I made a coil from 26 gauge Unkamen's NotNiFe48 and mounted in a TGT3. I always wished that Unkamen carried 26 gauge SS430, maybe he did and no one realized it.
Till now that is, I'm not sure if it is 430 but would say it's probably 4xxx something. EScribe is making it look like SS430. works great using 430 profile.

Microsoft finally managed to find a way to sneak a Windows Update on one of my machines. I believe they did it through the DTUNotificationUX service. I couldn't find anything about this service online. I think it has something to do with Office365 which came on the machine, but I don't use. Although the other day I clicked on a RTF file and that launched Office365 for the first time. I killed it within seconds, so it never finished loading. But apparently did something to get around the update block. It will take me all day to undo all of the harm Microsoft did to it. They should be sued for all of the wasted time they cause.

UPDATE: Computer rebooted and now it says "Undoing changes made to your computer..." What the hell Microsoft! That is usually like an 8 hour process.

After going back and forth on buying an Abyss I decided to grab a Dovpo College DNA 60 SbS and to skip the Abyss altogether.

I don't believe you could get an Abyss anyway even if you wanted one. You had to be at the right place at the right time and they sold out in minutes. I luckily grabbed two making two separate orders minutes apart using priority mail and one showed up and the other one left California over two weeks ago. I still haven't seen it. The second batch is due out at the same time the vape mail ban starts. :(

I am really happy with the College. My second one is supposed to be arriving this week from Element in Cali. The first one I rec'd in 3 days. I was very impressed with the shipping speed. Reminded me of the not so old days when all Priority Mail was 3 day delivery. ;) Our new(er) and improved mail service seems to be whenever, maybe, someday.

I wish they would have included the SbS parts with the Abyss. But I do understand they're marketing it as an AIO first and foremost.

The 510 on my Paramour SbS was loose this morning. It was an easy enough fix to tighten the nut on the 510 assy. I've since learned that this is a known problem with the Paramour's. A guy on YT had the same problem. They shipped him a new one. The 510 on that had the same problem.

If that happens to mine again I will consider installing a lock washer. None is currently installed. I figure that's why they are loosening over time.

Someone in the Picture thread had a problem with the battery tube coming apart on their Paramour. Turns out those are glued into place. o_O W-T-Ferk? Not how I, you or anyone else here would have designed that.

It's a huge difference compared to how the Aspire Mixx battery tube screws into the body. The Mixx is high quality all around while the Paramour now seems like a fast money grab to me.

ETA: Especially like the College having a DNA 60.
