Not yet, I'm unable to dislodge the tank body from the base
Will do the freezer treatment, then wrap rubber bands around it and unscrew. But that'd happen after sometime. Received my package just today (13 days in Canada Customs, 5 days in transit).
Excellent Excellent first build experience!
Excellent! Well besides a stupid move on my part.... Hahaha - I tried to swap drip tips and when I was pushing the trophy tip back on with a full tank I was holding the atty by the tank and opened it right up and 4ml juice right on my hands! Hahaha
But got it back together and fresh fill and it's glorious. Excellent flavor/etc and excellent clouds.

After 2 weeks and some trial and error getting my wicking down, the Phenom Lite has become my favorite tank atty to date. Love this thing, what a work of Vape Art! I was just wondering what are some of your "go to builds" as far as wire gauge and inner coil diameter?
One thing though, I can't seem to top fill with out getting a bit of flooding. I was reading an earlier post about closing the afc ring, then filling..which I've been doing, but still get some initial leaking. Not bad once I vape through it though. Any suggestions?

I had similar experience with top fill. Best way to avoid the flooding is to fill slowly, while tipping it at a slight angle and do not overfill. The problem is pressure builds and you get the juice going down the juice channel and up the chimney or out the air holes if filled to fast or too much.
Make sure the chimney is closed and then put the sleeve on slowly and turn upside down. You can see little bubbles float up wards. GIve it a second or two to balance out the pressure. Then slowly open the air flow ring while upside down. Then flip and you should not have any flooding. I now fill from bottom for less chance of flooding. You just have to get used to tucking the wicks back in place and screwing the base down to the chimney. Its wierd at first having to do this upside down, and I used to get my wicks kinda out of place, but with practice it becomes more natural.
Awesome, I'll give both methods a try next time I have to fill or swap out the wick. Thanks a ton!
The Phenom is a bit different, but its that difference that gives it the best of ALL worlds: flavour, vapor and good looks. For me it took sometime to twist my slow mind and stupid hands into the change, but really it becomes natural so quick.
After spending almost 3 years with basically one tank atty, it was a big change for me.

Awesome suggestions. My only question is what do you mean by making sure the chimney is closed? Just screwed down all the way?
I guess I'd we're covering the air holes by closing the air flow, it would make sense that we need to actually put our ringer over the drip tip opening as well? (Since they occupy the exact same opening to the atmosphere).

In 2012 there was not much choice in atomizers. It was a carto and tank, trad 510 atties, and then came some clearomizers and Genesis came soon. Most had some drawbacks, Genesis and clearos both leaked if placed on the side. Cartos were throw aways and got clogged with certain juices.
Gennies were troublesome for some and changed the flavor etc. There were some drippers like the little Fatty by Chris Creations. Things took a giant leap shortly there after. There are so many choices now. Juice control is now common, as well as AFC. THere seems to be a new "must have" every month, sometimes more often.
So yes, I guess I do have a fondness for the Ody. It was simple, tasted great, so much versatility. Made to last forever and how many Modder still offer parts for sale at least once a year? I know the parts will stop being made, but I have a stockpile.
I hope I can stock up on Phenom parts because I have a feeling that I will probably be yammering about IT 3 years from now.
I had some slight flooding the first time I filled the Phenom too. What works for me is closing off the airflow, remove top cap, tilt the Phenom to full horizontal, fill holes up of course, fill and slowly tilt back vertical leaving a little air space, put back top cap and done. So far no flooding this way and it doesn't matter how much juice is already in the tank when I start filling.
While filling place your finger firmly on top of the drip tip ;-)

Well, for the first time in a couple months, I'm without my gus today. Who knows when I'll get it back working.
Once again, I was having issues with the button sticking. Decided that, even though I didn't have my snap ring pliers yet, I had to try to take it apart. Well, the snap ring slipped off and is lost somewhere. I searched for an hour, but nowhere to be found.
Problem is 6mm snap rings aren't terribly common in small-town USA. So I have to order one and wait however long.
I don't understand why this setup is a snap ring and now something threaded.
EDIT: Oh, and since my estia is a hybrid and I don't own any other m20x1 mods, that sits too. I'm stuck with a nemesis/tobh clone.

Q, although I'm not involved, I just thought I'd mention that there may be people that don't want their real names listed on this public forum. I see that you list "Qorax", not your real name.
None of my business, but...
