Cheers macca, I'll probably stop playing with this now then as it's too much for me.

Disappointed now as I like playing with new toys :-(

Have you tried reducing the power on your mod, that will reduce the throat hit

Tried using lower nic and varying the power but still too much for me. It's not a great issue, I've had fun playing with it and discovered that I may as well stay with the nova's as they do what I want i.e. keep me off the fags. It's been a learning experience so not a waste :-)

Tomorrow I am going to attempt making a fill hole for this.The same as clockworks uses in the RTA.

I have managed to buy one of these from meeee,can't wait to have a play when it arrives.What is the best coil setup to stop this leaking issue then?Push the wick tails into the channels?I'm just trying to get a picture in my head before it arrives,is it similar to setting up an oddy?What size wick is everyone using as i have a load of 2mm CE2 wick that i was planning on using.Oh well,suppose i will just have to wait and see when it comes :)Just don't like the sound of losing juice as i am running low as it is

[Magsvape]

Macca, sounds like you are filling it up with juice then putting the cone on? I am putting the cone on first screwing it right down and then filling with juice. No flooding issues here and I only have the original short piece of wick up in the chamber! But it seems to work just as well with the wick in the channels.

Just re-read Macca's post and think you are right Lisa. Not having had the problem I think I got a bit confused. Having a blond moment, and I'm a brunette lol.

Ian I am using 2mm wick as that is all I have, I have tried both methods for the wick and both have leaked when replacing the top cap, that is even when I have covered the air hole, and screwing it on slowly. Others are having more success than me though
Think it will be a case of try it and see what method works best for you.

Mags really don't think Macca is putting the juice in first then the cone.

Thanks alot for your honest reply Lisa.Sounds like a great idea to add a fill hole to the top cap then,will be interested to hear how you get on with it.If i like this atty then i will have to ask someone to do mine as i am rubbish at using power tools :-[

[blakey]

The only sure fire way I've found to stop the pressure is to not fill it to the top then when you start to screw down the top cap a few turns - turn the attie upside down. This keeps the juice away from the juice channels as you screw the top cap all the way home. If there is only air at the channels then that is all that will be forced inside with the ensuing pressure caused.
By the very nature of it's design it's impossible to screw down the top cap without creating pressure inside the tank.
Lisas idea with the side filling screw will work a treat in principle but the plastic tank is a little thin to take a decent thread for a screw
What may be a good idea would be to cut the tip of a spikey thing and jam it in the airhole under the coil, this'll provide a collar that will allow some juice to sit without getting to the airhole and have the added bonus of restricting that airflow a bit- I'll give that a go at some point
Despite it foibles though this attie performs

[Greigster]

I think any airhole that is made would have to be in the tank then sealed with a screw and grommet.I believe that the metal is chrome on brass so drilling it would allow juice to come into contact with the brass unless I am mistaken.

Yes was going to put the fill hole in the tank,but hmm as Blakey said the plastic is very thin.
Was meant to try that method of filling Blakey but completely forgot about it doh. will give that a go. Oh and has anyone measure how much juice this holds?

[dave]

I've filled mine twice now and had no problem at all. I don't fill it right up though which might well be helping. In the original, the filling valve is at the same level as the airhole in the base and you hold it upside down while you fill through it. Like I said, though, I never use it on my mini - just finger on hole and fill from the top. I've done that multiple times with no problem on the mini. I can only think that not filling it up too much is the key.

I tried putting the wick in the chanels but could not get it to wick fast enough, so was getting quite a few dry hits.

I then took the wick out of the chanels and just rested it on the ledge in the dome. Bingo, works great, and that is using the supplied wicks.

I fill the tank to 1 - 2 mm below the start of the threads at the top of the tank, put my finger over the air hole and screw top on very slowly.

No leaks or overflowing so far. Draw a bit too airy, so cover half the air hole with tape. A lot better now.

Plenty of vapour, taste and throathit. I think I may have to lower my nic strength as making me light headed. Lol

All in all, worth every penny.

Sorry Lisa,i just took it that the hole would be made in the top cap :-[Some great informative posts which will help me out alot when mine turns up.I think i will do what Alan has done and rest the wick on the ledge in the dome as i chain vape and don't want dry hits.I like an airy draw so i have high hopes for this atty,i also like the sound of it making me light headed,sign of a good rebuildable.I will have to try it with some 36mg juice :)What sort of juice are you all using?I was thinking of using a PG heavy mix to aid wicking.

[maccafan]

But if you don't fill it to at least 90 % it hardly holds any juice and empties very quickly.

Having wicks in the channels completely eliminates the issue of excessive pressure build up but creates the problem of the juice feed..I used the top cap from a stardust/CE4 and wicks in the channels to make the top seal and it solves this and gives you to ability to both screw and unscrew the top and also have the cone open a turn to maintain juice feed.

Confused as to what the top cap is from the stardust is
