You likely have, IDK, but have you tried lubing the Pulse 24 AF o-ring(s) with VG? Might help. IDK as I don't have a Pulse 24.
Another thought, but have you considered trying o-rings with a slightly smaller, or slightly larger, cross section (CS)?
Example: Say you have a 1mm CS x 20mm ID o-ring on the Pulse 24. Maybe consider trying a 1.2mm or 1.4mm CS if you need larger. Or try smaller. May help, might not.
The O-Ring Store here in the US has them in tons of different CS's. They're also one of only a few who let you buy in very small quantities at reasonable prices. I've purchased them for pennies each ($0.04 USD). Prices depend on the specific type. Like Buna-N (NBR), FDA Silicone (VMQ) or FKM etc. etc..
Isn't there a similar o-ring company in OZ?

I've found thus assortment handy: 100 PCS Translucent Multi-size Silicone Ring Set for E-cigarette
fasttech used to have a larger set, of mainly larger cs rings, though I don't know if they still have it.

I have the Pulse 22, thoroughly unimpressed with it and the dual spaced hole AFC drives my OCD crazy.
Had to have it after all the hype by the crooked eyed dude in the hat... Serious letdown, I really should have learned my lesson about buying reviewer sponsored/hyped atties.
Now the Pulse squonker is actually decent for what it is.

I agree with you SMT. When I first got my Dead Rabbit 24mm rda, I could not adjust the af because it was so tight. I changed out the o-ring with one that was 3/4 the thickness, and it's beautiful now. Smooth turning, but still snug enough for perfect resistance.
Brilliant. I'll look at alt o rings - thanks @markfm and @ShowMeTwice !
@Rob B. i"ll try it on my Dead Rabbit too. That's another atty with cruddy o ring tolerances out of the box. Shelved mine a long time ago.
That must be a worry for you Eskie. I'm sorry that she seems to have relapsed...presumably there is a chance that her lungs have damage from the first wave. Was she put on a ventilator in the first infection?
I had some damage when I went through the fungal infection of my lungs recently but it seems to have not been permanent.
Hopefully, you can get her a CT scan so that the doctors can see what may be going on. I'll be thinking of you.....
Sending lots of positivity
Right back at you Charlie!Good morning shinies
Ah the weekend is coming. Hope everyone has a good Friday prelude
I learned how to do it last year. Was excited about it for awhile. Went back to watts within a few months. The vape just seemed better once I went back
@Pigs i did say i'm hard on mods.
the mini will only go to 30 watts.good thing i still have a few still in the box.

I tried it for a while with different SS builds but I never found a sweet spot that was better for me than just vaping in wattage mode.
Might give it a go again soon.
I once heard TC described as a solution that doesn't work for a problem that never existed in the first place.
Surely not
That's awesome@Pigs i did say i'm hard on mods.

Good morning Shiny's
Good morning shiners! Thank you all for your kind thoughts. It's been a sorta stressful time. My daughter does have what appears to be a relapse, which isn't "catching it" again, but the same old virus still whacking her around. Fortunately this round isn't as severe as round one was, but it's still knocking her for a loop. So more bed rest, cut back on her work hours at home, and wait it out.
And likes and loves to all as I admit I won't get caught up today.
No, she was never on a ventilator, although she did drop her oxygen saturation low enough for me to get freaked out. She was able to make it through without ending up in the hellhole the hospitals were at that time. There doesn't appear to be any secondary pneumonia so nothing to treat, which is a mixed finding. I"m happy she has no bacterial pneumonia, but if she did, you can treat it, not just be at the mercy of COVID. She has follow up scans today, so that should give a more definitive answer.
As to lung damage, I expect she'll struggle for quite a while before she starts running or hitting the gym. She has asthma which just adds to the complications, but it's been interesting that her asthma never flared up during the acute phase, and while you would expect something like asthma to be a big risk factor, for whatever reason it seems to not be much of an issue for some asthmatics. The pulmonary doctor said he's seen a good number of his asthmatic patients not have not have as bad a course as he would expect. It's just another example, like the rare and severe inflammatory in young children now being seen popping up across the country, and shows how little we still know about this virus.

Good morning Shiny's! Hope everyone is happy, healthy, and safe. Was listening to a song song by Dr Hook this morning, that brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. 23 years sober, but I came so close to living the words in this song. So thankful I ended up where I am instead.
Sometimes I feel guilty, and wonder why did I deserve to make it out of that life, when so many don't. The tears in my eyes when I hear this song, aren't so much tears of happiness for me, but tears of sorrow for the ones who don't make it out, and die in that world.

Good morning everyone! Asking everyone to please pray for Opinionated. She has not posted in the forum since May 1, and the last pm I got from her was last Thur. May 7. We had been pm'ng, and, or emailing pretty much every day up till then. She told me she has been very ill, not from corona, but that she has some very serious health issues that are getting worse, especially this past year. I am worried about her, as she is usually very responsive to our pm's, and just nothing now. I can't share our last pm here, but it was bad, and I'm terribly worried.
Still haven't heard anything from Opinionated. Very worried, and praying really hard for her.
