    Ok, gave it a good ultrasonic bath with some Chopin vodka, rinsed and dried. Went with dual micro .28 with 5/6 wraps that came in at .65 ohms running ~21watts. Set it up on the second/middle air hole and it's kicking pretty hard. Very smooth vape. Great flavor. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Thanks Calve , it sounds good , it's definitely different from everything else out there .
    Retic, I've been vaping on this all day and it keeps surprising me. It's rivaling the Herron in flavor and it's such a warm, smooth vape. This shot is after 9 refills with HHV. All different flavors.

    Awwww Dam ! I feel a case of shineyitis coming on ! It sounds awesome , and those deep wells on it really have my attention , I'm always overfilling the IGO to the point of juice running out of the airholes , the Magmas design just makes sense to me . I'm glad you're enjoying it , now to get my hands on one ! :)

    Glad to hear you like the Magma, Calve.

    I put one on order this weekend and can't wait to try it out. I really like the Zenith V2, but it doesn't hold a lot of juice (nor was it designed to). I'm thinking I'll put the Magma on my tiny little Vapor Shark and go further between drips. I have a KFL on it now and it's just too top heavy and weird looking for my taste. Of course, the KFL can lie on its side with no worries, but . . .

    Now that I have multiple 22mm drippers here or on the way here, I had to order another mech mod so I can put the Lord Estia back where it belongs. I spent two or three days at mmvapors.com trying to come up with a Nanos combo that my wallet and I can agree on. I want nearly all combos and my wallet said I can have one. So we compromised and I bought two (and I think I snuck in a spare tube or two).

    I had an Idea on how to wrap coils a bit easier than trying to wind wire around a shaft....
    so I thought about it and tried out a prototype winding jig... very simple device, basically a brass tube with a slot cut in the end
    DSCF0040.jpg

    you insert wire into the slot and twist the tube, holding the wire steady with a bit of tension
    DSCF0041.jpg

    and you continue to twist/twirl/turn the tube untill you get the number of wraps you desire
    DSCF0039.jpg

    once you have the number of turns you want, simply slide the coil off of the end of the tube.....

    no more wrapping the wire "around" the form, just spin the form/tube and let the wire "wrap" onto it...
    nice tight coils....

    I got the brass tube from a hobby shop for about a $ they come in several sizes.... I cut the slot with a Dremel disc

    Remember... you saw it here first!! a BK original :)

    so when you come across a RipT video saying how awesome this is.... you can say BK did it first :)
