No idea how accurate the measurements are.

No idea how accurate the measurements are.
NO promise..but I had to order (still on order) a new set of calipers, others went totally wonkers.. I'm no expert, but going to see what I come up with and see what I can get through the o-ring store, they do have some Teflon coated ones, but do I really want to vape teflon?
Also wonder if the Vodka bath had something to do with my colored tanks..hmm

Got my colored glasses installed, love the yellow on the black, which is also my basketball team I support colors, hence the black and yellow 
2 of 3 are leaking to various degrees but 1 I think is more from condensation. I'm still not completely sold on the KM3 yet. When they're freshly built, they're pretty damn awesome but for me, the KFv4 is much more reliable.
So far so good with Ekowool. Going to give both tanks a day or 2 to see how they work. I always used it in my KF4's.
I still have room in my survival pack..
Is the answer going back and trying a KFv4, haven't even looked much at them.. heard too many parts and backwards JFC..
Or drag out the KFL nano I have stored.. or just wait..
So many choices..so little time..

Yeah, K4 is a mess, but it's still my favorite K. Don't know why, really.
My mini doesn't leak-yet-and I hope that if it starts to do so, a set of better o-rings will help. The jury is still out.
OTOH, if SM really is working on the K5, they better introduce it soon (before August 8), or the (American) door will close on them.
I'm also keeping an eye on the Merlin. It looks promising--on paper.
Too early to panic, IMHO. We have at least two years--worst case scenario.
Ricks you be rocking into the sub-ohm next.. what's that one 1ohm?
Nah, I tried sub ohm and didn't like it. Not enough flavor for me that low. I'm using 30g kanthal and it's at 1.8ohms. Going to try SS and TC next.
SS in voltage here...not going the TC route (yet).. Got my 30g and 32g ss in.. going to see how it works out, when I get time
I prefer the nano over the mini if it wasn't for that annoying hissing sound.
Finally figured out a coil/wick that's working great!
Not so much, yesterday: Had 28g, 2.5mm, 1.5Ω in both the plus and the regular. Was getting dry hits (followed by the telltale long death fizz) on the plus, and was not seeing air bubbles. The regular V3 had muted flavor, but no dry hits.
Today I put new 28g, 2mm 1.5-1.6 Ω coils in both. When removing the old wicks I noticed that there was a lot more wick in the wells than I thought, even though I thought I had just inserted enough to touch bottom, But cotton does expand. Today I cut the wick ends shorter, frizzed them out with a hat pin, and very gingerly inserted just enough to touch bottom, and not at all stuffed or crammed.
The result? Both tanks are producing beautiful, full-bodied flavor, no dry hits and regular air bubbles! I'm a slow learner, but after a lot of "What if I try this" and "What if I try that" I believe I've finally found the build and wicking method that works great for me!

So a 2mm is working better than a 2.5? I've always wanted to try that. I'm using a 2.5mmFinally figured out a coil/wick that's working great!
