Mine are so tight in the coil that if much tighter it would mess up the coil. It sort of "chatters" (squeaks) when pulled through. If I don't get it that tight I can't get my expected wattage as it hits my temp setting too quick.

Never mind, I see, well it would depend on just how tight that you rolled it. For a 3 mm ID I use a full piece also but I roll it tight and it lengthens it till it fits.
I roll it, probably looser than you. Then I pull it threw until it won't go anymore and pull both ends tight so it stretches and slide right and left until it starts pulling threw again. This seems to work well for me. I just have been going thinner and thinner with each wicking and I went too thin last time. Heck when I pulled out the leaking wicking, it slid out of there like a wet noodle. :lol:

Flavor and vapor is the same as before. I still like the flavor better from the FreeMax (although this is the best vape I got from the Plus yet). And the FreeMax just set at 60 watts and no preheat or anything. This alien coil hasn't worked well on a dna for me. Even at full boost and it still takes too long to warm up. So I have it on an Aegis Legend using VPC 75, 50, 40, 30, and 30 watts stepping through every 0.5 sec. And the temperature is very even throughout the vape from start to finish.

Could try heating the metal, might expand just enough to ease it's grip on the glass. A drop of some kind of lube above the threads and let it wick it might help too.

Threaded Glass, bottom air flow, 2 big reasons I passed on it :(
IDK about the heat! I would lube the heck out of the threads, before trying to take it apart!
Try injecting some VG into the threads with a syringe?
Who knows maybe you'l get lucky & the glass won't break?
It was actually much easier to fix than I thought it was going to be. I vaped it dry, removed the top section of the tank and coil base. This allowed me to slide the glass chimney out from the top leaving just the tank and bottom section.

Placing the end of the glass down on the workbench, I applied a light downward pressure on the lower tank section and the glass popped back into place. Gave it all a good wash under hot water, then examined it all for cracks or chips while I dried it, none to be found. :thumbs:

Rewicked it with dm balls, filled and everything is back to normal. I got lucky, but will still keep the spare chimneys coming in from FT. Steam Crave does recommend you lubricate the threads with a little VG when assembling the glass and metal sections.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Where'd you get your Ti wire from, Bill? The stuff from Temco is very easy to work with and the stock TCR curves in a DNA seem to work really well with it. I've give myself more than one "blood sample poke" in the finger tips, but that's true of any wire.

Lightning Vapes. They had the Alien coils too. The pricing on T1 26g was odd too. $1.75 for 25 feet or $7.94 for 50 feet??? Two 25 foot rolls is half of the price of one 50 foot roll. o_O

Oh no problems with TFR/TCR. Although I just didn't notice anything special with it while vaping.

Oh you try to stab yourself with nickel wire, but nothing is going to happen. ;)

I received an email from Vapetime UK, here is just one sentence from it that caught my eye.
"We have been advised that the slight hold-up has been due to acquiring the latest batch of DNA250 chips from Evolv"
Hope they mean "250C chips"
I just went over yonder and put a thousand of 'em in my cart, looked like a go.

BT acquires BV, it was inevitable.
Same old story, new technology.
They will line their pockets well.
It should be safer for us, as long as they dont play chemistry with the juice.

IMO BT see's the writing on the Wall! Market share is shrinking! They have to stay a head of the curve! So like any other Big Business they're getting on the new wave, harm reduction!
They have interestes in Tobacco So why not try to market a safer Tobacco product along with vaping?

I suspected some thing like this would happen all along, BT has Deep pockets!
If you can beat them, Buy Them! We were their customers! They just wont let that go!

Makes me laugh, BT pads gov officals plams to get the FDA to suppress vaping along with anti-aping campaigns like this BS "thetruth" org that runs TV ads with twisted "facts" 24/7. All to kill as much vaping competition as possible so BT can rake in as much of the market as they can short of sticking you up at gun point outside your local vape shop.

These truth jack wagon's are either stupid or they know they full well the "truth" yet they take the coin to line their pockets, paid shills twisting the facts which could deter a smoker from trying to quit by vaping, and if that's the case they are freaking evil, have no soul and I hope they burn in hell for an eternity.

Couldn't Agree More Mike! For guys like Us, We all ready stocked up on gear, were all rite :)
As smoking alternatives completely decimate the tobacco industry, as it will! They (BT) have to be there to pick up the pieces! And they will be! I predict with in 5 years, All smoking alternatives & BT will be one giant entity :(

Personally I could vape the rest of my days with just PG,VG, batteries & some nic juice!
Were just the tip of the ice berg! Millions more will get off the Cigarettes, only to find BT there ready & waiting :(

I don't wish to admit just how many times I looked at this page before "getting it" only this morning.
That reminds me of:

Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.​

Interesting enough Cambridge University claimed there was no such study.

I am just speculating here. But I would guess Lost Vape was getting exclusive pricing on Evolv boards, since Lost Vape had used their boards mostly exclusively. But once Lost Vape came out with the Orion Q without a DNA board, they lost their exclusive pricing with Evolv. So maybe closer to the truth is Lost Vape is having a difficult time with getting exclusive pricing from Evolv. :unsure:
