Good to hear! Sometimes we just need to step back a bit, catch out breath and try again! I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to smash a genny style atty against the wall out of frustration!I just made a new coil
26g 1.20 ohms smaller diameter more wraps
And it works good now
Thanks alot for your help

While that's cheap enough, we shouldn't have to be buying them already!
Still haven't gotten a reply from Wismec BTW. Might need to send them another email linking this thread.
I busted my first glass putting it on the very first time, but chalked it up as a fluke. I agree that the glass is strangely brittle in some ways, definitely need to take it off with consideration.
By far the easiest way I've found to take it off is to hold the glass between your fingers with one hand, then stick a thumb or finger into the atty (top off obviously) and press down on the posts, so you're not putting any pressure on the glass at all, all the up/down force is on the metal body only. Don't push hard, just firm steady pressure and it'll loosen itself up.
Ditto putting the glass back on, just firm but gentle pressure with one thumb evenly weighted on the top edge of the glass tube until the bottom eases over the o-rings. I don't even bother lubing mine after rinse cleaning between rebuilds, and so far so good with the replacement glass the last month.

I started a thread about Wismec issues, seems people think it's all in my head. Hopefully a few of you others with glass issues will post in there also.

The price has nothing to do with it (and they generously include 3). It's that I don't want to have to get stitches in my fingers.
Actually it wasn't sitting down far enough because my coil was way up high (the only way I got a satisfying vape). Although a couple of my DTs worked fine this way.
Whenever I change my flavor in my tanks/rda's I always lube up the orings with a couple drops of juice. Never had an issue after learning to do this from that very thing happening on my first subtank.
I did lube them. They still ended up getting stuck. If that part was made of sturdy metal, it wouldn't be an issue (even if it would still be a bit of a pain to remove, I wouldn't care). My issue with this is that it can cause serious injury...you have to apply pressure (sometimes lots of it) with your fingers to a piece of fragile glass. Bad design choice, imo.
Also, my thumbs are too big to use the thumb-pressure trick. Even with that method though, you still are exerting some pressure on the sides of the glass.
Eliminate the oring closest to the base. This should make it a little easier when removing the tank.
when i rewick or clean - I leave the tank on the mod, remove the top caps and while the mod is tilted slightly down pull the glass. The residual juice falls out in the trash and I can now pull my wick and dry burn / quench as usual.
I leave Mine on as well. Also, come to think of it because I have cut myself before for shattering a tank in my hand. I hold on to it and squeeze like I am holding on to a handle. I apply pressure pretty even to all sides and then I twist it off. That might be a bit safer as well?
I took off one one the bottom o-rings, but it felt too loose, so replaced it.
This time I really drenched them with juice. Hopefully, they will stay that moist until it's time to re-wick.

i began having probs removing the tank too. i put it in the freezer for a bit then used a paring knife to separate the tank from the base going around the base a little at a time - came right off.
Man~ i have been waiting for this for so long ~ and it was worth the wait lol every vape I take is great flavor and big clouds lol
So far great first impressions! I hope you guys get yours soon lol
Compared to the theorem~ Im just
lovin it ~
No leaks, great build not so flimsy like the theorem and looks great too~! Im not such a good builder so will have to wait for experts out here to tell me more about it after you get yours!
Now back to my Avocado 24!
