Sparkplug .........

[JimmyJet]

It is working well, thanks for asking. There is a small gap but not too bad. I am giving this to my mom to try out and hoping that it works for her but don't have my hopes up too high. I think a part of her just does not want to give up the cigs :-(
If she does end up using it I will get the washer. Thanks for the tip

The "washer" that most people use is actually a rubber o-ring that is available at Home Depot or similar store. Plumbing department at my store.

Some use a size 10, I use a size 41. Depends on which battery you are using. Might be a little trial & error so I suggest taking the sparkplug with you and trying different sized o-rings at the store.

Good luck, JJ

Yes mine does that too. But only when I'm using the native 801 atty.

just tried the 801 atty for the first time today - no vapor coming out on the bottom

 

[lilith79]

Yeah, mine does that with the native. I don't have an adapter yet to use it with 510's.

Because curiosity got the better of me, I put together the thermo with the batts that come with it, just so I could see why it's a bad idea. Yeah, without the button depressed the atty heats up very quickly. I took that apart real fast-lesson learned! Yes, I realize it was a stupid thing to do and I will never do that again.

hi, sky - any news on your end?

Hi tib. James is sending a different one. I am sooooooooo hoping it works out. Otherwise..........it must mean it's me! LOL

I'm happy to hear it is working salemgold and I am definitely hoping your mother takes to it.

 

[salemgold]

Thanks. My mom looked at it and is not interested. I kind of knew that would be the case. She is somewhat using a Bloog right now and that thing puts out some vapor with the Bloog cartos. I think that after 63 years of smoking she just needs the look and feel of a real cig. She has very diminished lung capacity so I was hoping that the size of the SP2 would suit her better but it did not.

hi, sky - i hope your replacement will work!

in the meanwhile, i decided to spruce up my sp2:

 

[keyzygirl]

Very very pretty!!

 

[tiburonfirst]

thanks, keyz! now looking for just the right drip tip, lol

 

[librarising]

Tib, your SP2 is so pretty!

 

[tiburonfirst]

looks even better in person, lol - only got an easyshare camera, not the best for close-ups

btw this is with the 801 atty

hi, sky - any news on your end?

Hi tib, I came on to update and I am happy to say it is much, much better! Now I am liking it and will get the end caps for the thermo. I have to say that James was very helpful throughout this whole thing.

Yours looks really cool. I like it.

She has very diminished lung capacity so I was hoping that the size of the SP2 would suit her better but it did not.

Hopefully as time goes on she will find herself using at least the Bloog more and more. At some point she might even want to try the SP2 again. Keeping my fingers crossed for you both.

[skydragon]

I see that is all goofed up. Why does it do that? Rhetorical question.

 

[tiburonfirst]

so glad that you had a better outcome with the replacement. out of curiosity, can you ask james what was wrong with your first order once he checks it out? would be good to know .......

Just a heads up...I got some Noalox because I was still having some issues with the button firing {was honestly getting ready to throw the things across the room}....OMG what a difference!! I put it on the pins in the bottom & top caps and on the tube threading(female parts I believe). It's like night and day!! I love them now

Just ordered inequality last night. At 35 bucks including shipping I had to give it a try.

What "pins" are you referring to?

 

[cricket1176]

The brass(copper?) part on the top piece and the actual button on the bottom part. On the button you just pop off the white ring, take out the spring and add a little bit of the Noalox with a q-tip. I think what was happening was that the metal was catching or something.

After messing with it for over a week I'm just tickled that it's working better....I'm actually ordering a set for hubby

What "pins" are you referring to?

 

[firhill]

What "pins" are you referring to?

You know........The (top) one that falls out and rolls under the couch every time you change the battery.

 

[Vaapette]

Gotcha. I lubed the whole thing up last night. It does work better!

My button was so finicky before. Now it works great. Very smooth.
