Get some plastweld, some A1 Kanthal, some 3mm wick or make your own SS wick and they're perfect the way they are.. If I wanted longer wicks I would just use the CE2. I got six on the go starting with 2 x V1 from Gotvapes, 2 x V2 from ecigwizard and 2 x V2 pink ones (instead of the black that I ordered, thanks Perpetua for keeping my friday's in mind) ..

EMA Plastweld..RC Model stores stock them..I bought mine from the branch near me for £3.25. hobbystores.co.uk/2005/FS_Main.asp?SelectedTab=ShopsYou'll need an applicator so get a fine paintbrush. There are others but use plastweld at your own risk because that one certainly ain't food safe and dangerous to inhale from the bottle..

They don't need to be broken in Storm..Just need to give the wick a little bit of time to prime by lying it on it's side..Like maybe about 2 minutes..If you fill by dripping along the wall where the wick is you can vape straightaway as it will prime during the fill. The biggest problem with these is that the tubes crack.. Cracks thats a laugh.lol I filled a brand new one left it for a bit on paper hanky, it then just did a 'mini explosion' juice all over my tablecloth and bottle in half, I never even touched it after filling, not impressed! others seem ok though.

Well I logged in this morning to 146 emails/orders/queries etc and that's since logging off at 9pm last night. So you're welcome to share some Phone calls are the hardest though, because waving my arms about to show new customers how to fill a cartomiser just doesn't seem to work

Wow, that's a bit extreme! I've used 3 now, all are fine without any cracks (so far) they are the smoked ones.

Why don't you do a youtube channel Jason and post some nice videos for the most common enquiries..
You can also ad your new products by using them and post some reviews and such..

If the centrepin bit of the adaptor has a notch in the top, you can screw them up or down to adjust the height of the centrepin. It might help to raise it. From the female end (because the screwdriver I've got handy will fit that end) I'm "unscrewing", ie anti-clockwise, yes? Well that makes no difference so I'll try the other way. I see that you can screw the pin in the Stardust itself too.

The Stardust pin it not threaded, though you can wiggle it out a bit with some fiddling.

To be honest I've no idea which way it goes, I've not had to do it, but it's worth playing around with to see if it will make contact somehow. It sounds like a contact problem. Basically with an adaptor there are two electrical connection points, batt to adaptor and adaptor to device. You seem to have lifted the battery pin so... Hope it works.

I think with an LT or any sunk 510 threaded mod you need 2 x 510'-510 otherwise there is not enough depth for the adapter to make contact at both ends because of the height of the skirt so no amount of lifting is going to help.
It's better to use a single ego adapter. Some users have reported a tighter draw but with a 13mm dia ego adapter I find that the draw is quite good because the slots are fully exposed even including the bottom end..

As it happens I ordered 2 adapters purely because of propensity to lose things, so I'll try the both together. I don't know which ones they are except they've got the washer on them, I couldn't see them in HC's pics. Perpy will know EDIT - 2 adapters makes no difference, empty vape, no sign of life
