    TC Builds and Troubleshooting

    4 Springs should last you a while I hope. Do we have any idea what the life expectancy of these springs should be? I gotta say what's saved nickel building for me has been this tempered nickel. I'm using 30ga to keep my spaced coil sizes small, and my builds are very predictable and stable...

    I had or have the same issue. When I bought my Nautilus with the P3 base, I posted pictures in the P3 thread because the gap was so noticeable. I did buy the K4 P3 adapter and changed out the 510 adapter hoping for better luck. Didn't have it and took it right off. My K4 looks better on my P3...

    When I received my K4 from C9 last week, it was squeaky clean. It came with the gold spring but it wasn't installed. But I had major issues trying to get mine apart for the first time to clean it. In fact I came to you guys for help. Once I got it open, I just broke mine down to the basic 12...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    Well I've had my Squape R for a few weeks now and I'm still impressed. Great flavor and just super easy to build, and it's been exclusively nickel builds. I just ordered the black nano tank from VapeRev yesterday and should have it early next week.

    When I decided to purchase the K4 a few weeks ago all the goto U. S. vendors were out of stock so I went with Cloud 9 Vaping. I do love their site and they carry everything but it was an agonizing 2 weeks before I received my K4. And the tracking was a joke; the day it arrived at my house was...

    So I finally got my K4 all cleaned up, coiled and wicked and lets just say I'm glad I didn't start with this tank... OMG, but OMG it's amazing. I think I found my new favorite atti. The flavors incredible. Plus I think it's great for MTL hits. In fact I had to open it up a bit more because it...

    Morning sure comes early sometimes... It was hard putting the atti away last night without building it, but have it to look forward to after work tonight. I noticed when I was putting it back together that I chewed up the nut a bit and have a few scratches along the inside of the top cap from...

    I got it... Thanks guys! I stuck it in the freezer for 20 min, but it still took needle nose pliers and a lot of force to get that sucker off. Wow was it on there tight. Now I'm in fear of putting that sucker back on and not getting it off again. Have you all had trouble with it getting stuck...

    Is there a trick in removing the counter nut from the chimney? Is it reversed threaded or something? I've been trying to remove it for 20 min and having no luck. I've even grabbed some pliers and I still can't remove it. And I don't want to damage it with pliers but I'm at a loss. It come with...

    I just received my K4 from Cloud 9 Vaping tonight. In fact it's still in its box as I just got home from work and I'm getting ready to get it cleaned up so I can try it out. I've tried to read through a lot of this thread so I could get familiar with the K4. I too prefer MTL over DLH for many...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    So true about the 510 screw being messed up on the black R91, even with Kanthal. It's currently sitting on top of my P3 with 3 o-rings around the screw, trying to keep it stable. But I was totally thinking it was just my atti that was so screwed up. Sounds like maybe not.

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    It's sad and probably a little frustrating to some that the attis you listed to avoid with nickel are some of the more popular attis out there. How many of us have all those you listed lol. I know I do, and I totally avoid nickel on the R91 but using nickel micro coils on the Squape R is my...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    My first coil from yesterday was working great, but you know when you have something new, you want to try different builds on it. This is the easiest thing I've ever built on. This build is a spaced single strand 30ga nickel with a 3mm ID. The Squape makes working with Nickel so easy. I've tried...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    I guess I should have said that it has an ID of 3mm and it's placed in the channel with the cotton filling the channel, but it isn't compressed at all. And I cut the cotton right next to the deck, and it just barely hangs over the sides, but not down the sides at all. If that makes since.

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    Here's my first build I did yesterday on my new Squape. It's 28ga nickel and it's still performing great this morning. No flooding or dry hits. I'm pretty impressed with my first build. It usually takes me a time or two with a new tank. I just followed everyone's instructions from this thread...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I'm still playing around with different builds trying to find one I'm completely happy with. I'm trying different spaced coils right now, so my question is, in general, is it best to have the wraps as close as possible with out touching or spaced a little further apart for the best performance...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    I ordered my first Squape from VapeRev Friday and it'll be here tomorrow. I'm so glad VapeRev only ships with the wide deck now. Can't wait to try it with nickel on my Flask. Read through the entire thread trying to learn the best way to coil and wick the Squape. I'll be putting my skills to the...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    How is it wrapping with the Tempered nickel, do you notice a substantial difference from annealed as to how it wraps and holds up under use? Where did you find it and buy from, if I may ask?

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I've had my VaporFlask DNA 40 about 2 weeks and I've been doing the same thing as you, experimenting with different builds. I don't have a lot of different attis to build with, as I haven't been building to long, so it's been on my Russian 2.0, 91% and my Lemo Drop. Like you, I've had the...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I didn't dn't take it that way. But I never got the chance to check to see if they still carried it tonight. So would my 90% isopropyl work okay, is it different from hospital 90%? Do you rinse with water after, or it doesn't really matter?
