    He was named charger, because I would love to have a dodge charger, and I already have a dog named Dodge, so now when I need to call them in, I call out 'Dodge Charger' so it will be constant reminder to my wife on what car I want next :lol:

    Can't believe the wife went with the name, but she did :w00t:

    Do I have to wash out my new tanks before using them for first time/¡

    Yes. Take it apart, put all the parts in a bowl with warm water and a few drops of Dawn, let it soak for a bit, wash gently, rinse and air dry. I use a fine-mesh sieve to rinse the parts--some are tiny and may go down the drain, so to speak. I always lubricate every o-ring (VG is good is perfect) before putting the tank together.

    OK joy & excitement over new tank arrivals quickly turn to frustration as I tried to disassemble Nautilus Mini to wash it, I cant remove the top! So over an hr later I take the ZLIDE out to look at it and on its top there us this tiny screw hanging half out! :-x And wondering WTH! Is Going On!

    Use rubber gloves to unscrew stuck metal parts. I haven't' noticed any screws hanging anywhere on my Zlides...

    Watch YouTube videos. Here's Zlide:

    Well, I had believed I would share my 2 Billet Boxes soon, but I won a pair of custom doors so now waiting on them. May be a few weeks.

    On another note, rant really since I can't really share elsewhere. I've had enough of the Billet after market. If you want to spend time banging your head, or hitting F5 over and over for drops, paying twice RRP for nearly everything, then buy a Billet. To date the only place I can say buying was a breeze were the 2 purchases I made from ECF. Unfortunately not a lot here to buy BB.
    Lottery saw a pair of inners released this week for $110 being sold for $180. 3 days after release. Why? I don't think people want to pay it, but they will.
    Right now waiting on someone to replace a part in their CNC, and still don't know if I've even placed an order, have an item 3 weeks over due and no idea what's going on with it.
    Meh. Love both Billets but about done unless I can add to cart.
    Peace.

    Appreciate you all. Found an old Nautilus Help Thread plus your posts. Got it all apart. Wrapped the glass sleeve in tissue place it safely in the box. Dont look like top Dome comes off? Diagram us Microscopic. This a Bottom Fill? Compared to protank2 & its minis - Nautilus is awkward. I filled up my old Protank 2 & leaving this alone for now. Thanks To Everyone

    Quiki Video New Tank Clean, ATTN. Especially to "Dry Burning Wick"?
    What about old gunked PT2 minis took me a week an a 'small anvel vice' to get the metal bases apart. Peeps say use vodka to clean, hell I might just drink the vodka & forget the Vape
    3 Ways to Clean a Vape Tank - wikiHow

    I don't use vodka to clean tanks. I use Isopropyl alcohol to clean battery contacts (tanks, mods, chargers). You can't dry burn wicks--drop-in coils can be rinsed under running water a few times (you may try a soak in Everclear and a rinse), but they are disposable. Once your coil is all gunked up, toss it.

    Shattered my first tank today, and of course it was one for which I have no spares. No matter: it pushed me to order some damn spares. I imagine they'll make it through customs.

    Sorry, Zaz. Glad you've been able to find replacement parts, though.

    I like glass but I'm heavy on tanks as well. Shattered all my glass for the Zeus single and dual and will wait for next week to replace. Apparently our lockdown was lifted to level two so parts will be a little easier to access.

    I thought I spotted a dog or at least part of a dog in the odd pic you've posted. Now I'll be on the lookout for two :thumbs:

    What are you putting on the Odin?
