The i06 Sleeve

[mwa102464]

The sleeve is working great Warf, but I'm not sure why x Greg x or anyone needs and O-Ring, I've got my sleeve in an Empire Drip shield and have no issue with this. Can someone enlighten me here on this oring thing please ?

Well, I'm a special kind of stupid. LOL
Received my two yesterday. I like the 306, just love the i06.
Tried to punch one to either attempt use in a tank or use as a top feeder with my GLV.
Smushed it beyond use, had to toss it.

Put my last i06 in the second one and tried a few tanks, no go.
Put a 510-510 extender on, and it looked like it would be long enough with the extender.
My reasoning, the small space where the sleeve doesn't go all the way down, may just give it just enough "air" to pull juice up to the atty for tank use.
Wouldn't even go in my tanks, but, with my VPX, it slid right in, no problem.

I was excited! Until I found that there wasn't enough air, no draw at all, so that "space" must have been right inside the bottom cap. Attempted to take the whole thing apart and chalk it up to a fail.
Bigger fail, I couldn't get the top back off. Overnight in the freezer, the atty came right out, but the sleeve and the VPX top cap are a permanent pair.

So... I'm out both sleeves, and my only purple VPX.
I guess the sleeve is usable as is, but it will sure look funny with that top cap hanging on it. hahahaha

I think I'll just go back to bed now.

Take your hairdryer and heat this up with it, once if reaches a certain temp the heat will expand this set up and it will pull right apart.

That's a good question mwa, I had found a o-ring that was a little thinner but I just tried my DS with the stock o=ring and used a touch of juice and it slid right in

Glad you're diggin' it....... thanks !!!

My buddy Wharf sent me one of his fantastic I06 sleeves and it arrived today. I can't wait to try this baby out. Thank you Wharf, Your a good man.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Your are most welcome Buddy.... I hope you enjoy it

 

[wigglr]

I'm certainly enjoying mine. These are a MUST for any io6 lover

 

[Wharf Rat]

I'm pretty sure my new sleeve will arrive today

I got a shield yesterday, it fits nicely over the 901/510 sealed adapter, but my current sleeves are punched, which messes up the airflow (too lazy to pull the tube off the VVPV adapter ).

 

[Wharf Rat]

Wow Mark shows out for delivery, two days Cali to NY

 

[markfm]

Ordered a few more to play with, instant receipt again. Wow, you must have them couriered cross country on a Concorde

(These are key items for those of us using a vvpv, and I plan to use one on a bottom feeder with an ss catch cup - should look good with a shortie ss drip tip)

Thanks!

Noobie when it comes to dripping if I get an io6 from iken and sleeve from warf do I still need a drip shield?

 

[markfm]

. The sleeve is really an adapter to get you to a standard 510/901 drip tip connection. You can still get leaks out the air holes on the side of the 510 connector. Unless your pv has a good drip cup, a drip shield still makes sense.

 

[vespaguy]

Thanks mark I have a buzz pro so I will get a drip shield also

 

[markfm]

Io6, wharf sleeve, and a drip shield is a cool combo. On my shield I removed the top oring, then added a second ring right at the bottom of the shield, really happy with the result.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Thanks Mark !!!!

You're gonna love the i06 vespa

 

[TexasT]

Just my two cents ... but I sure do like my Wharf Rat sleeve and use it a lot!

This is something I highly recommend for all the i06 lovers ... like me!

TT

picked up a 5 pack of 3.5 ohm IO6s, an empire drip shield and a sleeve today at vapestock, very cool combo, and I met all three builders in one room

 

[evilfrog]

Loving the i06 - sleeve - shield combo here as well. Will you punch them for VVPV use on request? I ordered the adapter, but I wouldn't mind having a couple punched sleeves around. I don't have a lot of tools....

Got the IO6 sleeve last week, just wanted to thank you for speedy shipping and a great product wharf

 

[Wharf Rat]
