    Ayup. The angle's a nice touch, too - keeps from bangin' up the o-rings if you twist it in easy. It's also not much more expensive than those $40 carto punches - go on Amazon, get a Black & Decker rotary tool for under $30 (or get a Craftsman 4.8V cordless for $35), Dremel EZ-Lock Mandrel...

    Just watched the video. I could slap myself - it's just a reef knot, basically. You'd think a Sailor could have figured that out on his own. :) Really appreciate the tutorial! Rebuild will be a piece of cake once the 32ga nickel wire comes in.

    Fantastic! Can't wait to get home so I can watch it. :)

    Yeah, they can be kind of confusing, even when you know what they are and do ... and it gets complicated when you consider the relationship between ohms and at least 11 other factors that all go into how well or poorly a cartomizer vapes. I have this really cool (in my mind) metaphor I've...

    Lie-flavored, you mean. I'll stick to vaping this ground-up moon rock mixed with this blue gel, thankyewverymuch.

    Oh, figured I'd just drop this here: Two-year Vapeversary today. That is all.

    Didn't get comparison pics and measures of BB Diver* vs. Stock Diver - darn thing's still working so well I don't want to take anything part until I absolutely have to! Have noticed a bit of condensation the couple of times I've checked; I think it's because the Diver's center pin is a bit...

    OK, just received some resistance and non-resistance wire that I thought would work with this, but it is obvious that the 36 AWG NR wire I have is too small - the center post is not held in place by the wire. At least not with a single strand up the center of the ceramic cup. The wire sizes you...

    Nope. RichPA had what sounded like a similar failure last month. Not aware of any others. By rough guesstimate that makes for about a .005% failure rate, maybe lower. (Which, coincidentally, may turn out to be the Raven's success rate). :)

    Nah. It's not like anyone around here is picky about their drip tips.

    Last night I set the Diver up for wick lined up to the hole. Seemed to work well with 70/30, but I topped off with something else that is 50/50 and was getting not-quite-dry-but-definitely-not-wet hits - harsher hit, less flavor in very short order. Today I shifted from in-line to 90-degrees...

    That makes sense. I thought they were lined up but double-checked and mine was out of alignment just about a wick's width. Re-aligned now. Still get just a very slight gurgle on the first draw but it is good after that. I had kind of picked up on this tip from watching one of the original...

    DD has sort of chimed in on this before (probably should add to the next revision of the FAQ), though admittedly this could be a different situation. A bit of visible liquid seepage in between the clear face and the tank body is due to simple capillary action, normal and acceptable and should...

    Hmmm. In another thread, user Blix has reported using 30ga Kanthal with no ill effects. But, guess I ought to learn how to make an R/NR coil anyway just to be on the safe side. Only problem is, I have a firm policy: Every time I learn something new, I have to get rid of something I know...

    Diver(s) received and so far working well. With the aid of my trusty drill press and many other tools not intended for the purpose to which they were applied: - De-flanged and (poorly) polished the base - Trimmed an un-quantified but professionally guesstimated amount of material from the tube...

    First thing: Keefer, my sincerest apologies for not having previously joined with the rest of the community in wishing you the traditional birthing-day happiness. Please know that in my bosom I am joyfully singing the official copyright-protected birthing-day song of our people solely in...

    I have about a half-dozen chargers and my favorite by far is the NITECORE Intellicharger i4. i2 version is just as good but only handles two batteries instead of four. Amazon usually has a pretty good price on them for fast delivery. Also, don't forget to check out the Billet Box FAQ - I...
