The Erlkönigin : PICTORIAL

[roxynoodle]

I don't even have the afc ring . Not that its off; I don't have it.

But, even if I did have one, it wouldn't be on. I have tried using tissue to block the airholes, but hard to get a good seal. So if I use a metal tip needle bottle I can usually have it filled in about 4s.

If your wick shoulders are broad and puffy enough to somewhat "seal" against the inner bell of the chimney, the airflow shouldn't matter. I've never closed the AFC (removed now anyway) to fill it. Too much fiddling, and I like to keep the ErlK on my device so I can take that first toot immediately after filling it. Q's "bowtie" wick is usually how I cut it......although for me it helps to gently fluff the wick ends upward a bit, so they pass just above the "arches", right before I make the final snips. I let the scissors rest against the arches at a ~60deg angle and snip, then push the wick ends back down into place. This usually results in full fat shoulders that extend out far enough to do the sealing but still only drop the scantest bit of fluff down into the vertical course of the channels. Additionally, if I'm using 70%VG juices, I usually omit the FlutterRing during reassembly.

Uploaded a 'Dripper' review today

 

[roxynoodle]

I plan to get the A-t. I'll have to watch your video on the dripper as well. A-t is probably my next purchase when I can afford to.

I want a Flash e vs as well.

I would say something but I'm having the best vape of my life with my erlp, 4 day old rayon wick and 2 week old titanium coil.

Ohhh life is so good

Sorry Rant Time:

There's something wrong about the new ECF. It seems to be unattractive and boring to me. The 'look' is dated, fonts are skimped, notifications are sparse, searching is cumbersome, wasted screen space AND comments / posts enclosures are horrible.

Besides, I also have to reduce the brightness of my screen everytime I switch from other sites to ECF now

I believe it is more intended / intuitive for mobile browsers now (is it?) ~ but hey, there are plentiful folks who still use a computer (like me) for visiting forums and uploading / downloading ~ this 'new format' is not at all PC / Mac friendly for the purpose.

Overall this is becoming a daunting and unexciting experience to come to ECF, unlike before. The charm is lost. The fun is gone - and by God it was some serious funtime being on ECF before(!) - not any more. I am in fact, unintentionally, avoiding to visit ECF threads now ~ and that is strange for me.

Is it just me?

Humans are good at four things: pattern recognition, screwing other humans, adaptability and habit forming.

You're reacting to a big change in the way this forum is used. It's normal. Most will hate it in the first couple of days but they will adapt.

Personally I hate being without Tapatalk but hey, you guys are worth the added hassle to keep track of this forum through a mobile browser so I adapt.

Cheer up

Tony

I'm used to this software from another forum, so I like it.

Is it easier for a tablet? Maybe. I haven't had a desktop for a year now.

 

[Pardoz]

Is it just me?

It's not just you. But hey - it's not just broken on the desktop, it's broken on phones, too (if you're using Tapatalk, anyway).

Hopefully things will improve as they get the kinks out.

I don't know if I'm good at the second thing, in the literal sense, but I try and practice my craft as much as possible.

I actually was referring to screwing in a bad sense and not the 50 shade one

I knew that Tony, why I used the literal sense. In a figurative sense, as you invented, I can say I don't do that to others though...but I agree, many humans are indeed good at it.

I'm still looking for a P3 connector on the Erlkonigin!

I practice a lot when I'm alone.

Good call

@qorax they're working on a darker/lower contrast theme for the forum, so in a while people like you and I won't be blinded by all the whiteness. lol

Before going to my Posts/ my threads in the drop down from the left corner made it easy to follow what I wanted. This is a real chore just trying to search/find my threads I enjoy posting in now. I hear your frustration Q. It isn't the joy it was trying to navigate on ECF now. Just finding this thread was a headache now.

 

[qorax]

Btw, my review (and Bowtie Wick setup) of the ErlprinZ will be up on Youtube by tomorrow morning

Try swinging a golf club for the first time.

Or the 10,000 time for that matter.

Give it 5 days and this will all be second nature to ya. And you won't even remember what the old forum looked like. Humans adapt.

Spoke with Dusty right after they came back online. The software guys didn't import the previous forum default styles. The last time they changed the format I could still default to the original style. No such luck this time. He had mentioned the darker format in the future as the other option.
