    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    hi dam, I live on Kauai and ordered quite a while ago... ha. won't that be hoot if you get yours first. I haven't gotten shipping notice but something about the colors... I don't even remember what color I ordered, and frankly, not in too big of a hurry. I kind of want to wait and see what...

    Got to chime in that I've found a new EASY way to improve my favorite mode of vaping (dna40 TP mode). I've gotten some 50ft. of Titanium wire from Amazon; .5mm (24g), and it takes my single strand 30g Ni200 to a whole new level! Tons of vapor and more flavor... I've got my 3 units in this...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Hmm just trying out a couple Titanium coils (50ft. .5mm from Amazon))... just like old sub ohms days; 24g wire, 6 (to 8) wraps... nice warm voluminous vape at well under 400F. Wow... just got my RMA'ed VSrDNA40 back from VS. Looks like a brand new unit with a new LG batt. too. I'm impressed...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    I like easy, so I doubt I'll go beyond your suggested 24g spaced 5 or 6 wrap for most TP applications Marc411... thanks again. I find that the wider ranges of ID 2 to 3mm is optimal for TP wicking, but yes it depends on the deck and design of the atomiser; how much headroom they allow between...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    I've got one coming, but i'm thinking... "what the hell am I doing?" I've got no problems with DNA40... its my favorite, but all that info in this SXMini M Class... its just not my style. I seem to have dyslexia when it comes to technical things and especially instructions. I'm hoping it will...

    Another day of vape-happy-ness... :) Ok another comment on the P3 dripper: Because it has no filler and extended chimney, there is no worry about the coil touching the chimney (and shorting or impacting anything). So you can bring the coil up as high as you want, AND in the case of DNA40...

    crickets... well; just fired up the P3 Dripper from Pris, who has some of my 1.8mm gear (Achilles/P2) and this is EXACTLY what I've been hankering for. 2.2mm of air under my 30g .22 ohms Ni200 coil at 20w, 400 to 430F. I hope Pris is happy and she can do the same with the P2 sans filler...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    I've had 3 dna40's and all 3 have been RMA'ed. Still my favorite vape is TP mode with Ni200 just because I vape so damn much (3-5mg nic) that my lungs need the TP; its like insurance. I vape my TP mode at 450 to 460 (20 to 40w) just to ensure I get lots of vapor (and I also get optimal...

    Is your juice control open? I kept fiddling with JC and also would get a dry-ish annoying hit every too often. I was at like 1.5 Ohms using a regulated around 4 to 5v, 15 to 20 watts tops. but mine is a V1, yours? My V1 doesn't have a lot of room for even the single coil in there.

    Anavid, pm coming. I love my DNA40 devices, but I have to, have to, change out the coils like every 2 or 3 days because I don't know of anyone who has found a way to clean them easily (dry burn)... yeah its worth it to me, but a hassle.

    Its funny that "dripping" pre-RBA time, was the best way to get better flavor from the attys available at the time. 510's, 306, 901, and then the Genesis RBA came along.:facepalm: I think that because of all the fussing with mesh and oxidizing, and hot spots, it was such a relief when the first...

    I am getting cranky in my "old age" ... actually a young 65yrs, but I've been at this since late '09 and I am still not organized. arghhh. I have too much gear piled up unused, and even my best gear is always in stages of being fiddled with, maintenance, I don't even know what all I have most...

    Keep us posted Anavidfan. I noted before that the P3 dripper version is like the Achilles, but with a larger air flow... note: it is adjustable down to whatever you like so airiness shouldn't be an issue ? The Achilles has the smaller air 1.8mm (and not as adjustable... with an alan nut at...

    SS mesh 400 is about avg. between 300 and 500 ... you can get it at any site that sell rebuildables. I'd look up what folks are doing with the latest Origen Genesis... you might get ideas on what is the best build for these nowadays. There was the issues of oxidize the mesh or not, use some...

    ^ looks new, and a Genesis... Ist gen RBA/RTA. I hear they're making a comeback? I gave up on geni's a couple years ago as have many, but there have been a few that have raised eyebrows in the last year or so, and a couple mentioned in this thread i think. btw I still have my original DID...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    a little help here: what are the settings going to be like? I mean if you compare it to the DNA40 readout, what should we set the temp at ... is it F or C or J? Do we have to prepare for a whole different scenario or could one just use their experience with the DNA40 and have at it? Will it...

    Marquis vs Raptor vs Veritas

    I have had a Veritas and just didn't care for it... it was a while ago, and recently I got ahold of a Marquis. Coil not difficult because of the set up design... easy to trap the wires, and with those coil posts not a problem; didn't bother to make duals. The trick is putting a cotton wick down...
