I wonder if any 911's made it to the post office

Hope they all made it he said some Fri if not sat. Will be nice my tank busted so ordered some from Zen, I hybrid or if 9/11 shows first but till then my Ihybrid is paralized for the moment...I have went to many hardware stores to find something to modify a tank with to fit...I guess if I have to I'll use another device but won't be satisfied at all....after using ihybrid

I noticed it on some of my juices too, it did it with all my genesis types, they will turn dark sometimes and sometimes they wont, I think its my wick lol, I'm gonna go buy a bic pen and try the insulator tomorrow

Is there a "how-to" or video on how to put the insulator in? I mean, it's probably a "no-brainer" for most of you, but I think I put mine in wrong.

Tks.

At least I've had plenty of time to make a stack of mesh wicks and twist alot of wire. Lmao. Was trying to mass produce some mesh using a big mapp gas tank and it just destroyed all the mesh must have been a little to much heat or air pressure not sure but wasn't good...live and learn. I tried teaching my 5 and 11 year old girl to do a assembly line on mesh coil setups and when wife came downstairs and saw my 5 yr old girl wit butane torch,safety glasses and long glowing wick in her hand smacked me in the back of the head and shut down production so now a one man show again.....SUCKS

You just cut a short piece off the top of the ink tube (where there is no ink) long enough to go through the wick hole and cover the metal.

I might pick up another Orion....crap, here we go again.

The only thing that worries me about the glass tanks is I'm not sure where the button is going to end up. I actually sanded all my tanks so that the air hole lines up with the wick and the button is were I want it.

That's kind of the downside of the Orion. The airhole doesn't line up with the wick holes unless you sand the tank down. It takes all of 2 minutes to do but I don't know how that will end up with a glass tank.

I'm still catching up, and this has probably been addressed....

You can sand down a glass tank.
I'll have to look and see what size sandpaper I used, but I put the paper flat on a table and used circular motions to sand down a glass tank for an Orion.
It did take a while, but it was not a stock tank. Stock tanks would probably take less time as there would be less to sand down.

Oh, nice. I did the exact same with the Poly tanks.

If it can be done with glass then no problem. No need to loot for the grit you used I think I have about every grit possible. I'll start with 400 and see how that goes. Probably finish with 1200 or something.

I received my drip tips from Brett today. They do fit perfectly on the iHy, I love the way they fill up the top cap.
