So I need to take the tank back apart so I can dry it but I don't quite understand how you get the juice chamber under the wick dry. and the air chamber without breaking it completely down. Have you ever used straight VG on the threads and seals. I do it all the time on my old KFL's
Yep! Aspire recommends doing it on the silicone seals on theirs. Not the threads, just the seals.

Just blow though the top air hole to get most of the water out! It's really no big deal if it's a little wet. Juice gets down there and warm water is how to get it out. You don't have to take it apart and dry it.

If you really want to you just keep turning the juice control/shut off ring closed and it will come apart but don't loose the little parts that fall out or you won't be vaping it today! I think it's mostly the spring that falls out if the 510 pin is still in there. There is a nut that comes out if the 510 screw is out.

Since the juice doesn't reach the air screw not reason to worry about that area??
Juice and condensation will get in there like any other atty and you can rinse it out like any other atty and the KFL by running some hot water though the air hole and then blowing it out. I had to take mine apart to put the P3 connection on and it's not that bad but for everyday use its not nesesery!

A well-written, fairly straightforward, informative and disturbing article about the absence of mandatory quality control for vaping products in China:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/14/b...acks-oversight-for-safety-.html?emc=eta1&_r=0

I'm on paragraph four.

One study found e-cigarette vapor that contained hazardous nickel and chromium at four times the level they appear in traditional cigarette smoke; another found that half the e-cigarettes sampled malfunctioned and some released vapor tainted with silicon fibers.

Which study? The one from 2009 when they corrected the problems or the one this year when, oopsie, they forgot to mention the heavy metals and other crud where from the air the subjects were breathing? :grr:

OK Mek now I want it cut so it reaches the holes and a little extra then put chimney piece on tuck it down but not too tight so there is a little extra at the top with the ends touching the wholes gently right?
Sounds good from here! I kind of picked the wick up at the coil a bit after blowing on it to fluff. Then gently put it down in the chamber. That way there is extra kind of puffing out of the top.

Is this like the study that found all sorts of poisonous stuff in dog food and dog treats? You remember: the food manufactured in China that was subject to quality control measures. Funny. I'm not recalling that the NYT advocated banning dogs :blink:

Yep I was thinking of folding my wick over one of my real smal diamieter screwdrivers then tucking it down and if it just right remove the screwdriver if it is a little long I can lift it slightley. This first time will make it easy to see how long it has to be so next time I won't have to measure. I'm like you I don't like to wet the wick down till it is placed in the lower part of the chimney.

It's too bad that the ss part of the tank makes it impossible to see your juice because they sure made it pretty. Really engraved nicely looks beautiful on there.
That's true. I like it but like seeing the juice better. Maybe I'll try it after I get use to how long it takes to drain. I had a solid SS Tatro tank back in the day, so to speak, and I just topped it off all the time!

Oh, when the wick is right, you can fill the tank to the top. I just did that this morning and not a dry hit at all. No more having to leave 1/4 of the tank empty like the KFLs.
