1. Yes now they are available, dont forget to put a note in your order.
2. About the match: the ss 304 we use in Hippo are very shiny and clear material so i think you can go with this. The Hippo also help you to avoid the gap between the provari cone and the tank in your avatar

Ok, I have been using my Diver for a couple of weeks and I need to get some wire so I can rebuild some coils. I'm going to get some ready wire in NR-R-NR, my best option is to get my resistance of choice (I'm going with 1.55ohm) in the longest NR leads as possible, correct?

So I should get the 1.5 - 1.5" NR, right?

I assume I should pickup the Ekowool Silica cord as well.

Ready wires and silica getting delivered today.

With the ready wires, how many wraps or do I wrap all of the resistance wire so both the welds of the NR wire touch the silica?

 

[raqball]

You have to have ALL of the resistance wire touching the silica.. If you have a little NR wire touching it does not really matter.

@Violy: Some pieces were left before a few hours and i thought it is still available.
Anyway it will be available again the first days of October

Well poo.

I went ahead and got a flangeless since they may sell out by the time the hippo comes around again.
I'll just need to pay another $12 shipping

That's ok though. It gives me some time to think about if I'll want a second hippo or not.

i'm so glad i ordered a flangeless when i did! they sure didnt last long... now if customs would just release the damn thing haha.

Ok. Got one built. Used a 1/16 drill bit and did 2mm doubled silica.

I'm getting some dry hits. What could/would cause that?

Several things could cause dry hits with the Diver..

1) Make sure the wick ends are not to long. They should not touch the threads
2) Make sure the juice hole is centered between the wick ends: ===O=== (= is wick ends and O is juice hole)
3) Coil wrapped to tight around the wick
4) Tank overfill. Make sure the tank is only filled to about 80% max

1. Check. Cut them short.
2. Check. That was the first thing I did when I got it. Mark the feed hole.
3. I used a drill bit so I wouldn't think its too tight.
4. Half full.

Any other ideas?

That's all I haz...

Maybe Konstantinos can chime in and offer some other solutions. As far as I know, the things I listed are it, as far as solving dry hits goes..

I'm think you are choking the wick. Either the wire is too tight or the wicks are too tight in the slots.

I think I got it. Took it apart and pulled the wick up a little and trimmed just a little from the end.

No mas dry hits.

Thanks everyone!

I would "Like" your post Sooner but the like button isn't working. Either is reply with quotes. The forum is acting screwy again.

 

[Firestorm]

I liked it for you

Ha! Thank you. Things are back to normal now so I'll go back a LIKE it.

I think leaving the wick ends to long is a common issue with the Diver when people 1st get it.

When I got my 1st one, I remember thinking 'no way the wick ends should be that short' The answer was 'heck yes, they actually should be that short'

Now that you have the setup nailed down, future builds will be a breeze!

Awww! You fixed it before I could mouth off some stuff!

Quoting you so I can refer back to this. Need to rebuild very soon!

Are flangless divers still available? Also, will a hippo V2 match a chrome/polished Provari?

Unlikely a match, but should still look great!

I personally am more of a Satin Black guy myself, but I do have to say: Sexy!

How does the finish of the hippo compare to the finish of the Provari top cap?
