chopper's a atom-holic! I don't think he pays attention to the time or day...someone needs to take him fishing.
I've noticed too. I figure everyone is either vaping like the dickens on their atom or defcon, or waiting on pins and needles to see if they are among the fortunate to receive their tracking info.

well I already know I won't be getting my tracking info yet, but ya know that's cool, I know others have been waiting longer.
I got my Atom today and it is beautiful.....but......I'm having a few issues. It almost seems like the mesh doesn't want to wick very well. I'm using a 50/50 juice and i keep getting dry hits. I almost hate to pull the wick out because its wound perfectly. I have taken the cap off and when I hit the button it will sizzle for a sec or two then all the coils will glow red. I even tried to prime the wick a bit but it doesn't stay that way. Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong or not. I also initially was receiving some E1 errors on my Pro-Vari but that seems to have stopped.
Any suggestions.

I had the same problem with mine, but it was just that Chaopper wicked it with 400 mesh. I also vape thicker 50/50 juice, and it is way good re-wicked with 325. The errors would be shorts though. Try holding the whole setup almost upside down while firing until you actually get a drop of juice to fall - try it a couple times. This will season the wick a bit better. But, sense it sounds like you would be better of changing to rougher mesh...

It sounds like a wicking issue for sure.I hate to suggest this as it will mean having to take the wick out.First try this,take a small paper clip and straighten it out.Then insert it through the wick where there is a tiny hole on the top of it.Run the paper clip all the way down the full length of the wick until it comes out of the bottom.There should only be a a little resistance.If you have to struggle and get the paper clip down into the wick then its for sure a wick issue.You may have to pull the wick out and unroll it until you can insert the paper clip and then re roll the wick around the paper clip.Also make sure the bottom of the wick is not touching the bottom of the tank.The top of the wick could be pinched closed and by inserting the paper clip that will open it up.The wick will take a good day or two of breaking in to get a very good wicking wick.Also make sure your ProVari is set to about 3.3 for a while until the wick gets broken in some so you won't keep getting those dry hits.Then go to 3.7 and after about a day go to 4.0.These are just things I've found that helps me.Let me know if this helps or not my friend.
Yes 325 is what I'm using now.I could have thrown a 400 wick on there since I kept both the same type in the same place and may not have paid attention when I grabbed it.If that is the case I do apologize for my error and you having a time with it now.

I'm okay just really tired.I've been working really long hours the last 3 days.How are you this fine night?
Good to see you choppper, I was worried that you had worked yourself to death. Please take care of yourself. While we may have trouble with the virtue of patience, we all have deep respect and affection for you and your plights (working towards your disability decision, major storms followed by heat waves, constant beeping of your smoke detector, etc). Take care.
