    In early 2010 as a new vaper, I had lots of questions. I sent an email to Nhaler and within minutes, Drew called me and explained everything I had questions about. I bought a couple xhalers and tons of his small drip tips. He was indeed one of the best.

    I remember him from the early CASAA Skype conferences we used to have. Those were fun and productive. Look at what CASAA has developed from those early days.

    I miss Drew. He was such a good human being! CASAA has the live, interactive podcasts now (CASAA still has board meetings and communicates on Skype, lol!) and Drew would have been a hoot on those, lol!

    I would so love for something like that again, it's crying shame we can't have nice things! Last person I saw from the old days was Mark from Madvapes a couple of years ago.

    Why can't we? I'm sure we need to see how the PMTA plays out first, but I dont see why we can't have another vape meet? Have it in OKC and invite Heartland to sell nicotine. Have flavor vendors. What legal hardware vendors can showcase their stuff. And then the old school modders can be heard from. But mostly it will be a meet and greet.

    An early "wood" Darkzero Microcoil Jig. Later they were made from bar stock IIRC.

    Edit to add a picture of the later version. I've known the person who took and posted this picture for more than a year before he posted it (2014), so I know he won't mind. Maybe the wood one is a prototype?

    I've got two of the Darkzero ALU jigs (somewhere).
    I also have a Doohicky from @Sterno that I still use regularly.

    I edited the post above to include a picture of the later Darkzero jigs. My guess is that is what you have.

    By Leo (Greece) Slim and Slim Pro Tanks (with both glass and SS tank sleeves). I drove mine with their Sopia's (rebuildable, w/flow control) instead of using cartos. I acquired mine in 2013.

    If interested Qorax did a review on the Sopia's back in June 2015.
    @qorax



    Also of interest maybe is I also acquired a Zapper V2 from the UK to make the ready wires for the Sophia's. In part of one evening I made enough ready wires to be a lifetime supply of them for my 7 Sophia's (and it hasn't been used since). Soon after someone started selling packages of 50 of the wires in the US for a quite reasonable price. Sort of made the something over $100 plus price with the Int'l shipping and currency fee for the Zapper not a great investment.
