Miss Penelope

[blakey]

Ok, then -as promised

This is the tank on penelope

Tim hit the nail on the head when he said it makes it look cheaper somehow
But I really can't deny the quality of it. It's a big plus for any that love to see how much juice is in the tank
It comes in a tad wider than the original penelope tank, probably for strength issues, but is the same height. This tank has the top threaded section made from metal and the threads are superb. Penelope's o-rings provide the seals so all in all, performance wise they are as good as penelope's metal tank

It looks a little better on a twist


But as you can see, side by side there is no comparison
Vapes exactly the same regardless of the tank that's fitted mind you

The original odysseus took on a nice improvement with the addition of a clear tank

from this



to this



Tim said above that he would get one anyway and to be honest, so would I even after seeing these pics
There's something nice about seeing the inner workings of your device actually at work

i may be the only one but i dont like the clear tubes i love the stainless steel ...shiney, shiney i also love the clear ring you get in the Odysseus upgrade kit ...now if Kir did those i would be all over it

Cheers for the pics - I think if I had been making them I would have had the threads covered with metal just leaving the middle section visible, I think it's the cloudy threads showing that makes it look cheaper. Saying that I still want one

your spot on Tim... thats why i like the clear ring Imeo made for the upgrade kit... it gives you a window into the juice so you can tell when you are running low but keeps the threads covered

Now that would be classy
maybe Imeo has that in mind for a future upgrade
I live in hope

Haven't tried it in a mesh hybrid set up yet though.........
Maybe worth a go

Yeah, a mesh hybrid should reduce burning considerably..

Ok, completed one hybrid set up with a cotton wick, not over struck on it but most mesh set ups take a bit of time to bed in. Took 3 attempts cos the mesh was too tight and strangling the wick or too loose and not feeding the coils This ones working as it should though
I'll see if the flavour improves by tomorrow

Does it not seem strange to anyone that the latest batch of Penelope hasn't sold out yet?I thought these products sell out super fast, are very limited and that's why people can justify reselling them on the classifieds for ridiculous prices?

Not really, imeo promised enough to go round this time and that's what we seem to have got. You can bet your ass though that when this batch is gone it'll be quite a while before any more are available.

Thanks Blakey

I just hate you guys..
You forced me into buying....
I s'pose my consolation is that Steve and Bel and Tim and collie live close enough to tutor me, if I asked them really nicely...

Well we hate you too, you just bought a penelope and deprived somebody that doesn't whinge so much the chance to own one

All the help you need is on the end of a PM

And whilst I'm here, an update on this escapade in the quotes above
I'm not overly impressed I have to confess, the flavour just doesn't seem to want to come through with this hybrid set up, It's wicking just fine and certainly not burning but it's just.... well... not happening for me The standard wick set up works much better for cocomel, of course it may just be this particular juice, I don't really rate cocomel through a mesh wick, it somehow over purifies the taste if that makes sense
One for the experience and back to fibre wick for me

I can't see the nickel-only 0.2 wire on ukwire - am I missing something or has it all gone?

It looks to be out of stock but the silver wire here wires.co.uk/acatalog/E-CIG_IATTY_ATOMIZER_WIRE.html will do the trick just nice
