I haven't been to a concert since John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot & Chicago Transit Authority became just Chicago. Those where the days. Bell bottoms, paisley shirts, zippo lighters & Pall Malls. Look at how far things have progressed.

Now it is suspenders, sweat stained t-shirts, Darwins & VPX tanks. Ahhhhh, life is good!

Dripping..... hmmmm great flavor but what a pain in the ...! Not sure its for me. Have 3 atties though, 2.2 2.5 and 3.5. All a little different which is good. Might stick to cartos though. So whats everyones favorite carts to use on the darwin? Still wiating for drews package, will be here for sure tom. Excited to try out the vpx tank. I like the dual coil clears from drew but i litterally messed both of them up after 24-48 hrs each. Disected them to see how they work. Looks like i burnt the crap out of the filler on both of them! I will have 2 more tom and will stick to a much lower wattage on them. If that doesnt work out i probably wont be buying them again. Was hoping for a week each on them maybe im dreaming! Also wondering about these new cartotanks he will have, maybe its the solution to keeping carts constantly wet so the filler does not burn.

Also ikvs atties hold at least 5 drops which is great compared to this other brand my buddy at work gave me. Any more than 2 it leaks. One of the reasons i was turned off from ikvs atties was i do not nave a drip tip that fits. The whistle tips are wierd and so thin that they get very warm which i dont like. I found a great solution though as i was looking at a pen! I took the rubber finger grip off of it and cut it to an inch it fits perfectly snug over the atty. I then took the tip from the clearomizer and it pops perfectly into that! Haha this should def get me by till tom. Its also blue and looks nice on the darwin.

Im interested too.. I'm always on the market for a sexy 306!

For some reason the IKV 306 is giving me a very "airy" draw and if I take a hit that is longer than 4 seconds or so, it gives a bad taste and a bit of an "after-sizzle" :lol: I dewicked and bebridged it though and I think it was just a fluke. One of the pieces of wick that I pulled out was charred. I have another new one but I don't wanna use it yet. For now I am enjoying the custom one and the debridged/dewicked one :D

Did you take the wick that runs inside the coils out????

I sure hope not but it is possible. It is working well though :confused:

Edit: I just looked at it under the light and I think I may have taken the whole thing out... oops

itll still work, but you'll have to drip more often... to keep the "cup" full.

In the future, leave that part alone... and a little bit sticking out on either side. I just remove the part under the bridge that blocks my view of the coils.

Will do. I think it all just decided to come out when I gave it a tug. I will need to read more about it because I see people saying to debridge and dewick and then I see other people who are saying just to dewick it and leave the bridge. When I did the first try on the LR atomizer, it worked fine. It just seems hard to leave a piece in the coil because it seems like the wick is 1 piece. I should probably try it with a dry atty.

I leave the bridge. When I de-wick, I push a toothpick or something in, then pry the wick out from under the bridge on both sides (pulling from the top). Then I have the wick basically laying flat... sticking out each side of the atty, running through the coils... then I cut it on either side. Leaves the coil through the wick intact with a little sticking out each side. Just enough so I can see down in the atty. Pull as much out from under the bridge as you can. Make sense?

I think I do. Do you leave the metal mesh thingie on there too?
