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

Yup... just remove part of the wick. The problem with the wick is that the vapor has to go thru it... so it blocks flavor/vapor. But the wick through the coil gets saturated w/ juice to vape, so it serves a pretty crucial purpose. Figured this out throught experience... ruined a few before I figured it out!

Only other thing I do is (if a non-cisco) rinse with hot water, blow it out, rinse again, blow it out (thoroughly, you get the idea)... to get rid of the primer. That stuff is gross! Then, let it sit overnight to dry (on a fan if you can) or, if you need it immediately, aim a blow dryer down the atty for 8-10 minutes... then it's perfectly dry and ready to go

Sounds good. I am going to try it later on another atomizer that I can afford to mess with. At least I got the first one right and almost the second :D

Alight Guys -

I need a 510 to 510 L type addapter. actually 2 of them. Im trying to get the arm away from the darwin so it can still fold in with bigger Carts/Tanks on it. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a 510 to 510 adapter on my Darwin AND a all black 3 inch gooseneck and I never take it off,, because when the arm is down and the darwin is off, I just bend the gooseneck and my atty/tank whatever is away from the darwin, works very well in my opinion

You can do it... I promise!! Just pry it out and cut it (I use a razor blade)...

Then rinse it and you're good to go...

PS... people think a dry hit is burning wick, but you cant burn that wick... it's silica rope... if you get burned-tasting hits, you're inhaling metal... or your wattage is too high and you're inhaling combusted e-juice!

Yea, I could tell it wasn't "burnt" but it did have a black spot on it :ohmy: I just messed with another random LR atty and I am not sure what brand it was but I pushed the wick out and it was only sitting on one side of the bridge so I guess that it was already out of the coil somehow :confused: I will do it the correct way with a new atty when I have enough of them to risk losing one.

Yeh, play around a bit and see what you like. Some people dont de-wick at all and dont have problems... but then again, some people throw atties away after a month, too : ) lol

I do the same thing, only my goose is like 6". Works like a charm! On or off, there's no chance of spilling or leaking anywhere the Darwin!

OK, I depend on my fellow Darwinians to stop me from spending too much! I just put in 3 orders. I'm ashamed of you all!

Right after I read this I had the idea to check if the 510-510 adapter was back in stock and it is. I guess that makes us even :p I will be at 2 orders now.

OK Krisb, we are here for you, man. Please, please, please, when you get your orders? DO NOT OPEN THEM! This is a matter of utmost importance. I will send you 3 self-addressed mailers, as you get each order, please send them to me. I will describe them to the Darwinians, and I will test your gear. Hopefully, if we all work together, we can help you through this difficult time...;)

Ah, who am I kidding, I just got a Boge Rev 2.x today. It's cute, I need a backup, it was cheap. It has batts/charger/5 cartos, thx Drew.

It is my first bottom feeder. So far, I like the Liquinator thing on it until I get the hang of squonking it properly. It is kinda fun to blow vape rings out of the drip tip, though. Back down to vaping 8ml, so I don't OD.

Order away people. If we do not order how will Drew be able to fund his fishing trips :). Plus think of all the cool stuff you get to collect and post about. Happy vapes.

BTW - I lost track and noticed my counter hit the 1 year mark. Thanks to Drew, the Darwin, my DIY collection and an assortment of other cool MODs. Now what to buy for hitting that milestone.

I could never burden our friendship in such a selfish manner, Nano. I certainly appreciate the offer, but, alas, I will suffer the consequences of my actions alone. You are my rock!

Got one close to two weeks ago as well.

Just drained my first 10ml through the feeder on a 1.7 Ohm 510 atty (and half that again without using the feeder).

I haven't messed with trying to feed cartos, but with the atty and an all PG liquid it has worked really well for me. I'd just flip it upside down, give the bottle a squeeze, and hold it 4 or 5 seconds, flip it, and vape on :) Pretty soon I'm planning to see if I can put a tube in the bottle just out of curiousity. Also itching to try one of the 801 on 510 thread atty variants at some point to see how those feed.

Great battery life on these! Even with the LR atties.
