Doug, I want to kick some extra for shipping, is the same paypal address alright to use?
i still have that thingThis is turning out much better than the last pre-order we were both on.
Being in Canada you will all get yours before I do anyways, so take comfort in that.
DITTO ... Make that two of us! We are near the end of the list! BUT ... We're ON the list!! ;-) WoooooHooooo!
ordered dec 20th, so hoping this week! thats what we can do, if you get ur tracking #, say so and what day you ordered, so the rest of us have a vague idea when to expect ours!
Pretty much the same here, but I did have one issue worth describing so folks know what to do if it happens to them.
A few weeks into BB ownership mine developed what seemed like relatively heavy condensation of liquid in the tank well. Never so much that it got into the battery well or electronics area, but some under and behind the tank -- the equivalent of several drop's worth of liquid, enough so the tank had to be pried out because of the bit of suction created between the back of the tank and the tank well. After talking to DD about it, Precious made it's way to the Master for an investigation, and we were without Precious for two weekses while the Master took care of her. . . .
The major cause was that the
Another possible contributing factor may have included not always pushing the face of the tank a few times after filling to ensure the nitrile ball is fully seated, which would directly lead to leaking. If the ball isn't seated the normal bit of vacuum in the tank would not keep the liquid from seeping out. However, DD did experience the leaking problem before discovering the bad gasket, and it's not likely that he'd forget his own instructions ... Probably.
In any event, the good news is that every BB should ship with a spare silicon gasket or two (along with other spare pieces-parts) and it is very easy to replace. Pop it out with a toothpick, drop a new one in, seat it with a finger tip and you're good to go. But if you check for sharp carto bottoms and don't crank down too hard on the brass ring you probably won't ever run into this.
So now you know ... and knowing, is half the battle. GO JOE!

Vapian,
Thanks for the heads up. So in summary to help prevent leaks:
1. Check bottom of carto for sharp bottom. If it does correct the sharpness so it won't cut into gasket.
2. Don't crank down too hard on the brass ring so it won't overly stress the gasket
and
3. Push face of tank down a few times after filling to ensure the nitrile ball is fully seated
I had to type it down in a concise manner for my aged mind. It's tough getting old! lol
Thanks again

Sorry; I'm not especially noted for brevity.
You have summed it up nicely. The brass ring only needs to be snugged up enough to provide a seal and complete the electrical path for the cartomizer.
Another tip! If you find your self without the tool to remove the brass ring on top (a quarter!) I just take off the front plate and use a corner of it. It fits into the two grooves perfectly and doesn't touch the carto filler or anything.
Oh, and it also hasn't caused any marks on the carbon fiber or aluminum of the plate either. But at this point, mine has enough dings and scuffs on it that I don't care that much even if it did.
