Looks good Burnie :)

How does it vape?

Lot harder hit than I am used to, but sometimes I need that. :D
The 24mg is giving me a little buzz, guess I need to lower it :facepalm:
I like a tighter draw so I have the 4 smallest plugs in, but it is fine for me.
The plugs I'm using fit snug. Only thing was the solid ones would not go all the way in the holes.
So far no leaks like I was reading in some of the reviews.

i got the koh gen do from a japanese ebay shop. expensive, but it was delivered fast.
also got a cheaper one, ... organic cotton too, beige with seeds and so, in another ... ebay shop. it says "puff" on the bag.
got some rayon as well. muji and shiseido are not so organic. and i guess that rayon neither is.
tried the kgd ..and haven't tried the rest :blush: it's incredible how it wicks. no strange taste. i use it in every atty now. it's a must for the squapes, imo.
will try the cheaper one and rayon one of these days, to see if i can find any difference between the ... cotton brands.

edit: i think the kgd was available in their us shop. limited amount, cheaper than in ebay, but they didn't deliver to spain

    That is the stuff I got, except I got it off amazon, not tried it yet, but doubt there is a lot of difference when it comes to japanese cotton.

    If you like it, you can order some from here:

    Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads at DermStore

    It doesn't usually stick around for long though.

    The picture below is from a review one of the customers posted from your link above, is each pad really that thick or is that a picture of a bunch of them?

    Almost everyone who uses KGD splits the pad in half, very easy to do. So one pad is really two pads. Then you just cut a strip about the same size as the ID of your coil, or a little less since cotton expands, and you are good to go.

    I haven't even put a battery in it :p I only checked that all the tubes and top caps screw on and off properly .. I need to read the PDF manual carefully because I don't want to cause a ton of Error messages which I heard you will get if you don't navigate the menu correctly. Its definitely a solid feeling device and they at least knocked the 1:1 body construction out of the park :) .. now for the chip, we'll see.
    i think a first check to see if it's delivering a dc or a pwm signal could be: connect your tobeco volt meter and an atty, and click. it will blink quickly if it's a pwm signal. it will show a static reading without blinking, if it's dc. but maybe i'm wrong..

    I just unrolled my last cotton ball one bag has lasted me almost 1 year and I gave alot away, it was a well spent 2.50. I may look for a box of these, so you say you can peel it two then cut strips for wicks. About how many 2mm diameter wicks do you get from one pad?

    I can't even guess a number but probably 6-10 strips for each half a pad cut the long way and 1 strip does 2 wicks so for a dual coil set up 1 strip.

    1 pad = 60 x 80 x ~6 mm.
    split in half into 2 pads: 2 pads of 60 x 80 x ~3mm (i do not split it when using macrocoils)
    split them in half (maximum length): 4 pads of 60 x 40 x 3mm
    cut strips of 2mm: 4 pads x 30 strips of 2 x 40 x 3mm
    total:
    120 2mm-strips/pad or
    100 2.5mm-strips/pad or
    80 3mm-strips/pad

    So how are the people who got the Lancia liking it so far?

    Also anyone can compare it to the magma?

    Really considering getting one, liking it being a glass section, so less likely to drip to much, and then maybe won't need to sit with a piece of paper towel next to me all the time.

    The only thing that bothers me, is them air flow grommets, looks like you can only change them when got no coil on, so if coil it and then don't like the air flow, then have to take your coil to try a different air flow setup.
