Congrats Chadso!
OH MY!!! I just had my first few Vapes off of my newest friend Sophia! Oh my! She has been sitting here patiently awaiting an SnP that got to the states in lightning fast time, but is presently hanging out in SF (an hour away). I couldn't make her wait so I put Sophia in my IBTanked with stock coil (and very little fiddling) and Wowser! There are nuances in my juice that I never tasted before. Superb! I think I will ride this train for a while and then consider recoiling...I've got my miner's light ready ( as if I know what I am doing). I also watched the video again and cut the wick way back per previous discussion. Just want to make sure I put the included oring in correctly. Where is it supposed to be on the Sophia? I think it is to allow easier turning but the turning in the tank is already easy without it but I noticed a tad of juice on the underside of the base. I'm also getting used to using a Hippo v2 on my Provari with the set-up.
Signed, would like to be a tinkerer, but I'm not so great at it yet.

The red oring replaces the top cap inner oring. You remove the black, inset the red. The slide Sophia up through the bottom. The bottom should stay in contact with black to grip.

Okay guys! Fixed the IBTanked and guess what showed up at my door? Yep, the SnP 23. Watched the videos and read a suggestion from Technonaut that the red oring on Sophia doesn't fit theS&P but the smaller red orings that comes with tank do. He had success using one in the inner top thingy (2nd or 3rd post of thread). Hmmmm, from my older eyes (and miners light and magnifying glass), I can see 2 grooves that don't appear to have any existing orings, so I try to get a small red oring from kit in there and it appears as if it is too big ( I'm using little red ones from kit). Any oring 101 lessons for me please? Thank you!

There should be two brown o rings already installed in the bottom...and two in the top. Replace the top two with only one of the red ones from the SnP kit, in the topmost groove.

The SnP uses a total of ten o-rings. The two that seal the fill holes. Then four per top and bottom being two to hold the Sofia in , and two to hold the tank on x2. It should come with a full set of black installed. Remove the two black from the top that hold the Sofia in and replace one of them with a single red one that comes with the SnP. If you've never replaced o-rings from inside a cap it can be tricky. You need either a really tiny flat blade screwdriver or something like it anyways ( p.s, buy a dental pick ). Once you've got them out start with getting just one side of the red one in and pin it there with something like said tiny screwdriver. Then with something else small enough to fit in just slowly work the rest in , it'll fold up a bit but eventually it will just pop in.

When you insert your Sofia , either use the carto tool GP sent with the tank or put her in bottom first through the top cap.

I'm on the road now but it sounds like I overlooked the 2 brown inner o rings. Old eyes. So would you all suggest using tweezers to remove them or any ideas? So then there's room for the red one I bet. Thank you!

I use very pointy tweezers, because I use them to not only remove, but insert the o rings. They are also great for pulling cotton wicks through coils. Should be able to pick some up at a drugstore. One of my most used vaping tools.

I'm telling you , buy a dental pick , it's a great vaping tool.

Sophia arrived, very well made but these standard coils are not cutting it for flavor or vapor.I ordered some ready wires to do some cotton builds which should enhance the experience :)

theres always the "shark"
Vapor Shark DNA

Saw this in a Grimgreen video, looks very appealing.

i like it. been looking into DNA20 box mod's lately, just need to find the best one for the best price! might go with one by Shan Mods but, i kinda want aluminum not plastic....

IF it's a Mamu mod, you basically can't buy them, so think about the vapour shark.
