I could make one of those SS rings for $1.50 (material and labor). Someone is boofin' someone.

Sign me up as a beta tester, but if you start selling them, I'm gonna have to slap you with the Supplier clause! :p

Oh Bronze, I didn't close off on the Vivi Nova rebuild with you. I used it all last week, and just put a new coil/wick combo on it today. It's been used every day to work, at work and back home.. about 20 ml of Heavenly Army through it. I'm still not convinced that I'm not losing flavour, but what I'm getting out of it, is enough to keep me satisfied.

Thanks for making me give it one more shot!

Well, you might tweak it a little more and get more out of it. I like area on a coil (I make 8 - 10 wraps on two strands and it spans the width of the cavity it sits in). I also like to cover as much as the "area" as possible...making sure none of the wicks are pinched. That's why the loose wick on top so the coil is bathed in juice. If nothing else, maybe it's good enough for those times when you want to fill a big clearo and fuhgetabotit!

Meanwhile, I've been using this RBA more. But I don't like the constant refilling. I need to get me a tank w/SS mesh. :D

I finally have the vmod figured out, now it's sitting in the garage after its first round of glittering/bedazzling. I will make that dorky thing look pretty!

Congratulations Ms April. I knew you would. Perhaps you're ready to graduate to a better atty to put on top of that thing. I'll be in touch.

What ohms do you get with 8 - 10 wraps, Bronze? Do the coils actually touch each other?

I'm getting between 2.0 - 2.6 by wrapping 8 - 10 times around two strands of 1.0 silica wick. I also use a pin while I wrap. I don't necessarily concern myself with how pretty I wrap it (though it looks pretty good) as I scrunch them all together like a slinky after I wrap it. There's enough spring in the wire that it loosens up slightly. They never touch/short.

Ok, because a 5/6 wrap gave me 2.6 with a 3mm + fine paperclip. Running at 4.6 on the Pvari.
