    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    Well, it was time to change coils, and so I decided to do one up out of twisted 32 ga. Kanthal. Man. What a difference in terms of ease of setup. I had my new coil firing evenly within a minute of wrapping it 'round my wick. One small short to deal with and we were good to go. 6 wraps...

    Jim, I'm so sorry to hear your news. You have my deepest sympathies. What a fitting tribute to your friend.

    Health Canada's Reasoning for E Cig Ban

    This devil-you-know type of reasoning behind HC's stance on e-cigs is what really bugs me. Don't want the smokers to inhale anything that might make 'em cough. :facepalm: Personally, I'll put up with the possibility of an occasional border seizure if it means continuing on the way we are...

    I assume that people twisting their wires apply a good dose of heat afterwards to make them pliable again, yesno? Seems like if you wrapped a coil with a work-hardened twisted wire, the springback would be almost unmanageable otherwise.

    That would be pretty cool. Knowing me, I'd spend every waking moment vaping either cross-eyed or in front of a mirror if I had that. :D Edit: Gah! Brigit beat me to it.

    Canada Customs and My Z ATTY Pro

    Never mind about my first question. I figured it out. 2+2 and all that. Sorry to hear about the huge customs delay on your Z-Atty, however. Just hope the customs officer reviewing the package isn't a vaper.

    Calling all Vancouver vapers!

    Welcome to the club! I understand exactly what you mean about the excitement. I think that's the number one reason I managed to kick the cigs from day one - it was all just so cool. Enjoy your vaping journey, don't beat yourself up if you slip up, and enjoy your newfound lease on life. :toast:

    High Resistance Rebuildable

    I've got an actual DID that I managed to get about 3-3.2 ohms out of by wrapping 7 wraps of 32 gauge kanthal. (Not recommended if you're easily frustrated.) If you can find it, finer gauge (e.g. 34) will do the trick too.

    Well, guys, I thought I was getting it. I really did. I had a steady coil going for a couple of days, and everything seemed peachy. Fastforward to this afternoon. Nothing would stop my coil from misbehaving. No amount of poking, prodding, and fiddling around would get that coil working...

    Tremors shook my juice bottles

    Well, ya learn something new every day. Any damage? Seems like it wasn't much of anything.

    Tremors shook my juice bottles

    Weird. I wouldn't have thought Montreal would've ever had to worry about earthquakes. I like your optimism. :) *Tries fervently to shoehorn in a lame pun about someone calling Crocodile Dundee out for bullying: "Why don't you pick on someone your own size, Mick?" Get it?*

    Jugheads

    I can personally vouch for the Che-Cherry and Karamellow Baccos. Goooood stuff. They remind me of pipe tobacco. I really like his VG RY4, too, but I'm still undecided as to what it actually tastes like. It's not like any other RY4 I've ever tried.

    Just wanted to say.......

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! All that tryptophan is massing quite the assault against my consciousness; I nearly fell asleep reading my daughter her bedtime story. One of the myriad things I'm thankful for today is vaping. Another is the wonderful group of people here who've helped me get...

    London, Ont Vape meet!

    Barring something like hospitalization, I should be there. :)

    London Ont

    I'm okay for a weeknight, so long as it doesn't go into the wee hours. Ah, who am I kidding? I can do without a full night's sleep once in a while. In short, a weeknight is fine for me.

    More good advice. Never thought of doing that resistance check with and without the wick.

    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    Leave it to me to have the weird problems. :) The one time I tried burning the wick and coil in the device, I had a dry wick and coil, added a couple drops of juice, lit it up and burnt it horizontally with the wick hole in the 12:00 position, to avoid heating up the other parts too much...

    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    I am going to quell the urge to correct the pot-stirrer's behavior, since (s)he is beyond help at this point anyway. Rather, I'm going to lead by example, ask a question about an issue I'm having trouble with, and listen to the advice given me. When I get to the end of a fill, I generally pop...

    Canadian Rebuildable's and stuff thread!

    Actually, I searched that out soon as I posted the above, and it was immensely helpful, even though it wasn't the same problem. A couple wires had broken at the solder joints, so all it took was 45 minutes of ransacking my workroom looking for the right tools, 90 minutes of cussing, one...

    Canadian Rebuildable's and stuff thread!

    My Twist just met up with a concrete floor from a height of about four feet, and it's not firing or charging any more. :( Gonna see if it's rebuildable. :)
