I had my finger hovering over the add to cart button today. Here's the thing though. I spent nearly 100$ on the Dripper Pro and I kind of dont want it just sitting there not on a mod lol. But then I kind of want to put my killer 705 tank setup on my provari when it all gets here soon
holy first world problems eh.
Yeah, no kidding. I couldn't make up my mind whether to order a black or another silver mini, this morning. Then, for the heck of it, I also ordered a sigelei Zmax V3 tele flat top.

That does seem to be a problem, mine took some real heft to separate once, cannot think of a way to stop it happening. I was all about telling people how good it was but im now thinking a little differently.
any advice? specific tools to use? i'm so concerned about ruining the threading...
I used a circular key ring on the inside, there are a couple of straight/flat edges to get purchase, that way you avoid the threading, be careful not to hold the collar too tight you may bend it out of shape. hope you get it "unstuck".
I wonder something , and this just a theory, repeat just a theory. When a jar lid is stuck on you can run the cap under really hot water and the metal expands a super tiny amount but its usually enough to get the lid off. I wonder if maybe you could torch the area that screws on to the bottom threads and give yourself a tiny bit of play.
Hot water may work but there is an o-ring fitted so torching might be out. Tried neither as the key ring works for me, its happened twice now. When, and not, if it happens again (which it surely will) i shall give it the hot water treatment as i like the idea chadsmo.
Yeah, I'm pretty on the fence myself. I might just get a bOd kit for my evic to continue giving the Greeks all my damn money lol. I do like the functionality of the evic, it just feels so cheap and light in your hand after owning a Provari. I think even my provari mini is heavier.
I do not have my part, yet. I am still waiting for it to arrive. Can the the o-ring be removed? If so, then perhaps, a light heat source might be applied to the outer piece, no?

It seems a little tight and i dare not remove it in case i foul up, maybe someone with abit more nerve will try it

Hmm . . . I had an e-mail conversation with Konstantinos, earlier this morning. Next opportunity I have, I'll ask him about this.

I've got a pair of them and like them allot.. (although one is currently on my Legacy).. they can be a little "fiddly" until I learned how to get them set up properly.. For me..it was.. separate the two pieces.. Screw in the threaded piece..by hand and securely.. I pushed the pin down a little..and then screw on the outer piece on.. The key was to NOT over-tighten either piece.. when I first got it I was cranking down too hard on them and when ever I would adjust the air-flow control the whole unit would move.. I know I am good when I can move the air-flow around freely with out the center piece moving..been working great
My Hippo was just delivered a few moments ago.
Upon installing it, the outer ring did get stuck to the inner piece and they both unscrewed off of my provari in one piece. I took a pair of needle nose pliers and separated them. Then I reinstalled the center piece and applied a very small amount of e juice to the o-ring and to the threads of the post. Then I screwed down the outer ring. That seemed to solve the problem.
I love the look of the brushed SS Twins and the Hippo at the opposite ends of my mini. Now, I can head back to Vegas a happy camper.
