My conclusions after unpackaging a new Liquinator, disassembly, cleaning, lubrication with PG, reassembly and filling, soaking for 30 minutesthen vaping for 10 minutes: this is the best juice delivery device I've ever tried.
So far, mind you. So far.
Totally agree and couldn't have said it better. My story goes as follows...
Got mine about 2 weeks ago, and I tried the 1st carto and put some extra juice in the top like the video and it was good but then it quickly went to a constant gurgling, juice in the mouth and it was leaking out of the vent holes on the battery end, so I took out the carto, vaped it dry and tried again...but same thing. So after other people on the forums said to try a different carto I did and to quote Blue, "Wamo", it worked perfect, no flooding nor leaking and worked perfect and has been ever since. I think the issue had to be the carto. I forgot how sometimes you could just get a bad carto out of a bunch and apparently that's what happened. I had another carto just pop all of a sudden when I first tried it using the same voltage, so guess I got lucky and just got some bad cartos mixed in
So far so good, then I moved onto making my own slits in the cartos. Well one carto (with about 15 different slits) later I think I got it down. I still need to perfect my technique a little but hey practice makes perfect or at least I hope. The one I am using now, you can still see the sharpie marks leftover LOL but works perfect.
I tried using a Dremel rated at 13500 RPM's and while it worked it seemed like it was a struggle, so traded and got a 35,000 RPM one and WOW, it takes like 10 seconds to make both sides and cuts like butter. I had to figure out the hard way to make sure while cutting to do it either outside or in a sink, ugh silver shavings everywhere but easy to clean up.
I do have one question for those that are making their own slits.....in the video he explains to use a pic and take out the small leftover metal splinter but sometimes when I am cutting the slits, I don't have any splinters leftover? Is this normal as I have metal dental pic and go around the edges but I don't see anything. I have had some that had very very small splinters but just got a little worried that they are still in there and what would happen vaping while they are in there but then I thought, what can really happen since the vapor is from the juice and I don't think the splinters would ever get through and close enough to the coils but I have no idea.
Thanks for any input and again I have tried a lot of different tanks out there and IMHO this by far is the easiest to use and maintain for regular cartos and all this with excellent and consistent performance with no leaks, well unless you get a faulty carto.
