Anyone here used fasttech.

Does look interesting Bob. I don't have a problem with wire uncoiling, but for storage it would be very handy. All I do is cut a small notch in the edge of the spool when it arrives, fold the wire over into the notch and stick the end down with a bit of insulation tape. Not had a spool unwind yet.

At the moment for my large spools I am using the base with centre pole from a 100 CD case cut down the base of it and it fits inside a circular caddy box (the food type that has 4 clips on the top), and I use postie elastic bands to hold the wire secure on each spool, but still like the looks of that, for sheer neatness, and ease of use, once you coil the little bobbins. Will definitely get one when he gets them back in stock.

Just finished reading the PBusado review on the mvp upgrade

it's called the mvp 20 watt and in real terms the only changes from the

v 2.0 is a 9 watt power uprating and a spring loaded positive pin

not at all worth getting my hopes up for ... the search continues

with the iPV2 V2 Revisited my new favourite

All that bleeding hype, just for an extra 9 watts What are they thinking. Get yourself the ipv vinnie and be done with it I have got mine set on 18 watts with a 0.8 dual coil, and it is rocking mate.

Not as funny as this bob, it always gets a giggle from me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5ui90GHl7I

He was definitely a glutton for punishment , think we should get Ian some

Yeah, good idea bob ! i will do a search for some later I have watched a few reviews of the lemo bob, and one thing i find weird is that neither of them know that there is a fill plug, so you don`t even need to use the screw. Phil gave it a big thumbs down because of this.

In their press release a while ago they did say that there would be 2 new versions

with pictures taken with the head honchos at Evolve, I was expecting a new battery form

a more hand friendly form factor, 30watts, changes to the fire button and the charging port

moved to the side of the unit, this version can't even sing or dance so you can forget about making the coffee

 

[Bobw1951]

I'm going to have to shoot off early, got a "sparrow fart" duty tomorrow. Sign on at 4.30am

I'll get a nice trip over to Huddersfield though.

So night all.

Lived for a week or so in the Dalton end (the good end) of Rawthorpe Lane in Huddersfield, the Rawthorpe end was where all the baddies lived, probably changed a lot since the late 60's, I've visited a few places in the last 20 years that I used to live in when I was a lot younger and can never seem to find the places I lived, they've been knocked down and built over mostly.

fill plug ????

Yes, you know the screw what you take out to do a refill ? Well one of the silicone o rings what comes with the extras, has a nib on it, and that is what you use instead of the screw.

Would that be about 7/8 wraps round a 2mm mandrel with 30ga kanthal mate ?

To be honest, if it ain't got a DNA40 in it now or can go higher, I'm not interested in buying it, have seen a few DNA30s come up recently in the classies, and none have tempted me.

If i remember correctly vin, twas 9 wraps around a 2 mm driver

Edit: i just checked and twas 8 wraps, round one of them little blue screwdrivers, not exactly sure of the dia of them though !

I thought those were just some funny type of o-ring, wondered why I couldn't find where they went

Yes, obviously all the reviewers thought the same as you bob.

Could be with the move, that the old email address is no longer working, worth sending one to there other one.

I got a reply a couple of hours ago He said something obviously went wrong and he'll re-send my order tomorrow.
I think that with the tracking eventually showing 'Expired', the package never got into the system ...perhaps 'mislaid' at the receiving office!
I've asked Nathan how long it usually takes for their orders to reach the UK - give me an idea of when it should arrive!

Why thankyou kindly Trisha

Ya welcome!

I do like the sound of the Gremlin juices

Me too! I've heard their Chocolate Overload is very good, but he has none - did say he'd get some with his next order though!

I've seen those before George, they look really easy to use mate. Should make building a coil a doddle

I see Cloud9 are getting them ..£121.95!

Found it mate. The Wife had put it away somewhere safe, I found it in the fridge Just kidding, I have found it though.

Ha-ha ..reminds me of the day when my husband was working away and our son wanted the battery charger ...we couldn't find it despite searching the garage, cupboards and drawers. So I phoned him ...'oh, it's in the bottom of the grandfather clock' - 'oh right ...of course it is!'
Apparently, it seemed like a good place to keep it

got a "sparrow fart" duty tomorrow.

Oh! do they really?! My word!

Sounds a bit of a let-down! I was expecting improvements in design and perhaps some smart colours!

I've read somewhere that the yihi sx330 chip will not regulate down below battery charge level

And that the dna 40 chip will not regulate above battery charge level

but the good news is that if you've got a few bob in your pocket titanium wire can be read by the dna 40 chip

for the purposes of heat regulation

dont know if all or any of the foregoing is right but I couldn't think of anything else to say

and I'm too miffed at Innokin to go to bed yet

 

[vince01]

The vaporshark dna 30 has just come onto my radar

but I think I would have to get verified and look at a

pre owned model

Bob has got the 40 chip VS vinnie, and uses nichrome wire. Best to ask him for advice if you are a bit unsure

 

[vince01]

I see from Bobs' sig he has a VS 30 I'll have to

see what he thinks of it - tomorrow, I'm off to bed now

Yep he`s got both vinnie, night mate.
