Got my Arrow/Ba Gua set yesterday. Set it up w/ a single wick, 3/4 wrap of 32g kanthal. I popped the first coil but the second was a winner. My thoughts so far:

- Setting up isn't bad, although tiny. I didn't have too much trouble getting the - connection to stay.
- Make sure the nut on the + post has a fair amount of threads showing. The wrap/trap tension on this one isn't too great. Nuts would probably be best.
- Top cap gets hot if chain vaping, so you may want to use the delrin drip tip if you do. I only did as I was in testing/tweaking mode.
- It is leak proof; left it on it's side overnight in a tupperware container just in case. Not a drop in the container.
- Some minor seeping can occur when you twist the air holes back open due to condensation.

So far I have both air holes aligned, even w/ a single wick, and the draw isn't airy. Liking it so far; wasn't sure at first, but it's the new toy on the block. Time will tell. Now to address those stiff magnets on the Ba Gua... the two look stunning though, off to the appropriate thread.

Love my Arrow. First build I did dual coils and rolled them while installed. It was a bit difficult to capture the leads. I used 30g kanthal and did 3/4 wraps. Came out to 0.9 ohms. The vape was really nice.

The next time I did the same 3/4s but I wrapped the coils with the wicks out, then inserted them and captured the leads. much much easier. That one was a net 0.7 ohms. Perfection. This is my favorite atty. I also have and love the RSST and AC9 for singles on 22mm tubes.

One other note: I tried one less wrap on each coil, but it was too hot and unstable. Was 0.5 ohms but everything got hot, including the bottom button, and it made me nervous. Vape was too hot, too. So 30g 3/4 is my sweet spot for this great little atty.

Got mine today - about one week from ordering.

It's really tiny on that deck, and this is the first genny I've set up with the spring - so dual coils took a while.... but, wow, it really performs well! Really nice flavor and vapor production, and it wicks great.
I used 6 wraps of 30 on each, reading around 1.4 ohms total.

Hey guys,

Need to replace the o rings in my arrow, I love that pluid but it's pretty tough on rubber parts. Anyone know who has them in stock? Or if anyone knows the sizes that would be very helpful also.

While I had to sell my Arrow needing cash, I know Rampage Vapor sells them although out of stock atm... I'd email them and ask about size. I'm not sure what size they are.
