hmm I'm aiming the holes on the open space just past the posts (one hole open on each side). Guess I'll have to aim more on the posts. That seems to work!
Thanks!

I recall that CH said to aim 15 degrees off the post. But I thought that couldn't be right because I'd be blocking the airflow partially. So I went about 30 deg off the posts and that caused an annoying whistle. Didn't experiment enough because that cap is so tight!
I have 2...they both make a cash register sound......

I fooled around with single coil builds in mine, for a while. I didn't like any of them as well as my usual dual coil build. Air holes aimed at the coils.

That is the way I do mine dual coils, aimed at the coils.

I have a 'one trick pony' build, sorta like Toms, I guess. Tried and true. Everything gets built about the same. 2mm diameter duals, 7 wraps, 26g, about .4 ohms.

I tried my son's Subtank at .5ohms full air, I quess I'm just an old smoker turned vaper, single coil MTL for me.

Ms Rule has one of those. It works for her. I've never been able to get her interested in bottom feeders.

I go back and forth...usually dual coils...24ga, 6 wraps or .26 nichrome 6 wraps 2.5mm. The only singles I've really liked were Claptons...but that fancy stuff never lasts very long for me. Kinda fun every once in awhile, though.

Dual coils are too strong for me. I'm a single coil tootle vaper at 15 watts kanthal and 20 watts titanium. Tried nickel for two days but skipped to titanium once I got a couple Sunboxes. Still use mostly tanks and mechs though.

I run 2 of my stumpy's single coil for TC and one dual Kanthal with no whistle out of any of them. I have one air hole half-way open for TC and one air hole fully open for dual's. Air holes are not at the posts.

Are the single coils between the posts? Like a Z? or parallel to the posts. I was getting whistling with a Z coil but not when the coil is parallel to the posts.

When you are paying$27 for shipping that's how you do it! I hope you aren't upset with me but the Hastur you sent me was the first one with the obnoxious logo on it, I sent you one of mine from the improved batch. Both authentic but the logo was hideous.
