I think I had my tank cleaned and set up with Sofia inside and a pic on the forum within 20 minutes of the DHL truck getting here lol.

But how many people in the house have been vaping on your device? :) I swipe from her, she swipes from me, back in forth it goes as we take turns taking pulls.

On top of that, we are working on which flavors for 4 SnP tanks will work best, especially on the X. :D

I'm not even going to try to elaborate on the experience. Jojo got that covered. I am so completely impressed. Threads are like BUTTA. Quality is bar none.

I'm so thrilled right now. WOW!

Sorry
I am not paying attention but what do you need for NR wires? The spheroid?
I appreciate Kat messing around with them as he often gets bored :laugh:. I have known him to weave his own ekowool, grow his own cotton and hemp....at least he said it was strictly for wicks, sure!
Anyway, there is no need at all. Unless I am missing some huge benefactor, although doubt it. We shouldn't take extra steps to cause failure or headaches. I join wires for GG and divers, no more. I have little choice with those.
i may have missed an entire conversation and am sorry if so. I will read back when there is time.

Yeah, I was just messing around, I have since recoiled with just 28g Kanthal microcoil.

In fact, if you want to be able to replace the cotton and dry burn the coil, do not use NR on a Spheroid, it will come apart or come off, and then be impossible to reattach. The 28g and 30g wire should be thick enough to take the tugging of replacing the cotton without coming apart.

Ok fine then :p

I had the house to myself all day and already had my Sofia coiled up and had the juice bottle waiting.

Question:

How many wraps w/ 30g if I want to end up somewhere in the 1.4-1.6 range? I'm going to make up some NR micro coils.

Also, is it R-NR-R or NR-R-NR?

Hmm, just bringing it back again...

QUESTION: What drill-bit size should I use to make my coils? How many wraps should I do?

ANSWER: It's not 'how many wraps' you do, or 'on what you do'... the important thing is the 'length' of your wire - this is what determines your end resistance - the Ωs you are targeting. Use any Resistance Wire Calculator to find that out, something like >this< and then wrap that length of wire on any suitable* drill-bit, needle, toothpick, metal nail, whatever:



*By 'suitable' I mean a size which could comfortably 'sit' on the deck of the Atty.

What's a decent charger? Cheaper than a Pila? I have a Pila currently, but will need another soon for a trip. Really don't wanna drop $50, but don't wanna sacrifice reliability either.

Gimmie the scoop! Hit me with some feedback!

I have been really happy with the Xtars. Most of them have a 1A setting so getting a full charge is super quick. I bought this one and this one.

ID, I've led you astray my friend. I posted my questions here, because this is my fam and your knowledge is trusted. The setup is for my Diver v1&v2.

:facepalm: I is slowwwwww today. sorry.

WOW WOW WOW...I am probably late to the party and everyone already knows this and Perseas, George, and Miro are really tired of hearing this ( ;) ) but I think I will say it anyway...WOW...this machining and quality is 2nd to NONE! Seriously - NONE!!
I expected quality...I expected good machining....but WOW...I REALLY AM SHOCKED! Everything is heavy...butter smooth...silk.
I am truly in a a state of amazement!
This X is crazy GORGEOUS and the button??? OMG!! and I am not thrilled with bottom buttons...but wow!...the SnP's are beyond precise. Sophia byLeo in the SnP = FANTASTIC! INCREDIBLE! The pressure is a bit different and has a bit of a learning curve for me and definitely replace the two brown top cap orings for just one orange oring and make sure you "lube" the oring after so you can turn the Sophia. Did I mention WOW? WOOOOWWWW!

So JoQueen, did you get it? :)

Congrats girl! and Yankeestud. Enjoy :)

I have been through a few and have no favs. As of now I have a couple love the Pila myself but use a cheaper Ultra Fire wf-188 for trips or an older Trustfire.

Welcome to the GP Experience Jojo and Yankee!! =)

^This. And, I think they get it!

Wow...you lay down for a nap, and all hell breaks loose on this forum...

@Yankee & Jojo: Welcome to the GP Family! Enjoying my Spheroid & PAPS SS as I type...
But how many people in the house have been vaping on your device? I swipe from her, she swipes from me, back in forth it goes as we take turns taking pulls.

You know, my dogs do the same thing with their toys...:laugh:

@Q: glad you posted that Pbusardo link, I've always found it useful, too.

@Digi: I've just recently upgraded to a Nitecore Intellicharger i4, it was under $20 at Amazon...I like it, and it's faster than my old one.

I successfully use the following:
1. Soshine SC-S2 18650 Fast Charger (my review >here<)
2. TrustFire TR-001 Multi-Purpose Charger (over 6-yrs old, flashlight days, and still going strong)

But heard this is top notch: Nitecore I4 v2 Smart Charger
