    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Hey Papa, I have no experience with a Kayfun V4, or a Lemo or Lemo V2, but I've given up my Kafun V2 for the Erlkonigin and, heaven forbid, the clones. It's just a straight forward build and works great with a 4/5 wrap at 3 mm, 28g Ni and KGD cotton on my sx mini M at about .07. Quorax is the...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    What have you folks mixed together with good results? I was down to a few last ml's of a couple of my own extractions and mixed together a RP 1990 cigar and a C&D Poplar Camp (both thanks to Bill Herbst, btw, who I miss here). Pretty dog gone good and I'm up for some more mixing. Just...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Okay I can hear a lighter buzz even with the Ti today. I can only hear it when holding the device close to my ear which makes actual vaping clumsy. I can't really hear it when vaping and can live with it but curious to see what we (and Yihi) comes up with.

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Thanks Croak and I'll give it a try for sure. Was doing 29G kanthal at around 1.5 ohms at 10 Watts. My lower heat is with Ti, btw and I'll bring it up along with new nickel builds. I'm quite sure that there's a happy place to find and I'm a gonna get there. Cheers.

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    I'm three days into this device and it's my first in TC. Varitube got a grey/silver unit out in a hurry and I continue to find them to be a great vendor. So I've tried both 28G and 30G nickel and while it's a little different to work with, it wasn't a big problem. Cleaning my NET juice gunk...

    The Erlkönigin : PICTORIAL

    Hey Tony, why not post your slight perversions (which we all think but don't post) in one of your five other languages so we'll have to at least work on our educations and pay for our giggles? Just sayin'. Cheers man.

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    +1 on VariTube John. After you folks write some outstanding reviews on the new M-Class that's who'll I'll order from based on my experience with them. A stand up vendor to be sure. When the heck does this happen and should I start practicing with Nickel yet?

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Okay Anthony, you got me. I just placed my first order with Clay for the cigars you outlined as well as the "Anthony B" rum tobacco. I've mostly been enjoying my own extractions lately and some of Diane's newer stuff and thought I'd give NET a try. I'll be happy to share some opinions for our...

    Kayfun LITE - Part 2

    Exchaner, check out KangerTech's K-Simar 20 18650 tube. I just got one to replace my dead Sigelei 20W. It's a nice piece, well constructed. Only 20W, which works fine for me. Smaller than both the Sigelei and a Vamo. I still like a tube and hope to see a working TC in that format in the...

    Erlkonigin and Clone Comparison

    Yepper, would've been ideal and those smaller ones are now on order. But we've got to try the new toys right now, don't we kids? I'll put those in on the next tear down and thanks!

    Erlkonigin and Clone Comparison

    After getting a KangerTech K-Simar to replace my dying Sigelei 20W I found that its spring loaded pin wouldn't make contact with the recessed center pins on my Erls. So off to the ECF threads I go and find the credit card spacer idea. I have no tool to cut a round 4.5mm diameter disc and...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    I wish that I spoke five languages like Tony or even English as well as he does. I appreciate most every one of his contributions among the many threads I read. Plus he cracks me up now and again. Just saying, folks.

    Erlkonigin and Clone Comparison

    Resistance is futile. "The Borg" (I'm gonna get slammed but couldn't help it)

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Anthony, I can only imagine that kind of experience and second our well wishes and thoughts for you. As a former cigar smoker, I found that Diane's Perdomo Lot 23 was my favorite from her earlier work. I've recently tried her RP Edge Sumatra and find it to be quite a bit more flavorful and...

    The Erlkönigin : PICTORIAL

    I haven't tried peeling both outer strips yet. I peel one side and about a quarter of the pad thickness away. I then cut strips (length wise to preserve fiber integrity) that are about twice as wide as my coils. When threading, I manipulate the cotton so that the remaining outer strip is...

    Squape Reloaded Clone

    For me the tank didn't leak and is pretty well constructed. I had ohm jumping on a regular basis although I didn't try to modify the center post insulation. .2 to .4 ohms and I'd remove the tank and futz with the post and back on. Just didn't seem right. It could be that it's corrected now...

    Squape Reloaded Clone

    +1 on the Ehpro vs. Kingtu for me. The King is gathering royal dust right now. I'm still not sure on the Ehpro deck coating but a tank or two a day for three weeks and everything is still good. Bob at MidSouth was good to deal with, btw.

    Kayfun LITE

    Last car I could tune up myself--1976 Toyota Celica, with rust. But I could turn the distributor and get it just right by listening to it. Do they even make timing lights anymore? I think there's a coil build lesson in here somewhere and our kids are laughing at us.
