510-T re-wick

[bluemagnum]

I love these 510-t atties but after 2 weeks the first 1 stopped wicking. I could hear the attie sizzling but no vapour or throat hit came out of it. Being a tight ar@e, i tried re wicking it. End result, good as new.
To do this you have to pull the spike plate out with some needle pliers and remove the worn out wick. I then cut a strand off an old CE2 clearo and tied a loose knot in the middle. Then feed the wick back through the spike, prime the wick, refit spike plate back into attie and wahey, working like a good un again.
Just thought i'd share this useless information with all the other tight ar@es on here!!

I did'nt take any pics while i did it but just took it back to bits to show you what it looks like.

Hmm now wonder if that can be done with the inoken lea as it i think all these wicking attys work the same.But i havnt had no prob yet with the lea but this is handy to know.Thanks for the time to post this up as its very useful bit of info to have.

No worries Roachie. I just looked in my i tank atty and its the same as the 510-t inside. When that dies i'll strip that too. I've never managed to take the plate out of a tornado tank attie without breaking it but reckon you could repair it just the same way.

I do this with my tornado t attys all the time, never had a problem breaking the plate though!
