I got my cameleon in yesterday.. Been using it all day & evening. Fast shipping:D I like how the color changes in different light.. Very nice.. I ordered from another vender the tanks for this cause I wanted to try it out as well.. I been using both tidy 10 & tanks yesterday.. The tank works real good.. Lots of vapor, good th.. No leaking. I did have a leaking problem on the tidy 10.. Any 1 else have this problem.. I filled it like I do my bc phoenix & left a air hole. Vaped good from the start.. Set it down for a bit & when I came back it leaked out from the battery side.. Refilled it the same way again & it did it again after I left it sitting straight up.. In the instructions it shows them filling this with a needle bottle right side up.. So this next fill I took out top seal & I just poured my juice in from bottle & put seal back on & used my drip tip to set the seal.. No leaking this time.. Sat all night rightside up.. Must not have had the top seal snug enough with first 2 fills..

Yes, I had leaking with the Tidy as well, which totally bummed me out since it vapes fantastic. Basically, I them dump on me on the third refill. I'm wondering if punching a hole in the seal while filling is a bad ideal. Or, else, maybe I should be filling it with a sharp needle or something. I tried filling it upside down, and right side up - no difference, still dumped.

Currently, I have one that I took apart, then put together again without a seal, filled, and thumped the seal back on. It leaked a few drops while I was filling it, but when the seal went on it stopped. So far I pretty much vaped it empty, and no leaking. I want to remove the seal to refill it, but haven't figure out how yet without damaging the seal or taking it apart again...

P.S. Actually, it is leaking some - a veeeeery slow seepage from the battery end.

Glad to hear the tank system works well, I'm going to order that when GV gets it.

Awf40, let's start another thread on the Tidy - it's separate issue from the iTaste, after all, but I'd like to figure out how to make it work without jumpage. :) So, meet me over there, ok?

Please post a link to your new thread when you start it.

Thanks.

Hi to everyone, does anybody know how to clean the atomizer heads of the tank system? Been using the same 2.6 ohm attie since I got the device (two weeks ago) and for the last couple of days I noticed a drop in performance added with some leaking at the battery connection, nothing majour but still a bit messy everytime I pull out the tank for refilling. I think it's because the atty is all gunked up with juice so I wanted to proceed with a thorough cleaning, but before doing so wanted to get my facts straight.

I'm really impressed with the device, really works like a charm and i've been getting constant approving stares from friends and pubblic alike. Nothing like the bewildered ones I get when I go around clutching a wooden bottom feeding mod :oops:

I just did a dry burn to my 2.6 att.. Just take a small flat screw driver & u can lift it off the base.. It lifts easy.. Dont' pull it right off.. U want it to hang with the wick still attached.. I just lifted it up & it hung over a bit just to see the coil.. I than turned my itaste battery down to lowest setting & put it on dryed burned until I could see the coil glow.. U don't need to put it in the att cover to fire it.. i just set it in so I could see the coil.. Worked good.. Just snaps back down in base when done.. I just put a drop of juice in it than tank on & its working like it was new again..

bad, you should get Innokin to make and sell skirts for the device :). The skirt would basically be a small/short cap with an open top that covers the metal base and the magnetic 510/808/etc adapters. The device is very sexy and sleek, but using a Vivi Nova on it ruins that appeal. Skirts are a great/cheap way to get that visual appeal back.

Got the itaste today - it is great. I love my Provari, but it is a heavy lug. I also have the Twist. Really like the twist. It could be my imagination, but the Phoenix seems to vape even better (if that is possible) on the itaste.

I did add some shim around the magnet because my heavy SS drip tip caused it to wobble. Shim stock fixed that.

Have the iphone. Have the ipad. Needed the itaste :)

What about having it flair out to 3/4" diameter to match the tank? So it'd be square at the bottom and then flair out to a circle. I'm not sure if it'd be the magnetic adapter that would need to flair or an additional skirt piece (someone with an iTaste probably knows which way would work best) but I'd think it'd be pretty cool looking.

Or better yet, have them make a square Vivi Nova tank with integrated bottom skirt (to mesh seamlessly with the top of the iTaste's connector) and a cap on top of the tank. I'd bet you could get a 3ml square tank made that would look awesome yet not be atrociously long!

Problem with flairing out is that there are different sizes of tanks, idk how you'd get it to look okay on all of them. It wouldn't need to be the adapter, just the cap.

The DCTs I have and the Vivi Nova are all 3/4" diameter, so maybe that'd be a good "standard" size? Obviously other tank diameters vary but I think the bulk of the most popular tanks are that size (Odysseus and Zenesis type of rebuildable might be larger indiameter?) As long as the tank has a flat bottom though the flair wouldn't have to match it perfectly, as long as the flair is the same or SMALLER diameter than the tank.

I just went and looked and the Zenesis is .85", so slightly larger diameter than 3/4" (.75). BUT it's only .1" larger, so it'd hang past the flair only .05" on each side. That's less than 1/16" and IMO wouldn't look bad at all!

Main concern is with the thinner tanks and such. I know there are tanks that are thin enough to be flush with an eGo style batt and that would look horrible with a skirt that flares out beyond the tank :p. If they make it large, it'd probably be best if they made multiple sizes (I know they make multiple sizes of eGo skirts, some are just flush, some flare out).

Why not an adapter that would accept an ego skirt? Take one of the 510 magnets, cut ego threads on the outside corners, then you'd not only have the ablity to use an ego skirt, but any ego mounting atty... I'm thinking a "B" Tank atty might be rather nice!

That would be problematic. It'd require a new adapter, which would be expensive to both make and purchase. The skirt itself can just slip over both the adapter and the base of the adapter, right above the trigger.

There's two pieces of metal you have to cover, the adapter and the base below it. If you wanted to just screw threads into the adapter to use a stock eGo skirt, it wouldn't work. You'd need a dedicated skirt with the eGo threads in the middle of the skirt, it would be complicated to manufacture and overall isn't as good as a cap wth a hole in it.


guys/gals drawing would help alot, no matter how bad you draw, anyting can help to form ideas to send in

thats how improvements are made, everyone chips in, i add to that as well, then we talk it over with them and see what can be done.

I suck at drawing. Imagine taking a dremel to the top of the current cap, so that there is a hole in the top of it. It would slide over the adapter. Looking at my picture, it would cover everything from the bottom of the tank (the top of the 510 adapter) to the area right above the trigger -- everything that is covered by the cap normally (except, ofc, the tank).

That is brilliant. I need to go find my dremel :)
