finally got that return call - what a waste had the feeling they're trying to pull a fast one but don't know enough to be sure so here i am.
first of all here is what i'm considering as a replacement for my landline

AT&T Wireless Internet - Price, Features and Specs - AT&T
i was told that i cannot use the wifi or internet module for the lynx l5100 because this gadget does not provide the same wifi as a comcast router for example, the same reason was given for the etherport connection.
and here is why i think he's full of it: he tells me the cellular module is the only thing i can use and estimates 4 to 5 hrs labor to install and program!
now i have watched installation videos and the modules for wifi and cellular just snap in place! so where is this guy coming from?

If you have a L5100 you can use L5100-wifi or GSMVLP5-4G module without any issue

Now for that 4-5 hours to install and program .........................................2hrs tops that what I give myself to do it just in case I have an issue which does happen.

I use 3 of the exact same atties and mods in rotation and when I clean and rewick 1 always (not the same one) seems to outshine the other 2 no matter how much I try to make them the same.

That seems to be the "Rule" & not the exception.

Are you serious?

 

[SlickWilly]

Are you serious?

I don't know, I tend to have the same experience, always one vapes better even though they are the same atty's (Aromamizer's), mods and builds. But I think it has more to do with getting the rayon spot on then the coils. My experience with rayon has been two things must be correct, right amount stuffed in the coils and the tails trimmed enough, for me, too fat a tail doesn't feed as good as a well trimmed tail. I try to get pretty thin, just enough to cover the feed holes so it won't flood the chamber and leak out the air holes when laid on it's side.

My Aromamizer was performing perfectly up until a couple days ago, I welt with less wraps this time & spaced them out more... Idk if I dropped it or what but it's performing like crap now.

I went back and "revisited" uBlock for FireFox. There is a version for "ultimate" so I installed it. Way better than the standard FireFox plug in. It's completely stopped that annoying contest popup here.

Hey guys how do I lock the resistance on an older (non-color) dna again?

 

[BillW50]

Hi kiba, locking the resistance is by locking the DNA first and then hold down both fire and up buttons. I do this all of the time with battery swappable DNA mods. As I noticed if you don't, the DNA will sometimes forget the cold resistance while swapping batteries. Locking in ahead of time, then it never forgets.

Sweet, I always forget. Normally when I swap batteries it jumps around for a bit but then corrects itself but rn I have a wire in that keeps reading wrong cold every time & where I'm at I don't have the time/tools to fix it.

You know Cig, with all due Respect. I'm going to disagree Pretty/simetrical don't mean well performing.
IMO it's more about size/positioning of coil, how the Air flows around & proper wicking.
It becomes a balance of how fast/much juice comes into the coil as compared to how much Air & how its flowing around in the chamber. (lots of variables)

The more practice you can get on a particular atty, the more it will give up it's secrets on how it wants to work best. It's trial & error & it's not easy! You can't see whats going on
You have to guess, the wicking could be right but the coil hight wrong, or there could be to much air flow for the speed of the wicking. When you start adding all these variables up.
To get the right size coil positioned perfectly wicking just right & the Air flowing around how it should in the right proportion. To get that epic build is rarer than "Hens Teeth"

There are different degrees of "Working Well" All my atty's work well
But like today, all of a sudden, this atty is working better than usual, Why?
I pulled it a part & For the life of me I can't tell, every thing looks the same as usual. The vapour is thick, dense & more flavourful! WHY! IDK
But some thing is different obviously, it's working Way Better

You know, I'm just touching the tip of the ice berg on variables.
Wire type, temp, juice viscosity,wicking material, personal taste! ect..ect...
It's like trying to make the Perfect vegetable soup Blind Folded

You've missed my point Steamer. All the things you've mentioned are easily controllable except wicking. Sure each atty is different and requires trial and error to get the most out of it but once all those things like coil selection,coil positioning, airflow settings etc are established they are no longer variables, they are constants. My point was that coil winding tools and coil setting techniques can remove the coils themselves from the variables list and add them to the list of constants. That should leave wicking as the only variable in obtaining a repeatable epic vape.
Winding coils by hand around a screwdriver, poking the legs in the post holes and yanking the coils into position was just not consistent enough for me. I spent too much time chasing shadows, doubting myself and wondering why sometimes I got an epic vape and other times just so-so.

"(not the same one)"

That's where I'm at too ie the wicking is the only variable in my identical setups.

Push and hold the + and Fire buttons simultaneously with the mod locked.

What intrigues me is that I can use the same strip carefully cut the same width all along it, pulling it (same strip) through the coils and it seems like the same tension. And my tails are short since they are in small bottom fed atties, cut with the scissors at the edge of the atty, and pushed against the posts. One time I traded bottles shortly after rewicking just to eliminate that variable. Must be the tiniest difference in wicking that I cannot quantity.

 

[cigatron]

I get the break-in with the Ti, But with the SS430 I glow it red hot, So break in is minimal.

Your breakin period for Ti can be eliminated by pulsing the coils at low wattage (barely visibly red) a dozen times. I dry burn them the same way.

I can't quantify it either. It may just be the two variables that we have the least control of; density of the rayon/cotton rope/pad/ball and the density/size of the fibers themselves. Those would def change the way it feels.

I need a recommendation. My GF has been using Kangertek Nano mod and atty since they first came out, she is very partial to them. Of course they are now scarce.

I built her a couple of the Hanamodz DNA200s and she has warmed up to them. She runs them in wattage mode at about 20ish watts with her old Nanotanks.

What is a good current 22mm cartridge atty that would compare to the Nano in terms of hit?

Are you talking about the Kanger Subtank Nano Mike?

Why not a direct replacement?
Kangertech TopTank Nano Tank
They even have the higher resistance coils 1.2 1.5
