Hello, new here trying to get active.

[jamesduncan]

I'm into coil building



And DIY. This is what I came here for and am trying to get past the spam filters, but will be glad to answer any questions or whatever.

Ditto, more into the dna 40's and building coils. Feel like I'm in a AA meeting introducing myself....lol

Guess I could have asked what your experiences are like thus far with temperature control. I love the idea, but I've been vaping coils a lot like the one above and they really produce the kind of vapor I prefer. I just can't go back to regular microcoils, no matter the gauge. I feel like temperature control will be great in a year or two, but for now it's not going to be to my liking.

Relax guys - it's only a five post restriction. Part of what people like about this site is the lack of SPAM/junk/trolls and that brief restriction to the New Members forum is part of what keeps it that way. Don't take it personally. For anyone who wants to know. ~> http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/site-feedback-help/78263-new-members-how-many-posts-do-i-need-titles.html

You can start any topics you want in New Members - it's not a restriction to "New Vapers" topics either.

Welcome to ECF James, make yourself right at home

 

[DaBucs]

Weclome to ECF!!!

Welcome, and liking your coil fascination/creation. There are some terrific threads on here once you get past your 5 post count with fellow coil building enthusiasts.

How do you like to wick that fancy stove top? pics?

 

[houstenswag]

Welcome!!

 

[jamesduncan]

Relax guys

Umm, I was relaxed. We were simply chatting about how we got here and what we look forward to posting more about. I made a simple tongue in cheek comment, and not only did you remove/censor it but I got an infraction. I realize I'm a guest here, and you probably don't care about anything some six poster has to say, but you guys totally overreacted. Perhaps need to take your own advice and relax.

Or you know, give me another infraction/ban me for being critical. LOL

I realize that. But in terms of having a conversation, it's like being in a room of new people and there being some arbitrary rule that you have to talk to five unrelated people before you can respond to the thing you originally wanted to respond to. I'm sure this keeps a lot of spammers out comparatively, but at the same time probably keeping legitimate posters away too.

In regards to wicking it is pretty simple. You want to make a round log of wicking material, just like you would for any standard coil, just a bit thicker than the radius of the coil. Take one end down through the leads, and pull it out and to the side. Wrap the remaining bit of wick around the remainder of the coil, until the two ends meet. Then trim both so they just touch the deck. Use a small tool to adjust and ensure evenness. Not my photo, but I don't have a good example at the moment of my own. It should be like this, perhaps 10% less cotton IMO, http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/19/9b427e6e9657a564ebff87d94571661c.jpg

We have very good reasons for limiting new registrants to the New Member forum. ECF is hit constantly by hundreds of spammers and hundreds of spambots each day. While our anti-spam measure prevent registration for the majority, some do slip through and restricting them to just one forum makes the clean up in Aisle 3 much easier. If there were no restrictions, ECF would become a spammers paradise as we have hundreds of forums that can be posted in.

I get it, I really do. But at the same time I can be on reddit, youtube or any number of other thriving communities in seconds. I'm not saying they are perfect, but to be able to actually communicate at the speed of the internet, on the internet is nice. It's really frustrating, and it feels like you are forcing us to make conversation and then scolding newbs because you don't like the tone.

Obviously you've been around a while, nearly 26k posts, impressive. So you've probably seen this same tired argument time and time again. But I'll tell you in my life experience, any time I encounter the same complaint over and over, there is a problem. No matter where you place the blame.

Jeeez ...... How hard is it to welcome 4 new members and wait until the servers update? Or how hard is it to find a few threads in this section that a one sentence answer would do?

The problem we generally see are those that have no patience and want everything, and they want it right now.

If people want their own personal forum, run exactly the way they want it - the solution is to go create that one rather than complain abut how the one they just joined is run. ECF didn't get to be this large because of "problems" with the way things work here.
