GREAT, glad tou got it mate. I haven`t tried the 7 x 19 yet Ian but according to todd, he didn`t notice any difference at all. When my kraken arrives i will try some in that, just for the sake of science LOL.

Oh by the way what are macro coils mate ??

Yep got home from work at 4pm, had to change quick and back out for tea at the sister-in-laws. When I got back home, closed the front door and the envelope was there - must have missed it first time around with rushing

I've had a quick look but I can't see much difference between the two. I'll get my magnifier out tomorrow when it's daylight, see if there's any difference. I know it's something to do with the number of wraps or construction or something like that.

I think a coil of 1mm diameter or less is a macro-coil, but not 100% sure mate. Macro sounds more impressive than micro though, don't you think

===============

Well all my orders have shipped and the tracking has been updated - even on the HK post site for the kayfun clone from desire ecig

So that's 2 different juice orders.

The kayfun clone.

The Russians from viper vape.

Plus a mystery package from a great guy on here (not you Terry )

Either that or the post was late Ian, it wouldn`t surprise me. I think the rope if i remember correctly the 7 x 7 is 7 strands of wire in 7 bundles...The 7 x 19 is 19 bundles of wire, If you watch todds review he has got the illustrations mate.

I think i will stick with the 1.5 mil micro`s mate, anything less in diameter i would struggle threading it i think . Mystery gift from a stranger eh !!! nope i refuse to start playing them guessing games again.

I thought it was something like that, to the naked eye they look almost identical though.

I've just found out, anything up to 1.1 mm is classed as a "nano" coil. So that's what I've been building recently on my paper clip - still prefer macro though

No guessing needed mate. I'll tell you, Burnie has kindly donated his Fogger to me, as he'd rather see someone who enjoys tinkering with it get some use from it. So that's 3 chrimbo pressies from the wonderful people on ECF :

Rope from your good self.
Aga parts from the lovely Lisa.
Fogger v2 from kind hearted Burnie.

Ah nano coil is something i have heard about but... what would the difference be between say 1.5 and say 1 mm in performance ??

That nice of burnie mate, and yeah you have done pretty well haven`t you, Thats what you get for starting a good thread.

To be honest mate, I think the only difference is the fact that a smaller diameter coil will heat up quicker, so I get a slightly better flavour from a 1mm coil than I do with a 2mm coil. Not a massive difference, but I do notice it slightly.

Burnie said he'd been struggling to set the Fogger up, he was ready for bining it - but he offered it me instead

I'm hoping this thread ends up being the longest running thread in ECF history. I might get a prezzie off the mods too then

I'll have to dig out the angle grinder tomorrow for the rope I think. Might drill out the RSST too while I'm at it. I want to make sure it's at optimal set up for the rope.

Gonna shoot off now anyway mate, hopefully watch the Hobbit 2 tomorrow as well. Jeez, I lead an exciting life me See you later.

Ok mate catch ya later, don`t forget to put some insulation tape on the rope where you are cutting it to stop it fraying.

[terry w]

well my kraken arrived today, totally unexpected (AGAIN) Tracking still hasn`t updated from despatched Anyway rant over, i will give it a good clean and get it built tomorrow.

My only critisism would be that as there are 2 wick holes, there is no screw to block one of them off. I will have to watch some more reviews later, and see if they are all the same. If they are, i will have to see if i can find a screw that fits.

EDIT: I thought i would try a new cleaning process with the kraken. I have broke it down and placed everything in a glass, and filled it with coca cola. It has been soaking for over an hour now and i have to say, that glass of coke absolutely stinks of machine oil, so it looks like it has done the trick.

 

[terry w]

Well that was a bit of a surprise... I just got two e-mails saying my orders have been shipped, including the kayfun which wasn`t supposed to ship untill 06/01/14.

Excellent result Terry.

The kraken might vape better if you leave the wick hole open mate. My RSST doe vape better when I don't put the fill plug back in - guess it stops any possible air locks in the tank, giving better wicking.

Bit of a waste of coke though mate, you should be adding it to your Rum, Bacardi, Whisky etc Seriously though, I've seen it used as a loo cleaner too, so imagine what it does to your insides

==============

Anyway, Happy new year to one and all. I hope 2014 is an absolute cracker for everyone - health, wealth and happiness

Oh i have always got plenty of coke in mate (for my bacardi) Thanks for the heads up re the wick hole Ian, I will try it tomorrow. I need to watch some more reviews. I have seen a couple but didn`t take note about the extra hole. And all the best to you and your family Ian, and all my friends on here.

That's ok then mate, don't try drinking the coke after using it for cleaning though

Right I'm off now. We always go up on to the moors tonight, to see all the fireworks going off at midnight. It's a superb view up there

See you all next year

Forgot to mention, watched the Hobbit part 2 today, brilliant film. I even stealth vaped all the way through it

I'll be sorting the rope out today mate. I just took my Vmod mini with me to the Cinema. Got 2 seats away from everyone else and stealthed away

We normally go up on the moors between Rochdale and Todmorden. The place gets busier every year though. Last night there were at least 200 of us up there. Families take their kids too, it's a really good atmosphere. When all the fireworks start it's like the whole of Rochdale is on fire

Part 2 will probably be out about August I'd say.

Very Bad

I'm going to order the extended version when it comes out Burnie.

I got the 3 extended versions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, lots of extra footage. I love anything to do with Tolkien.

======================

Can't believe I've been up since 7am on New Years Day. Had to take the Wife to work. I did manage to get an order in with "Alice in Vapeland" though - it's hardly ever open for ordering

I just cut some rope for the kraken, which i will build tonight. Ian the rope is a pita to cut without fraying mate, it took me 3 tries before i got a decent length and even that one isn`t perfect.

next time i see a mate of mine, who lives on our avenue; i will ask if he has got any decent snips and cut a load of lengths !!!

Glad you had a good time last night mate, happy new year

Had a cracker last night thanks

So today had a play with the rope.

Decided to drill out the airholes in the RSSTs first. Left no1 standard, no2 drilled to 1.5mm and no3 to 2mm.

Managed to cut the rope really easily (used the 7x19). I used the cheapo set of wire cutters that I got in my FT toolkit. The piece did fly across the room when I cut it, but it was a nice clean cut. I think as long as the cutters are sharp and there's no big gap between the blades when their together it's easy enough. Here's the toolkit I got from FT - nothing special :

https://www.fasttech.com/p/1197800

Slipped on a piece of 3mm ekowool and did a 4 wrap coil with 30g kanthal. Usual torching etc. Came out at 1.2 ohms. Filled up with some Niocticket "grandmas cinnamon Danish" @ 18mg (didn't want to go with a 24mg juice first in case it was too much).

Stuck it all on the Paps Lux and fired it up.

WOW - you were right Terry. The flavour is off the scale. Better than cotton, really clean tasting. Not quite as much vapour as cotton, but I can live with that - cos this coil will probably last 10 times as long

I'm really impressed so far. Thanks Terry for the rope, it's a superb vape
