Thanks, I've posted in the help section but no fix yet, please forgive me if I end up asking some well covered things once I get mine. On that note, my package went to the wrong base, :facepalm: Here's hoping it doesn't take too much longer to get here.

There's plenty of folks here to help with it (the Term), just ask

Ordered mine on the 10th too, and it came from Germany :p

My SG-1 kit is also there with it , so I get to rock my term c in hybrid mode on my Segelei 13.
 
This thread makes me so happy, and so sad. 315 pages of information/guestimation/knowledgation, and not enough time to read it. I wish there were a search function that you could use on this thread. Or maybe a Sticky of a post with known issues and known fixes?iunno im reaching and this was the only way to not start another thread. Accidently unscrewed the center pin from the ceramic cup on my v2, how far does it go back on? Took it apart kuz it was leaking out of the connection strait onto mod, known issue? fixes? It was also getting flooded with the juice control COMPLETELY shut down, known issue? fixes? Lastly, what kind of coil to get plumes upon plumes of FAT clouds. (only have 32g kanth 2mm silica and some no res at my disposal.) Any question answered is much appreciated, any question unanswered is understood, I already feel like a bother to begin with! Best wishes, and happy vaping.

edited to say its being used on a VV/VW device. Had the term for only a couple days and I though I read enough, obviously not!

o ya one last thing, air flow. The draw on my protank is beaut9ful to me, the term seems so tight, and the pitiful clouds look like the drraw feel. Solutions? Or its just not for me and sell it? Lol (lol kuz hopefully that isn't the solution)

+1 on the leaking question. First two builds worked perfectly, but the third time is definitely not the charm. Juice is literally dripping out of the battery connection. Different juice this time, but no thinner than normal; essentially the same wick and coil set up - 32g twisted Kanthal and cotton yarn - except I did not use a short wick across the top this time. I assume that would have more effect on wicking than on leaking, but if I knew such things, I'd be answering this question instead of repeating it. One thing I noticed is that once or twice, an air bubble escaped out of the connection between drips. That makes me think I did something to screw up the air pressure in the tank, but don't know what. If anybody got a quick fix or a suggestion, I would be grateful to hear it.

It has to be a vacuum issue. I'm assuming you've double checked your top o rings to make sure they're sealing properly and they're aligned right etc ?

Thanks for the tips - I pulled all the juice out with a syringe, re-seated the ceramic housing and screwed it down tight into the base. Once refilled, I put the top cap on loosely, then tilted it to get an air bubble at the bottom of the tank before screwing the top cap down tight - awesomeness once again :)

Stupid air bubble. Hence why I took the base of the mouth piece to a grinding wheel, then a wire brush wheel to get all that dumb knurling off. Then I polished it going from 400/600/800/1200 grit and the bubbles slide right past now even with 100% VG.

Due to the 'knurling' on the Term/term-c juice-valve base, shaking is no more effective than prayer.

I love knurling, but they chose the wrong area to pretend to treat, and the thick plastic tank is quite close to that 'knurling'.. I've turned my valve on a hone, but alas - I must do more. I have managed to 'burp' the bubble with a syringe-needle that is too thin for vg and was idle: just poking it between plastic and SS seems to rock one or the other enough for the bubble to escape.
