[Q]

[charon]

Supposed to be shipped by "Registered Air Mail", lets see just how fast the aircraft is....... I bet it gets held up for ages in Heathrow as usual.

[prr]

Mine now marked as shipped, must find out how to set it up!

mine arrived this morning,smells like a rifle.
i read soaking it in vodka will remove it smell,what does vodka do to the seals ?
i know from my home brew experience it perishes rubber and plastic.

Strip it, soak what doesn't have o'rings or paint with vodka... Alt accept o'ring degradation. I use Isopropyl Alcohol diluted to ~70% (I have a small apple sauce jar with it in sitting on a high shelf in the garage along with my nic base, etc.) - I dump what I can into the jar and then use cotton buds / tissue on the bits near the sensitive stuff. You can use hot water with washing up liquid but it's not as effective in cleaning it and I'm not absolutely certain it won't interact with the  o'rings. 
 Make sure you lube the o'rings  regardless of how you clean.

 Still awaiting mine - I'd love to hear what you make of yours.

cheers tomj777 I will use Ethanol diluted to 70% shall i leave it overnight or leave it alone for half an hour rinse and sniff repeat till its clean?

Mine arrived this morning, second order from focalecig, both have arrived within 7 days from shipping, excellent service.

As for the squape first impressions are that it is very solid and well built with smooth threads, soaking at the moment.

Mine arrived yesterday.

A couple of runs through the ultrasonic cleaner and ready to go!

My first build isn't really doing much so I'm gonna have to experiment with the amount of cotton I'm using - So easy to set up with the thumb screws and non-conductive deck

Build quality wise I'm happy - Draw is a bit tighter than I'm used to but that's to be expected with the airflow coming from the base.

hi I missed this what is it your all buying ? all the best vic

[Q]

It was the previous group buy Squape mine arrived this morning, my first from Focalecig, & my first buildable!!! better start reading all about coils/wicks etc

[tomj777]

Keep an eye out for rapid leakage when juice is about half way down. With my lucky bag shop one I've leant to store it upside down between 50% and 30% full. For this reason I'd be very careful about using one in a hybrid until I was confident. Leaks will also occur if the horizontal channels are not completely full. Apparently it is ready to widen (drill) the air holes in the 510 connector.
Even with all of the above, I'm delighted, and the legendary flaw with the anodised base, I'm am delighted and hope to be even more delighted when this one arrives.

No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

a pigs ear ive turned it into a dripper, cos when its filled a different kind of dripper appears  

but the kraken is performing like a good un.  

[tomj777]

That's disappointing. Make absolutely sure that you've got the horizontal juice channel completely packed... More completely than you may think. This is how I solved my ft one. Still awaiting this one.

Got mine yesterday at last. been cleaned and 2.00ohm micro coil fitted with CW. On top of a nemi at the moment and vaping perfectly to my taste. (after all it's all about personal taste.)

zedsdead if your truly having major leaking, check all seals are in place and not been nicked. Other than that, it's a matter of ensuring your coil/wick combination does the job. (remember all attys/clearos are essentially just tubes and the only major thing that stops liquid from escaping is your Plug (Wick)

Trial and error seems the way forward.
