Uh ... wha??? :blink:

That is once you heat your soldering iron, you heat some solder onto the tip of the iron before you try to solder item. That way you just basicly replace the solder onto the iron. Hmmmm, it can't explain this right but it's the best way to solder.

Why ain't the pm working?

I saw it on good ole YouTube .... gotta love it, they have vids on everything!!

Thanks!!

Oh, and I tried to PM about it, but the torch I have is the Bernzomatic 3-in-1 Micro Torch, and a can of butane.
You want?
Can I mail butane? :blink:

The thing said you had opted not to accept PMs ....

Following Matthew's instructions I'm currently using the 2mm silica wick the ERA came with in the buy. I wrapped a 6/7 coil around the shank of a 3/32 drill bit. Then pulled a doubled over piece of the 2mm wick though the center of a coil with a extra piece of the 32AWG wire. Here's what it looks like:

The vapor is decent and if I fire it without the top the smell is unbelieveable but the vaped flavor is muted like a carto...>Weird

That was the same problem I had. Let me know if drilling and more wraps works for you!

I'll try that tomorrow. Going to go back to the joye right now cause I've had it and need a real vape.:laugh: Thanks though and we'll see if I can find the 3/64's bit in our area. So far no luck at Lowe's. Brew

Brew. Try a 4/5 wrap. Get a 1.5 ohm and drill out one if the holes a bit. No muted flavor.

Brew. 1/16" is what I went up to. Just on one side.

Blu, here are my few quick tips on soldering

you can practice on paperclips or with spare bits of wire or metal :D it really does help you figure out what you're doing.

Make sure everything is clean, if it's something old or looks oxidized run some sandpaper over it

Once it's all lined up, after heating the pieces place the soldering iron point on one side of the joint and the solder on the other, let the heat from the iron pull the solder through/around the joint.

Hi AMber,
Actually he's recomending less wraps as I'm rocking 6 and he's saying to do 4 and drop it 1/2 an ohm. I was also aware of his other suggestion which is to open the single air hole to at least 3/64s if not 1/16s. I will try most of that tomorrow. I'll report back for sure. Brew

Brew also loop the wick between the posts so they lay flat in the cup.

Well, I just got kicked out for a bit. LOL

Willow - PM me your address and I can get this out Monday. Can you get butane? Can I mail it or would it blow up? LOL


De - I will go and look at Home Depot ... I was gonna go and look at goodies for my project anyway. I could probably look around for hours there ... especially in the tile area! :p
