leaves you feeling a bit jumpy huh !
...that's why I had to get away from California

Not so much jumpy. It's just that I'm pretty sure that when my house was built,...they pro'ly didn't take earfquakes into consideration... :oops:

I was layin' there in bed, being gently shaken back and forth, thinking......please don't crack the brick or the sheetrock... :unsure:




Got 'eeem!!!! :thumbs:


Thanks, B! :toast:

The way the wick is setup, the air goes around the tails and up through the coil. The tails do impede on the airflow some but not too much. The vapor isn't really that hot, much less than it looks. I've tried the askewed coil but didn't like the wicking. I also get no leaking out of the air-holes like the other builds.
Most I have seen were setup the same as yours and the first comments usually were something to the tune of the airflow left something to be desired and they expected more form it. Not sure what more they expected cause the airflow was basically cut off by the huge cotton roll that completely blocked it off, (insert common sense here), and then the atty was listed in the classies... The only build that makes sense for the atty are the dual verticals that Nathan has been using in his, imo anyway, but to each his own... I'm sure Ohman didn't design they atty around verticals, but they just make sense to me.

For the last 15+ yrs I was in California I was always amazed when I turned on the news and they said one had just happened... I think the last one I felt prior to leaving in 2012 was the Northridge quake in 1994. They just happened so often and after a while they just weren't noticeable at all to me... :sleep:

Tornadoes on the other hand....:shock: Scare the bejesus out of me.... We've had 2 come through town in the last 3 yrs and everytime we get the slighest storm in the area I'm on edge it seems.

Totally agree about the airflow if blocked, not very good. I've got the tails a'coupla mm from the air-holes allowing air to come right through. The wicks also block the juice from coming out of the air-holes, something I can never get right in the other builds.

I do like the dual verts but can't get the wicking right, leaks right out of the air-holes.

I had the same problem with a lot of atty's and leaking out the AFC, but its because I use RxW exclusively. The only atty's I have found so far that I've been able to control leaking are the 454 V2 and the O-16's that I run now. I run verticals in the 454 V2...

Maybe you should ask Nathan what his secret is. I've never heard him mention any leaking with his. Great looking coils btw...

i run RxW as well and typically on either Dark Horses or Velocities (so basically big cloud chasing atties with lots of air). i've found that by leaving one end of the wick a bit longer and touching the deck, they won't leak, because that tail 'mops up' any oversquonks.

I run my O-16's with a center coil between the posts. No problems with leaking. I used to run duals with coils offset on each side with only one side angled down to the drip well and wicked with the tail only coming out of the angled side down to the drip well. The other side of the coil was snipped off almost even with the end of the coil.

5.6 magnitude earthquake, about 60 miles from here....... :ohmy:

:D


Screens rattled a little against the storm windows kinda like a soft snare drum here in SW MO. Nothing like what we felt when a truck with 44,000 pounds of dynamite was shot a few miles out of town on I44 46 years ago. That woke all of Sprinfield up and broke out windows all over town.

Single center coil FTW. I have 3 OL's and all 3 are setup like this. Easy to build (once you figure out the logistics of it) and the flavor is unparalleled. I like a single center coil more in the OL better than in the NarDA.

What build do you like using in your narda? Ive been trying diff builds but havnt found the one yet. Where can i get a clear cap?
I run a single, parallel, 28 gauge at an angle. Can't remember the wraps or the ohms (I think 5 and .3ish)

Got the Chris Mun Bell on a Facebook buy :) If you search for his name, or "Bell Vape", you might find something.

EDIT: like so:
