How do I post in other forums?

[garpt01]

Hi,
Is there a minimum # of posts in a forum like this one before I can get my techni9cal questions answered?
I got into rba's and some serious mods rather quickly (within a month) and I have some technical questions but can't seem to have the ability to post into the more "expert" type forums here.

Thanks.
Gary

Individually thank each of the first four responders to your first post in this thread (so you have a total of five posts), then wait until something like 20-25 minutes after the hour for the server to update, and you have access. This technique keeps all the hit and run one-post spammers in one area where they're easier to manage (read delete).

Yeah this should be my fifth post, so yay.

Or just post the questions here, a lot of vets hang out in the new members section and will be willing and able to answer pretty much anything you can ask. If the Mods think it's in the wrong place, they'll move it as necessary.

Welcome Schmeggy929 anyway...

Stopped smoking Dec. 19th (+/- 2 packs/ day.) Anyway, I jumped right in to Vaping both feet first. Have had half a pack of analogs since, none this week! After an eGo Twist that I used for a week or so, went to to the eVic and Nemisis (HCigar). Then, with my decent knowledge of electronics (I've built audio preamps, speaker crossovers, etc.) decided mods and RBA's would be a way to utilize my hobby with the pleasures of vaping. Purchased a TaiFun clone and a Genesis style atty. All the building stuff.
Last night I attempted to build the coil for the Taifun. #400 wire mesh, torched gfor about 10 minutes. #32 Kanthal. Silica wick. I tried about 15 different builds before giving up for the night.
Impedence is good (1.3-1.8 ohms on various tries.)
No shorts.
4-6 winds around the oxidized mesh.
The problem is I can only get one "leg" to glow. Just like the first 1/4". The middle coils do not glow. I've tried spacing the windings. A couple were (near) picture perfect windings. On one of the tries, actually BOTH sides- right by the screw connections- lit brightly. But none of the middle windings. Obviously, when this happens, the kanthal burns up and I lose the connection.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I watched many videos, it doesn't appear to be "rocket science", especially with my background.

Thanks All.
Gary
