Thanks everyone!
What gague/ohms did that come out to?
Thank you!
They're 30 awg Kanthal. Each one is 16 wraps @ 1.6Ω, came out to 1.33Ω total. I'm an idiot, I totally forgot I was building for a VV & made the resistance too low. Each one should probably be 4-5 wraps more or I should have used 32 awg. I didn't even realize until it started cutting off when I got above 4.5V.
I'm so used to side ait holes now that I had forgot what it feels like to have a gurgling atty on a bottom feeder. It's more airy than my usual preference but it could use more air flow (and I can adjust that on this one). It gurgles quite a bit on the first drag or two because of how I made the bottom air feed channels. Hits decent if I take lung hits which I normally don't do all the time.
Unfortunately I don't like it that much because of the gurgle. So unfortunately this build is going to go back into storage again. I'm going to keep the Ti RBA cap/drip tip, drill a side hole for it, & just mod another base with a juice well & go single coil.
how does the wrinkle/vein finish do as far as dings and scratches. I imagine they hide blemishes a little better than solid anodized colors? Or is that just my imagination? I wanna get the hammer tone 2.1
Never had an anodized one so not really sure. Only my Mini 2.1, which is what I carry every day, has two very minor scuffs on the back). Only noticeable at certain angles. I would say the wrinkle is pretty durable but than again I don't abuse the things that I cherish & of course my Reos I do. No issues at all with the vein finish, I assume it would probably hide scuffs even better. I'll try to snap a pic for you later.
I'm not sure if these finishes are powder coat or paint. I'm thinking they are powder coat but I did manage to scratch through the wrinkle on the bottom of my Grand when it fell on my metal bed frame. It's was only a very small scratch though. Used a paint pen to fill it in & can't even tell it's there. Because of that I'm thinking it might just be paint. Whatever it is I really love the finish on them that Rob does. Definitely quality & my standards are always high.
And DZ says he is not a good photographer. The quality of your pix is off the chain bro.
Haha, thanks brotha! But in all seriousness, I'm no photographer. I barely know the basics & use P&S cameras. I wish I knew more about photography. Heck I don't even consider myself a machinist, I just pretend.
