Do you mean to literally fluff it, like push against the end of the wick before putting it against the deck, so the cotton kind of rises above the top of the coil a bit?
Make a dam, so the air goes under the coil and up the drip tip, otherwise your kinda wasting air, not getting all the flavor possible.

This is my way of thinking anyway...I could be wrong, only been at this for about a year. DB certainly has much more experience than me.

Indeed, only set it to the deck before fluffing it to coils. If you've cut the length right, you'll be grand.

I can't seem to get them to respond to my messages. I have tried. If you have any sway or were interested in putting a bug in their ears I would be eternally greatful.
I just messaged them, maybe if we all shoot them a message they will get the hint.

I'm wondering if I've been over stuffing my wick all along, and it never showed me it's problem until now...if that's true it opens up a whole new world.
Maybe... The remm and the stumpy will spit like Cobras if you over wick them. Try the stumpy top fed with a single z coil if you want true misery. After wicking don't drop a bunch of juice directly on the coil. Just a little tiny bit to hurry the capillary effect. Soak the tips not the coil itself.

Go for it. The twisted cubed is one on my short list of attys I really want to do. That and the one fishwater posted. I love the new twinned dual post concept.

A little of both, living in NH sheep are scared of men anyway & it's bleaker than a Chinese food restaurant when it comes to stray cats....
You know,why Scottish men wear kilts right?

A very valid point. Never thought about it, but I never wet a fresh wick with anything other than a squonk.

I didn't say that.... The point is I have to work a little harder. I already have $15k of my money invested in the LBC it will happen.

"The LBC will cost me about 25k to bring to market and recent changes in the market cutting me back to ten pieces or none more often than not is going to stifle or stop the LBC in its tracks."

^^that paragraph had me scratchin my head,LMK if you decide to take pre-order payment.im sure alot here would do a pre-order.if you were rich you could just fund away but i dont think thats the case.i reread the 1st part where you said nothing is gonna stop it...er something like that.the above paragraph is why i asked what i asked....

****Please Read*****

Has anyone noticed most of the attys worth bottom feeding come bottom fed already now? Vector2, pancake, Narda, Hobo; No Pain, Helfire, even the Nectar? It seems I may have done my job a little too well. Perhaps it's time to get off the cross and go back to clones part time until something great comes up. In the last 30 days I have modded less than 40 attys which takes me back to 2014 numbers. It seems anymore no one wants to sell to me they want to handle their own sales and drive up prices. This comes at the worst possible time for me.
The LBC will cost me about 25k to bring to market and recent changes in the market cutting me back to ten pieces or none more often than not is going to stifle or stop the LBC in its tracks. Initially the Releaux133bf was going to be the solution but that's not going to happen. I had hoped for wide spread adoption of the Petriv2 and hopefully it's accepted and loved but I always have a plan B. Plan B is doing clones again. It's not my first choice of directions to take Catfish and I'm sure at some point I will regret it but it is what it is.
That said what would you like to see? It seems Ross has grabbed the Narda clone which mortified me at first but the more I thought about it Nareg has done it to himself. I have gotten my feet wet in the dealing with machine shops game and the difference between driving prices up, feeding flippers and actually meeting your demand is nothing more than adding a few zeros to your purchase order and hiring help to get it done. It's not rocket science is assembling and finishing pre-made parts. As the folks that have been with me for a year or more know I always try to meet demand no matter the cost to my social and or family life, it's just who I am. If you want something, and I can get it, you will have it. Period. Modders can't or won't meet my demand so I will have to do it the other way. In regards to the Narda until Ross sends me an email stating he doesn't want to do them anymore the Narda is his. If he taps out I will run with them. (Just thought that needed to be said).
It's a touchy subject. But here is my opinion whether it is right or wrong. I used to buy clones all the time at first because I thought it was crazy to pay $50(that seemed a lot back then) for an atty & get the same thing for$10- clone. But after getting a lot of duds I finally bought my first authentic & haven't looked back. That being said I have quit spending so much & I wouldn't mind trying Nipple, Snappy etc before sinking a lot into authentic Do what is best for you. You gotta eat. I have thought about this before & agree with others.....MAKE AN ATTY!! Which I don't know crap about it & I know it isn't simple. But once u do u can make money off accessories. Hell, I have 4 Narda caps & 3 tips for 1 Narda. Shoot I bet before you even made it you could have 200 spoken for because we know if u do it will be done right.
