Christ, I've got all this coming to me - expecting mine in the post tomorrow - no doubt I will end up throwing things out my window in a rage at some point. my kittens had better watch out.

I'm glad you said that macca - I ended up making a new wick cos I kind of mangled the supplied one. Anyhoo, I put a new coil on it and after a couple of goes I've got it vaping very nicely. Get the odd dry hit if I cane it too much, but otherwise loads of flavour and decent flavour. I'm hoping that will improve over time.

I have replaced it now with a 40 x 40 mm #500 mesh rolled real tight with a thin hole through and through..Any bigger and I can't roll it tight enough to get it through the hole..
Clouds of Vapour and zero hotspots..

I've had mine since VH first got them in, totally sold on Genny types now, looking forward to the AGA-T.
I've found using the drill bit method to make the coil the easiest way. With rebuildables and diy mixing, I'll be able to go out for a few months at a time on the boat and not have worry about running out of juice or atties.

Very nice they look to Ron . . . I've rotated your picture, just to save everyone from having to stand on their heads to view it.

The blindingly obvious struck me today after fitting a clear tank to one of my genny's. I was thinking that the tank was running out rather quickly, but I wasn't having to put much in when re-filling.
My wick is directly opposite the device button and I usually use my thumb to vape, with the clear tank on I could see that as the tank emptied and I tilted the device to vape the wick was coming totally clear of the liquid, so drying out quickly, hence dry hit, me thinking it was empty. Doh!!!! ??? ??? ???

So I took mine completely to bits today, gave it a good clean out, reassembled, put a nice new coil on it and was even having a small but perfectly formed vapegasm when I discovered it is leaking from the bottom of the tank. I can't take it to bits again until I've emptied the tank. I'm hoping it's not an o-ring problem. Anybody else had this?

Nope, not a drop..
You can empty the tank using a syringe and take a look perhaps?

Well, it's vaping so well, I'm tempted to wait until I've at least emptied the tank.
