Thanks for the video, its full of great information and so detailed and well edited.

So on the first application of wick, that was cotton? and the second was that how to build if you use Cellucotton? or can both ways be used with either cotton or cellu? The first one looked interesting with the cotton actually hanging out of the bottom above the channels.

Hmmm , will have to play tonight. :)

Im still loving my Phenomenon, but I am having some minor "over saturation" no leaks but getting some liquid either popping out the mouthpiece on initial fire up or slight gurgle. I rather have too much juice than the dreaded dry hits. If anyone cares to share any build experience, please share.

I have a very sensitive throat and one dry hit and I have a sore throat for days, so Im glad its not dry hit problems........ Thank you Aiolos......

The flavor from this atomizer is so good.....

You have a Dark Knight....... darn, I wanted one so much when I saw it, I never even went to look at the site. I figured it was going to be really, really expensive. Then I saw the price and kicked myself for not checking sooner; OUT OF STOCK....

Sorry you missed them....:(

You just had to "rub it in" ? what beauties...... I do have "The Warrior of Light" not telescopic, but it is beautiful........

I have not had the time to take some solo shots of the WOL, but here is a partial. Focus was on the atties, but you can see a small part of my GUS16 too and of course the Phenomenons.

Didn't mean to rub it in but, by the looks of that picture not having a DK is a fine compliant to have!.....:laugh:

Was eyeballing the WoL myself but have another Paps on the way so for now I'll hold off.

Have to agree with you...Clean devices are happy devices! :thumb:

Just came in, Beautiful build quality, v. good flavor,,,
but really looking for a little more af, or perhaps need to play with the af ring a bit more!

Try placing the coil just a tad higher and slightly to the side and make sure that your wick has some space under neath near the air intake..... How much space there is affects the airflow...... and also If by any chance its slightly flooded it will make the draw tighter.

Just a thought as I thought the same thing at first.

Also, I got that same drip tip and it actually works better with a more narrow tip like my KF Spheroid tip or the KFL tips.

BTW, how did you set up the wick? KFL style or one of the other ways in some of the above videos?

Thanks for the reply an, and excellent tips. I do recall the portion of the vid suggesting putting the coil up and over a bit. This was my first build so not thinking that far ahead. Didn't experience any flooding, however the coil was pretty close to the air holes, 2 mm perhaps. It was a standard contact coil about 6 wraps of 28 gauge. Wick wise I just cut the cotton long enough to hit the deck, the top deck such that when you screw down the chimney no cotton going down the vertical trenches.
Just took a toot, flavor is awesome and looks great on the Lord. Really the air flow is the only complaint, and with that in order, thanks to you, it's a keeper.
thanks again.

THanks to ME? Nah, dont think so...... :)

It is a keeper..... I bet it looks fantastic on the LORD, I take it that you got the polished? or do you have that LORD that is matte?

My photo's, not so good. It's the matte along with a matte Lord. Great match-up.

So tempted to get a Matte, to match the Phenomenon, I saw this photo and I have not seen that GUS 22 on the GUS site, maybe its an upcoming one to match the Phenom, I hope, I hope , I hope......:)

For G16w with ball bearing on switch have a video from a friend Daves

For clean the switch you can just use acetone but if you want disassembly it you will need a tools for the clip and for sure a new clip after to install







BTW, are there any good videos in English on total breakdown of the GUS22 and GUS16 ? I like to clean my devices thoroughly and would like to know how to go about taking the buttons apart properly. I read somewhere one needs special tools?
