Vassilis mailed on Friday the 29th and we received the following Monday on the 2nd...Since Vassilis uses FedEx, this takes no shipping time at all...seems equivalent to US priority if you are lucky. Easy Peasy...
Maybe they will confuse your address with mine someday seeing as we live in the same zip code :D

do you see any hole on mouthpiece klepto? Try to blow air without the air control on mouthpiece and by keeping your palm on the mouthpiece where it screws on rebuildable part
Argh... I got air leak problems again. I took of the mouthpiece cause the aircontrol driptip was stuck, because of the bigger o-ring. I hold my finger at the bottom of the mouthpiece and i can breath true it with the aircontrol driptip mounted. When i remove the drip tip its totally sealed. So even with the bigger o-ring mounted it still leaks air in from the side of the driptip. I guess my mouth piece or the driptip has a faulth on it. With the bigger o-ring its way to hard to turn the aircontrol and when the o-ring dry, its VERY hard to move. Do you have a fix for this Imeo? Or do i need to get another mouthpiece?

Some one already tried tube mesh on the resistance ??
With cotton inside it??
It's look like it will be more easier this time with
one channel only.

I sure want to try this one out.

ok Babyilon 5 ,Giscovery Ghannel :laugh:

If you have not tried before to know that I tried but I am not a smile with this setting
the best option for me so far
SETTING 3X2X3
I like the 3mm silica wick x 2 times-from Vassilis
and 3 laps with flat ribbon wires 0.5
I cut the second wick ,one of the top
:toast:

Wishful thinking with all the stuff you and Yankee order.
Vassilis is ALL OVER IT!! whether you order 1 or 8 - he treats everyone with respect and appreciation! I have never had an error with an order from him or an OOPS of any sort. Everything always comes put together correctly with all the parts to it. Record time in taking the preorder money and paying Imeo so he can get the preorder immediately when ready and makes putting them together and mailing them out 1st priority. AND communicates any issues with the shipping company? Now that's a man that cares about his business and his customers.

Hi Imeo, thats what i did, hold my palm over the bottom of the mouth piece, without the drip tip its 100% sealed, with the drip tip i can breath true it. With the big o-ring it still is leaking, not as much as with the small o-ring ofc. With the big o-ring its very hard to adjust the drip tip, and when the o-ring dry out, it wont move. Dint try to apply brute force to move it, as i was afraid to damage the rebuilde part. So have to take of the entire mouth piece to adjust the drip tip. Without the drip tip its vaping like the Ithaka, more dense flavor and abit more flavor full taste. So my guess is that either im very stupid or there is a something wrong with the mouth piece or the drip tip. I can try different o-rings on it when i get the time. I really love the new penny, and im sure i will get the full benefit of it in time :)

There is always some imperfections of items this small. Your o-ring might be a hair too tight or too thin, or the slot where the o-ring sits might be a hair too small or too big. You have to try different o-rings until one feels right.

Same here. Well lubed even the thicker o-ring allows free rotation, but air is still leaking in. I'm trying out many different tips and found a couple which are able to give almost the same vape as without mouthpiece, this is what I want to achieve. Without mouthpiece it's really an amazing vape. What bothers me about all tips I'm trying out is that they ruin aesthetics - I like the GG mouthpiece style as I have in Ithaka or Penny V1, it will be difficult to find a tip that matches perfectly and is not too long, either. Suppose I'm going to remove o-rings from these tips and place them on the semitelescopic one.

Now, all smile:

Proof of concept experiment! :lol: I wrapped mouthpiece and semitelescopic mouthpiece in scotch-film (of course no regulation of air like this) just to see how much air leaks in, if any.
Experiment failed: same story, a lot of air leaking in. I think I'll stick to o-rings.... :D
Of course by replacing both o-rings the problem will be free rotation without involving the principal mouthpiece; with one bigger o-ring, if well lubed, it works, with two...who knows.
