My Nanos(es) and Magma came a couple of days ago! That Magma is just fantastic. I put a couple of 24g coils in at 0.2Ω (was targeting 0.3Ω) and, wow, but it's hot. So I rewrapped at 0.25Ω, put a longer drip tip on, and I am really loving it. Not burning the juice at these resistances, just taking short draws. The flavor on the Zenith and the Magma are just fantastic and the Magma does hold lots of juice for a dripper.

Here's my setup from yesterday:

Today, the Zenith is on an all brass Nanos in 18490 mode.

Just by coincidence, my flavor rotation seems to have landed on 100% HHV yesterday and today :)

Dibi: Dragons Fire
Gus Lord: Sludge
Nanos/Zenith: Maple Eh
Nanos/Magma: Heavenly Army

Pretty cool tool, BK.
So is this the manual, or AC version - looks like manual.

Thanks, for the tip, but I already have most of the parts for a home made version of the artistic coil gizmo. All I need is a board to secure it on. Home Pro doesn't sell lumber.

So your liking that zenith v2. Cool still need to.get the v2. Really want the 22mm size over the 19mm I have now. Dang may need to think about a new mech also.

Very much so. I still have the single 24g 0.7Ω coil with CC rayon from the first day. Running with a single air flow slot wide open. (Not sure which thread I mentioned it, but I first installed a dual coil but broke one while fixing the 510 threads.) In my configuration, I'm most comfortable with around 12 drips at a time.

This morning's setup (still running Maple Eh?)

Thinking I'll let the brass go for a while, then shine it all up again later.

Bronze - You're on a roll man! Loved the Dog bit. :laugh:

Bimini Twist - I'd love to know more about that Oliver R DIBI by Pdib. Where can I get one?

The big thread where he started it all: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-supplier-forum/511889-pdibs-making-mods.html

The smaller thread with easier to find information: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...orum/524238-pdib-library-tech-specs-info.html

He makes 10 or 15 per run and I think the waiting list is already into next year. But wow is it good! Hand made, sterling silver contact pin, and more. Be aware, Todd did a couple of gushing videos recently and, though he won't do a review (by pdib's request), I expect the list is going to grow pretty fast. Kinda wishing I'd already gotten on the list for a 2nd dibi mod.

I like the 19mm clone I have. For me it's the deeper well and the post slots. They are the best for ribbon wire which is what I'm using.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Looks like it's made very solid, and will last a long time.

I still haven't tried ribbon wire in mine, but I expect to at some point. I bought some ribbon to make MM Magic wire (which I REALLY like). But I don't get the re-coil itch all that often.

Your wood selection has some influence over this.

Three of us (myself included) have managed to break the piece that goes around the bottle at the bottom (squonker lip). If I had only followed his suggestion to keep that set screw in the bottom plate, I'm sure it would not have broken when I dropped it. But it glued back together so seemlessly that only I can see where I glued it - if I look very hard.

One guy dropped his several times, and even drop-kicked it once. But he's a modder himself and had no trouble fixing it.
