Just wanted to show off my new avatar. Turns out, it's really a pain locating different colored O-rings.
Can you post a bigger pic of that please PapaSloth. Where did you get those colored o-rings anyways?
I re-wicked my Big Buddha and thought I take a few pics to show what works well for me.
Coils are 2.2mm ID, 12 wraps of 28ga, mounted at an angle to face the wells. Build reads exactly 1.0Ω on my Cloupor T5

Wicked fully with CVS Organic Cotton Balls:

Put the tails up, installed chimney bottom, then I cut the wicks flush with the top of the barrel.

I tuck the wick tails down and press them into their respective corners, leaving the deck space open between them, including leaving the juice channel exposed. Prime the wicks, and re-assemble.

I have already drilled the holes in the center block to 5/64". Not sure it would be possible to go much larger than this.
I run this build at 30-35 Watts on my T5, currently vaping a 40/60 pg/vg liquid. Great flavor and vapor, and never a dry hit.
Am a toothpaste & Brush mod/rba cleaning vaper too.!! Polishes, removes grit betweenteeththreads, easy to reach deep down tubes, heck, dentist even gave me a small pointy one for those hard to get to threads. Removersplaqueoxidation build up, and leaves yourbreathmod/rba's minty fresh clean
Yeah, just got back from the lab, mixed 400 ml of Strawberry Blackapple, 400 ml English Blackberry Tobacco, and 300 ml of NY Strawberry ginger cheese cake. The first 2 are relatively new recipe's but were rock solid from conception, so made as much as possible, the cheese cake juice is a new experiment so did a small test batch of 300 ml Damn, just over a quart of juice mixed up. Now need to build the Cerberus 26650 tri coil dripper, liking the looks of this one. Very nicely built. Now just have to figure out which mod it can hybrid on.
Oh, and just an fyi, both the Mutant and Tree of Life mods 510 cap, will thread onto the El Gigante.
As for DIY juice, Wizard Labs is my one stop DIY juice and supply shop. Orders over $60, I believe, are free shipping. Purchase all my lab ware, base and extracts from them. And now that they are all moved into their new larger facility, don't seem to be out of 100 mg nic base as often.
I'm quite interested in this bad boy but I don't own a 26650. How would this thing do on an IPV2 or a 18650 tube-type mod?
Do your wicks look like this:
Also, never lay your Big Buddha on its side (or any Kayfun-style atty, for that matter). That's one of the major causes of leaking. Always leave it standing upright with both juice channels covered by liquid.
Hey Dice!!
Really 1,100 mil's mixed at once?? You truly amaze me!! I get giddy when I roll out 8-10 30 mil's!! I can't even begin to imagine mixing that much at once lol!! Like everything else I'll probably get there before I know it!! I'm already thinking I need bigger bottles! We may have to talk about this strawberry ginger cheesecake I love me some cheesecake!!! I've only been doing DIY since Nov. so I'm still learning, but I've got about 5 recipes I really like...but you know me I want more!! I do truly love this stuff we call vaping...it is tha shiznit!! In April it will be 2 years off stinkies for me!!!
