Questions from a newbie regarding cleaning coil units & heads

[danny4x4]

Now denture cleaner I can get. But I will have to see how long it extends their life and if it is worth the effort.

The other question I had besides cleaning heads was about the flooding problems with the CE5 after putting a new head on it (I tried 2 different heads, and they both did the same thing)

Did you remember to put the silicone/rubber cap back? When the cap is in place, there should be very little if any gaps between the wicks and the cap. Too big a gap and the liquid enters the centre tube...... too tight a fit and you'll have wicking problems.

Yes Danny I did. I just found a post about it being a not uncommon issue with the vivi nova. The suggestion was to insert a screwdriver into the wick slot and pry it out a little so that the silicone cap fits a little tighter. I am going to try that on one tomorrow.

Just posted the method here, though for a Kanger, just a couple things different with the CE5 being it is top coil, you just attach the atty to the atty stem and dry burn them. I wouldn't suggest isopropyl alcohol or anything medicinal, vodka, pure grain alcohol which can be everclear or even "moonshine", all consumable alcohol is ethanol basically not isopropyl.

Thank you for the link IMF - that was exactly what I was looking for. I will be trying that last one tomorrow.

SanAndreas,
A bit off topic, but I find stained glass intriguing.

Do you happen to also do the glass beads (lampwork I think it's called)?

If lead free I bet some amazing drip tips could develop out of the scrap bits of glass
