Makes sense since the o-ring will not allow any air to pass through between the PNP ridge and the glass gong so all the air will be going through the bullet and heating chamber.

I just ordered myself some hxtal. It is a special glass like epoxy resin, that dries clear and remains clear as glass, is heat resistant to unknown temperatures, is designed for glass repairs and restoration work (and is safe to eat off and vape through!). I am gonna use it to fix what seems like a tiny hairline crack in my Luke Wilson 15 arm tree, but am thinking I could use this to first coat the PonG sheathe I used for my custom Gong, then to give an airtight seal between the Glass gong piece into the newly 'glassified' PonG sheathe. Will post results if/when I try!

If it's anything like what I did as my first ever mod to my PonG, it'll be sick!
I took a silicone gasket and put it around a tiny glass tube I had, basically an MFLB stem. It just went down and flushed with the screen though, so a lot of the heat still hit the plastic
edit: I'll also add that I just thought of revisiting an idea someone else in here already kinda tried.. I think- which is having a stem that has a stainless steel chamber on the end that can fit into the bullet, and then a log-style stem above that snugs into what I call the "collar" of the PnP, and either tapers off or goes into glass or what have you

Hopefully the new glass pong will still have one?

Ecig tank, or you could try a simple Silicone whip. I'll probably buy a couple spares for my Buddha, so I can also cut slivers and help out my buddies with their PnP's
Hi everyone.
I'm kind of new to this vape-world. But I've ended up with problems with my new Pinnacle Pro.
Yesterday it worked fine and today when I try to start it only loops through the blue lights over and over. I've tried to restart it 20 times and when I try to charge it continuously loop through the blue lights. Anyone that's got an idea?

Welcome.
Contact who you bought it from as you have an electronics issue. I had the exact same thing and it was replaced without question.
Sorry to hear of your problem and hope it all works out for you.

I had similar issues when I first got mine but TRVB customer service helped me out quick with a replacement, I get confused by the people who say their emails aren't replied to as Eric always responded to mine within a day or less, maybe folks with problems should check spam/junkmail filter?
Anyways, I almost think this battery issue is more widespread than the melting PonGs

I'm so glad I checked this thread out, I had no idea there were issues with these pinnacle pros.
Guess I'll wait for a revised version with glass mouthpiece etc.
imho this thing has the potential to be the "mack daddy" of portables, if they just sort out the issues.

I've spoke to yoyokid, his standards for exchange will be the same as ours, and he will have the parts as soon as we get the o rings (tomorrow hopefully) than we will be able to ship around 40 replacements a day. Once all claims are processed we will put the part up for sale for $14.99 I hope

Cool. I don't actually need a replacement (my PONGS are fine so far) but I definitely want to purchase one anyway.

Thanks TRVB! My PNP MP should be to you tomorrow. It made it to Santa Clarita today…
Will post pictures and review your GonG once I get it...
Question regarding the @Engineering GonG, will it survive direct long ISO soaks? There are many on the forum that believe your PES is not surviving long ISO soaks. I have not tested this myself, so I can’t comment/confirm…
Like @Reveen, no PonG issues and I have almost 1 month intensive abuse. Just the MP issue after 1 week. Exchange or not, $14.99 is a steal! Again THANK YOU!!!!
To continue the BarnBoy series, today I have hopefully something you all will enjoy. I didn’t see this in the PNP manual (@mack7one – will try to post a photo of the manual for you) or on the forum so I hope this is the first post of this feature. It really seems simple/stupid but I find it very handy. Have you ever just wanted to jump directly to setting 3 and not wait for the battery level indicator to time out? How about you back-to-back session heads; wouldn’t you like to get back to that killer session with your mates as fast as you can? Well here is how! The following steps should be sequential and relatively fast paced. The below assumes unit is not plugged in and charging… (if plugged in, step 2 does not exist)
1. Press/release button to turn on PNP
2. Press/release button to bypass battery level screen enter Level 1
3. Press/release button to enter Level 2
4. Press/release button to enter Level 3
Yes, stupid! But how many of you really knew you could bypass that battery level indicator and sat there waiting???
More to come!

I bought one before TRVB made his killer offer. I will let you all know very soon as I got a shipping notice from Andy at Epic today for a 1-3 day first class delivery on my Adjust-A-Bowl 14mm GonG (http://www.epicvape.com/accessories..._aromatherapy_botanicals_herbal/adjust-a-bowl). My plan of record is to modify the clear PonG that came with the PNP WT for use with the Epic (TBD once Epic GonG arrives). Then eventually buy an @Engineering GonG when available and post answer to question. I plan to continue the PNP PonG as I believe the real issue is with cleanliness. Every damaged unit photographed on this forum is coated with gunk. I know from combustion daze that my glass pipes would burn fingers when dirty. The PNP doesn’t need total breakdown and clean like my buddies PAX, but it does require some post use PM. Maybe another BarnBoy series…
Anyway, here are some crappy shots of the manual that came with my PNP…

@coflycasr - I measured my bullets empty at 1.3 grams and 1.5 grams packed full. You can always pack less. This has been recommended by others and I agree when I just need a little night cap...

Preventative Maintenance of the Pinnacle Pro presented by the one and only Barn Boy.
Can't wait!
The continuous improvement of PNP provided by VB is amazing, especially when you compare it to the features of the PN OG.
I agree with BB too, we all need to keep our precious PNP's well maintained.
Just like anything else we own.

I've never waited for the battery indicator to catch up. I've always just cycled straight to the level I wanted. I thought this was the norm.

I take it you didn't see my damaged and spotless pong? Some of us clean freaks have had dodgy pongs too!I bought one before TRVB made his killer offer.

This exchange thing is nice, but I am from europe. Sending my PonG back over the pond has a high potential of ending ... very unpleasant. Sent them a mail about it, will report when I get an answer.
In case I missed a post that would answer my question, just proceed to mush my face into it. Thanks!

Oh Jesus, I hadn't even thought of that! @TherealVaporblunt we need to have the option of not sending used pong's back when we live in a country where that could have major issues such as the above post refers to!
