    Ok... I do use the through post for my own connection... but they are flawed to an extent. With stiffer wire such as kanthal it isn't as big of a deal but with softer wire like the NI200 used for temp controlled dna 40 boards, it does present one. When you are tightening them up, they don't have something to back the wire with... so the connection is less solid which can make the resistance fluctuate.
    In Voltron's case , we're talking about a Magma . Top post screws aren't gonna put him closer to center , he'd have to make more adjustments to get the coil in place going that route .

    I was talking about the issues that a through post connection has.. not about getting the coil closer to center

    Just need a stealthy mod... is 10w 1050mah enough for you...

    The iStick Mini 10w Mini iStick

    I believe this is VV only... 10w is the max wattage it supports but the adjustment appears to be done in volts only.

    Seems they are having trouble on more than just the K4's. Anything with an adjustable center pin.

    While I believe that, all I know is I'm not having any problems with what I own. I haven't seen issues with anything besides the K4, lemo and SquapeR. And people are working around those issues. I'm just glad it's been such an easy transition for me.

    I guess... I was just sharing the info... my VS DNA 30 is already smaller than I want at times... which is odd to say now since that was one of the reasons I got it.

    Sounds like something she would say. ;)

    The mini iStick does look awesome, but I wonder if it has an ohm meter like the regular one. There's no mention of it in the link you provided.

    Spaced coil on the Achilles. What's the trick to not messing up my spacing during threading the wick? It's working perfectly so I'm not going to mess with it, but it looked prettier before wicking.

    You can't get away from a little bit of "squeeze effect". I found it's less impacted when using thicker wire. I use 26g with my spaced coils.

    But I want it perfect Dusty! I should have taken a before wicking pic, it was perfect :)
    That's 28g.


    Channel your energy.. centre your gravity.. feel the coil... BE THE COIL!


    You feeling it?!

    If that doesn't work, just accept that what you have is good enough, and move on!
