My first bottle of GVC has been stuck in customs since January 9th. Release it, you jerks!
...have delivered to office...into briefcase...in my hand...
"When'd you get that? I don't remember seeing that one?"
"This? I've had this a long time. Just decided to bring it home from work".
Where is your coil positioned? mine is between the posts about 1mm above the center hole with wicks perpendicular to the line of the posts ...
One problem? I don't work any more? Now what???
My first GVC![]()
Just b'coz you guys keep yapping about it all the time here![]()
Had to check what the gossip was all about![]()
You've never tried it? I'm actually surprised.
Q, if by some craaaazy chance it's not your not thing there's a fellow Canuck here that'll buy it off you in a heartbeat.
Tried ~ Yes. From rumthin, once during one of his visits.
But didn't find anything to rave about. It wasn't as popular in this thread, or any other that I visit, until you fine folks came along and made a hullabaloo over it![]()
Send it to a neighbor that you get along with or a friends houseOne problem? I don't work any more? Now what???
Greetings!
Grabbed a spheroid v3 kit and a polished x ring and some vase drip tips from domo and couldn't be happier with the paps X.
The spheroid is proving to be a bit of a bugger for me though. Mainly the wick. I'm running a 1.6mm 28ga 0.9-1.0 ohm micro coil with SnC wick, the same coils as my kayfuns.
The difference is I'm pulling a two stand loop of SnC through the coil a hair past the deck edge and trimming the loose end a smidge longer than the deck, roughly 1cm on both sides of the coil. When screwing the tank on I try to keep the wicks straight and "climbing the wall" up to my filler. It works great for a while then droops down.
I'm thinking I need a bigger coil and more yarn to strengthen it up a bit. Going to try a 2mm micro and 3 stands of SnC. While it is working its a beast on the X!
Are you boiling, then drying your yarn before you use it as wick? That makes it much easier to get the sugar n cream to stay upon the fluff and not droop back down.
I also run a wide enough micro to double my snc through with one strand removed.
Have you tried to cut the SnC on an angle, then twisting it wet and threading the whole thing through? That's how I work it. All 4 through in one shot. It does take a few tries sometimes along with some re-twists. It seems the whole lot of 4 through at one shot stays upright better. Granted when you pull it apart to refill, they may appear slightly twisted because the fluff and SnC turn on each other.
Haven't tried that yet, I could probably work that without a recoil. No loop on one side I presume? How long are your tails?
I feel like such a newbie again!![]()
Sorry if you said this already.
If is your coil parallel or perpendicular to the posts, and are you using the V2 kit with the thumb screws or the V3 kit with the Phillips screws.
You're generally shooting for about 1mm past the edge of the base but that can change a bit with coil height and position.
