Alright, I did the wax job, let it sit for about 20 mins then wiped it all out, let it sit for another spell, then loaded up a bottle of my unflavored base, packed in the batteries, and tossed a new 3.0v atty (I bought a 10-pack, they were on sale). Squonk squonk, let it sit a sec and fired it up.
Nice, but could use some more oomph. I dialed it up a bit and took another hit.
Better, but not quite there. Cranked the wheel all the way up and took another hit.
POW. Huge hit, two exhales to clear the vapor in front of me. I actually coughed a little.
MORE OF THAT, says I, and I take another hit.
Nothing.
Squonked again to make sure I didn't dry out the atty, and tried another hit. Nothing.
Pulled the atty and metered it, nothing. Bupkis. Dead atty.
So, I pitched it and unwrapped another. Repeated the squonk and sit, then took a hit. Got about halfway through it and felt the all-to-familiar POCK with a little push of air. Pulled the atty and metered it, dead. Turley just killed two brand new 3.0 attys.
I went to my to-be-cleaned cup and pulled a 2.5 and put it on. Squonked it up, and after a dozen hits with a couple of squonks in the middle, am now in nicobliss.
This is one hell of a mod. Rob, you're brilliant. Thanks again!
I don't think these high-resistance atty's are fit to stand in its shadow, they're obviously junk. I'm goin' shopping - what's everyone's recommended 510 atty for these?
