On top, it needs to be at the same level as the positive connection. You cannot have a long positive lead hanging in the air - it will become a hotspot.

You want as much of the wick as you can submerged in the liquid. I never tried a "high" wick, but it will work, just not sure if better. A good wick carries the liquid very fast, it doesn't need to (it cannot) get soaked. So it also doesn't "store" juice, it needs to be in contact with as much juice as possible at all times while you fire the coil - that's why it doesn't work to vape vertically...

Didn't even know a high wick was a possibility.

I mean after the wick gunks up, can you trim off the top, pull it up a bit (so its flush with the positive screw) and recoil and vape? Do I need to make a new wick or can I just use it till its too short to be effective?

I vape with the wick downwards so even with a shorter wick, it seems it'll be submerged. Thought it might wick faster due to less distance the juice had to travel.

hey guys, im looking for a new genny style to try, i know faceless from the pluid forum and have heavily considered it, i just got a zen standard in the classies, so how do you guys think the i hybrid compares? how is the draw? i feel like the draw on the zen is to airy, so is the i hybrid a little stiffer and how is it to set up? a lot of people say the zen is the easiest to set up, but i still have trouble, lol will the i hybrid be about the same, easier or harder?
faceless, i hope you dont mind me asking comparisons to the zen, but its all i have to go by at the moment.

thanks guys!

I trim my wicks short! They start long and as they gunk up, I trim some off. Works great as long as you have the wick submerged while vaping.

I won't compare for you... I will tell you that I have three Zenesis Hybrids, and one iHybrid. I am equally likely to have an iHybrid in my hand as I am to have a Zen in my hand. As far as set up goes, I cut my teeth on the Zens, so I had trouble at the start with them. I set up the iHybrid when I got it, and I have just been vaping it since... It was a one time "roll the wick, wrap the coil' thing for me, but I give the Zens credit for the experience to have that success with the iHybrid.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the verification! Thought the wicks had to be long for some reason.

I can't compare since I don't have a Zen but the iHybrid is airy. Think somebody found them to be comparable (or it might be in my mind, I did take my night cap).

Hi everyone :) It made sense to me to start a spreadsheet of important posts since it's MUCH MUCH EASIER to do when a forum/thread is newly launched. So...here it is. Most of the posts are not "technical" yet, since Faceless just shipped the first few units, but there will no doubt be all kinds of "how-to" and "instructional" information posted in the near future.

I am just starting the spreadsheet and am slowly catching up. I'm on page 32 but I hope to be up-to-date within a few days. Some of the info on the sheet now will be dropped off later. And, at some point in the future (when he's not slammed with orders) Faceless may be able to make comments or changes. I certainly don't expect to have the time right now.

As always, I'd appreciate any suggestions or input you might have. This is YOUR reference information....so just let me know if you think a particular post should be added for reference later?

Remember this is a "Rough Draft" so be kind! LOL

Thanks :)

Bummed. I broke my tank tonight. Disassembled the whole thing for cleaning and cracked the tank trying to slide it back on. Anyone have tips for putting it back on once I have a replacement?

Oh no, so sorry ataunton. I know that's a drag. I wish I could help....but someone with experience/knowledge/ideas will come along and help you out. Good luck :(

Actually, that's a great idea poon76, except I have several of these spreadsheets going. And, I'm not sure how to post a link in my signature? LOL Let me work on it. I just Bookmark it at the top of my page...I use Firefox. Is it possible you can add the link to your "favorites" or "bookmarks"? Just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do appreciate the feedback, btw.

Nice list ladystrick9 mayby you or someone can't put the link in there sig so it can be
Accessed easy.

Well today was the opposite of yesterday. Awesome iHybrid day! Wrapped a 3 coil wrap this morning just to see the difference. This thing is kicking! I was mashing the hell out of the button with a 4 coil wrap and still not getting a satisfying hit with a 6 second draw. On a 3 coil wrap I'm getting tons pf vapor and flavor on a 4 second toot. At 1st it was way too harsh but that's cause I was mashing the hell out of the button like I had to on a 4 wrap. Lightened up on mashing the button and now it's damn near the best vaping experience I've ever had. So happy I didn't give up on this. Puffin clouds now!!!

Apply a little juice on the o-ring and the leading edges of tank, and if you get a lot of resistance once you hit the o-ring, even after applying juice (unlikely), turn the tank as you push. Try not to squeeze, I think a lot of people hold the tanks in the hand when putting back on instead of using the finger tips to push and turn.
