Evolv-ing Thread

You know since I started squonking, nothing else taste very good anymore.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. And to make things worse, it's on super cheap Wasp Nano with half open airflow. Really liked the Hadaly but the build deck could have been longer. My Entheon had almost a stifled airflow and no lip for the cap to rest on.

Do agree that a dripper/BF'er makes the best flavour Nothing I have produces the flavour notes my Pulse 22's do But! I have tanks, that come close! The Kylin Mini, for Me has taken Flavour production from a tank to the Next level

Squonking is more of a novelty for me, just something fun to do. (Says the guy with 6 squonkers and a box full of BF RDA's )

I get excellent flavor from my RTAs and I dislike having to build for the squonker. I'm to used to throwing whatever framed stapled goathoof mohawk alien coils in a tank and cranking up the power.

That's funny because I absolutely hate the Pulse 22, I can't get any decent flavor from it and the airflow adjustment drives my OCD crazy... I've built the Pulse 65 ways past Sunday and it sits in the MEH box of RDAs.

The Goon, Castle, B2K, Aeronaut and Medusa Reborn I could not live without though.

Dislike the Wasp too, whistles like a MFer... Can't stand an RDA that one has to fine tune the coil size, height or placement. It's just me, there is lot's of love for that little RDA.

I'm a part time BF'er also, Have been from way back in the Reo, RM days. I tried every BF atty under the Sun! Found faults with every one! Some I just couldn't stand to use ever again.
The Pulse 22 was a game changer for me & BF'ing Now every BF mod I own (7) has a Pulse 22 on top. I raise the coil way up so the AFC pipes hit the bottom of the coil. For Me it works the Best! I don't even browse the new BF Atty's any more!

What build do you put in it? I shouldn't even ask, because I can see this will be a exercise in futility for me... But I'm always up to try it again... I'm a sucker for punishment I actually owned an OBS Nano, Goblin Mini V2/V3 and a PoS Theorem...

There is much love for those too, any good? Scarce as hens teeth.

Do you guys think the reason flavor is better is because with a tank, as the juice feeds the wicks it creates a vacuum inside the tank and the air has to make it's way past the tails and through the feed holes to maintain equal pressure?

I experimented yesterday with thinning the rayon tails more in my mizer builds then I usually do, I thinned them a lot, to the point when they are wet and translucent you can see the feed holes through the tails, pretty thin. I rebuilt two of them that way yesterday and I'm getting some of the best flavor and large amounts of vapor, some of the best I've ever got with these mizers (V1's & V2's).

Here's a pic of one I did a few days ago, looked good but the flavor and lack of vapor was disappointing, the tails on those I did yesterday had the tails thinned another 50%. I think the thinner tails is less of a restriction and allowing the air to get in and reduce the vacuum easier, that's my thought anyways. Regardless, they are vaping nicely, what ever the reason, now I just have to be able to repeat those builds for consistency...

Sat down at the bench and finally was changing out bad and glitchy screens on my DNA200 mods (DX200's and ERM's).
One board in a ERM, would not take the changes I made in escribe. I was changing the presets and it just would not take the changes. Changed the board, soldered it all in connected the battery and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, No connect thru the USB to escribe! or show that it was charging either... Bad USB on the board.

NOW the question, has anyone tried recently to get a board that was picked up in one of the co-ops way, way back RMA'ed? I sent in a request but with not much else to do was wondering if I should spend the time worrying if Evolv will rma the board.

Thanks to the extra boards and screens I got from the co-ops, all devices are ship shape and working flawlessly. DX200 mods will stay DNA200's but the ERM+ will get the 250 boards!

I usually do 50% thinning with the tails, because any more than that screams NO to me. Like our prophet JeremyR says, what looks like can't possibly work with cotton will work perfectly with Rayon.

Next rewick on one of the Plus' I'm going to do a 75% thin and see what happens.

I rewicked the Titan last night after putting 240ml's of juice through it. Coils were a little charred but the Rayon could have been washed and reused. I have a pair of 4mm ID framed staples in it that take a full strand of Sally's quite nicely, the juice well is huge so one has to be careful with the thinning. I like coils that I can pull a full strand through and just trim, I'm getting lazy in my old age.

So funny. Never owned a Goblin or Theorem, but I'll match your Nano and raise with the Serpent SMM. Never got along with those 2.

Edit: And I went 18 days and 120ml's through each of 2 Ammit 25's without a hint of leaking/condensation. All I did was swap the Rayon for Cotton, and my usual Cotton wicking.

I loooooove !

OBS Nano, Biggest POS I ever tried & tried & tried LOL

Single coil Ti 3mm diameter around .3 ohms Many wraps (long Coil) Up off the deck!
Morten Owen Says if you can get the Air flow to hit the bottom of the coil, deflect off it's self from both sides under the coil, roll back & go up thru the chamber it will produce a Great Flavour Basically the theory Here

Meh, I had 2 V1&2 Sold both of them!

The SMM is Good! I really like mine But the Kylin Mini is Better

Didn't Billy (Heathen) design his Dead Rabbit BF RDA in part on the Pulse 22?

Evolv will definately RMA the board

Got a Pulse 22 and the top cap was so tight it took pliers to get it off...bypassed the "unused drawer" for the trash can

I'll give that a try for S&G, I take it that's 24ga.

You run Ti on a mech? OMG you are going to die from the TiO2 production...

Only one Mec there, the Squeezer, it has a SS Clapton in it
