/start rant

If I had any hair on the top of my head, I'd be pulling it out by now.. trying to build these Orchids.

The post screws must be super sharp, because they keep cutting my 28g wire as I tighten them. If I don't tighten them enough, the wire moves and readings are off. 26g works better but then I'd end up with super low ohm coils when built in a dual setup.

Grrr!

/end rant. :)

Is it the hole connections or wrap-around-the screw connection?

It's 4 posts, so the screws are tiny and close to each other. The easiest way to do it would be to use the holes. Filing down the bottom of the screws would be the cleaner option.

I got one of them done. Dual coil. .8 ohm. 28g. Clear M-tank and Top fill cap. Phew!!

Loaded with 100% VG Dragons Fire at 3mg.

I tried lung hitting it, and coughed my head off. Not yet recovered from the cold enough to do it yet.

Atleast the damn build is done!! Needlenose pliers and microfile to take the edge off the post screws. :D
