Unfortunately, I think @DabComa's comment that putting a wick or cotton below the coil will only manage to restrict airflow is probably correct. Not sure it would help stop the leaking anyway. Let us know, I'd love to be wrong. (Actually, I'd love that it wasn't needed because there was no...
I suspect your harshness is only indirectly caused by the gauge of the wire. I think it's more likely caused by the resistance you end up with. If you could wrap four more coils (without them shorting to each other), and bring the resistance up to the 2.0Ω range, you might find that the...
I'm with you; let me know when you get Buddytech (or anyone else) to make one. Until then, for my Pure Gold needs (or any liquid that's no thicker than Pure Gold), nothing beats the GotVapes Sapphire for its combination of convenience of filling, absence of leaking, ease of travel, ability to...
PG (for me) is more uplifting than couch-locking. If used judiciously, it's suitable for a work environment. But there's only one way to tell; invest the $30 and buy a half gram. :)
If the wick is truly gone from the coil, the atty may still work OK for dabs, but keep in mind that a wickless...
I have high hopes that the mini PT3 won't suffer from leaks, but I've read the reports on all the other versions of the PT too, and that's why I'm gonna try them with thick e-juice loads first before I put concentrate based loads in. Still, a leaky mess is a leaky mess, even if it doesn't have...
You may get yours before I get mine. :) slowtech tracking shows mine still somewhere betweeen China and the USPS. :(
I think I'm gonna just play with mine (and the recoiling, etc) with some pure VG and pure PG that I have before I start running precious ejmix diluted concentrates through them...
@fernand: I haven't seen any of the 3Ω joye atty's, just the 2.2Ω versions. So I don't know if their internal construction is the same. Removing the bridge assembly in the 2.2Ω version has been a piece of cake for me; I grab the tip of the bridge with a needle nose pliers and just pull straight...
A 1.3Ω coil with a 4.0V source will draw 3.08 amps.
A 1.8Ω coil with a 4.0V source will draw 2.22 amps.
Now the battery will actually only be able to supply 4.0V for maybe a minute or two before that kind of load will cause it's voltage to drop below 4.0V, and indeed, most of the time the...
Umm, neither 1.2V or 3.0V are the proper charge voltages for an 18650. I don't know what kind or model of charger you're using, but if your message info is correct, you shouldn't use that charger with those batteries. Maybe if you tell us what charger you have, we can give you a more specific...
Warning: This message is really long, and might ramble a little...
I prefer a short barrel 510 atty, because having a barrel allows me to load more than just the small dab that can fit entirely in the ceramic cup. This works better with non-gooey concentrates, such as wax, but even with tar...
I leave the battery on and since I vape nic via e-juice, I also have an identical rig with e-juice, and a couple of small bottles of e-juice and assorted accessories that make up my "kit".

@Alevin: I've been experimenting with a number of different non-rebuildable atty's that are suitable for use on a thin (16mm) eGo style battery. (Not that they won't work on a monster). My needs were something that would work just fine at 10 Watts or less, and...
I have V4's here but I never remove the Sapphire from the battery, except when I'm changing batteries. Maybe that's the clue? Try leaving the battery on all the time and see if that "fixes" things for you.
Wrong thread. I'll answer you in the correct one, and flag you with an @Alevin so you...
It doesn't seem like a battery "problem" if just removing and reinserting the fill plug fixes the problem every time. And since it's happened in the past to you, I doubt it's a defective Sapphire clearo (unless maybe they were all from the same shipment). I'm assuming that you're talking about...
I only occasionally get the vacuum lock. Once or twice maybe per Pure Gold load. Certainly not every time. As Choppa asked, what battery and voltage are you using? I run my voltage pretty low, at 3.5 volts, as higher voltages kill my lungs with Pure Gold.
My standard routine with undiluted Pure...
Thanks for the info, I'll let you know what the story is these days, as I ordered the XC-116 from RBA and the XC-132 from SnG. (Neither had both thicknesses). Still tracking the slooowwww process of getting the Mini ProTank III's from China; the ceramic wicks are really for them.
@2clicker @walrus
If you're into micro coils, you might want to check out some of the XC-132, which is half the thickness of the XC-116, and fits nicely into a coil wound on a 1/16" form (drill bit or screwdriver shaft, etc.).
(btw, if you're gonna play with the ceramic woven insulation...
Glad you discovered the "trick" to fixing the vapor lock in Sapphire clearos. I think it's been mentioned a number of times in this thread. When my Sapphire's start to vapor lock, I've found that simply removing and reinserting the plug is enough, and I usually go a number of days before having...
