FYI:

I am looking for an electrical engineer, preferably American, that can help me get a chipset designed and potentially manufactured in bulk. A voltage regulator, something small.

if you know some one or 'are' some one, there might be a lil prize finders fee in it for you if I end up using that person ;)

Send them my way or shoot me contact information. you can PM for details.

Lance, question on the AGR V2. is the skirt separate from the carto base? Or are there air vents between the skirt and the carto base? I fill up before bed and have noticed a less full tank in the morning but it hasnt been flooded. I have been making jokes about midnight vape gremlins but then today I flooded it during filling and when I went to blow it out, juice came from the upper skirt area between skirt and base. I cant see any cracks. I havent dropped it so I am hoping it is two piece and I just need to reseal it. juice is not coming from the bottom tank seal and when I put my finger over the 501 connector and blow through the drip tip air escapes from the suspected area.I figured I would ask before trying to take it apart and breaking it further. Worse comes to worse I will use a wrap of electrical tape to seal it

The tank has the following parts from top to bottom.

Lid+Fill screw
Tank
Bottom cap
Kilt/510 Adapter.

The 510 adapter and kilted section are 1 piece and 'lock' the carto in place. Air flows in from multiple places, the bottom under the kilt and through the groves in the top of the kilted section. (It's not a skirt :p)

also, I'm debating dropping vivi novas from my store. Would love some feedback on what to replace them with.

I'm growing less and less enchanted with them, I get more complaints about them than any other and I've talked to multiple vendors and it seems to be the same across the board. Regardless of manufacturer they just seem to be inconsistant and problematic. If you get one that works right it works like a champ but there are a lot of fiddly bits on many of them that require tweaking to make em work right.

I've had a few right out of the box that worked like a champ but a few that were sorta crappy and it's starting to fall below my standards threshold.

Hey Lance, I think you should replace it with the Kanger Protank for sure. You've probably already heard of it, but Vapor Joes has a nice blurb about it with a video from Lord Davon:

There's also talk of a revision that allows any drip tip to be used with it.

mesh/wire will be back in stock hopefully tomorrow night. I'm finishing processing it tomorrow morning I believe (depends on contractors schedule at my old house :p)

Twists are a while out unfortunately, the supplier had a backlog of orders from before the holiday so I'm not getting mine shipped until next week most likely.

Aga-T+, AGR, IGO-L, and IGO-S are all shipping hopefully this week so sometime next week they should be back in stock.

The twist kits are changing when the twists show up to the above mentioned details :)

More updates as I get tracking info.

Oh, CCTS will be back in stock soon as well, when I put them up I'll be offering them, the Kick from evolv, and the extension sections so you can kick it with an 18650.
