Actually that is a very fitting transalatory description. You yourself wind the coil, and if you do it right, it will evaporate the bejesus outta your juice.

Just for the record, I didnt mean to say the Lemo is bad. I own two of them and yeah they work just fine.
However, the FeV gives me a better vape with alot less hassle.
The only thing the Lemo does "better" is that it's more open draw.
I plan to drill a 2nd airhole in a FeV clone to make an open draw, dual coil flashy. I bet it will outperform the Lemo by far, hell, it tops it already even with single coil and tighter draw.
What kinda builds do you guys use on your flashies?
I'm currently running a parallel V2A steel wire 0,3mm, 2,5mm diameter coil, 9 wraps (yeah, it's big), 0,5 Ohm, at 20-30W.

I only build with nickel anymore. Here's my current build. Dual strand twisted 30g, 9 wraps, 3mm ID.
Hey guys been kinda slow here, so I thought I should bring some of these posts over from the rayon thread..
cobalt,
That pin is the way the originals are made. Under the "Discussions" tab on your first link someone posted that one is not a hotcig clone but anyone can post anything there. I'd email them and ask first.
I bought my V3 hotcig from focal --> Flash e-Vapor V3 Styled Rebuildable Atomizer by Hotcig It's the 22.9mm size and very well made, there is a review of this one on youtube where the fellow say's it's the best clone and he swaps parts from the clone to the original to show how they are identical.
Focal also has the VS 17mm hotcig clone on sale for $15.80 right now here --> Flash e Vapor VS Style Rebuildable Atomizer by Hotcig I've got to get my order in before they are gone!
If focal has stuff made by hotcig they state it in the listings.

The vs arrived today!!! Looking forward top getting home tonight and setting that puppy up!!!
No but thinks for bringing it up, when you said that in the rayon thread, I immediately thought of ..
It should work just the same, as long as it will hold its shape with enough spring.. Or not you can compensate probably, should be good.
I took this video of rolling the straws one day.. I'll post it for the heck of it..
Rolled in 30sec. Went a little off using one hand to hold phone and record. After that you just adjust the tightness in the holes by rolling a little tighter or rolling the opposite way to loosen. Pressure is only applied in the direction you want it to roll tighter or looser.
350 ss mesh used

Oh noooo...
Do I have to use mesh for the feeders or can I use Rayon?
I don't have any mesh and if I do need it, what type should I attempt to locate here in Canada for the VS?

Well, I think I had an issue last week when I made that video.. I had a bad taste from that mesh and ended up having to clean it.
I think either there was some manufacturing residue or something from my hands... I ended up burning it off and rinsing in water. Alcohol and rinsing would possibly do the same..
I'm not 100% sure what the problem was but it was good after I cleaned the mesh.
Also one thing to look out for when they are new is a piece if the wire coming loose and touching the coil. This is rare but can happen but will only happen once. Depends on how you cut it I guess.

I tried and tried, it can be ok, but mesh is best... I'm using 350 ss but opinions vary.
You need enough gap for the air to get back into the tank. I did get a small piece of rayon to work somewhat, depending on your power level, but not as good as mesh. 15w you can probably use fiber but 15+ you really need mesh for reliable performance IMO.
Jax had good results with the ortman fiber I think because its braided it hold its shape to keep a small gap.
Based on that I have an idea for fiber, if you wrap kanthal around it, well spaced out, to keep it from expanding, at a size that is decently smaller than the holes. Just around the part that will be in the ports, then leave the ends loose They will expand and keep it from falling out.
Basically it will look like you just wicked a spaced coil. Make the length the same as the juice holes depth.
A piece of silica may work, you just have to have a good gap so air can get back up to the tank. Then they fall out. You could try to fray the inside end to keep it from falling or do a kanthal wrap.
But mesh is so much better, for me but the wrap idea may work great. Ymmv

If you want to give nickel a try, gearbest has it. They ship worldwide but I'd read up on the details.
What length did you measure out before rolling? Can't remember if you mentioned. I'm cataloguing everyone's preferences, lol
Thanks!
I have ordered from Gearbest before, is Nickel just as good as SS? I am only going to use it for the filler wicks and not the coil wick.
I don't know, I don't use mesh on any of my attys, although I was thinking of using it on a Kraken genesis type atty to see what the results would be. Nickel will be a lot more 'pliable' than stainless but whether that will be a plus or minus is the question. Maybe Jeremy can comment...
