Hay, stop trying to squash the inventive minds while they are working.
Sorry, sorry! Lets brainstorm for more crazy things than!
Just wanted something simple to control the air flow.
Are there any Genesis styles with an inverted tank?
Try to add some vaseline on the threads and see if you can start the sleeve. Hope you can get the sleeve off!
Oh Fisty or Keegan, can I get a pic of how it looks with the washer?
Does it affect draw or is it just to keep the wick straight?
Does it make it harder to coil? I'm just worried about the wick touching the washer.
Thanks!

Definitely don't go crazy tightening it or force it whatsoever.
I back turn it until I feel the first thread than with almost no grip turn it on.
Try tapping it lightly on the thread area, slowly increasing to harder taps until it's loose.
It might need a jolt, tapping sometimes does that.

That just happened to me!! I removed it from the tube and held onto the tank cover with a towel...it gave me enough traction to be able to get it off the tank.
The concern with disimilar metal and threads has to do with different corrosion characteristics. On a car, for instance, you don't want disimilar metals exposed to the weather. Further, this corrosion concern is exacerbated when the threads aren't frequently used. The environment our iHybrids live in is, hopefully, not corrosive and, hopefully, we are threading these things off and on enough that the threads won't seize. Doesn't help your cross-threading issue, Fisty, but it gave me a chance to sound smart for once.
I usually don't tighten it (or the locking ring) at all - I just spin it fast and when it stops on its own, that's that.
Think the issue is Galvanic corrosion but no idea how much that comes into play.
This mod definitely won't go with me anywhere near the ocean.
I don't even go that far. I tighten until it stops on its own and then back it off to index the air hole.
Did I misspell it? Guess I didn't sound so smart then, huh? Yup, it's electrolysis.
yes my spelling sucks.
I know, but the wife is tired of me asking.........how do I spell......
sad but true

Thought electrolysis was using DC to make a chem reaction. Like running DC through H20 to produce Hydrogen and Oxygen.
I remember trying to make one of those H20 cars with electrolysis, didn't work so well.
I put the washer there to keep the air flow moving in a circular patern across the wick before it exits to the tip. It's a fairly important design element of the Zenesis that the iHybrid doesn't have, so I made it happen. Wrap the wick before you put the washer and screw on. It's kind of a pain to get it so the wick doesn't touch the washer but I managed it.
Probably try this later after I get a bit more practice in. Seems like an intermediate step.
Thanks
The imagination is the only hold back on the creation of new stuff, if you have no imagination or creativity then your stuck with the same ole, same ole. For insance, scubabatdan is working on a fan that blows the vapor through a carto and into the users mouth, for COPD people. If he hadn't had the imagination and the creativity to think of and build such a thing, those with COPD would be stuck in the void.
