    Chi you clone

    If I'm not mistaken - the air-flow controller is about 21-22 mm. Good luck..

    Chi you clone

    You could always use an Air-flow controller: Tank Air Flow Controller for 510 by SMOKtech [gv-SMOKtechTANKAirFlowController] - $3.45 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more Wouldn't look bad on a Chi either IMHO...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I noticed that too. I don't have a Taifun myself, but from other pictures I've seen of it, it appears that it was assembled incorrectly - I think the insulator should be UNDER the deck, not on top. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.... One of the Ithaka clones I got had the center...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    That's up to you. The more particulate matter you remove, the longer your coils will last. I used to just filter through a cotton ball at the end of a syringe, and everything was fine, except I had to dry-burn my coils after each tankful (sometimes before the tank was even empty) because they...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    I don't care for a hot vape either (or a lot of throat hit). I set mine up with Stormy's 1.8 Ω ready-wires in a single coil with another wick (without a coil) over it in an "X" configuration. Smooths out the vape dramatically, and cuts the warmth by at least half, and I personally think it has...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    Just put the fat side down. You will have to tighten the bottom of the coil up a little - I just took a pair of needle-nose vice-grips to hold the very bottom end of the coil and grabbed it about half-way with another pair of pliers and "tightened up" the coil a little by twisting it. It's not...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    No, the button & spring are actually part of the circuit on the #19. If you can find a spring made of a brass or copper alloy, you will have less chance of a "hot button" or miss-fire, or even tiny sparks around the switch (all the hot springs are made of better conductive alloys). The steel...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    You probably got the spring too hot. Maybe you can fix it - You can try it, but it may become brittle & break. Making springs is an art - how you heat/cool/quench makes all the difference. If it goes south - just order a "Hot Spring" for a Silver Bullet - they are much softer - or Vaportek has...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    If you have any Ekowool, give that a shot. I've seen a couple of people who have slipped a short sleeve of the 1mm hollow Ekowool over the ends of SS wicks in a Protank ("booties") in order to seal off the leakage. Ekowool wicks very well, and is impervious to burning like regular silica (its a...

    Chi you clone

    The 510 connector on my SS (etched) Chi You from FT is a little loose, but I always screw my atties down until they just touch the head, and then tighten up the pin from underneath. No problems with RSST, AGA-T2, Oddys, Ithakas, RDAs or even Protanks IIs. I have a couple of other MODS that are...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    After trying dual coils in a couple of configurations and single coils, I've found that the best setup for me is running an "X" pattern wick setup, but only coiling the bottom wick. I use a 1.8 Ω ready-wire on a 2mm Ekowool wick for the bottom and a 1mm hollow Ekowool wick crossing over the...

    Nickel Foam?!?

    Just a quick follow-up after using BJ's technique (foam around the base of the AO White wick) for a few weeks on one RSST; Works extremely well for keeping the wick well saturated with juice, even without doing the "Genny tilt" to keep from getting dry-hits. I've run about four tanks of DIY...

    My Boba's clone

    Just a little plug for recipe #6 (the "Gorilla Juice" clone). I've always been a big fan of AVs Gorilla Juice, and just love the stuff. After steeping for a month or more, I think #6 is actually BETTER than AV's GJ....and I like it more than Boba's! It has become one of my regular vapes (I also...

    My Boba's clone

    Spot on. I also believe that fermentation is a factor over time with most tobacco juices. I see the foaming on my unopened bottles of Boba's in my storage cabinet as well. There are many natural sugars and organic yeasts in tobacco. One of the stages of producing cigars & Pipe tobacco is...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I think the people who tried it before and had crumbling problems were doing it "Dry". Keeping the stone wet should help a lot, as long as you can control the muddy slurry the grinding produces. I like your idea of keeping the drilling near the edge of the stone - as long as you can keep it...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    You might be able to try a large container of water with a small hose & adjustable clamp (available in a pet store in the aquarium department) above your work surface and set up a small stream or heavy drip of water keeping the ceramic good and wet as you work on it, that should probably be...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    I resolved that problem by using a VERY thin Stainless steel washer behind the o-ring. Since the washer goes between the wire & the o-ring, it distributes the pressure better, and also gives the positive wire a better grip and doesn't allow it to cut into or distort the o-ring. I just fished...

    My Boba's clone

    Here's the post with Slohand's compilation of tested recipes he did: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/353176-my-bobas-clone-42.html#post9391811 Wish there was a way to sticky it, but its easy to remember- its post # 411 (as in information). Have fun.....
