    Ordered my sister's charger from an ebay seller this morning. Got shipping notification this evening. It's coming from Austin TX so hopefully it will be here Wednesday or so.

    ETA: still no word from slowtech on the SVD.

    I'd open another ticket and raise 50 kinds of hell with'm , probably won't get your stuff any faster but it'll definitely make ya feel better ! :)

    Tried a 1mm dragon coil in the IGO last night , wicked per Riptrippers video , soaked the cotton well , .8 ohms running at 14 watts , two hits and YUCK , burned cotton , rewicked , lowered to 10 watts and same thing , ripped it out and went back to a 2mm horizontal micro with the wick running through it , same .8 ohms resistance and perfect tasty hits , Riptripper can keep his erected coil and cotton condom setup ! :)

    vertical coils only work on 3.1's and SSmesh gennys.... they need airflow either inside or out... :)

    Nope he had it in an RDA , don't remember which one but he totally encloses the coil with the wick starting at the bottom and leaving just the top open , I don't care what you put it in the air can only flow across the top that way , it produced clouds for two hits then burnt , I would assume a problem with wicking or VG but that doesn't explain why it works with a horizontal coil with the VG .

    26650 batteries recharge themselves...
    last nite at about 10:30 I took a reading on my new 26650 battery after several hours of use ( 3.7V ) and this morning I took another reading
    4.0V... I luv this battery ;)
    ( guess I didnt get a good contact with the probes last night... explains the increase in voltage..)

    but even after several hours of use yesterday ( 3pm - 11pm)... its still at 4.0V :)

    I did a complete wick wrap on my RSST horizontal coil ( thinking that extra coverage would increase juice contact with coil) and found out quickly that it doesnt work.... airflow is a main part of the equation... :)

    went and visited another new B&M near the house today... very nice people there and quite helpful. They carry some kewl toys and have 3 lines of juice with intents of getting 2-3 more... put a bug in thier ear about Heathers NET line... they seemed interested even more so after sampling the Temptation...

    I got to meet the manager of Smokecignals too ( he makes some awesome flavors). I noticed that 3 of 4 people there had Stillaires RDA's.
    Got to try one and it took me about 3 seconds to pull the trigger and get one...
    They are well made, air control is fantastic, flavor out of the wazoo... Im gonna say this RDA is the "HCigar3.1" of drippers. Well worth the funds.....

    I know most of you fill the KFL from the top. Tried it and didn't like it. I use the bottom fill screw and this is for anyone else that does. Or if your fill screw is leaking. Mine started to leak because the gasket fell apart. I have a replacement that I made but last night I found a replacement that I think will work good. Take the insinuator from a Protank head. Push it on something so it's snug. Then use a razor knife to remove the bottom part. The top part will fit in the fill hole of the KFL if it's the deep one. I just put one in mine to test tomorrow so I'll let you know if it leaks but I don't think it will. Also when you remove the screw the washer stays in the hole. No trouble filling and it lines the screw up with the hole when you put it back in. Just passing along the info.

    wonder if you placed the screw into the gasket, installed the screw into the tank bottom and then took a razor blade to it and removed the excess??

    The original KFL doesn't have a gasket/o-ring. It's just a screw. Mine has never leaked. I'd rather be lucky than good.
