I'm in the Dallas area and have the tiniest of leaks on my Lite, hardly worth noting. Pretty sure it's the fill screw, gonna throw some teflon tape on it tomorrow. Other than that, it's been an awesome vape so far. Of course I've only had it 24 hours so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for leaks.
All that info is highly classified and under wraps at the Gysland Skunk Works facility. I look forward to the day when non-Super-T atty's are off-topic here lol. I also know whatever David comes up with I will buy - silica or genesis, the engineering will trump any preconceived notions/biases I have with either. Spending all this time figuring out "what to get" in the meantime is kind of moot, tiz just a placeholder until the real deal from David arrives

"Gysland skunk works"
I like that!If i'm not mistaken(and sometimes I am)Super Dave used to drag race(not with the pro's)and I bet he made more than 1 part for his quick toys
I think the leaking had to do with the Kayfun Lite not 3.1? Based on my video training (haha), the 3.1 used a fill valve that created a vacuum during the fill intended to prevent leaks, the Lite version did away with that design. COM76's fix was to recreate a vacuum in the tank by using a compressed empty dripper bottle to suck as much air as you could, and that apparently worked for him. I can see how stepping out into 95F temps from a cool 70F AC environment will put any atty through a good "leak test". Two things working against you, your e-juice thins as anavidfan pointed out and any air in your tank will want to expand.
I got lost in the conversation during 'technical difficulties'. I am now back in.
Certainly! I vote for coffee! Coffee after dinner .. coffee after anything!
Whatever floats your boat is fine with me
Cool! Who's the mole in Gysland Skunk Works? ... someone needs to pull his clearance NOW lol.
Likely on his way to Russia to seek asylum with Snowden I'd imagine.

Well, given the reply below the wick will not be ceramic. That was my first guess too. I suppose we'll just have to wait and find out.
Reply from David: Ceramic is too brittle in my opinion to be used, not that it might not work, but breaks too easily. Sorry, i can't reveal the wick composition, its proprietary information.

Not sure it'll matter what kind of wick it is. Give it a few days in our hands and someone is going to figure out how to put some kanthal and silica in it.

Just gave my brass rings a quick shine. Not a thorough polish, though, but just enough to clean 'em up. They needed a little 'cos the patina was just starting to look downright cruddy
Oops, that pic is not proper protocol for this thread . . .
There, that's better

Just a Cape Cod cloth and then a quick buff with a soft cloth. Got my SS rings in the other day and was gonna try 'em on . . . didn't cos they were in the other room and I'm lazy
So a cape cod cloth is just a cloth? Does it have some compound embedded in it? Or is it like a micro fider cloth? Can a cape cod cloth be used over and over again or is it like a single use? Sorry ive never polished anything
It's basically a soft (cotton maybe?) cloth soaked in a vanilla scented polish compound. Yeah, they're re-usable to a certain extent. For light touch-up type stuff like I use them for I can get quite a few uses out of them before it's time to toss 'em.
Cape cod cloths are great for everyday or weekly cleaning. Non-abrasive and easy on you as well. Cleans and shines without affecting the surface, though I dont know if they are completely safe on the satin, anyone use them on the Satin finish?
Cape cod with the buffing cloth once a month for heavy duty grime. If you have surface scuffs the Cape Cods will not take those off even with the buffing cloth, at least not for me. If you have scuffs , Autosol with a bit of elbow grease will soften the scratches, but definately not for use on Satin finish, as I heard that Autosol will polish off the media blasted look.
Someone posted somewhere a few days ago that Ebay has a great deal on the larger tin of the cloths, cheaper than on Amazon

I wouldn't use them on the satin finish. They may be light-duty, but I think they would still affect it
I never even thought to check ebay, I always bought them direct from CC, but looking now I see the tins are on ebay for about half that price
