Heheh… there you go you can ship out your spot checks with a special label and an inflated price. (lol J/K on the inflated price part) – Kill two birds with one stone. Satisfy the customer and off load all of your spot checked items.

You must be feeling pretty good about yourself right about now Leaford. The folks on these threads have been so starved for attention that they can't seem to get enough of you. This subforum exploded, as soon as you started posting again. I think it is safe to say that they are "showing you the love".
Glad to see that you are back myself. Don't be afraid to dish on upcoming changes/improvements. We bloogites just love something new to chat about on here. If you get us all excited and satisfied again, we'll help you guys sell lots of hardware and cartos.
Tell NYC that its safe to come back now too. It looks like you've got the lynch mob back in line for her. ROTFL. You didn't forget to check in on your feathered friend did you?

Thanks, Vapin. And unfortunately I can't webcam with Mike right now, but I skyped with my neighbors who bird-sit for me, and he's fine.
All my burnt tasting cartos measured low resistance and yes you can fix that, without taking it apart. Problem solved.
I realize this is a pretty dead thread, but I stumbled onto it and I'm hoping Fuzz might check in...
I gotta ask how you can possible fix a too low resistance carto...AND without taking it apart besides?? I'm not an electrical engineer nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I'm pretty sure the resistance is determined simply by the gauge of nichrome wire and the specific length used to make the coil, no? ie 36 gauge is 27ohms/ft...how can you change/fix that?
You are absolutely correct that nichrome length determines resistance, the greater the length, the higher the resistance. The coil is not soldered in there, it is held in place mechanically. You can, though the center hole, push the coil upwards to increase the resistance. By doing so, you are increasing the effective nichrome length between the center pin (+) and the carto body (-). The shank of a small drill bit works.
Hmmm...so basically you are adding a little length by effectively using some of the legs that were 'outside' the resistance circuit (down the sides of the silicone, but below the casing), right?
Yup. I just had to adjust a new cart this morning... filled it up and it was on the hot side. Usually a new filled carto takes a few puffs to really get going, but this one was cranking out vapor right off the bat. Rather than keep puffing and KNOW it's going to taste burnt midway through, I checked it immediately: 2.1 ohms. Got a small allen key and pushed up the coil, ever so slightly and rechecking several times, until it was at 2.6 ohms. Perfect, and I'm vaping it as I type. Doesn't work all the time, as some coils aren't centered and you wind up going right past it with your "tool". It also doesn't help a carto where the coil is so offset that it's touching the wicking material. And it also doesn't help a carto that has so much silicone caulk in it that the caulk found its way on to the coil. Caulk on the leads near the connections are ok as there is some heat sinking going on, but on the coil is bad as it tastes like dookie.
V2 cartos, from what I understand, addressed the issues of inconsistency in the manufacturing process.
