    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    I just learned something. I took apart my switch to give a good "Bag 'o Donuts" cleaning and I noticed that the magnet that was stuck to the button was slightly off center. I removed it and re-attached it dead center. When I re-assempled the switch, instead of using a flat head screwdriver to...

    Well I've found my perfect vape .......................... about twenty times in the last three years! I can assure you, it will never end.

    I find it a bit harder to get the ribbon attached to the posts also. I was thinking how easy it would be if each post was a vertical clip of some kind that you could just slip the ribbon into without having to change the axis.

    The last two sub 1.0Ω coils I've wrapped (ribbon) both showed me the same "1" when initially tested on the same ohm meeter that AG used. Not 1.0 but just 1. I put the Did on my Poldiac and fired it anyways and it worked fine, but when I put the Did back on the ohm meter it read 0.85 and showed...

    While I was watching AG was trying to make a new coil/setup but kept blowing the coil. He had a hard short somewhere. I didn't stick around too long so maybe there's more to the story.

    About DiD postal over a hot top coil!

    One thing I see that may be causing the hot top coil is that the whole coil seems to be leaning away from the positive post which will result in too great a distance from the top coil to the post which usually results in that top hot spot. Undo the positive connection and pull everything as...

    That sucks Classy! In the back of my mind (there's plenty of room there!) I'd still be thinking that it's hiding somewhere in my house. Probably drive me crazy, or crazier!

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    That's what they say it is. I've never actually measured it. The D20 is 3.5mm but the Mini is 2.8mm. That was the main selling point for me.

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I thought the wick hole was 3mm, am I mistaken? I know that the DID's wick hole is 3.5mm so the AC9 is larger?

    The 0.24mm ribbon I'm using is 8.93Ω per foot. I think Tony is using 0.31mm ribbon which is 5.57Ω per foot. Also, the D20 has a wider wick hole than the Gemini so the coils are wider.

    I just had an "Genesis Epiphany" of my own! I've been wrapping 4/3 coils forever with either 28awg or 0.24mm ribbon kanthal and getting a consistent 1.1Ω. While the vape would blow my socks off with a freshly charged battery, when it got down to 3.6 to 3.7v it just wasn't good enough so I'd...

    Ken, make sure you are using very hot water. I get my foil lined cup ready with the baking soda, then I microwave a couple of ounces of water in a mug for 45 seconds and pour it in. Hot water is VERY important! It sounds like you don't really have any tarnish on the parts though because they...

    Well I finally received my ribbon Kanthal today. Made a wick and here are my initial observations. I used Kanthal D Ribbon 0.6*0.1mm / .024*.004 which is supposed to have approximately the same resistance per foot as 30awg Kanthal. Did a 4/3 wrap and ended up with 1.2Ω. My normal setup is 5/4...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    Concerning the XC and XS Sleeves. I've used the XS (silica) sleeves but stopped for two reasons. First, you need to either put them into a kiln or torch them for a LONG time to burn off the sizing (I'm not sure that's what it is, but there is definitely something on it). Secondly, I found that...
