The iHybrid APV - A fully Customizable Genesis

[Schneck]

Ya that's what its doing for sure . Not wicking well so normally 3 o'clock works well but gets a little to much and does what you say on wick.......is this a prob? Will it change taste? Is there a fix? Is kind of hoarse but just switched to full strength and figured that was why....used half strength be fore this tank same setup and noprob..

vaping @ 4-5:00 helps. Draw for a second after releasing the switch. May help. I get it sometimes too, and don't worry about it much.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I'll get there ratios and get back to ya....if wicking probs sure there higher vg or your wick needs attention......

I'm thinking things just need to break in a bit, including myself Things were starting to come together yesterday. This morning I decided to try some suggestions of a thicker wick but didn't want to mess with a wick that seemed to be finally breaking in... So queue Lady's reference links and a post by Ezkill. Rolled a tiny wick and just slid it inside my regular wick. Didn't bother to oxidize it cause well, why bother... Seems to be working pretty darn good, haven't needed to tip past 3 o'clock, no dry or harsh hits. Thinking I got a winner here

I don't know where you'd get the ratios for Halo juice but I am curious what it is... Tiki juice is one of my top 3 ADV's.

I don't know the ratios for it, but I will say if it is high vg it has been thinned down. I have not had any wicking issues from it.

Update: I've been checking my voicemails and emails for the past hour. I have authorities from Signapore and Malaysia contacting me over fraud and illegal sales of ecigs not permitted in their country. I will call them tomorrow as they were closed today for the # they left. So.....if they say its illegal and there are fraud purchases from stolen credit cards, all purchases from those countries will be refunded and I will no longer be able to ship there, I'll keep yall updated. If you see a refund tomorrow, you know why.

morning everyone

Face, I don't think it is a paypal issue, I think from what they are saying it is more they are use to getting 2 emails one from paypal and one from whatever site they order from, so maybe just adding a note on the site that if you get a paypal confirmation then the order went through, and that you don't auto send confirmations like that other than the paypal one just so they know.

Exactly my case .... I was not complaining though this was my first order with iHy and was not sure of the protocol.
Most orders you get a PP receipt and an email from the vendor stating the order is placed.
I realize this is usually automated from bigger vendors.

I know your just a small show trying to get great APVs to the people though so no complaints.

The other thing that had me a bit concerned was the only item i ordered (iHy Spyder) had absolutely no info about it other than a pic and expected date. I went on the assumption that I would get two tubes just like every other model and pulled the trigger ..... I'm psyched to get it.

All iHybrids come with 2 battery tubes with the exception of the 14500 model, it is 1 solid unit that will hold 14500's and 18500's

not really an issue for me, as I can just refund them, might upset who ever ordered the units because the only way to get them would be the classies or someone willing to ship there. I cant if its illegal

Perfect cause seems I'm always a day late ,,,however seem to find a way to get the goods.....lol

SG ... yep, it's illegal. I'm not surprised. If you look at the prices of anyone selling from SG in the classifieds it's like double. They basically sneak all that stuff into the country.

There was a wave of issues exactly like you describe earlier this summer from a number of large vendors. The chargebacks and PP issues even shut a few of them down for a while searching for new payment processing...
