    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Once you have the RSST apart, flip the deck over and place it on something firm that has a hole in it large enough for the bushing to go through (so it has someplace to go when you drive it out). The hole on the bottom of the deck is larger (about 4mm) - find something to use as a punch that's...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    Just heat it up until its JUST a dull red, let it cool naturally (don't quench in water or it will become brittle), and your done. If its still too stiff, just do it again until it feels right, but if you heat it too much, it will ruin the spring. Don't forget to open up the bottom of the...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    Just get some copper-shielded RG cable (audio cable), strip the outer covering off, pull the center out of it, and you will have a tube of some of the purest woven copper you can get your hands on. A couple of feet will last you a lifetime. Copper-shielded cable is used in many other industries...

    My Boba's clone

    Blue Note is a blend of Virginia & mild Cavendish tobaccos, so that doesn't mean much...any Virginia/Cavendish extract would give you those flavor notes most likely....but it may be a clue. I'm firmly convinced that one of the key ingredients is a tobacco extract of some type. I've been...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    No need to use Junk juice to break it in. The flavors will be "muted" at first, but will get better & better as you vape it, and then suddenly, you will hit an "Aha!" point, and it will be great. It will continue to improve slightly from that point forward as it continues to break in over the...

    ^ What BJ said...same stuff. Dan's (Scubabatdan) technique works well to do the cutting & shaping of the materiel (tip - keep it wet while working it - makes it easier & less dust). He also recommends soaking the wicks in lemon juice for about a half-hour and then boiling them (or run them...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Yep me too. I ordered the exact same strips off of eBay about a month ago. They are much easier to work with than the TopFin Bubblestones, and are a LOT less prone to breakage. I've had a few of them running in an RSST & a couple of DID clones for a few weeks now & they beat the Fishsticks...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Not on the beaches I go too (around Sebastian Inlet where the 1715 Plate Fleet went down). There are a few old ladies wandering around, but I'm usually pre-occupied with my metal detector anyway. Besides.. I'm usually out there when the weather is lousy. Big storms produce the best...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    Not a good idea. If your battery starts to vent...you're going to be inhaling some pretty toxic stuff. Even batteries that don't go into full-vent will sometimes release nasty gasses if they start to overheat.. A better idea is to cut a notch or two into the sanded top cap - look at the top of...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    .... The center pin can sometimes be pretty snug the first time you unscrew it, but it's easy after you first get it loose. The part you want to turn is the little gold disk that the small silver Phillips-head screws into - that's the backside of your positive pin. If you have a set of...

    Its working, but I haven't received my flat-top 350s yet, so it doesn't' sit flush at this time with nipple-tops, The draw is pretty tight because the threads of the adapter block the air intake hole to a certain degree. An easy fix would be an adjustable airflow ring, but I want to keep it as...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    Silver & Copper are far better conductors than Brass.....by a long shot....but it depends on the amount of copper in the brass (brass is an alloy of Copper & Zinc) ....same with Silver Solder...depends on the percentage of Silver in the solder (most Silver solder is usually 95% tin 5% silver)...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    If your RSST still leaks after using the Teflon tape, get a pack of AGA-T positive post insulators - problem fixed. A 10-pack is around $2. They work far better than the SMOK insulators and are a perfect fit. If you can't find them elsewhere, Kidney Puncher has them here: AGA Series Positive...

    Yes...both. Besides being a paste lubricant, it's also conductive. Good stuff.

    Yep, it looks like a melding of the Bagua, the Chi-You, and the 8w. A Bag-You? :confused: Nevertheless, if they keep their track record up, it should be an outstanding MOD for the money...

    Here you go: Bagua Clone 18350/18650 Looks good - It's obviously Sigelei (the internals of the switch look just like the 8w). I'll probably hold out for the Brass model when they become available... I've got a lifetime supply of brass polish to use up :) I think everyone should email Vaportek...
