    #500 SS Mesh

    Wow increasing the number of wraps with kanthal 28 really drinks down the tank juice. I can literally watch the precipitous drop occur. Of course this continues to prove all of bj's theories regarding wicking, number of wraps, 500 mesh etc. Put a lot of myths behind me at this point. Thanks...

    No, on my mini I am running a 4 wrap of kanthal 30 for a 1.9 ohm, however, next time I coil it I will try a 6 wrap of kanthal 28 if I can manage it. So far the 30 kanthal, 4 wrap, 500 mesh is excellent on the mini/18350 rig. It is my travelling set-up, while big DID on the Uranos is my home...

    I need a softer spring

    Hmmm, didn't do the oil quench, I'll have to keep an eye out for future problems. Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

    I need a softer spring

    Ok, I have employed a combination of ideas presented here and have solved my tight spring problem. First I removed one full coil from spring, tested, and decided it was still a bit tight. I then superheated the remaining coil several times, turning it white hot and letting it cool. This did...

    Wick and Coil observations: OK, my latest recoiling and wick combo on my big DID as follows; 28 gauge Kanthal, 500 ss mesh, and mech mod Uranos. I just got my 28 gauge kanthal from Ebay seller. I was using braided coils prior. After reading the 500 mesh thread, I decided to try for a 5 wrap...

    I need a softer spring

    Question, I have a Uranos mod and find the switch spring to strong. I wish to find a softer spring but have no idea how to size or where to find one. Any ideas?, thanks for all replies. Thought of cutting a bit of spring away, but nervous to do so. Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

    #500 SS Mesh

    Ok, so you'll laugh, but when I was in my muchhhhhhhh earlier days, the glorious but vacant '60s, I use to enjoy, shall we say, a questionable smoke. Anyway, part of my 60's kit was this piece of material used to roll the above questionable smoke. I have re-purposed this device, bought at...

    The tightening nuts is a good thing. Yes, when I snug my final nut down I use a needle nose pliers, and the wick bends toward the center post. I then take a dental pick, pin, paper clip, or tooth pick, in other words whatever I have handy, and jam it between wick and center post to give a wee...

    Wow, that's a long burn, under that torch I'm surprised the wick doesn't crumble. I use a chefs creme brulee type torch. Jack frost both sides just until wick turns a grayish color, roll, wet with juice, burn, good to go. Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

    Miriam is dead right. The best way to learn is create coil for your wattage. I have stopped using kick and vv mods. I can pretty much create coils of around 1.9 ohm for all my dids and use straight mech mods, giving me wattage of 7.2-8.8, I generally change out bat at about 3.7 volts, the...

    #500 SS Mesh

    Wow six wraps, first I don't know how to accomplish, no room, 4 wraps crowd my did. Second, 6 wraps and my ohms would soar, unless I use a bicycle chain as coil. I have no doubt you accomplished this, its obvious you are scientific in nature, but for the average guy, this sounds near...

    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    In all honesty you have made a wise decision. I have never regretted my DID, or mini purchase. I too may pick up a short and Gemini just to complete my line of DIDs. I have heard from knockoff owners of worries over exposed copper after attempted mods, or scratching top surface and I am so...

    Now that i have my mech mod, I decided to try low res on big DiD. I twisted an arm length of kanthal 30 into a braided coil. I whipped up a 4 wrap on my fat 500 mesh wick. Ohm at 1.4. Thoughts: I always made an assumption that my vv mod cranked up on a 2.5-3.0 ohm coil was achieving the same...

    Is it a long long wait for a Caravela? They sure are handsome mods. If its a forever wait, I might go for a flat top p+18500 or 18650, I am definitely leaning towards mechanical as you suggest.

    Whoever comes up with glass did, mini did tank gonna make some money. Does anyone own the kir fanis mini clear tank, I'll have to get one of those for the time being. Btw, I am just loving the precise 18350 for the mini. My first mechanical. It hits harder than I thought it would. Running...

    Actually, I think the guy who invented the jack frost method of oxidizing, peter k, coiled this way using an unoxidized wick. It has been adapted by many to use with oxidized wicks. Your right, you will need to find a screw, or nail, or drill bit that will roll a coil just right. If the wick...
