And if I ever hear one more reviewer say, "It doesn't leak!", I'm gonna throw up. Every juice feeder leaks!

True that. I've tried a fair share, and even the disposable cigalike leaked into my mouth once. Some leak more than others, but no matter what, you'll be cleaning a spill at some point.

Juice feeders are as unleakable as the Titanic was unsinkable. People can make all the claims they want...they all leak (to one degree or another as you suggest). :)

Congrats on the build, It'll get easier each time. I honestly assumed you'd put DF in it you were raving about it the other day :p
I build my coils daily now just because I want to practice and only own two tanks :)
It's an absolute waste of supplies but I feel at peace when I'm building..

Neo if you want to try cable lemme know before I leave I'll hook you up with a few pieces.. Stuff lasts forever

Nice to see another RSST user! I think I got mine sorted... I recoiled to 1 ohm this time around. The vape was great at .8, but the wick had a hard time keeping up with the power, and it killed my batts, and my juice, too quick. Added a wrap, and new it's much more reliable... it'll wick forever now...

Though, it might be a function of my improving coiling as much as the lower power. Now, if I dry burn, the coils start glowing from the middle out.

I'll take that. The vape is now silky smooooooth and DF is tasting heavenly. Funny thing is that on an eVod, I got butterscotch... but at a few watts higher, now I'm getting that chocolate chip cookie taste that some have mentioned. Very nice.

I put in an order for 150 ml of Legend Friday... might follow that up with a 150 of DF next week now. If only HHV sold the 8 oz bottles that MBV does. :)

Dust, I kinda liked that wick setup that dude was using in that vid. The ekowool seems perfect for what he was trying to do. The wrap-around end was nice and clean and could be butted up nicely against the feed channel without plugging it. And ekowool can be dry burned. I like that.

In a nutshell, ekowool IS basically a silica wick, but at a higher grade than run-of-the-mill silica braid, so yes it can be dry burned. And I agree, it looks like a neat setup, whether you have the coil at an angle between the posts or perpendicular to them. The tick is raising the coil up off base so it doesn't block the air hole. He also used a 3/4 wrap to get 1.8 ohm, would that be 32 Gauge wire? He said the size wire he used was .20mm Kanthal D; metric measurements.

I noticed in the video, when he was filling it, you could see that the positive post has a slot across it; does that mean you can adjusted by screwing in or out to make an optimum connection with various mods? I ask since it has an air on the side and because I still haven't tweaked my VAMO shorty. (With the custom top plate on, the 510 connection and positive post sit just below the top edge of the plate. Meaning the VAMO tube is about 1mm too long and needs to be ground down a tad.)

But REALY! I swear, I'm not lookin', I'm not lookin'.... :facepalm: I'm blind to this :2cool:

Dusty nice shots. Hows it wicking? Seems like a lot of wick.

I redid my coil again a few minutes Ago. Used barely any extra cotton this time so just a strand is touching the base. 1.3 ohms and now I'm good for a week. I can rebuild these all night I really enjoy doing it.

AH, cool! But don't forget to save some quality time for the future MrsPicC. ;)

I cook my HHV Butter Rum at around 3.7v in an 2.1ohm Evod, yum; any higher and it's ack, ack, ack, ack... Billack.jpg

So, I got mine re-coiled while Chloe was watching TV after her dinner. Did the S shaped wick with 3mm silica (9mm total :blink:) similar to the video, then trimmed it to length before screwing on the chimney section. 3/4 coil measured at a perfect 1.8ohms again. Twice lucky so far.. :)

Here's a couple pics..

Have you ordered it yet? :D

The force compels you to do it. I can feel you weakening all the way across the globe. You may as well give in now, where you have some semblance of control, because you know that Bronze is going to be posting his pics in a couple day.. and then you'll be like a hungry rabid dog, and I shall dub thee Cujo.. :lol:
