I tried looking for instructions on how to take off/clean the tank on the Atom bomb, and probably missed it. Kinda want to put on a polypro tank on it. Is the tank hard to take off? Any instructions/things to watch out for? Thanks alot!

Remove the wick first and try to gently pull up on the tank.Be very careful when taking the tank off.For some reason its like they get vapor locked after the first tank.That is not my doing I guess its just something that happens naturally.

Grrr.... I'm still not getting this thing right, but I think I figured it out... If I wrap the coil, and keep all of the wraps as close to the base as possible, it seems to start working... Apparently even 400 Mesh has trouble wicking too high.

I hate hearing this as I try to make them trouble free or at least major trouble free.I will send you a new one minus the top cap.Sorry for the hassle you are having.

Thank you very much! It's literally driving me crazy LOL. I mean, almost all genny's have the same design. This is my third genny, and it's just so unnerving that I can't make it work on this one...

NOW THRU SUNDAY AT MIDNIGHT IF YOU PURCHASE EITHER A GRIPPER KIT OR A VMAX KIT AND OR ATOM BOMB, YOU WILL GET A 20ML BOTTLE OF JUICE OF YOUR CHOICE FREE. When purchasing, just indicate in your comments box which juice you would like and the ratio.

Cool Chopper I think i need another AB anyway, gotta stock pile for the holidays.

I got my Atom Bomb in the mail today. I have been trying to break it in, about 1/2 a tank so far. Still pretty harsh and metalic taste. gets worse if I go over 3.3v on provari. Unuseable on the vmax so far ( way too harsh @ 3v ). The coil that Chopper made measures 1.7 ohms and is getting a small hot spot near the bottom next to the neg post if I dont keep the wick real wet. The taste is getting better as it breaks in more. I am betting that after a tank it will be right where I want it.

When I make a coil for this I wil try to get a few more wraps in and try to get 2.5- 3 ohms so I can use it on the vmax. The draw is much tighter than I was expecting. I may open up the air hole later. No leaks at all. The vapor production is awesome. Great product. Great price.

The voltage calibration on the vmax seems way off. when set to 3v it behaves more like 4.5-5v. I am using a vivi nova @ 2.8 ohms and have it set to 3.1v. I also cant seem to get the menu function 5 to work ( check ohms ). Also be sure to add the battery spacers if you order the vmax kit as they dont come with the charger or you wont be able to charge up your new batteries. I will have to play with the vmax for awhile longer before i have an opinion on it but first impressions are ok, not great. I got it as a spare to keep around the house.

Just want to say thank you to Chopper once again. Great customer service, fast shipping, low prices, cool products.

Yes the wick will get better as you use it.Its best to use at the lowest setting for the break in period.I use mine on my Vmax as you can see in my videos and its great on it.I thought I threw in two extra spacers in the charger box for you.I had two Vmax kits go out that day and it may have been the other order that got them.If you don't have any let me know and I will send you two more,no problem.When you get to setting 5 on the Vmax wait about 2 seconds then push the button until dA shows and that will tell you your ohms.Two spacers should have already been in the charger box without the 2 extra.Just PM me if you got any at all and if not I will get you taken care of.
