Hey Tel!
Have you tried a Ni build in a KF4?
Was thinking of trying today but thought i'd ask first.
I have read it's not great because of flucuating readings,but i have upgraded the springs in both of mine.

No upgraded spring, Infinite KF4 on Yihi SX Mini with 0.06 ohm Ni-200 - no problems whatsoever, was built on 3rd May and is on it's 4th tankful (Bell tank) of my Capella Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy (last of the 10ml that I made, so now going to have to make up some more).

Can't remember which size wire I used but probably 28 AWG 5/4 wraps @ 2.5mm dia

I pinned them round both posts on each side so making sure that the contacts were good.

o_O How many wraps?
5/4 George :lol:
All that is, if you are unaware is, when you wrap a coil if you looked at it from the top you would see 5 turns, but at the bottom you would see 4. It`s just because your leads are on opposite ends. Hope that makes sense, if not bob can explain.:laugh:

What was that Bob, .05/.06?

As Terry said 5/4, when you have the legs on the same side you would have 4 wraps, but then to get one leg on the other it is 5/4 wraps, so what you do is 4 wraps then bring the wire round another half wrap to get it on the other side, that's for 0.06 ohm with 28g wire and 2.5mm diameter

:laugh: ....you know what I think I was doing: trying to pull the metal cage down & out rather than the glass! :facepalm: Next time I think a bit of investigation/seal changing is necessary, I'll try that!
Glad to help, when you put it back together twist the glass back on to the cage- it helps to stop the seals getting pushed out of place :thumb:

All just within regulations, no doubt!
Does well to bear in mind just who is looking out for your wellbeing.

I could go on a rant about the regulations, but it won't change anything :(

Unless idly rich, it's one of life's misfortunes! :laugh:

I can always dream of the option not to work :laugh:


I do like the look of the black v2 versions. I've saved them in my wishlist for future reference :D


There are far more costly obsessions! :)
I got a bargain this weekend: a late Ming small oil/wine vessel for under £10! ...will be nice to use in a piece of work!

She's proper high maintenance my Missus :laugh:

That is a good buy Trisha. Great to pick up a bargain.

Sorry, but they are coming to spain with me. :laugh:

Kinky :laugh::laugh::laugh:



Thanks Ian, see you when i get home. :)

I bet you can't wait. No holidays for us this year. We're having new front and back doors fitted instead. That's costing a few quid, so holidays will have to wait for next year.

No wonder I couldn't get it to budge! I'll try to remember to twist it when I put it back together again ...why are things always easier to dismantle than re-build :laugh: ...although in my case, I haven't had much success yet dismantling it! :facepalm:

I could go on a rant about the regulations, but it won't change anything :(
Aint that the way of most things!

I can always dream of the option not to work :laugh:
Yes, you can dream........

I have lots of things in mine :rolleyes: :lol:

Anyone with the means can pay full price for things - getting something for a good price, especially something unusual, is rather satisfying!

That is a good buy Trisha. Great to pick up a bargain.
It is - it's tiny compared to a large one I have, and I'd never seen one of it's type that small before.
Won't mention the finishing price of the Chinese vase I didn't get - was way off the mark with that one!

Probably me being slow,but i've only just noticed the price match function at FT.Has it always been there? :unsure:
And the other thing you can have your parcels marked with an alternative sender,a Mr Chen.

Must admit I've never noticed it either...

No bulk order - got plenty of these things, and not even that sure I want/need to use TC for a lot of the time.
Definitely don't want to know any company that aren't 'excellent'.
I see a UK site lists them: Eleaf iStick TC40w – Temperature Control | Realvapes.co.uk

Must admit I've never noticed it either...
When I saw the original post, I meant to go and look - I've never noticed it. ...and why the need for 'Mr Chen' :unsure:

They went on my "DO NOT USE AGAIN" list first before GearBest
'Nuff said! :thumb:
