You don't have to remove the top section the videos I mentioned have you inserting the coil through the bottom as there is enough room, unlike an old kanger head style rebuild.

Cheers mate, I'll check them out then. Just hope I don't get hypnotised again by Rip's beard :laugh: I know there's a few different revisions of the OCC coils, I'll see which one turns up and take it from there.

Not a problem mate, that was as much as I could fit in the envelope :laugh:

The Nichrome arrived too cheers for that, love the home made spool :laugh:

:rules: Sorry I wasn't quick enough with the 1 hour rule :laugh:

I had nothing at all to wrap the nickle around mate, so went in the blue bin with some scissors :laugh: The beauty of that wire though, is how soft it is, and there is no spring to it. So any slight kink can easily be straightened out. :)

I think all the different versions were just pre release beta types and that all the retail subtanks have the same occ coils. They're really impressive, I watched all the reviews saying how good they were and was still surprised at how good they are.

Come on George, let us in on your secret. Where do you find out about these mega sales :laugh:

I was too late on the Aerovape one :(


I just scan the vendors forums and check out the "bargain basement" sections around the forums.
Bit of fun and sometimes pays off.

Know what you mean, he was a really nice chap as well, I went to 2 last year and they were both younger than me as well.

Well they do say, the longer you live, the more funerals you'll attend. Not good though when someone you got on well with passes away :(

Yep it is really soft, I was expecting it to boing off the cardboard when I took it out of the envelope :laugh:

Wheres it at Ian ( Tracking ) It`s 29 Awg :toast:

It's been accepted by the carrier, but that's about it so far. Might have a spurt of movement in the next few days :)

I got that impression from Phil's video too. He did a bit of a comparison of the OCC heads he had. I watched about 4 different reviews and they all raved about them. I was going to go for the 22mm version, but decided on the 25mm instead to go on a box mod or two. All the reviewers seemed to prefer it over the Atlantis too.

Hopefully, I won't be late to the party next time :laugh:

When I did get there, Terry had bagged all the V4's and all the 18mg juice had gone too. Don't really need anything new, but I can't resist a bargain :D

Yes, as soon as it starts spurting mate, you will get it pretty damn quick. :laugh:

To be honest. I won't get much time to play with new toys now for a while. But all spurts are still good, helps build the excitement :laugh:

You mean terry,george, and bob don`t you mate :laugh:

Sorry mate, wasn't picking on you honest :oops:

Aerovape put a post up today,they sold everything.Right down to the last drop of juice.
They are rebranding,so i don't know what they'll come back as.

Wonder if they'll have a re-opening sale too :laugh:

Yes, it`s the orchid V4 from FT mate :) I think you may be running that too high for that particular liquid dave, it`s only 12 mg, and i never found it harsh. I normally vape that one @ or around 17 watts !

Trying it at 17w now and it's a bit cool for me, prefer I little warmer vape. Taste is reduced as well but still a bit sharp on the throat. Don't think I'll be hunting this one down but thanks for the sample.

Ian i know you asked me to say how long this NI build would last. Well the answer is 1 week exactly. Only because i knackered it up by pulling the wick though :laugh: I was treating it just like kanthal, pulled the wick, and that coil was totally screwed !

So will have to start again from 15th, when it happened !

If it's one week of heavy usage then it's not bad still. I'll remember to treat it with kid gloves though when I use it. So that's one good thing to come out of this, I can learn by your mistake :evil::laugh:

Did the coil look gunked up much though before you pulled the wick ??
