    More progress in Phoenix

    There were a lot of high emotions, gallows humor, uncertainty, and high stakes on the drive out to the Arizona state capitol. Members of NAVB came together on 2/19/2015 to make their presence felt and their voices heard regarding HB2648. Members of SFATA were also there in opposition of the...

    Porous ceramic orchid v4 build

    .4ohms, 6 wraps of 25Ga, dual coil with porous Aluminum Oxide(Ceramic) wicking. Those wicks aren't perfect by any means or perfect twins, but the results are impressive none the less. I did this with needle files by hand since I needed new dremel bits. The wicks in this picture are 3rd gen and...

    ceramic half pipe build

    Basically I made a small piece of ceramic with an 1/8" hole through it(smallest glass/ceramic bit at home depot) for my russian. Had it up and running, but kept getting dry hits randomly. In retrospect I had ran out of PG and was making 80% VG mixes hence the wicking issues. I attempted to...

    The inception coil

    Genesis wick holy grail

    My first genesis was the AGA T2 and I guess I had beginner's luck because my first wick was a 1.3 ohm coil of 30 Ga Kanthal on wire rope/mesh and I got it to work. I ended up taking it apart to try using 28 instead thinking that more surface area=better. After a couple failures I re-oxidized my...

    First 2 RBAs..Loving it

    A few weeks ago I purchased an Igo-W and a week later purchased the AGA T2. Prior to that I just had a protank and protank 2. I learned to rebuild on those, but had to move up to a real RBA to have more control over some of the variables. Here are some things I have learned from my...

Penny cutting scizzors-nope. Taped ends+scizzors- nope. Dremel- nope. Dremel with taped ends-nope. Dremel with taped ends+ a...
