I have the one from gvapers. They did advertise 1:1and it isn't. Plastic tank leaks like a b $!##. The first base wouldn't fire so they sent me a new base and post screws. It fires now but leaks. Wish I can find a fix, leaks ftom air hole and the tank.

Put the o rings into the tank. The big clear ones. See my posts from yesterday.

Your wicking isn't right. Cut it just a tiny bit past the base so a little is in the side wick channels.

I agree It's quite a nice atty If it works I'm loving mine :)
I'm in Canada and they don't ship here or I would chance another for that price :)

If you want it that badly I'll repost it to you if you pay the shipping :). I do this all the time for my Canadian motorcycle friends. Just bear in mind shipping even from the US to Canada costs more than it should, but this could go in a padded envelope.

This is what I'm seeing so far on the kingtu compared to the Ivogo:

1. Kingtu has a glass tank and the o rings are in. Ivogo has plastic and I had to put in the o rings.

2. Kingtu's deck is sturdy. Ivogo's is wobbly.

3. Kingtu's posts are sturdy. I had to use vise grips to tighten the positive post of the Ivogo.

4. Anondizing looks better on the Kingtu.

Now to build it and see what happens.

After swearing off any more involvement with my Ivogo SqR, I couldn't resist its demonic hold over me. Decided to put the replacement 510 pin from Focal in it, double o-ringed and... it's been working like a champ for a couple of days. I'm sure it will go schizo on me again but, man, when this thing works it is hard to put down.

That o-ring up there only seems impossible to fit in if there's already one in there. That was the mistake I made, and ended up cussing at it for about an hour. They're really hard to see or feel. Why they didn't just put red ones in there...:grr: All I really needed to do was just push the insert a little farther in and twist it around in there to make sure the o-rings were properly seated, instead of messing around with the o-ring that I thought was missing.

One way to see where the leak is is to fill the tank with water and leave it upside down for a few minutes. If it's leaking from the triangles, then you'd know for sure that it's the tank o-rings. You'd even be able to tell if it's the top one or bottom one. Another place it could leak at is where the chimney screws into the top cap. Then it would leak at the drip tip hole. I put teflon tape on the chimney threads on mine.

This was very helpful information and I'll test this when I get home. If there were just a way for me to get the glass tank out I'd know if there were any orings in there. I can't feel or see them either but they could be in there.
 
Hello
