I tried leaving it on the mod to stabilize it when trying to take the tank off. Not a good idea, it's on there so tight that you risk damaging the 510 on your mod.

Yeah I intend to continue taking it off to disassemble when needed. I know it probably isnt ideal to pop it off by putting pressure on the positive block but it works the best from what I can tell.

just took the dive and ordered one of these bad boys. $24 is hard to beat. Was worried about pocketability but if all fails I just won't take this one out.

I haven't had any problems with portability but it appears others have so take that for what it's worth. I haven't used anything else though since I got it except my kennedy and that was to show off with clouds and test juices

I don't take it out only because it needs to be filled pretty often. I've used a unicorn bottle to refill but without using a toothpick or a needle from a syringe it kinda floods sometimes. At home I use a bottle fitted with a needle that works.

I'm one of the worst to talk to! I can make nearly anything leak! I dropped it once Fri night and once Sat., Sat the top cap popped off, but never once did it leak! It wasn't until the glass cracked that mine leaked. Put on a new glass and haven't had a problem again. I carry it in my pocket, lie it on it's side at night and so on. I've tried to make it leak, not so much as a drip so far! It's great in that aspect, the others, we will see how it plays out.

Thanks, thats pretty reassuring. The theorem is a really nice looking tank and I would hate for it to stay home all the time :) should take it out and show it off esp since you can see your builds

I'm learning to fill it with a regular juice bottle. Just drip a little with it tilted towards the fill hole, let it run in, then drip a little more. The trick is to not drip so much that the juice builds up on the deck. Once it's on the deck you have to break the surface tension to get it to run down. It's not the fastest, but it doesn't hold that much either. That is with 60/40 juice as well.

I really need help with spitting and popping:
I am not using the Notch coil (way too got)
I am making my own
I am using single coils and they have been .050 to 1.25
Have tried different watts ranging from 12 to 15w
I am going to loose my tongue from the hot juice :(
Many Thanks
What are you making the coils out of?
Are you using TC or just VW mode?
How do you have the AFC set up?
Answering these questions will help decipher some of your issues.

In my experience spitting with hot juice is cause by not high enough wattage for the coil being used. Turn up the wattage so that it vaporizes the juice immediately. Adjust slowly to your liking. If vape is too hot for your liking once you get it to stop spitting you might need to try a different type of coil

AFC= air flow control, the slide deal under the top cap, is it set closed off, wide open, somewhere in between? You might need to open it up to let some more air in.
What size and type of wire are you using? If it's thick wire it may be heating up quick causing it to spit at you.
It may need more power, as noted above, it may need less. But without know what you have built, it's hard to say what it needs.

Now is 26g .08 ohm
I tried higher wattage made it worse
This is the only atty I ever had trouble with :(

Tried that no change :(
Ok, take the top part of the top cap off, it's threaded so you leave it on the atty and just unscrew it and the drip tip. There are three pieces, the very top, a ring with a slot in it, and the base. Move the ring so it's over the top of the black plastic piece and leave it set so you see about half the hole open.
Try that and see how it goes.

OK, are you using the stock drip tip? It's just too damn short! Swap it out with another, it'll fit loose, you'll have to change out the O-ring or put some dental floss behind the o-ring to make it wider if it works. But just put it in, leave it loose and try it.
