Handchecks (2020 - 2021)

ok. i filled it most of the way. have the juice flow open 1/2, it took some juice in. i took a hit after a lil wait, seemed a lil dry. so i opened the juice flow all the way, it sucked all the rest in asap.
i’m getting a few hits off it and its not leaking WooHoo !

now, the juice flow, i have it 1/2. what should i be looking for in adjusting it ?

side note. these Trantors are pretty nice mods. if i had known, i would have got at least 3 more.

Hey that is great it is working now. As far as how open the JFC should be, just trial and error really as all builds/wicking etc are different.

Those Trantors, I saw them. All they had were the bronze, but I got 2 of them. They are nice and solid. Thank goodness you can shut the lights off. I always see them on you tube or wherever and think oooohhh pretty, I get it and that wears off after about 5 min lol

I’m sorry @jinx_d I forget what I know, not everyone knows LOL. I can’t TELL you how many SteamCraves (and others) I’ve completely DUMPED.

Oh, I will mention that looking at your build that seems to be an awful lot of wick but if it is working then don’t change it :slight_smile:

i’m running on the wild side = i have it all the way open, lol. the wicking does look heavy, my way of caution, but its still working. only a slight bit coming from somewhere underneath, i will replace all of the o-rings on the next rewick.

the lights, yeah, lol. i kind of like them, the bling makes me feel like i got more for my money, lol. i need help :joy:

i’ve been vaping 2 1/2 years, and i am still learning how to wick. for about a year i didn’t use any tanks at all because of it. now, i am finding i need much less tails than i had been using.

Well I didn’t want to say anything, as you seemed to have it working. That one pic DID look a little tail heavy.

All the way back to my very FIRST SteamCrave, I was told by the owner of the Vapor Depot, “Fluff the tails, never stuff the tails”.

yeah, i have always fluffed, but now i am fluffing even more, and cutting them shorter. not only that, but i have always followed common advice = pack the coil fairly tight = up to, but don’t rip the coils out. now i am packing the coils less. seems to be working for me.

Ya, I get you on the better safe than sorry, especially since you had some trouble with it leaking. I’m happy it is working for you now.

i just thought = how many of these were thrown in the trash because the owners couldn’t get em to stop leaking. i bet a lot.

Hi all, I can’t seem to start a new post so please forgive me for posting here but I am searching for some info from REAL users NOT reviewers or Yihi directly as I truly do not trust them.

Here is what I am looking for. If anyone has or did have one of those SX auto squonk mods, I would like to know if that auto squonk feature did in fact work well. I thought way back I had read someone saying it never would sense the wicks getting dry, so it really didn’t function well at all. Yihi is saying they have fixed this and I would like to know if it is in fact true. I don’t trust them at all. I trust people here!

Thanks for any help and info and maybe I haven’t posted enough to be able to start a new thread, so again sorry for posting this here but I figured most everyone that is active will see it here, maybe?

That does look cool :sunglasses:. It leaks around the 510?

Had my Zeus mesh tank for less than a week and broke the bubble glass. Had to use the spare and one of my old ELR bands. Replacements on the way!

Thanx. inside the mod, under the 510, a seal and/or the hose clamp.

Knocked the mod over trying to reach something on my desk. Cut my finger up nicely trying to take it apart to remove the broken shards. Normally I’m much more careful, but I think I was having a case of brain farts.
