That's no skirt, That's my Kilt! I'm half Irish ya know!?:laugh:

Wow!! I am shocked... Someone who claims Irish linage and is aware they were/wore dresses... Most peeps think the kilt is reserved for the Scots and don't realize both nationalities were once one....

Just busting chops on the dress comment... I, me self, are part Scot Irish in heritage...

@Smilee, nikt nie rozumie. Rozumiem ze gałka gumowa, ale jaki płym Pan przepycha tym przez XL?
tak, gumowa, żadnego płynu - powietrze

instrument is rubber and blow air only, although it can be fluid)

just be careful because some of them are sprinkled talc inside and can be a disaster

similar equipment used to clean photographic optics, but has a lower pressure.

Again, unfortunately, I have a problem with air flow, (
Spray just as screwed and nothing else is ok (maybe even too much), but wind up the other thread is almost no smoke and hard to pull, (

any advice on something soon?

I do not have the equipment to blow himself and, besides, that every blow that I is not smiling - but probably needed a bath

Smilee it may be the atty.... or carto.... not sure what your using. I suggest using a different atty or carto and see if this helps your air flow. The air comes from the cone at top, through holes there and space around drip tip and atty/carto wall. Not much can affect air flow.

dirty atty or carto is my guess.

@Smilee, there are many possible causes. Air flow depends in part on the atomizer. Some take in air from the bottom and the little pinholes on the connector, others only one of these. There are truly many atomizer designs. The XL can supply air from the bottom to the atty's center tube, or from above to the pinholes if the inner o-ring is removed (or destroyed from wear;-) ). You might have to take that o-ring out for some atomizers. See my drawing. The XL's motto is "Every atomizer works. Some are an adventure!"

Even then, the space between the carto's outer walls and the chimney's inner wall is important, and some atties are very "fat" so little air gets through. That's the case with a 306 or an i06 with a drip-tip. As juice leaks past the o-ring, which happens when you have to squirsh hard, that space gets full of juice, and air-flow is reduced more.

Are all your atties the same type?

Or you atomizer could have whichever holes it sucks air through getting plugged. Maybe time for an atty bath in alcohol (spirytus)? Cartos like the Boge LR start out with fantastic air flow, and after a few days hard XL vaping start to get clogged with poor airflow, and there's no cure I know of, other than putting a fresh one on.

An XL bath might help too, and take the o-ring out before the bath anyway, so you don't have to take your kitchen plumbing apart to get it back ;-)

hmmmm..... try this.... detatch the atty and blow it out from the thread end...always blow in the direction of air flow....
then see if the atty by itself...alone... has poor airflow

if the flow is smooth then it will be in the chamber somewhere.....where the atty screws in.......let me take mine apart and look

fernand has a point ....adventure

3 other including brand new vapage BF

the problem is with feeding too, such as body blow from the top of this for a moment everything is ok - liquid administered as needed, the air flow is ok and atty smokes as you need, but after a few pumps for is getting worse and just loosen atty for a while helps, I also I have to push harder to pour a bottle of liquid:

Thank you so much :)
Just got my VMod-XL today. 510s, (DC) cartos, ... anything works and now 901s thanks to that picture.
I just drilled a 1mm hole on the same adaptor you have.
I can now use my favorite 4.5ohms 901s at 6V.

And about the voltage difference people talk about, I didn't do scientific tests but both my 4.5ohms 901s & 510s give the same throat hit than with my Silver Bullet and GG. I would dare to say even more throat hit but that's maybe because I vaped on 2 ohms DC cartos at 5v with my ProVari for a while now.

Has anyone tried kanger horizontal coils on their vmod? I have a few en route to try out for the first time, and after reading some reviews, I'd think they would be ideal for a bottom feeder. Apparently they work best when you push liquid up through them instead of top filling.

Loving my 2.0 with this boge 2 ohm carto at the moment.
