I need that. I also need the correct device, vaportekusa still hasnt sent me a return label for the device they sent me. =\

Spinner battery still works though, but after using the zmax for 5 minutes......

It's really hard to be patient with vapestuff. I relate Neo. I think you're doing the right thing by exchanging your ZMax for what it is you ordered.

Beautiful, what is the one on the right? a 14500?

Yes it is. It's the precise simplicity 14500. I didn't think I would like the small battery size at first but I'm running a 1.4 ohm coil and get great vape with a decent battery life. I'm currently in the market for more 14500 size mods, that's how much I like it. That and the vaper by petar k are 2 of my favorite mods I own

It's really beautiful. Looks like just the right size too. It seems like you're carrying an ego form factor, but you're high end vaping. man that thing is nice looking.

That's exactly why I like it. And I highly recommend any of super T products. You can't beat lifetime transferable warranty, including refinishing if you ever scratch it.

Nice..... got my new toy... K100 with n RSST... Lots of firsts. First mech, first genny RBA, first attempt at a SS mesh wick. I did the 'pulse' method to prep it... worked out OK, didn't blow anything up and I ended up with a good performing wick at 1.2ohms. I might drill out the hole as many suggest... but right now, its fine.

And I immediately filled with some Huntsman. mmmmmm..... Huntsman.

So, right now, it's cooking at around 13w and vaping nice... Amazing actually. On silica wicked clearos on my Vamo, once I hit 9.5, bad things, very bad things.

Nice. I think that huntsman in a genny is absolutely amazing. Even better then my ADV in a genny. You will get the hang of it quickly. Now if mesh gives you a fit get some stainless steel cable and give that a whirl. I had better luck with the cable then the mesh. And I have 4-5 going with cable now and they just get reused. Rinse em off and pop em back in.

I have a bunch of cable but am unsure how to set it up, do I need to make a "diaper" or can you just wrap the coil on the cable?

Use a tiny bit if mesh to make the surface flat then wrap your coil. It's much better than mesh IMO. I haven't really had much luck with mesh. I can roll a beautiful wick but getting a coil set up on it is tough for me for some reason. Cable has that rigidity that helped me out. And it wicks great. Blew my mind at first thinking cable could be used as a wick but boy does it work. Also be sure you don't have strand core. A thin multicolor thread running in the middle of the cable. Cat off a small piece and unravel it to check. Try it out. Works great for me.

This is torched right?
How can I do this? I have a small torch and its not doing the job. Does it just need a huge flame?
Forget it. With a little more research I found a thread. Definitely need a bigger torch.

If that's torched then I need to learn that skill. That's beautiful. And that chart you showed me MP I need more info. Just need to dig a little bit. Because the temps on that chart could be hard to achieve without certain equip. Keep me posted on your findings and I will as well.
