Cheeckako requested results from the wash and prolonged air dry efforts. Fasten your seat belts, Ladies and Gents...
Was doing my volunteer gig at the local library used book store this morning, confident that one newly filled tank and the new coil installed yesterday, together with a fully charged 30w istick would carry me happily through a few hours of pricing and shelving donated books. I mean, really, Dudes and Dudettes, what could go wrong? Those of you old enough to remember the blue screen of death will identify with my feelings when the display told me, "No atomizer".
Returned home, mood improved by miles of snow-covered meadows and especially happy because the ice in the river is starting to show bits of open water.
Put on the well-washed, patiently (Give thanks for the wisdom of our fine colleague, LVM) dried coil. Hit the big button, sucked nothing vaguely resembling vapor, checked the display. No atomizer. Disassembled, tightened, etc. Nope. Moved onto the not so thoroughly dried, but well-washed coil #2. Works fine... but...showing 3.6 ohms. Decided not to vape ohms, watts, or volts, but mango e-juice. Tastes pretty good.
Conclusions? 1. One dead coil (not 'infant mortality', more like toddler) out of six is not life threatening. 2. Wash and dry? Jury still out. 3. Not sure how fingers and eyes nearing 70 yrs. old will manage rebuilding, but I may give it a try. 4. I really like the GS Air and the spirit of however one spells camaraderie here. Thanks to all of you.
