My goodness, but tanks can be a pain sometimes!
For those who know me, you will know that I am fundamentally a Reo user but I have two tanks in daily use as well - mainly for squonkless mindless relaxed vaping at the computer. The Lemo1 and the Lemo2.
Well last night, I had an episode of note!
I pitstopped the Lemo1. Put in a new Rayon wick because the old one was starting to underperform (after about 16ml of juice). Then I refilled with my "Strawberry Ice".
Something was not right.
Some puffs felt overpowered and others felt muted. Oh no, I thought my Sig100+ was on the blink because the ohms was fluctuating. I have a 1.2 ohm coil in there but the ohms said 1.5 - then a minute later 2.5 - and then 5 ohms! - and then back to 2 ohms.
I knew something could be wrong with the coil but it looked perfect when I rewicked. Now to open it up. I wasn't looking forward to this.
So now the sticky fingers part starts. Trying to get to the coil and salvage the juice is not easy. I managed to save about half of the tank. But there was juice everywhere and I probably used nearly half a roll of toilet paper trying to wipe up my hands and the parts as I took it apart. There was juice on all my tools and even an hour later I discovered some more juice spills in other places. What a pain!
I discovered that one of the post screws was not tight. So I tightened it and made sure the coil was in position and then re-assembled and refilled. Voila - it was all fixed.
But the point I am making is that these type of tanks can really be a pain sometimes.
To be fair, I am thankful this doesn't happen too often. And I still love the Lemo1 for its sharp flavour on this juice. But I was so frustrated last night I nearly chucked it in the bin! Lol.
Perhaps the lesson here is when one is rewicking and everything is open - just check that the coil is tightened. That was the mistake I made.
