Yeup, I agree , james, the locking ring is ELAs "Achilles" heel. It gets very , very dirty. Im my case I have to clean it daily. I dont know why mine get so dirty. Probably from heavy usage, I mean heavy. I change out batteries so many times a day. I go thru 16 mls a day, at least. When I use mine in the 350 mode, it performs much better. I cant figure out why, maybe my tele tube is wearing? I can see a mark where the locking ring sits when in 490/500 mode. Ive been using my first one for almost a year ( 9 months)

I have a somewhat similar technique that I find works. Adjust top cap and pin to atty and when inserting the top tube, keep turning it slowly as I tighten the locking collar - helps to seat it. No issue with voltage drop as long as I remember to do that.
The battery may somehow be getting past the o-ring in the bottom. If it is just a hot button, no, but if it autofires then it is past the o-ring. Adjusting the center pin shouldn't be shorting the atomizer often (preferably never). As sturdy as the center pin assembly is - I don't know how the battery would really move it - I think it would crumple the battery before moving the center pin (I have some top dented batteries that...well...attest to this).
Hi SuperT fans I have an issue I purchased an ELA second hand which came with an extra set of SS accent rings. I tried to install them on the ELA and the bottom ring will not screw in all the way have tried WD40, washing etc with no luck.
Anyone have an issue like this and
What do you recommend?

What do you mean dirty? It might oxidize a little being Aluminum, but mine is also 9 months old and still functions perfectly..I doubt your Stainless Steel telescopic tube is wearing... Now on to the big question, how in the heck are you vaping 16ml a day? Are you sure your not drinking the stuff ???
I just recently changed out my ring. I don't really think it needed to be changed. Just wanted to.
I am an ELA slob. My ELAs have had slight wipe downs. They never had a bath.
But, I swear, they are not dirty. I don't know how many ml I vape a day. Just curious, does anyone know how many ml go into a KFL? I never measured it.
I think I do too. I don't think I totally fill my KFLs. When right-sided, they are filled to just slightly above the window. On my next fill, I will measure the juice. I typically go through two KFLs a day. Hmm..
I don't know why everyone does'nt DIY. cheaper and you can make juice as good if not better than you can buy(in most cases), & it is so cool when you come up with one of your ADV's. Avid, how do you measure your ingredients? Drops, syringes? I have converted to measuring by weight with a gram scale & it couldn't be easier. Also a a lot more accurate & less messy.

I really dont get too accurate. I make up two basic flavours. Main one is peppermint, real light. I get 100mg nic liquid and dilute it to a 6mg base of 50/50 PG-VG base, pour it in a 120ml bottle ( 100ml) and add 1.5 ml of Peppermint from TFA. The other is same base and add 3ml of half strawberry and pineapple with about 3 or so drops of Koolada for the cool feel. I have been making the flavours lighter and lighter each time. Im finding lately everything has too much taste. I will probably end up with no flavour eventually and saving more money and time.

I've tried DIY a few times over the years and had very mixed success. My problem now is that it's hard to get away from my ADVs

If you have flavours you Really Really enjoy, nothing wrong with buying them. I still keep 3 flavours on hand all the time. I just drip them now and a bottle lasts me so much longer. I keep my basic DIY for my basic daily chain vaping.
The only ones I buy now are Roar's Amnesia and Rasmataz (I may try a few others of theirs) because I don't think I can recreate them but for most vapes, I make up my own variants of Red Bull with Blueberry or other fruits.
I would need thousands of dollars worth of equipment and materials to DIY the juice I like.
Pretty much all I've vaped for two years is Aroma Ejuice's WTA juice, mostly a flavored one called G. I. Joe. Recently he (Jerry Green) has ramped up and refined production to the point he can sell unflavored 24mg WTA, it is phenomenal straight.
I've been to his lab twice; it takes considerable time, equipment and chemistry skill to extract nicotine and the minor alkaloids to the standard he sets.

Saw this for the 1st time today on the Super-T site and it really doesn't have much of a description besides it's name. If it's a non-locking switch, does it come w/ a stronger spring so it doesn't fire when stood on end?
