The i06 Sleeve

[Chingas]

Is there a recommended drip shield for use with the sleeve?

I got an aluminum one from Isacc and it is far too tight on the flanged end.

My sleeve got so stuck inside the shield that I ripped my i06 almost apart trying to get the shield off. Atty still works but it just happened so I'll cross my fingers.

FYI- a great way to get the sleeve unstuck is to stick a stainless carto or atty into the open end of the shield and push the sleeve back out. Easy peasy.

The i06 is a fine atty but if I can't get the leakage under control then it just won't work for me.

I'm happy with an empire shield. I removed the upper oring on it, works well for me. Io6/gv sleeve/empire.

I'll tell ya. This sleeve is the finishing product to the atty. without it, I dot think I'd vape on that atty regardless of quality. Those other sleeves seem to close the draw right up. Solid savior.

Hey Ikenettes ~

I just received a small shipment of Sleeves. I need to go through QC and should have about 15 going up on the site tomorrow @ 12pm PST. These are running right at 28.6mm long. I know a lot of you have been waiting a long time and I apologize for your inconvenience.

My machinist has committed to make a big run in the next two weeks.

Thank you all for your patience.

Again thank you Isaac for all your help !!!

That's good to hear, Wharf. I've been looking forward to trying these out. If I can't get one of the first few, I'll keep an eye out for the upcoming big run.

[Wharf Rat]

Thanks Keith..... and you too Mark

...heck IMHO it is the only way to use an IO6, or 306 for that matter

Woo hoo! Guys, Grateful vaper's io6 sleeve is a very powerful tool for good vaping with our io6 model. It has a precise clearance for the best all around air flow. Other than pyrex, the Sleeve is far superioir than our own drip tips!

Order placed!

I still plug these any chance I get even though I rarely use my UFSs anymore, a great and solid addition to the best atty for the money out there.......

Thank you Rip.... THANKS Isaac !!!!!!

Nice! Small world.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for updates to the sleeves.

I just got two io6's in the mail today. One is bad, but the second is perfect.

If you want, shoot me a PM and I'll send you my email. I've a machine shop two blocks from the house with 6 Swiss turn CNC lathes, bar feeders, twin spindle 7 axis with live tooling and normally only two are running with our failing economy. If you can get me the specs, or a blue print with a min/max quantity I'll get a bid for you if you'd like?

No problem, Issac and I talked about this the other day in fact. He was kinda ...... to just now find out what I have at my disposal
