    Brushed Did clone?

    Risky business. Plating is extremely thin and could reveal the copper plated brass it's really made of. If you decide to risk it, I'd turn it in my hands or on a slow speed drill, touching it lightly with one of those green scotchbrite pads. That way it will remove a minimum amount of...

    Phoenix center post is driving me mad!

    Great idea, Randy! :toast: In the Phoenix, you'd have to work the floss around the center post while it's still assembled, which would be much, MUCH easier than taking it apart, like I did... :facepalm: Mine is still working great, but if it starts getting slidey again, guess which method I'm...

    Phoenix center post is driving me mad!

    In mine the problem was caused by seepage of e-liquid between the positive post, silicone insert and main body (9, 10 and 2 in the diagram respectively). I had removed the "body fitting ring" (3) to see if it made any difference in airflow. It was a PITA to remove, had to pry a knife edge in...

    what did you smoke before you started vaping?

    One pack a day for 23 years. Started on Marlboro, then Newport, then Winston, then Viceroy, then Cheyenne Vanillas, then L&M 100's (cheapest I could get).

    Never done that before

    Possibly. But after smoking thousands of nasty chemicals for 23 years, burning e-liquid just doesn't shiver my timbers all that much. ;) I won't do it purposely, though. I like my e-liquid too much to incinerate it.

    Never done that before

    Yup, eliquid does catch fire when heated up enough and they're exposed to enough oxygen. Happened to me the other day while showing off the vapor produced by my Phoenix RBA with the top cap off. Heard a little "thump" sound and no more vapor. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the very slight...

    Cutting Coil Ends (T2) - What do you use?

    Great choice, MISTer E! I've used these as well as the Xcelite brand. They'll work great and last years as long as you don't get them wet and don't use them on steel wire, as they're made for thin, soft copper wire. The Nichrome/Kanthal we use is harder than copper, but very light gauge, so the...

    Problems with new joye 510

    Hello RCW49 and welcome to ECF! It is quite unusual for a standard resistance atomizer with a slim battery to crackle and pop loudly; cartomizers are much louder as are low resistance atomizers. It could happen, though, so I don't rule it out. Did you blow out the factory primer fluid out of...

    New Wire

    Pretty much sums it up, I'd say! BTW, pretty much all chinese attys (joye, smoktech, etc.) use nichrome, I believe.

    A couple of rebuildable questions for you guys, the experts.

    OMG I love her videos! It's like she has a split personality or something; like she's constantly trying to keep me on my toes: "This is a rebuildable atomizer, xxx xx xxx x xxxxxx." Wait, wut? ;) Joanna is awesome. <3 ETA: Oops, almost forgot to say it kinda reminds me of the Patriot RBA

    Help with cotton wicks

    My experience on cotton for use as wicks (limited as it may be, I'm still new in the cotton wick dept) is that it all depends how the particular cotton has been "treated" (cleaned, processed, etc.). I've read about somebody whose cotton tasted like a Bounce sheet, no matter how much they...

    Which wire do you prefer?

    Torched 32 awg nichrome, 6 turn, 2.0 ohm coil formed around my 2mm philips screwdriver threaded with twisted cotton ball wick placed in my $10 phoenix klone imbued with 0 nic 70/30 PG/VG DIY peanut butter cup on my 3.7v Prodigy... whew! Vapes great, tastes great, and -after the clouds part-...
