Let me know if you need me to drag out pictures.....

You can sand most of the ano off the switch post. You don't have to get it all the way down.
Take a small screwdriver, like in a eye glass repair kit, and scrape the silver "donut" around the bottom of the switch post. You're after removing the matte/sparkly and making it shiny metal. Does not have to be perfect.

On the top part of the switch, the half with the threads, flip that over so you're working underneath, and look for the same silver "donut" in the flat part of the switch top, and scrape that one the same.... if needed.

Clean it all up with alcohol.
Reassemble.
Make sure the switch is tight tight.
Test fire....

Make sure you're using enough wraps for your wick size.
I myself tried a fatty fat fat wick with like 4 or 5 wraps and was lucky to get any glow at all.
Just sayin'.

Let us know how that goes.

Oh! And sand your switch screw flat, if you haven't already.

This worked awesome vaping with an A++ Thank you so much !!

Goodnight my ZEN~ family!!

Hi all, I'm a newish vaper and a very new member of both ECF and the Zen~ family :) as I recently decided on a whim to get a 510 sidewinder. It's my first mech mod and I'm having some problems with it though...

I caused a short using a Kanger Protank (which I thought would be a solid paring with my sidewinder), luckily it wasn't bad enough to do anything other than mess up the spring in my switch. Do I need to switch to a different tank? when I posted in new members someone suggested that I may have overtightened causing a short, which I will admit may have been what happened.

Also what resistance coil should I be using? Or is that really just a personal preference thing?

any help will be greatly appreciated, happy vaping :)

RDY, you are cracking me up!!! I know exactly what you are doing!!! :p

Evening, all...

For spending most of the weekend either drunk or sleeping, I got an astonishing amount of stuff done:

1) Cleaned/rebuilt the gas Webber grill we inherited from my wife's dad (about a $1000 grill; after he passed away mom didn't want it so we got it)
2) Did ALL the laundries :) (wife is now embarrassed she didn't have a chance to contribute; I told her to relax and enjoy not doing housework for a change)
3) Mowed lawn, edged, raked up stupid Monkey Balls (odd storm coming in now blew 100+ of them off the stupid Liquid Amber tree in the front yard... it was 95 degrees Friday; now it's raining and 50 degrees...)
4) Painted back doors/edging... was peeling in the sun
5) Planted new flowers in the backyard
6) Fixed drip system in front yard planter box
7) Fixed seized-up ice maker in garage 'fridge
8) Routed wiring behind the wall for the bedroom TV

Completely failed to smog my car, however... now I need to do that sometime this week since registration is due on the 10th.
Probably should pay bills, too. :p

How's everyone doing this fine Sunday night?

(did all the above while non-stop vaping on my *ASH*; there's my 'vaping comment' contribution. :))

Has anyone ever vaped a Bloody Mary juice? :)

I would not vape something I would not drink or eat....... and even though I would eat crab and pizza anything savory lands on that list also! I do not like V8 or Tomato juice (which is strange because tomato soup and juice are on that list of ick things but anything else tomato is fine, I think its the "can" flavor addition or something.)
