vaping for about 2.5 hrs, I measured them again and they were 3.35v and 3.34v, so I vaped a little more and then measured 3.21v and 3.20 and then swaped them out for another pair that were ready on the charger, and also read high.
I took the lower values (2 x 3.2v) to "approximate" my starting point "under load" to get 11.7watts, instead of using the higher values of 3.75v: (ie: 2 x 3.2v = 6.4v ...and... 6.4v x 6.4v = 40.96 / 3.5ohms = 11.70watts).
I'm using the WF-138A LiFeP04 charger at the "3.0v" battery setting, and just checked it now after reading your note. The charger is giving off a whopping 5.24v in each battery bay! I unplugged it, switched it to the 3.6v battery setting, and each battery bay still measures 5.24v in each bay. I think I have a messed up charger here. That's just way too high.
To check against a known value, my 18650 Pila charger reads 4.17v in each bay right now. One of my 18650 batteries (which has been sitting out of the charger about an hour now) reads 4.0v. So my DMM seems to be fine here...but my LiFeP04 charger is not. Grrrrrrrrr.

That doesn't sound right, G. I think you need to contact the seller of the charger asap and get it replaced. Also, be careful, your LiFePO4 batts may be permanently damaged. I don't like messing around with batts especially when stacking them...
Tried one LR and one HV yesterday but the draws on them are a bit stiff...is it supposed to be stiff? Harder than an 801's draw. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I had to use a 510 to 510 extender to get any air flow on the e-Power. Works fine with the extender.
Are you using the drip tip? If not, you might want to open the air hole on the tip of the orange cap that came with it a bit. If that's not the problem then I guess you like an fairly loose draw. Keep in mind I did not try the draw with the orange cap so it's just a guess.

Don't go into panic mode yet. My batts come off my W-138 at 3.37V, yet both bays unloaded read 5.24V at both settings 3.0 and 3.7V. It is kind of normal to have them come off a little higher and settle to 3.3V after a few minutes. I have been using my charger for over a year with one set and just acquired another set about 4 months ago. No problemo. Keep an eye on them when they are charging to see if the batts get unusually hot. When the green light comes on take them out and let them settle for 2 minutes or so then take your reading. 3V batteries can charge up to 3.6V whilst 3.7 charge yp to 4.2V.
I have often forgotten my batteries overnight on the charger and all was fine. When the green light comes on the charger shuts off and just trickles.
I agree with what you are saying but his LiFePO4 batts are charging up to 3.84V. That's not good just like if a 3.7V battery charging up to 4.4V wouldn't be good for the battery longevity and possibly safety. It really seems that his charger is overcharging his batts imo.
I hear you my good man, but what is he reading a few minutes after taking them off?
I don't know, he didn't say. He said that "After vaping for about 2.5 hrs, I measured them again and they were 3.35v and 3.34v..." which is close to what they should be metering after they settled before he even started vaping.
I'm not sure, you obviously know more about batteries than I do and I respect your opinion. I just always thought that they should not be charging up past 3.6V which would indicate over-charging.
