i think jimho is a HV man.... note the 123's.
I believe you use the Iken 801 mini LR on the Phid, sans custom adapter no?
I am waiting on an Iken adapter (non custom) because someone posted (sorry whoever that was) that they fit for the Phid and Iken combo.
I really like the Iken 801 min LR altho i get a tighter draw after a couple days.. do you?
How do you clean those puppies?
I havent recieved my juice yet... i think it was BWB hfc, since i needed to get a couple other things and ELExpress only seems to have tobacco flavs...?
I got so many orders coming in over the holiday week i can't keep track, and it takes a bit longer to Hawaii...
Same here with so many orders. I picked mine up at the UPS store and usually wait till there are several there before venturing into town. Then I get so confused by all the goodies I forget what came from where. Got two Iken packages today but haven't opened them yet. One has some semi. I waited too late to order the mini and they were out of stock.
I usually use high to 100% VG with mostly LR atty, Cisco, Iken, and others 306 and 510. With many of my juices I can only get about 24 hrs or less before they start getting a heavy draw. The way I clean them, and I've been doing this for 2-3 months, is to rinse them then get filtered water (from a Brita pitcher) boiling, then reduce the boil to just barely rolling, and dump them in for 5-10 minutes. I use a small tea kettle and it has a strainer going to the spout. Then set tea kettle in sink and run, already at hot water into the kettle to bring the temp down some. Drain, blow out when they are cool enough to handle. By boiling you don't need to do a dry burn every time. And I use heavy, thick, usually dark juices. Be careful to not let the water boil away.
This method gets all of the gunk out of air holes, out of the mesh, and gets the wicks pretty clean. I usually do a very careful, conservative, dry burn every 5 cleanings or so. Now, if I was getting several days use before they got cloggy I might do dry burning more often as the wick near coil would get more build up.
I ordered two Iken 801 adapters, for Lacewood, over the weekend and then discovered I had two already. I didn't know where they came from but checked and the older ones are from Iken.
I don't know about the Iken 801 attys but some brands, in steel, have some kind of coating on them, like a clear coat if not painted or covered with a wrap. After a couple of boils that and paint on attys and cartos starts coming off. I use a big paper clip to scrape the coatings off.
I've only boiled the semi once. It doesn't show any signs of peeling but it usually takes more than one boil for the coatings to begin sluffing off.
