Cap replaced with a tire iron? :lol:
I can see where air flow would be a problem...
It wasn't that bad, I used my beater...

Thanks for the compliments. The cap fits. I was tryin to center the coils up to the juice slots. It vapes with good flavor but the airflow is reduced by the coil size. It will take 25w with no problem but there is not enough air to vape that high.
Ever consider using 30 or 32 gage and building a dual parallel? It's like the Freemax Starre coils. Take 2 pieces of kanthal, side by side and coil them at the same time. You still get the two coils, but save room... uses only one wick, too and may give you that air flow you're killing with the dual monsters. Hell, you can probably go to a 2.5 mm diameter with no issues if you do that... if needs be to get to your target resistance. Just food for thought.

Something like this, but less beasty:

You are correct that Mihir Mehta works for eleaf.us not eleafworld. Sorry about the error, it was getting late. I had put an email in to eleafworld earlier last night.
Thanks for confirming that Bikenstein!

There is a reddit thread and other threads where people call into question what eleafus.com really is and how they present themselves as iSmoke (eleafworld.com). I think eleafus.com should consider changing their about us page from the copy and paste that it is... I won't say anymore about it though.

No need to be sorry... I learned somethings and things are clearer now... Cheers

Hi Callipleura,

So much is assumed, or reasonably deduced, and so little is verifiable.

Hi GranFumador

I had always thought eleafworld.com was iSmoka's official website. (iSmoka being the company and actual manufacturer located in China).
. This is true at present. iSmoka previously operated from a different website, using the name iSmoka. To further muddle things, Joyetech is thought by many to own both iSmoka, a product development and mfr.co. and former product trade name, and eleaf, a product line brand name. So far we have seen actual proof only that Joyetech owns the eleaf registered trademark (Not a company), an important bit of intellectual property, and not a tangible asset. Joyetech applied for IP legal protection for the iSmoka trademark (Again, a trademark, not a company.) but abandoned the application process. So we know that Joyetech owns the eleaf name, and reasonably conjecture or speculate that Joyetech also owns the operating assets of iSmoka, which has recently branded itself as eleaf. As Gabby Hayes might have said in a black and white Western of the 1950s, "they went whichaway!", pointing in many directions.

eleafus.com seemed like they just ordered the physical goods and had US distribution rights from eleafworld.com = iSmoka.
So it would seem, but we don't know for sure. Eleafus is, possibly among other things, an internet retailer. I don't know if other U.S. retaillers order goods through eleafus.com, or through eleafworld.com, which does have wholesale information on its site.

I sent e-mails to both eleaf sites regarding the M and MS tanks. Eleafworld.com declined to reply, while the U.S. outfit denied any knowledge of the product, claiming, "We're just a distrubutor." which suggests that Sweet-Vapes, for example, buy their Ms and MSs from somebody who HAS heard of those products! Or that...perish the thought...somebody wasn't being 100% truthful.

Does any of the ownership stuff matter to us, as retail customers? Only if (A) we have warranty issues or questions, in which case it may matter a lot, or (B) we would like to know product release and/or discontinuance intentions to inform our own purchase plans. Otherwise? Some may care more than others if the parent corp. is respected,
or if it disclaims affiliation with likely subsidiaries. I am in the 'don't care much' cohort, as I depend on references and reviews from trusted users.

Regards,
GF


Edit to add—as mentioned last night, and supporting the notion of common ownership, or at least close affiliation of Joyetech and the iSmoka/eleaf entity, eleafus.com and Joyetech

share a physical address (street, number, building, and suite N°) in California. They list the same telephone number.

Well here's a new one - my cat just knocked two of my iSticks off of a table and both drip tips on the tanks went flying. One of them, however, broke, with the part that goes into the top of the tank, STILL in it! Of course it was my pretty marble, ming style, blue one too. I love my cat. I love my cat. I love my cat. :facepalm:

And the cat looked at you with the, "Look what someone did" look on their face...:lol:
No, they look at you with the "look what I did... what are you going to do about it?" look on their face. Cats. They are their own little balls of personality. And brainz.

Dual coil rebuild in a GS Air M.
View attachment 478350 View attachment 478352
I made the coils 2mm and 8 wraps to try and get the highest ohm coil possible. Could only get .7 with the 28g. It works but not enough air flow for me. Maybe removing the insulator would help or usin 30g or 32g to make smaller coils. Not worth it. :)
WOWWWEE! Take a look at that pic!!! Nice COILING, there, Bike!
@LynnNC - you're slackin'. Next time I send you coils, I expect them to be rebuilt like Bike does it.

Not sure How Cats Know, or How a Cat can do it.

But if Multiple things are going to be Knocked Over by a Cat, it is Always the one that you Like the Most that is the one that Breaks.

Superglue something like a qtip stick to the inside of the broken tip. Use VERY little glue so it doesn't get into your tank. Let it dry and yank her out. Might be worth using two or three sticks to get some leverage.
