I have such respect for Faceless and this group of people. I'm not trying to be a A** Kisser...I just think Faceless is doing things that are "cutting edge" and has such a loyal group of folks supporting him. 
Thanks grruss
I've done spreadsheets for a couple other forums, but I admit, this place feels like "home" to me.
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting sappy. 'nuff said.
Maybe extra o-rings and a spare tankOK...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)
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)
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.
DO IT!!! I've taken a few different ones, some more useful and fun than others, but I learned at least one thing in every single class. If you really want to have some ... fun, go do a track day! I rode Miller in Utah with California Superbike School and it was the best weekend of my life, and I managed to learn a ton besides
its tricky, type illuminati backwards and put .com in it in your browser
Blaine's grinnin' like a jackazz eatin' briers.
Just for follow up to those who heard my post yesterday, my son was discharged from the hospital after a concussion today. He is doing great, considering the shape he was in yesterday. I want to thank everyone for their words of encouragement.
Oh and thanks for the ihy group invite faceless and Blaine, it will be my honor to represent. I have shown off the device to several friends, but I have to honor my wife and wait till christmas to vape it, even though she gave me the green light. Anyone who knows a good lady is hard to find would understand, even though I would execute a random stranger to use it.LOL
Just a quick tip about rattling batteries, in some of my high end flashlights the batteries rattle a bit and the tip I got was to wrap a single dollar bill around the battery then insert. No more rattle and you will always have a dollar in your pocket.
Can someone please explain the cult like admiration for Pluid fluids?? Is it tobacco flavored? I have never tried it but it seems like all people who have a Ihy use it, is it just the real cool look of the juice in the tank?? What does it taste like?? I am not knocking the fluid at all just trying to understand why everyone is using it and can`t get it. Thanks
yes but only by a few days
I can not do custom 18650 kick tubes, I think I will only do 25 more and discontinue them
I'm also going to make a twitter account for mthe website, so it will alert when new items are in stock
i dont know about anyone else but i seem to have problems getting my top oring off with out damaging them until bought a dentist pick from harbor freight, now i can slip it off with no problem
I've always just used a toothpick and had zero problems.i dont know about anyone else but i seem to have problems getting my top oring off with out damaging them until bought a dentist pick from harbor freight, now i can slip it off with no problem
I've seen a video somewhereI think it was of Zen~ explaining how to take the o-ring off to get the tank off the ZAP? Basically just pinch it on opposite sides and push towards the end. Should stretch the o-ring a bit and give slack on the end you are pushing towards. Can search for it but hey, if you can do it with a pick and not cause damage than why fix what aint broke?If I'm not mistaken (and I often am

I know I mentioned it in my tank cleaning video.

lol...beat me to it....
I can say that cause a lady backed into my brand new bike lass than 48 hours after I rode it home from the dealer... I was even parked in the grass away from the parking lot 
But it got me over worrying about my new baby. Battle scars will happen no matter what you do so embrace it and move on
