Thanks for the tip autumntwist32 , but that was one of the things I checked first & it is in place...........




"Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!"

OK, so before I bin this much praised item, I will seek some final advice...........Having exhausted blakey 's limited patience ( & knowledge... ), I thought I'd throw this out to the general (e-gripe owners) public...........

Since getting it out of the box, filling it up & attempting to vape on it, I've had nothing but grief....I first used the stock coil & wick that it came supplied with.....on firing it up, I got loads of crackling (sounded more like a car backfiring)& juice pouring out of the air control (where you adjust the screw).....firing it up involved holding it at arms length to avoid the spitting, whilst pressing the fire button, waiting for it to settle down a bit & then taking my life in my own hands by attempting to draw on it........Having given up on that little episode, I decided to strip the supplied head & coil & wick it myself, to no avail..............same problems......I tried adjusting airflow (which involved getting covered in yet more juice) & adjusting the wattage.........

Thinking that maybe the supplied heads were crap, I decided to try the rebuildable base which I also invested in (at 10 squids a pop).........This came with a fitted coil & wick, so I tried that first..........Success insofar as no juice leaking from the air control, but then, obviously it wouldn't, as the rebuildable base renders the air control obsolete.......instead, however, the juice pisses out of the bottom of the base, along with a puff of red hot vapour........I have whacked plenty of the "Vietnamese Nylon" into the coil & have even tried covering all 4 air holes in the atty head with the stuff, to further prevent said leakage.......again, to no avail........The E-Gripe is now sporting a piece of bog roll, tucked into the silicone cover of the mod (which I also purchased as an added extra), covering the leaking base of the rebuildable & preventing more of the 15ml of juice already wasted,covering everything in sight......it looks not unlike the comic strip captions often seen of a lady exiting the public convenience with a trail of toilet paper hanging from her knickers & following in her wake.........







I have contacted Extra Vapour regarding my predicament, asking for a replacement, but have yet to receive a reply from them.....Hopefully this will change by the end of the day........

So, my question to all you E-Gripe owners is:............"Any ideas, before it gets lobbed out of my bedroom window, to join the growing pile of mods adorning the lawn, that have also given me the severe hump?"

Thank you very muchly...................

Talking of the poor, suffering passenger, is Matt going this year, or has he come to his senses?......

Bring a cow............you'll have room on the passenger seat.........She can read the map too, as I know from experience your directional bent is somewhat suspect to say the least..............

very true jeffc............but what I do, is move the dropper away from the hole after squeezing & then fill again, that way, avoiding any air..............

Wearing an AAEC badge not only promotes the forum, but, with the addition of the wigwam, luxury marquee, pokey old tent this year,also enables fellow members to identify each other & has proved very popular so far............To view an example of one of these sought after & exclusive one off items, please see below.............
