FYI - Protected CR2s

[ALUCARD]

Just an FYI, some of the protected CR2s (madvapes) require you to use thicker o-rings for the Midi Mako to work. I got some thicker o-rings (same size as 4 of the o-rings provided with the Mako) and it's working fine, but thought I would let you know.

Need to find some smaller OD ones, but these work and were available at walmart.

Hi Alucard,

Yes some protected versions of batteries are longer than others so this is the solution and nice job in finding some that will fit!

We will also be stocking some thicker o-rings for anyone who would like to purchase some at a later date....

Thanks Tim!

4 O-rings? Mine only came with 2!

I think he meant a pair of thicker o-rings he used is equivalent to 4 o-rings that come with the Mako kit.

I hope Tim would add 2 more thicker o-rings in the kit so you can mix and match. I have to keep either the atomizer or the adapter loose so it would not fire up the atty. Its fine when Im not moving but when Im walking, the atomizer wiggles as my hand is not so stable holding the mako into my mouth. I only use the batteries that came with it. Still looking where to get a thicker o-rings that would fit the Mako.

Let us know if you find a source.

Tim mentioned the following in another thread:

...As with other devices there is a small learning curve, video's posted mention finger tight assembly of the parts but as everyone has different strengths for me it is feather tight. When first assembling I found due to overtightening would make the atty be permanently connected and firing. Even with it at feather tight there is not much tolerance left for the switch, then again this is such a small gripe and after 10 mins toying around I found the perfect tightness, perhaps adding an extra O-ring to the 2 would help people at the initial assembly to avoid any confusion ?

So I guess when you buy a kit now you'll get an extra o-ring. Thanks Tim!
