Very nice, I am only waiting on 3 of those :( but have some other very nice devices on the way. I hope I love my Super T like I know you do. I will always be faithful to Perseas and GP as he is a great friend but, look forward very much to ELA quality like the owners on this thread do. It's nice to have friends already here and new friends like you that make me feel like I'm in the right place. Thanks.

Great mods, great people. It is a good place. Happy you joined us!

How do you guys recommend I give it a bath?

Hopefully, the same way you bathe yourself.... a little soap and water! :)

That's what I do. But if you are in the whirlpool tub with your ELA, you don't have to try and be inconspicuous about where you put you aim the jets and try and keep a straight face when the wife walks in like you do when you are alone in there. The jets will blow out any gunk and the Mr. Bubble cleans gently. Also, take the battery out first. I learned that the tingly hard way.

Just ordered a "gap filler", we'll see how it works out. Men's polished tungsten wedding band -
In 18650 mode using 2 wide accent rings on the extended tube the gap is 1/8th inch wide. The ring is 3mm wide x 2mm thick with ring size 12. I very carefully measured the existing accent rings to arrive at these numbers. Some minor sanding & polishing expected but as close as you can get with an off-the-shelf item I think. A trip to the hardware store and online search of SS washers didn't have anything nearly as close. All the Men's polished SS wedding bands seemed to be stamped with a seam in the inner diameter. Ok for a shotgun wedding along these lines I suppose ...

... but not for my ELA! The polished tungsten looks good, no seams, and will add a little bling I think. I'll post some pics if it works out.

Enjoying my ELA with banana pudding, oh yeah! My flat bottom button works fine but not a whole lot of travel before she fires. Didn't use the supplied washer and would actually like to increase the travel a tad. Anyway that can be done?

Edit: Travel is about the width of a dime, maybe even a little less.

7 months and still waiting. No doubt it will be even longer with the issues with top caps. And here I thought David was suppose to increase production. Wish he would complete all PREORDERS prior releasing and selling and shipping all these new parts and mods. C'mon. This is borderline madness. And no I'm not going to cancel...not after 7 months Monday rant!

My wait was 7 months, order #16275, yours must be close to that.

A thicker (or additional) o-ring in the bottom should do the trick.

Puff, I think there was a couple of washers on mine when it arrived. Double check yours, you may be able to remove some.

Got my shipping notice today so I should be vaping my ELA by spring break! Woooot!!! Pretty soon my P+ can go back to being dedicated to my Taifun GS and an ELA can be crowned with the rest of my atties. As nice as the P+ is, nothing else I have looks right on it where as the GS looks like it was made for it.
