Get It vape block get the order put a build in it won't read on my alien or any the 15 mods at the shop finally a minkin reads it when I hear they don't read on it work with minikin 4 ceramic screw drivers finally the 510 unscrews inspect it scratched to he'll with a chip in it

Pop in a new one 2 days later it's finally working great flavor with some framed staples hated the wattage I had to use them so buy my normal go to fused claptons all 4 grubs are striped never over tightened them just enough so coil would stop popping out

Replace them instead of using the allin key I use my tweezers again not over tightening

Now I get no flavor sat at my shop used various rtas same juice wire builds cotton wattage

Still no flavor now I'm getting ohms to low no coil error again with it in all mods

Im ducking done with this over priced mess

I don’t think I understood.. well.. any of that, though stripping grubs left me with an unpleasant mental picture.

I take it you don’t wrap your own coils and have a shop do it for you? Wouldn’t they have been the one that over tightened the screws then?

Probably end up with some straight ssl316 spool soon and wrap my own now that I know 2.5 works wonder why the 3ids where not giving me any flavor I think these Claptons are stainless and I was using kanthal and ni80

You'd be surprised how drastically small adjustments can affect things (or maybe not, since you've just seen first-hand). ID isn't always the first thing I'd address on a build, but in some atties the change can be dramatic. The Entheon is a recent example: 3mm ID on an exotic coil is harsh and lacking flavour. 2.5mm is smooth and delicious.

If it can be tweaked, it can affect your results.
