Frustrated, sitting around with a spare drilled joye cone, a bulli base and a vapemate...with no adapters.* Sometimes, the simplest ways are the best...
*And no talent, tools, hope, brains, etc.

Okay, just did a oxidized ss wick with about 4 turns of kanthal to use with the rednecked-up ego cone and vape mate, darwin's showing a reading of approx 1.4 ohms at 7.5 watts.
After a bit of seasoning, it's going pretty darned good. Puts out a cloud of really light, airy, but incredibly tasty vape. The flavors seem to really pop and come alive with this setup. I prefer thick vape, but can get used being able to really taste my juice like this. Not bad TH, either. The difference in other attys is that I can taste my orange creme juice with them, but this is only a step or two down from actually eating an orange cremesickle. Man, oh man, I gotta make up some cheesecake juice tomorrow!
Still a bit of a learning curve with this mod and the vapemate...wants to flood after a horizontal squeeze if I'm not careful, but the excess seems to be easily ejected out of the air inlet hole on the side. And just like the tubeless vapemate with regular attys, holding this setup at an upward angle-like I'm finishing a tall glass of beer-seems to lessen the amount of bottle squeezing necessary. It's not quite a magical neverending, flavorful suck-stick, but it's pretty darned good; God knows I've had a lot more trouble with a lot of other juicers in the past for less of a payoff.
Again, the taste! Wife and I are both giving up sugar, and I dare not let her try it with a fruit or sweet juice in it: she's got a history of mod-jacking. Normally, I'd question the sanity of anyone who was trying to give up sugar and tobacco at the same time, but this might just be the ticket. Hell, I don't know if I want to let ANY female try this thing out. Even if they were really hot! That's what the experience is like on this thing.
If it consistently vapes like this-even if I have to recoil it every two or three days-I'll be somewhere squarely in the middle of happy camper territory. And setting up a homestead.
Say....anybody want to trade a bulli a-2 classic for a genesis line? PM me immediately!

Follow up...it occurred to me that if vape with the air inlet hole facing up instead of down when vaping with the bulli in a horizontal position, it may be less likely to leak if I over juice it.
And that turns out to be correct. Overjuicing is harder, less bottle squeezing, even BETTER taste with a really wet wick!
I'm a fair bit closer to the magical suck stick now...

Wow lol! I have noticed the same thing about the air hole. Leaking out through it isn't a terrible problem but it can and does happen...
Are you using SS or bulli wick? OH MY GOD, THE TASTE on the SS! Unless you're a diehard ego tank user, you have got to try a vapemate on this puppy!
Clyde... TBH, the Vape should be very thick and tasty. Not airy at all. MAkes me think you are flooding the coil, or not getting air to it. I notice a difference if I make sure the air hole is up vice being pointed at the ground when I take a toot.
Also, a 4 wrap 1.4Ω coil... usually when I see this... shorted somewhere (unless your wick is as thin as a needle). I like to see 1.6Ω or greater. All the coils should fire evenly, if there is a short you will see a glowing hotspot before the hole coil starts to glow. So my theory is you have a slight short, and are flooding it to cool off this hotspot, then hence getting thin vapor.
Trust me, you will know it when you get it right.

All coils glow red hot....may have to retake readings, as the first was noted as soon as I made the coil. Vape is thicker after a bit of use.
Good gravy, not only do I literally want to sing about this setup, I'm damn near about to compose a musical about it!

OK, then that is a good sign then. What are you running it on? How is the coil in relation to your air hole?
"Good gravy, not only do I literally want to sing about this setup, I'm damn near about to compose a musical about it!"
I guess that means it is rocking and you found a new nirvana?

With the two screws at 12 and 6 o clock, the air hole is roughly at 11. Not optimum, know I need to drill it at either 9 or 3, right?

I think you will be alright as long as the wick/coil is on that side... But yes air hole at 9 or 3 is correct, and then if you drill it at 9, well that is the side you want your coil on to start with. If it is not enough TH, move the coil to the other side. When doing a fiber wick, I lift the coil up between the screws, but it does still make a difference.
So,someone's in the same boat as me... Thanks Butters..I got an update on the 18th that it arrived in Atlanta,and again was sorted through the facility.UNFORTUNATLY,it was too late to be delivered on saturday,and as we all know monday is a freakin holiday,so i quess i'll have to wait till Tuesday.
Hows it going with yours?Any update yet?

lucky you,no i havent,but im sure n.y. prollly got all that shipment out at about the same time,so im thinkin mine will be here early this week.thanx for the update,let me know how you like it.i already have a my-t atty,its almost the same thing,curios to see if theres any performance difference.i will let you know.while ive been waiting ive been turning out parts for my genesis attys,and a2 type also.cant wait till i can find some real time to turn them out!
Well, after about a week of using the A2-TM I have to say I still can't get on with anything that resembles an ego tank. Just couldn't get it to wick consistently, either juice on the tongue or wicking ok but virtually no flavour. I tried a couple of different tanks, shortening and lengthening the coil wick and rolling the vertical wick with 2 and 3 strands but to no avail.
In the end I had a bit of a diy session and ground down an ego cone cover to accept a 701 drip tip, popped a 1mm hole in it and started dripping. Result, love it! Now I'm getting great flavour and whilst I need to experiment more with varying wick loop lengths, pretty consistent feeding too.

@MrGiggly, I may get great results maybe because I use 80/20 PG/VG with the A-T and TM. When people see the vapor and try mine and get the flavor, they cannot believe it is an eGo-T. I use a single strand of wick in the SS and ensure the SS is not pinched off (I rill it around a needle with the fiber wick in it. Perhaps you are rolling the SS mesh to tight? Or maybe try a less fine mesh...

I got decent taste results in the default config on the tm myself. Doesn't hold a candle to dripping....but definitely a lot better than some of the reviews and critiques I've read.
Thanks JR, I'll give that a whirl and see how I get on. How do you set your coil wick up? Seems the recommendation is to keep it really short, so that its about flush with the ends of the screws but I find I'm getting quite a bit of juice collecting at the base of the atty if I do that.
