I just ordered TEMco 26 & 28 gauge Kanthal A1 wire 25' each and I'll get the cotton balls my next grocery store trip... Do I need to boil the cotton or anything before use? And if RV would just restock that Hybrid Adaptor I'd be set :)
Any here with a Rampage Vapor 510 Hybrid Adapter or know anyone that may have one I'll buy it at double the normal cost :) PM me please

    Make sure you get the organic cotton, seems to be much cleaner and better overall.

    And its suggested to boil it and rinse it. I dont have much experience with cotton myself, but Ive been reading up on it a lot lately, thinking of trying it on some microcoils. Gotta admit though, Im certainly not unhappy with my silica. In fact I really like silica. Always have, but when I started using 3mm instead of 2mm, I really fell in love with it.

    You know we have a thread on the Kayfun Lite, right?

    Please show 'n tell when in hand. Okay, after you play with it a bit :)

    most definitely. i plan on running the matching SnP 23mm and my ghetto terminator/oddy clone until i can source some others. plenty of pics with 22mm atty's and i'm not liking the non-flush fits.

    I will be running mine w/ 23mmSnP/Killer until I grab a Taifun GT, which is also 23mm.

    My first thoughts:
    Very nice. It's a sexy little beasty. It's got a very clean look to it. I really appreciate the clean look of GP's mods. Fit and finish are the best I've experienced yet. All of the threads (including the one at the 510 connection) are incredibly smooth and the joints between the extension rings, although not visually seamless, can't be felt. To be fair, I have chef hands from handling hot plates and making capps and lattes every day at work, so the sense of touch at my fingertips is a little dull ;). But still, impressive.

    The switch design is genius. There's no external locking ring--it locks by rotating the button about 3/4 of a turn. There's no visual change in the switch assembly. Very slick. The switch is, of course, super smooth with a throw of about 1mm. The action is a little firmer than the the switch on the Paps, but it still feels very very nice.

    I don't use any atties that make use of the AFC ring, so I can't really comment on it, other than to say that the threading is nice :)

    I tested the voltage drop: 0.2V under load with a 1.4ohm atty, on a freshly charged AW IMR 18350. It almost hits as hard as my Atomo, which is the only other mod I have that shows a similarly low voltage drop (also showed 0.2V on a freshly chared battery, but with a 1 ohm atty). With voltage drop numbers being what they are, that it as you will.

    My only gripe is that the battery contact in the two-way center post sticks a bit--to the point where in order to adjust it downwards for a KFL, I have to remove the entire center post from the top cap. Not a big deal, since the Squape's home will be on the X, but it's still a little disappointing.

    I've been waiting for the X to be released for what seems like forever (even though I've only been vaping for about 4 1/2 months :p), and I was super excited to be able to get an order in. All in all, I'm very impressed. With an ELA on preorder, and now an X in hand, the only thing left is a Lux, and my search for mods will be at its end. :2c:
