I think he stepped up his production,there is a madness going on right now,if it takes too long,people will drop down the list

Still on the 10 + 1 a week alternating Minis and Megas from what I have seen and I keep a pretty good eye on the thread.
What happened recently was the guy that updates the list removed everyone that was only on the suspended hybrid list and removed everyone that was previously on there but was marked sold up till now.
Counting it up I am there are 43 Minis before mine and 53 before yours. So assuming everyone takes theirs as their spots come up and Darren doesn't take a week off it will be 10ish weeks for me and 12ish weeks for you on the Mini. Close to double that on the Megas as there are alot more of them spoken for on the top of the list.
Really looking forward to them so it is going to seem long.

Here is a small teaser of my rebuildable collection:
Of course,I have yet to receive my Clockworks rta,clear window for the DiD and my Russian stufz
From left to right: 4x G-LV,DID,2x Scubagen V3

Clockworks RTA came in this morning \o/
That looks great on there Martin, can you pm me details about getting one of these? Thx bud
Edit, NM I found the thread and the site......might be an rda and rta in my future. Let me know what you think of it man

Not sure about the RDA as I see a few ending up in the classies,but that thing vapes well!
Easy to setup too,I used a small screwdriver to drive the wicks down the tiny holes but the rest was a cool breeze.
Ended up using 34 Kanthal at 6 turns and whipped out a 5.2 ohms coil
Vaping at 5V on the Vmax beast,its awesome.

So my Steam Machine VST arrived today. I've literally just put it together, juiced it up, and have been vaping it for about 20 minutes, but so far, damn, this thing rocks. The VST (Variable Steam Temperature) part of it actually works quite well; fully extended the vape is really warm, though to get full flavour you need to bump up the voltage which makes it uncomfortably warm so I had to back the vapor tube off about halfway. Still, so far, I'm really impressed, and love the look of the thing. Compliments eGo batteries really well, especially if you have a chromed one. No dry hits yet and the wick is still plenty wet, so the curious pseudo-cartridge system seems to be doing its job so far, but we'll see how far it can drain the filler before the dratties hit.
I have almost ordered a Steam Machine a couple times especially after the last update but the filler has me a lil nervous. I am looking forward to a review after you have had a bit of time with it.
Just recieved a couple new Penelopes and a used Oddy and I am enjoying them. Threads feel a bit rough on the Penelope that I have wrapped and it makes it a bit tough to fine adjust the juice feed though.

I am really looking forward to Switcher having his rebuildables supplies fully stocked. Desperately in need of no resist wire. Can't believe they only sent the Penelopes with only one wire set-up, real neat combined no resist/resist wire though.
After a bit of use my Penelope's fluid control has gone from stiff to smooth as butter. Keep playing with it and it will get better.
Next time it is empty I will have to run it up and down the threads a few times and see if that helps, thanks.
Not blaming you at all, the filler system was a big curiosity for me too, and reminded me of going back to the bad ol' two-piece cart+atty days. But after about an hour total vape time so far I have to say, it's still going, and I'm well beyond the point where I can attribute performance to whatever juice was in the wick itself, so it's definitely pulling juice from the filler. Now the question I'm working on answering is how much it'll be able to get at. With old cart systems you were lucky to get the top 1/3rd of the juice in the cart while the rest remained trapped and useless. However, it does come with extra filler material so you can tailor the amount of filler to your juice mix -- less for thicker juices, more to hold thinner stuff.
Yeah, same here. The Steam Machine did come with a decent amount of resistance and no-resistance wire -- probably enough for half a dozen coils if you don't pull too much you'll need to trim -- and also comes with a wick and coil already mounted (mine ohmed out at 1.9) and a second premade wick and coil, so it's got enough to keep you going for a while. Still, I do want to get more from Switcher when he gets it in. I've got a ton of Kanthal and already have more wick coming.
So, I've been eyeing up rebuildables in the last week or so, after actually sitting down and watching a review or two. I've gone from "Why would anyone want to *do* that?" to "Hey, this is actually really cool!". Problem is, is that I feel like I'm starting all over again, knowledge-wise.
From what I gather, the DID is a good, readily available, not overly expensive way to get into the world of rebuildables. And ... it's a Genesis-style, which are pretty good, performance-wise? I think?
And there may be other styles out there? Like an Odysseus? Achilles? Helen of Troy? Am I doing it wrong?
Lots more o' that-there learnin' stuff to cram into this cranium, I guess.
I'd eventually like to build one of my own, but that'd probably end up as one big Charlie-Foxtrot, seeing as I have no machining experience whatsoever. Still, I'm nothing if not stubborn. Maybe in a few years.
I'm gonna have to head over to the modding forum and try and find a primer on this stuff, so I can at least sound like I know what I'm talking about.

what Mr.Mike said....to a T...I think lol!
I love the idea of rebuilding my own in case of a giant Gov. Charlie-foxtrot...but at last i am not a electrician zap!
I am still trying to wrap my head around ohm's vs volts lol!

There are two main types of rebuildables:
Regular rebuildables: Usually use glass fiber wick, and resistance wire mated with no-resistance wire on either end. Often as not these are found as both dripping atties and tank systems, sometimes (usually optionally) both. Or in the case of the Steam Machine, a hybrid filler system. The average rebuildable generally produces excellent vapor, clean flavour, and solid throat hit, though arguably, not quite as good as a Genesis system, and the wick and coil usually doesn't last as long -- a few weeks perhaps. However, they're easier to rebuild so more frequent wick changing isn't much hassle. Standard rebuildables can be modified however you like with different wicking materials like SS mesh, nextel fiber, or whatever, and many offer the ability to make dual coils.
Genesis style: Uses a stainless steel wick and resistance wire. The wire is wrapped around an oxidized, wrapped stainless steel mesh wick usually with an aperture size of 325 of 400. (The number refers to the number of holes per inch; bigger is finer and usually better suited to thinner juices) The legs of the resistance wire are held in place usually by two threaded posts with screws you wrap the trailing legs of the coil around and screw down to hold them in place. Typically Genesis style tanks (top coil/bottom fed ones anyway) produce massive clouds of vapor, extremely clean taste, tons of throat hit, and wicks/coils last a very long time, often two or three months before they need changing (with regular maintenance). The tradeoff is that there's more prep work involved cutting, wrapping, and oxidizing the wick. But since you usually won't have to do that often, it's not generally a big deal. Genesis systems are most often tank-based but may also have a drip option. There is a bit of a learning curve to making wicks for these, as you have to oxidize the wicks effectively enough that it won't conduct electricity when the coil is wrapped around it. There's also a bit of an art to wrapping the coil and making sure you don't have any hot or cold spots (signs of a loose wrap or insufficient oxidizing in an area of the wick).
