how does the acetone taste when you vape it?

just kidding, nail polish remover huh, does it rinse clean with no residue?

Strait up acetone has to be purchased from a Home Depot or Lowes. It is the only thing to remove machining oils. It will evaporate dry. I would still torch

I just screwed up, no pun intended. I screwed the tank cover on a bit too tight, and I am having no luck getting it off. Every time I try to unscrew it, the bottom tube is unscrewing. If I take the bottom tube off, I cant get a grip in order to unscrew the cover. Any suggestions?

Well I haven't had a lot of time with it yet. Things I can say:

-form factor is pretty good...and having a top cap that won't come off is great
-A screw on tank is a little inconvenient. But these are the sacrifices you make for a very portable PV.


The PV and finish seem very solid, but I need some more time to tell. I run my iHybrid in 18350 mode also, and I installed the exact same set up on the sidewinder. With my iHybrid when I dry burn for more than a couple seconds the wick will be glowing. This was not the case with the sidewinder...but it may be user error. I'm sure I will be able to mess with it some tonight and learn a little more about it.



What setup is that? Trouble is, with the same setup you might get quite different power output on two different mods. Do you mind measuring the resistance in the switch? Also, if you could, measure the battery voltage directly, and then the voltage across the coil. You need to do this with a freshly charged battery of the same type on the two mods, because the voltage drop depends on the mod, on the coil Ohms and on the battery. For instance, I get a 0.04 V drop on 1 Ohm coil iHy with a fresh MNKE, but ~0.1 V with a fresh AW. With a MNKE that is drained 3.6 V I actually get a drop of 0.3 V under that load. And I get a ~0.4 V drop on my Zenesis standard with a fresh battery (varies with when you had cleaned the switch).

Cyclin,
So sorry for your loss ... Just comfort yourself knowing that they're in the better place right now with the loved ones they've lost ones.. And we'll meet again one day - our earth life connections and our friendship last for eternity. Don't ask me how I know- I know, you can trust me on that..

Did you guys noticed the juice darkens in the tank and when the tank is 80%-90% empty - the juice looks like a thick syrup and tastes weird.. My guess is- the juice gets overcooked by the overpowering the coils. That happen to "extreme" vapers who vape on 0.8-0.9 ohms with 3.7 - 4V.. Any other ideas?

That's the great thing about pure (not nail polish remover, it has additives that could leave deposits) acetone, it evaporates competely in less than a minute.

Yup. Love my daughter but had to switch it up for one of my best friends over the last decade. He died last night :(

sorry to hear that cyclin, I dont even want to think about my cat dying, she's getting old and cranky and got such tude sometimes but my gf and I love her so much, I grew up w/ a couple pits and a staffy, and when they died it left a hole in my heart, I didnt want any pets for a long time till we found a couple stray kittens stuck in a bush outside our apt :wub:

Pure acetone can be bought at Walgreens and CVS also. I used to use it in my homemade "go-go" juice to clean my bowling balls.

I have never had a problem with my juice getting dark/thick. I usually run around the 1 ohm mark. Might have more to do with chain vaping technique. I take short blasts, and release in between tokes. Usually only take a bout 3-4 pulls in a row, and let it cool completely. I have a friend who keeps his finger on the trigger the whole time he is chaining, says it is a nice warm vape for him.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and warm wishes everyone :) He was a great dog and he would be proud to bark incessantly and spew his poop-breath all over if he could hear your guys' support.

Actually I've found my juice darkens more when it is over-wicking, not so much when the coil is too hot. If you pull off your top cap and watch your coil, do you see bubbling or boiling when you fire the APV>?

Tacky actually....squeaky clean.

Yea I guess slick is not good, you want your ball to grip the lane a little. I know one thing, those lanes are slicker than snail snot. I accidentally crossed the line once and landed head first with my legs fully extended over the top of me!
