There's a reason for the i06's hard draw that's worth understanding so you can get around it. For most atties and cartos on an XL air is drawn up the center tube from the bottom well. That air comes to the bottom chamber from above, through air channels in the XL's "block".
But with IKV atties it won't work, because air can only come in the side pinholes, and for that it has to squeeze in directly from above, along the atty's barrel. If you have the o-ring in place you get NO air, because it seals around the barrel.
If the o-ring is out, it can work, but the space between the atty's barrel and the chimney's wall determines how much air you get. If you have a driptip on the i06, it's usually so thick-walled that it almost fills that space and you get very little air.
The IKV 510 atties are a lot like the i06 internally, but have a thin-walled stainless steel barrel, so you get a decent space between the chimney inner wall and the atty's outer wall. It vapes a lot like an i06 but with a good draw.
If you want the i06 to work better, look for a very thin-walled driptip, that's why the beige plastic tubes were popular, or maybe and/or only slip a driptip on the very top of the atty, that works not too badly for me, though the IKV 510 atty works much better.
But then I get sick o' frequent squirshin' altogether, and just pop another fresh Boge on it, and I'm in heaven for a couple or three days

Got my XL seal kit today, so I can dump my home made fix and enjoy it the way it was meant to be. Yay! The kit comes with 2 of the collar o-rings and 2 of the inner o-rings so I'll never be without for too long!
Woot Woot! Skinny contacted me about the scratched cover. and he will take care of me. once again he came to the rescue!

I knew when Skinny heard about it, he would make it right.

Take the bottle off and look up into the chasis where the bottle threading is, there should be a silicone clearish white colored seal, that keeps the bottle from leaking, it may be askew.
Sounds about right smilee, the postage time between Texas and Gaillimh is usually 9-14 daysLong, long weekend in progres. Ostinato make happy yesterday, wrote that cheap shipment to hungary was delivered in about 11 days
Ordered my XL and have a Q for those who already have one.
As far as 306 drip tips go I have a few standard delrin 306 DT's but wanna make sure they're not going to be too thin for the collar on the XL. Are they too thin on the collar or is the XL 306 DT too big? I was about to order a few things and remembered I should prolly get a heads up from someone who knows already.I Hope someone knows what I mean by this. Here's an example on avid vapor: Cisco LR306 Atomizer + Drip Tip Special - Avid Vaper

UGH! I was cleaning my XL last night and one of the o-rings came out. It's the one inside the chamber. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to go into the groove in the chamber, but how the hell do you get it in there?!?! Help please!!
Looking at that atty, it seems the bridge is exposed above the neck of the atty cylinder wall... so my guess would be no.... but then I'm no expert. I have used the Vapage atty and a Boge on my XL with no issues..... someone will chime in I am sure who will know for sure......
Might also try using a toothpick....or a dental pick if you have one
AG has been using Joye 306's and I believe said a standard delron drip tip works.
The Avid one should work fine.
You want a thin walled drip tip -- The chimney has to fit over it.
I'll find one and check it out now...

Thanks for the quick replys Kami & Tea...
@ Tea Rose. Yeah, I remember AG saying he had a JOYE 306 on in the video on page 1. I'm hoping it is just the standard delrin DT cuz I'd need to order the XL's otherwise. Thanks for the info and if you get a chance to try a Cisco let me know how that goes

@Smilee - 11 calendar days it was.
@Coil - for a Joye 306 I need a long drip tip. I guess they are the same size as the Cisco ones. And they are a bit too thin, there is about 0,5mm between the drip tip and the cone.
Some photos for you, sorry about the quality:
