. Ariel is my friend, your new avatar your brand?

Hey my friend,

No hehehe, I took it from an old brand:

Ariel was a bicycle, motorcycle and automobile marque manufacturer based in Bournbrook, Birmingham, England. Car production moved to Coventry in 1911. The company name was reused in 1999 for the formation of Ariel Ltd, a sports car producer.

Better than Ariel (The Little Mermaid) :laugh:

When I was a kid, I use to receive a lot of joke because my name: there were some TV commercial advertising the Ariel (laundry) washing powder brand, one of the TV commercials said something like "the chaca chaca of Ariel" (because the sound that a laundry machine produced in that time), some at the school guys called me "chaca chaca" :laugh:

I use carto condoms on the jaws of pliers to keep from scratching.....there's no way I can make this not sound dirty, is there?
Well at least you didnt mention the .... plugs. I use the .... plugs to keep the juice from flowing out the bottom of my cartos when I fill them. When I am done I have to wipe off my .... plug. ;-]

I got my penelope today, and after spending a fair amount of time getting it into working order, I love the vape!

But on the subject of set up time, I am unfortunately a little unhappy with the build quality. I would say that penelope is about 80% the quality of odysseus in my opinion. maybe i just got a bum build, but heres what I found.

The threads on the top cap are damaged and the threading is very rough. and, the lower nut on the positive post was cross threaded, and would not close all the way till i tapped the nut. And the mouth piece is kindof notch-y when turning to adjust juice. This being said, I do LOVE my penelope. And I think, now that i have cleaned up the threads where needed, the rest of the issues will break in over time. Imeo did a hell of a job designing this, and I am thoroughly impressed.

Thanks Imeo for another wonderful piece of kit, and I am REALLY looking forward to your future projects!

p.s. dont let my woes get you down, Im sure mine was just a fluke!

I appreciate all of the advice. I have broken everything down and rebuilt it several times. I definitely didn't cross thread, but I do appreciate the concern. I think the problem with the nut may be what is preventing the housing from screwing all the way down on the base.

Don't get me wrong, I got it up and running. Vaping at 7.4V and it is amazing. Just wanted to address some possible issues.

The only reason that I even brought any of this up is because I have watched all of the videos out there for the Penelope and the nut just seems to be off a little bit.

Thanks for all of the help ya'll.

What resistance coil are you vaping at 7.4v? With the increased th that I'm expecting to get with penelope, I've already started to break in a 1.5ohm coil in one of my Odys to the transfer into Penelope. Should be the perfect atomizer to sit on my GGTB until proteus is finally released!

For the resistance, I am just running the premade wire, so I would say around 1.8-2.0. I put mine on with a 510 adapter and attempted to use the air control with the Penelope, but there is still a small gap between the outside of the Penelope and the insides of the air control which doesn't allow for air flow control.

I guess you could make it work if you have an o-ring that you could put around the outside of the base of the Penelope to close the gap.

Has anyone tried putting their Penelope on GGTS control tank with a 901->510 adapter and a GGTS retreader to employ full use of airflow control?

I have!! It's the bomb!

Here is what Imeo has said to use and it works great! No gap a d complete air control. GG 510 to 901 rethreader, 808 to 510, 510 to 510. Works amazing Rick.
