Is it wrong that I want a Penelope now just so I can follow blakey's tutorial?

Hope everything works out for you Esme x

Thanks jax

No its not wrong, you will prob have a better time fixing it up than me lol

I am sure fate is conspiring against me this week lol, yes the spacer ring is missing.

Blakey, anyone......... what size o ring will I need or can I get a spacer from a DIY store??

I will email Cam to see when he will be getting any in but need something in the meantime

Brilliant Blakey . . . you're a gem for taking the time to do this, for all of us.

When we've got our Esme up and running, what I'll do is move your wonderful posts onto a thread of their own and put them into Tips and Tricks as a sticky.

Or, I could do that now, if everyone would find it useful to have Blakey's posts seperated out from our chat as it would make them a bit easier to find?

Your best bet is probably to go somewhere like the Pound shop/B&Q and get a mixed selection of o rings Esme . . . the spacer is about the same size as the small one that you've got for the bottom of the post.

Although not quite so deep?

Thanks to Blakey's fantastic tutorial, Penelope is up and vaping like a train.

Just one minor thing I'm not too happy about with it. After using a DCT for so long, it seems strange not knowing how much juice I have left. Just having to wait till it tastes crap to know it needs filling will take some getting used to. Great vape though.

I went with the standard wick for this first time. I'll the Blakey special next time

Brilliant news Steve.

You can always get a clear tank for Penelope from Kir Fanis, I haven't bothered this time as I rather like the all SS appearance, but his tanks are beautifully made.

Perpy thanks, no I dont think it is as deep, it looks like the same size depth wise as the spacers on Pandora bracelets, will check when I'm in town tomorrow, there's a Poundshop and a good DIY place there

[maccafan]

Try any local RC model shops near you..They'll probably have proper delrin spacers that'll fit..

Perfect

Just sent him a message. I really like the SS with the nice logo as well, but the clear tubes will be handy to have.

Thirsty little beasty

may be worth leaving it here for a bit perpy, at least till esme has got herself sorted, at the moment she knows exactly where it is
Glad it's helped so many people though

[Perpetua]

I'll do that then Blakey, have made myself a note of what page they're on so I can extract them for a future sticky . . . thank you so much again for taking the time to do this.

You get plenty of warning when the juice is about to run out steve and you'll know long before the wick burns
I have KirFanis's clear tanks here and they are of a superb quality but penelope doesn't look quite the same without her SS dress

Nice Blakey nice.

Scotts videos are great obviously, (and Is nice to see his new teeth and all). but I suspect a fair few people won't need to keep hitting that rewind button like I did! Detailed photos are something i thought about but lack the know how. You filled that gap brilliantly.

[Globalbloke (Tim)]

Oh Sh** I just stuck some vapour juice American red in at 24mg with a 5mm wick and I'm in heaven, this little so and so is amazing.... I'm beyond loving this!!

[Ellen]

I'm a little envious of you Tim, you're obviously very good at this, you're getting Penelope vaping brilliantly.
By tomorrow, I will have new wick & ceramic, planning on making a 5mm wick, now have a multimeter to check coils and know how to check and hopefully perfect the draw before I fill the tank up, so fingers crossed I will finally get to fully experience penelope's greatness tomorrow

[jayjay]

Ellen, Out of interest do you initially drop an o ring into the ceramic, then drop your nut ontop of the o ring and then pop the pin through? I tried it like in the videos without that o ring sat in the bottom of the ceramic and I found a loose draw on my
Then from the other side I have it just like the video so I use 2 o rings and 1 spacer.
Also, I have my pin popping out instead of 1mm like Scott says, I have mine popping out maybe 5 mm and I can get it real tight. So tight I have to reduce the tightness slightly. Unsure if it in any way is similar to the lady.

And your gonna put together a 5mm wick? 5mm! Blimey, Wick size keeps going up. I wonder if you could mount a lillet?!
