I have a parallel 316 going now.
Parallel 26g, ss316l, 3mm, 8/7wrap. .25ish. Smooth sailing.

That's almost exactly (0.29 @3.5) what I have in a uh... Bachelor Nano (losing track).

It's... sssssssssssssmmokin'

It played hob on the DNAs for a bit though (spacing shifted maybe) so I was considering twisted instead. Or just a big fat 24g
Finally found WiresandStuff for fatter 430 gauges but I might get more 28g just to twist up.

 

[Jim_ MDP]

so they are 1mm thick?

Could be wrong but i think they are .5 mm thick.

From memory I'd say you're quite right... 0.5mm. Stackable.

 

[Mactavish]

They tell you right on the website, link I provided.

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Yes, I misspoke.

 

[puffon]

If I needed something like these discs I would find a piece of thin plastic the thickness needed and cut it the size.

Yep, I make them out of water bottle caps....

Picked one of these up yesterday. Really impressed with it after the disaster I had with the Serpent.
It's a really smooth vape with loads of flavour. Running a 26/32 316L Clapton. 6 wraps over 2.5mm for 0.55 ohms. vaping lovely at 35W.

For now... I've given up on TC with this one. but it's bangin' in Power mode.

Went ahead and tried one of the Notch coils (what's with the offset legs?).

Damn, they pre-pack a ton of wick in these things. I got over enthusiastic and trimmed the tails scary thin. Lightly tucked halfway down the cups/channels but without filling the juice hole. Scary.

Still breaking it in (passing 38w @ 0.3) but no leaks yet (new v2). Fingers crossed.

eta: Just a hint of something at the back of my throat at 42w and I'm not in the mood for a dry hit so I'm holding at 40w.

Not sure what these coils should soak up... but I'm taking a productive, full draw at 40.
Good enough for now... it may still settle in a bit.

So, I'm trying to post pics of the broken base from my iPhone and when I try to use the "upload file" button, it tells me that the file is too big. Is there a way around this?

Crop it as much as possible and try again

 

[EyesoreJr]

So here they are. That's the entire base that is supposed to be one part.

 

[EyesoreJr]

I hate to say it but I think the copper is too soft and the threads stripped when I dropped it. I have a feeling that if the screw were stainless, it would still be together.

 

[ccwaters]

The only real issue with putting it back together is the copper 510, that is if it is indeed stripped threads. Clean it up good, replace the 510 pin, tap it back together, be more careful not to drop it, it should be OK.

I'd suggest contacting SubtankSupply or Eciggity, one of them may be able to supply you a replacement 510 pin. Or possibly someone in this thread who has received a replacement base and has no plans to repair it.

If the threads are still good it can be put back together.

I have to look closer but I did try to put it back together and screw in the copper pin and it didn't thread. It may have broken off in the hole.

All the pieces have to be pressed together before putting the screw in.

What is the significance of the "8" logo?

I believe the 8 represents good luck in Chinese.

This is correct and is what their logo stands for.

Funny! I never thought of it as an "8." I always thought it was a stylized dragon...

...but maybe that's because I've always been a big fan of Iron Fist:

 

[OhmzRaw]

Hey guys, I got myself a black merlin and so far I'm loving it. I'm just curious to know what builds you guys suggest for flavor with this RTA?

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Funny! I never thought of it as an "8." I always thought it was a stylized dragon...

Could be part of the thinking. I can see it (very Asian too).

I had quickly edited my post to put "8" in place of "S".
It didn't strike me as an eight till after I posted.
Still only half convinced.

I just watched the vid Lucy posted and got a laugh that he asked the same question.
