    Well getting juice to the coil now is no problem. I got too much juice. I couldn't believe the difference. I had to rewick one of the coils to make it more full on the bottom tail. Still don't have it right. I think I need to open it up, and check that both coils are still firing together. Playing with the watts, and the juice/air flow. I had to crank way down on the air flow, because I had my wicks over saturated. That is the latest update. I'm taking a break from it for a while. Past time for supper. :)
    KK try going to 28ga next build , the heavier wire is easier to work with and it decreases the chance of chopping off a lead when you crank down on it .

    I do all my building and wicking at my fly tying table. It is a cluttered work desk. It has a strong light there. When I clean the tanks, I do that in the kitchen. It I am rewicking, and refilling, I go back and forth from my tying desk, to the kitchen. I fill the juice over the trash can in the kitchen. Now aren't you glad you asked Dusty? LOLLLLLLLLLLL. Sorry. I have to laugh. I am so hard up for flavor changes, I pulled out my very last coil for the Nautilus Mini. I am not going to do anything more with the Aqua today. Sometimes you just reach a limit. I reached mine already for the time being. I will start it again when I am in a better frame of mind. If those coils aren't firing together, I am gonna be ticked. Maybe it is a loose lead. I am sorely tempted to go back to single coil, and drop the ohms. I have been vaping the Magma so much, it is ridiculous. I just want a nice filled tank, and kick back for a while...lol.

    This is my build station, after I spent an hour cleaning it up and organizing. ;)

    I use the bathroom sink to clean things out.

    Am I the only one that does rebuilding/rewicking at my desk on a kitchen towel? :)

    I must be the weird one. Master bedroom, on the Mod, Battery out. Reos and ProVari. Disassemble, dry burn/ remove old coil and wash at bathroom sink, then return to edge of bed and just lean the Mod against the side of my hip. With battery out I recoil and ohms test. Then return the battery, dry burn and wick, reassemble.
    If I tried this anywhere else in the house I'd have more help than I would want.

    Well, that explains why you have wicking issues.. :D

    I have two desks in an L shape; one is for the computer, the other is my vape station. So the answer is yes on the desk but no on the towel I have a cutting mat to lay everything out on.

    I use this silicone baking sheet to build on. It's perfect - easy to clean, easy to see atty parts and wire clippings, and it's heat and moisture resistant. I was using way too many paper towels. Now it just takes a couple for drying and cleaning atty parts.

    Those are pretty cool. Ought to get some to bake our cookies on - wonder if they have them in Thailand yet so I can save on shipping costs.

    They've been around for years. I would expect you'd get them there.

    How 'bout I send them up your way so you could train them to do so ? Just remember, they have a history of killing other animals and attacking people.



    I'll let Chloe deal with them..
