All things in the world of rebuildable atomizers

Lol....that's just me being me. I'm a sweetheart....ask the guys that hang here.
Glad you pop in from time to time....classes the joint up a bit.

Complete sweetheart..one of the nicest guys you will ever meet!

Look what I found....only mine is disconnected at the other end Photo Album - Imgur

Yup, should be able to fix her right up!

How's the weather in philly? I haven't been there for a couple of years. I've spent a fair amount of time at your convention center however.
I love the market across the street (reading market?), and across the street from that is a cool brew pub...but the name of it escapes me.

I'm more of a Pittsburgh guy, myself..Bet ya didn't know that!

Well I just got my ST Vivi RAT today..haven't had a chance to play with anything yet as I have been super busy. But I should be able to in the next couple of days. Also got in all of my wire and am no completely set up! Can't find my torch though, wondering if a good ol' lighter will do the trick on the mesh.

How bout one of those turbo cigar lighters? Should be able to get one at any tobacco shop.
Probably cheaper to get a bottle type torch at home depot though.

Think this has been a bit of a common problem. It is just a joint gone bad. It is also indeed the ground. Shouldn't be a difficult fix though. It should trace back to underneath the post that your coils are attached to. If you look inside that tube, you should be able to see a bit of solder where it was attached and just do a quick number on it with an iron.

If I remember correctly, it tends to happen when everything is twisting during removal. But once you get a good joint there, it shouldn't pose any more issues.

Funny though as the wire shows no hint of solder on the tip nor does the post - I've received detailed instructions which includes removing that post to re-solder. As I know nothing about soldering this is quite the learning curve

I've seen videos where they use a regular lighter to oxidize wire and/or mesh.

If you have a harbor freight nearby they have a butane soldering iron / torch for about 8 bucks.
As for the broken wire on Jazz's tank there's no sign of solder and the wire isn't even stripped. I think it came from China that way. Hard to imagine QC issues from something made in china Isn't it?


Oh and hi everyone
Thanks for the help!

 

[PittBoss]

That's right, I do remember that torch at HF. I also found one on EBay for about the same and free shipping, but that requires waiting..Hmmm. Guess I could use a good lighter in the meantime though. Thanks for that, btw! On the QC issues, I still find it difficult to overlook something like that on the line, lol. But then again, mass production overseas has output some interesting finds.

Welcome to our "neighborhood" lox, nice of you to visit as well!

Really quick..anybody looking to procure a Chinese made DID. They are the RA Tanks that Jim makes, only these are produced in China. They are $7 + shipping. If so, or more info, check out the co-op planning and discussion sub-forum. You local guys, if you are interested, there are a small handful of units left to claim. The shipping is about $5 and that could be split up. I am in for 1 already, but can add (for now) if need be. The DID is in huge demand and not always available, plus it's almost $100. These will be easier to work with and of better quality than what we have encountered so far.


They ARE stainless steel and NOT the brass that is in the picture.

Thanks for the heads up
I think I squeaked in

You wanted a 2nd for hawkize? Or am I missing something? I'm not positive but I think it's standing at 195 and the spare 5 are in case there are bad units...

Yup, extra one is for Hawk. That's what was said, its at least in the reserve so hopefully it can be thrown in there soon.
