So NO word on these yet ?? Has anyone actually "let Dan know" they/we are interested in these ?
I hate to PM or email him if others already have & he has just NOT had time to set this up for us...
or changed his mind or something ....?

Guess it has only been 3 days ..:facepalm:
I'm just excited to have one & don't wanna miss the chance to get one @ that price, that discount will buy the Batteryneeded :D

I have not emailed or PM'ed him ... I have been watching the site and this thread. I reply to his post twice but still nothing. Im like you
I'm excited to get one also :) Maybe he forgot or just got busy with other things. But if I see them up i'll PM you if I can figure it out. LOL
never done it before, but i'm sure its not that hard ( I HOPE ) LOL

You must watch repeatedly until the plot's subtext moves to the fore of your viewing experience. By that time you will have memorized many significant lines of dialogue.

lol I watch a ton of movies and have so many that I've watched so many times that this is the case with them. But since I don't own this one, it hasn't been one of them. But I've often thought I need to get it, because it gets quoted so often!!

You probably figured it out already, but to pm.....just go to the top of a screen, under the big ECF logo is a light blue band with writing on it, and under that is a dark blue band. On the dark blue band the second item is private messages. From there you'll see how to do it. You can copy and paste the person's username into a new message, or just start typing their name, and the forum will auto populate all screen names that start with that, then narrow the list down the more you type. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. :)

I am getting a lot of dry hits with the Apollo's, and muted flavor. Is there something I am doing wrong? Or do they take a while to break in? Thanks in advance. :)

That was pretty common with the Apollo Tanks. Gurgling and leaking also. Some people had success with them. I wasn't one of them though.

Try unscrewing the top cap and reaching in with a pair of tweezers or 'stats and wiggle the silicone cap up a little bit. Sometimes they're pressed on too far and pinch the wick - that can cause the dry hit issue you're describing.

I always disassemble them first thing. I rinse them off to remove any "manufacturing oil/debris", reseat the stem and then check that the top silicone cap/gasket isn't pushed down too far.

It is easy to accidentally over fill, some people stop filling as soon as the juice rises above the viewing window. Yeah, you give up a about a mil capacity, but that can help with the gurgling & leaking.

p.s. I haven't had any issues w/ the 6ml tanks, but the 10ml is acting a little wonky. I'll be pulling it apart this weekend & checking silicone cap. I may have to 'notch' it, or reseat it to achieve better sealing &/or clearance - not sure which is the issue yet. :D

Debadoo :)
Its always nice to find someone who can give good visual directions with there words.
Your awsome thanks so much :)

Glad it made sense. A lot of times I don't!

also, if you haven't already, pull out the drip tip, and make sure there is no condensation in there. Same with the vivis, once or twice a day I have to stick the point of a tissue down in there, and then sorta til the tank toward the tissue, to get juice/condensation out that builds up under the ledge and in that area under the drip tip. That will stop gurgling and get the flavor back up to speed. For me, these were ok.....but the vivis are way better (for my tastes)

Thanks, I got them working better by taking a little of the liquid out, making sure that cup wasn't too tight over the wick and blowing through them then cleaning the connection and the drip tip parts. Thanks for your help guys. :D
