grrrrrrrr ahhh well a week won't hurt.
it's just the tank sleeve
well i was sick of buying juice, and thought i would try a hand at DIY so i gets about $130 worth of nic and lots of flavors and bits.
to find at check out the company is moving this week, so no deliverys
and i just got the bottle up to try diy
it now has a skinny though
Cobalt "should" be a fat wick if its the one that came in it. No need for an insulator with the anodized Zens.
My Cobalt came back home today.
It is now the Zenesis Orange Crush:
i too didn't understand why folks would go back to a 3.7 v device, but.... it's all in yiur set up. besides, i don't run my batteries below 3.7 ish so i don't notice a big drop. i have provari devices as well. just depends on what flavor i want. i just rotate devices
Wow, that is really sweet!
As is the normal progression of a new hobby, I'm beginning to question my early assumptions.
I thought I'd never need a non-VV APV. I really like the idea that I can change voltage on a whim, without having to mod the coil. I find I do it a lot. Probably more than needed. I usually change it with every tank fill to get the best taste from that particular juice, and this would be a pain w/o the ease of the VV.
~Please let know if I'm missing something, just completely misunderstanding what I have/need to do, or just making this harder than it has to be~
I really like the constant voltage the ProVari gives me, even when the battery is above or below the selected setting.
These things are what I really like. Due to that, I love the ProVari.
But, these Cobalts just look SOOOO DAMNED NICE! I'm thinking maybe I should get a one. The problem is, there's no VV.
There's also the really awesome looking and form of the Sidewinders. At least they have the option for VV. I also like the thumb button better than the pinky button on the other Z~s., but there's no clear tank, and I like seeing what and how much is in my tank.
That said, what am I missing? Why should I go with what I always thought an "analog" was - i.e. an e-cig w/o a microprocessor? (I know now that's not the use of the term)
As of now, the pro's I see are - they look GREAT! and if there's ever a electromagnetic pulse, I'd still be able to vape.
Convince me I should order some more vape-mail. I need a backup device, so what should it be? Regardless of what device I choose, it will have a Z-Atty
This comes up in the chat thread just about every day so I figured I'd make a thread specific to addressing this issue.
If you have a cOBalt or a BAM and you're having weak/inconsistent hits, there are some steps you can take to correct this.
These are the parts of the switch:
In the switch post section, there is a small channel that runs around the actual post. This surface should have no anodizing. Using a small flat head screw driver (eyeglass screw driver works well) or some other object, scrape the surface around the switchpost until shiny bare metal is exposed. Then, you should see that the top of the switch post also has no anodizing. Using sandpaper, sand that area, as well.
If your switch body is silver in color, that means your switch body is stainless and you don't need to do anything further. If it is black (BAM) or blue (cOBalt), then sand the spring contact point on the switch body, also.
There is no need to take any other step such as removing anodizing or inserting magnets, paper clips, watch batteries (IAN!), etc. This is the quickest, easiest, most effective way to get your anodized zenesis firing to it's potential.
awesome andy, I love your diagrams, like andy said make sure you can see metal on the spring contacts like this..... (from a SW but its aluminum like the cobalt/bam) i think mike used a lazering process to get rid of the anodising, which might leave behind some oxidation, you should be able to see shiny aluminum there, just use a tiny flathead or some fine grit sandpaper to get rid of it.
