I do notice a difference in taste if I top up a tank ... IMO, they just taste better with fresh wicking with every tank refill.

I use 6 of these setups daily ... therefore, on average, I am only rewicking about one tank per day.

takes about 5 minutes :cool:

That's one serious handcheck!

Is 99% Alcohol hard to find in your area?
I live where everything is shipped in; so seemingly ALL whole sale suppliers went to 73% for safety in shipping.
I searched High/Low for 99%- finally located in the capitol area, but had to "fly" it home (3oz limit).
Creative suggestions welcomed before I run out again.
btw Ive exhausted liquor supply, electronic, home supply, pharmacy supply, camera.
??
thank you and a very happy holiday season to one & All.

I buy 99% alcohol on Amazon. A bottle lasts a long time. I've been using the same bottle for over 2 years and I've only used 1/3 of it. I did spill some too.

Kinda a sad but good thing. My wife said I could order a radius this coming week since she will be working all kinds of crazy shifts at work. Down side is I will be missing out on all the sales that have been going on. Never fails I always miss out on the sales. Lol so hopefully in the next few weeks I will have my end all be all mod.
Dunno if this would work but Vape360 said they don't take money till dispatch, if you order a Radius tomorrow being the last day of the sale the wait time is 1-2 weeks so you should be ok?

It would be my luck they would ship it early. Lol I did think about that though. I would just feel better knowing the money was there. Bills have to come first. Thanks for the thought though.

I saw on eBay someone selling a p3 nautilus. You know that suckered sold for 75 plus 6 for shipping. Someone really wanted that thing. Wow!
Be Careful of eBay Clones...

What watt are you running at? I got that app that was mentioned. Gonna give it a try. My adv is a clear ry4 that I found. I run it in an erlkonigin clone and usually do the entire tank in a day.

My coil is 1.5Ωs and I run it between 12-14 watts either w/ a KFL lite or KFLV4.

Using a torch on the screws would clean them up. It's not something that can be done a lot as it will soften the metal but it does work. I'm surprised alcohol isn't working. Are you using 99%?

I tried a lighter, but it didn't do anything. Yes, I used 99% and soaked it for a long time. As I said, I vape for taste, not looks, so it's not an issue. Besides I only see the screws when I'm rewicking. ;)

Totally off topic, but is your avatar an Eastern Airlines Lockheed L-1011?

A lighter might not be enough power. I use a butane torch with a pin point flame. I'm surprised the 99% didn't work. I know others that use it clean pipes and things. I wonder if an ultrasonic cleaner would work. I know it's not a big deal, but things like this bug me if I have to look at it.
