Welcome to the forum @~flipper . Reply's count towards the post count as well. Then after 5 posts/replys you have to wait till the forum updates at half past the hour. Just jump in a few new members threads and say hello, what you vape on and etc... After that you're good to go (it an anti spam issue that works well).

There are quite a few experts that monitor this new members section so don't be shy about posting the issue in here.

Good luck in your vape journey.

Hello and welcome to the forum @~flipper. Glad to have you here!:)

What problems are you having? Maybe we can help you out.

Thanks Susan~S! An airflow prob with a Kabuki (P3-connector). It's not clogged, no gurgling at all. The flow was really big, like wide-open for a week, but over the last month it's tough, like a Nautilus on the smallest, or 2nd-smallest air flow setting... It was probably a result of my own user error a month ago, so I was looking for a replacement just for the base of the atty, in lieu of replacing the whole thing. They're a little pricey, as atty's go.

Welcome to the forum. :thumbs:

Are you sure it's not clogged? If it had a wide open flow which gradually decreased, this suggests at least a partial clogging of the air chambers. I'd suggest a good soaking in an alcohol (vodka or pure grain) and using a small tool (paper clip?) to clear out possible gunk that's accumulated.

Yup. I read all 38 pages over the last evening or so; that was what precipitated my need to make some posts so I could post over there. :)
Well you now have your 5 posts and are a "full member". Just wait until the servers update (at :25 past the hour) and you will be free to post there.:)

Thanks for the welcome!

I'm curious about the cleaning idea. I probably have isopropyl and methyl alcohol in the house. Let's see.. yeah, the methyl's right here (I use it for cleaning monitors, keyboards, and guitar amp parts, and strings once in a while). Is methyl okay with atty's? And if not, my GF has vodka in the house, so I'd give that a go, maybe, just for fun!

I imagine cleaning an atty, would mean removing the drip tip and coil, yeah? It would mainly be about soaking the base, where all the airflow situation is at, right?

I've personally used isopropyl and Vodka. No knowledge of mythyl alcohol.

I'd completely break down the tank and all of it's pieces for the soak. Rinse with water and allow to air dry.

Welcome!! Yes, as bad said, break it down, set aside the coil and soak all pieces. Glad to have you aboard! And thanks for introducing me to a new tank. It looks sweet! Wondering if it has an RBA deck available... or if the new RBA deck by Aspire would fit...
