Not the prettiest build I'v ever done :(
Spaced Ti wrapped around a 3mm screw :)
Basically the same dual build I'v been doing since the beginning of the mizers
You can see the deck is smaller than a 25mm Supreme but still fits 3mm coils :)




Steamer, What size wire is that (24?) and are you using cotton or rayon with those big coils? I tried 3mm coils with 26 nickle and stainless using rayon and I couldn't get good flavor, lots of vapor but the flavor was muted. I went back to smaller coils (little less then 2mm) to get the flavor back. Maybe I was doing something wrong, I still consider myself green when it comes to building coils, I'm still learning. Thanks buddy! :)

There is beauty everywhere. Sometimes it takes some effort to find, though, and I'm lazy!

LoL, I like that. :laugh: May have to steal is someday. ;)

Many many years ago I was at a party when this knock down gorgeous girl came over and struck up a chat with me like she knew me all my life. I was quite surprised a gal that pretty "might" (in my dirty mind) be hitting on me, after a few minuets she said "you don't know who I am do you?". I sheepishly had to confess I didn't while hoping I wasn't blowing my chances, she was a gal I went to school with. Back then she was quite heavy, not very attractive and someone I didn't pay attention too, who knew such a pretty gal was hiding in there. Then it dawned on me, she wasn't hitting on me at all, in fact I didn't stand a chance, she was enjoying this moment, shoving the past in my face. Boy did I feel embarrassed and little. :oops:

Someone else may find this handy. I copied the bmp of the board dimensions from the 75 specsheet, printed, measured and worked out I needed to print it at 54.06%, but MsPaint only takes whole numbers. What worked was resizing 493%, then resizing to 2656px by 1968px (54.09%), then resizing to 40% gives a good result printing at 50%, I tried actual size and it printed 1.5% too small. The percentages resizes are not always exactly what you expect.

So here is a png that prints actual size (on my laser printer) for marking out drill holes etc if you print it at 50%.

We are all still learning :) Yes 24 gauge, Ti, Chinese cotton sheets.
I get good flavour with the 3mm coils :) I find that the bigger coils with more cotton wick last longer between rewicking. A 2mm coil is fine to, maybe it's just me but I find they get gunked up faster.
I usually like to do a nicer job than the pics I posted but these long days have me rushing every thing this time of year.
