    I went back to rayon with fluff Retic. I'm using just less than a two inch strip the width of the bell stem. Take my needle and make it even, making sure it's touching the sides. Wick the rayon same as the cotton and it's actually pretty darn good.
    It's working perfectly now , I'm not gonna fix what ain't broke . For the time being anyway . :)

    Why thank you, Retic! Thanks to your guidance, I didn't even break into a nervous sweat. I'm glad I had time to get comfortable with the Stingray and the multimeter first. I didn't even add the VapeSafe. It was all about chasing the flavor. :)
    Almost anticlimatic huh , no sonic boom from your Magma , just vape . :)

    Are you sure you're sure ? Are you absolutely , positively sure that you're sure ? You could be sure today but not sure tomorrow . So are you sure that you're Sure ? :)

    Today, I'm sure!

    Tomorrow or the future.. I'm always open to suggestion. I would not have cycled through so many different mods up until now if I wasn't. ;)

    How about cotton ball? Or Kanthal wire? Or ss cable? Another box of Rayon? Need any of that?


    nope! nope! nope! God nope! :D


    Edit: I passed by a CVS Pharmacy yesterday, and for just a second there I thought about going in and getting some rolled cotton that folks used to always talk about. :D

    I read last week that someone is converting Magmas to bottom feeders for use on the REO's , that has the potential for a Holy Crap type of vape , I'll post here if I can find them , you've already got half the equation .

    Trucks packed and I had nothing to do but vape. Note, I hate polishing metal, but the only thing I hate more than polishing metal is having metal that's not polished. This is why I went with the Black Copper Stingray. Well, I was beating the hell out of it and it got pretty scratched up. I hate that too. So I grabbed the same polish I use to do my truck with and sat down with a couple of micro fibre towels.

    It looks awesome , you could always put a patina on it and seal it if you get tired of polishing it though .

    That's next. I have a great concoction to make a nice patina on copper. I had to take the powder coating off before anything though. Surprising how fast it came off. Didn't even need to use my sand paper on it.

    How hard is it to get the rayon into the coil? Does it twist up easy?

    Rayon is cello cotton right? Cello is what I'm talking about. I'm not sire Robin. It just feels fake. Don't like the flavor I get from it especially in the beginning.
    Standard cotton twine has and will always be the best flavor IMO. Eko is the best for sub and dripping which is what I do. Anything that can't dry burn just Dont work for me.
    I have a dripper that sat for a week with a pretty clean liquid in it I opened up the other day. The cello looked disgusting.
    Nothing I say has any proof its just a feeling and I hate it for that ;)
