I have a warning for anyone who puts their iHy in a pocket. Be very careful when bending over or squatting. My poor green Sagewood broke off at the base tonight.

That's what happens with China glass.

That sucks...............bounced mine of the tile floor on accident with no protecter on and tank busted but tip went flying and landed on carpet...not sure if that was best option yet......tank prob easier to get than tip.. aluminum and cap help up well with no damage at all.....

It happens with all glass, I had the same thing happen last week with my favorite Trippy. I’m now going to get a holster or just use glass at home as I’m clumsy with the glass.

Ya prob best haven't seen a holster I like for bottom button mods yet but still looking ......

Reboot...

If that doesn't work, explain what happens when you try to open it.

does it give you any message? have you done the most simple fix of rebooting your system? done any clean up?

It wouldnt open at all, I fixed it, just right clicked on toolbar and killed the processes of firefox, it works now :)

Ok so now my order is confirmed what else do I need to order before my IHY gets here?? Batteries?? Flat top or normal batteries?? Where to get them?? Kanthal and SS mesh?? Where to get them?? Do I need to get a kick?? Where?? Thanks for the help.
I have watched the videos on wraping a coil and rolling the mesh and burning it with a butane torch.

LOL thevinstigator! You're not excited at all, are you? Have you been to the chatroom? That's what I would do next. Sometimes you learn alot from the experienced, knowledgeable, mature folks in the room (and sometimes you just laugh your BLEEP off at the juvenile deliquents killing time waiting for their vapemail!) .... (and I'm not saying which of those I am!!!!!! :::giggle, snort, GUFFAW:::)

Awesome idea ggruss! Pass this around like we did the last list of ideas!!! Please ADD your suggestions. When it's done I'll place the final list on the spreadsheet! (The first draft is there already!)

1. Batteries- you MUST use IMR. I use AW's. You can use 18650's, 18350's, or 18490's with a kick. (rtdvapes, super t, lighthound)
2. A charger. There are many options. I use an Xtar WP-II 6 bay. Some don't like it because it uses spacers. The "gold standard" is, arguably, the Pila. (same as battery suppliers)
3. Resistance wire. Most use kanthal 32 a-1. Some prefer a lower gauge wire for lower resistance. Some twist/braid it. I find that a 5 wrap coil of kanthal 32 makes about the a 1.8 ohm coil. Less wraps, lower resistance. More wraps, higher resistance. (I used kingorchid on ebay)
4. Stainless steel mesh. Some like 325,some like 400. There are some who say 500 is the best for wicking. I'll order 500 if I ever order again, but use mostly 400 now. (ebay or themeshcompany)
5. A butane torch. Some use propane, and some have even had success at oxidizing wicks on their natural gas stove. I picked my torch up at Lowes for $25. Worth it, IMO. (many, many suppliers ie. Harbor Freight, Lowes, Amazon, ebay)
6. A syringe with an 18ga blunt tip needle. I have a bunch of them. Some swear by needle tip bottles. I love the idea, and would use them if I had them. I think syringes would work better for emptying tanks, if you ever want to do that. Make sure your needles are 1 1/2" long. (ebay, amazon)

Can anyone think of anything else?

OK...a new list is floating around below. Please add your suggestions (I will be editing the list and shortening it before it's in final draft form). Thanks :)

Supplies you might need for your new iHybrid

1. Batteries- you MUST use IMR. I use AW's. You can use 18650's, 18350's, or 18490's with a kick. (rtdvapes, super t, lighthound)
2. A charger. There are many options. I use an Xtar WP-II 6 bay. Some don't like it because it uses spacers. The "gold standard" is, arguably, the Pila. (same as battery suppliers)

5. A butane torch. Some use propane, and some have even had success at oxidizing wicks on their natural gas stove. I picked my torch up at Lowes for $25. Worth it, IMO. (many, many suppliers ie. Harbor Freight, Lowes, Amazon, ebay)
6. A syringe with an 18ga blunt tip needle. I have a bunch of them. Some swear by needle tip bottles. I love the idea, and would use them if I had them. I think syringes would work better for emptying tanks, if you ever want to do that. Make sure your needles are 1 1/2" long. (ebay, amazon)
7. a multi meter to test ohms and for any shorts. (Thanks Shado!)
8. Some time and patience  (Thank you Schneck!) LOL

Can anyone think of anything else?

NancyR: ok as far as batteries go please only use high drain IMR you can find them at Genuine AW Batteries at RTD vapor, as well as many other places. The standard iHy can use either 18650 or 18350, the button tops on some might leave a light gap tho I understand the spiders will have the new switch so that won't be an issue any longer.
KICK: You don't have to use a kick, some prefer it some don't, it is all personal taste. If you do use a kick you can use the 18490/18500 batteries and the kick in the 18650 tube.
MESH: As too the mesh there are a couple places to get it, depending on your budget GRAINGER APPROVED VENDOR Wire Cloth, SS, 400 x 400 Mesh, 12 x 12 In - Wire Cloth - 3DLR6|3DLR6 - Grainger Industrial Supply,
The Mesh Company (Warrington) Ltd #400 Super Fine Filtration Mesh - 25 Micron. Some of the guys have said what they get from Grainger while it costs a bit more is higher quality. If you do order from The Mesh Company keep in mind they are in the UK so takes longer to get. Also, I have heard the 500 is awesome, tho I am using the 400 currently and have tried the 325. I can't say I notice a difference in flavor tho the 400 does seem to wick better, and rolls easier for some reason.
