my order status on the site says complete does that mean it's shipped? does jim email out tracking #?

It will change to shipped when it ships. If you are over 70, then the memo will also have a tracking number. Complete, it sounds like, is just the order placing being completed. It'll pass through processing briefly if I remember.

had bunch of work related network issues so I've been awake for 30 hours or so. During one stretch of utter boredom last night/this morning, I decided to take a quick video of vapor...

I don't have the huge lung capacity to create the cloud with long inhale, but I still thought it was nice and since recorded it, thought I would share :) (just one take, I can probably do better but oh well, still cool)

just 16 seconds, very short and I didn't aim the camera right... good part of the vapor is off camera...

The vapor from these is incredible.

I DID a new wick and coil today, for no reason other than how fun it is. :) It's working great, it's looking pretty, I'm getting all the things from it that a vaper could ever want.

Then I went to the mail box and saw a little envelope tucked inside. I opened the envelope and inside was a spool of 30 gauge Kanthal. And now I'm gonna have to tear down this beautiful new coil! :laugh:

Lol, don't want to rub salt in the wounds of those having troubles, but once you "get it", it is really fun to tinker and play.

After my two week cursing spree, I will certainly vouch for that. And to all those who haven't "gotten it", stick with it. You will!

The Mini DID


I just got this late last night. Ran home tonight after work, a quick polish up and took these pics while sun was going down.

I am very honored and grateful to Jim for making and sending me this special mini. All who know me, know I will treasure this always. Many thanks again Jim, I truly appreciate this very kind gesture to me. Looks and fits great on the GGTB and both will never leave home, lest something happen to this special mini.

I am not either. Mine is stuck in NY. Says it passed through sort facility now since 23Aug. This is not good. Needs to get here soon, as I leave for a vacation soon enough.

Sunda like a few more days. Hang in there.

EDIT: that was SUPPOSED to be sounds like. Auto correct to the rescue. :)

I dropped my DID while on my ProVari off of my front porch (4 ft +) on to my concrete driveway running late with a handful of stuff. I was like ohhh nooooes and ohhh chit. Picked it up, drip tip shattered, & only a tiny scratch on the top cap of the DID. Ran in to grab another driptip, popped it in and she vaped like a train. ;) :toast:

Well I missed "the panic", was too troublesome to keep up with the international tracking, so I just kicked back and waited. It would get here when it got here :) I was just thinking that it would probably be another week or so,(maybe longer if it got held up in customs for a bit, when this past Saturday it arrived :).
Today was the first time I've had the chance to play with it. Having zero experience with genesis style attomizers , I had some trepidation..

Well I layed out all my gear, made a wick and coil a la igetcha69's DiD vid..
1.) DiD and parts, mesh,etc.
2.) plumbers torch and water to quench(I have a chefs torch also, but the plumbers torch seems way stronger, it worked perfectly at any rate).
3.) Juice/tweezers/did wrench/bic lighter
4.) iPad with Mr.Mann's links to this thread, and igetcha69's YouTube vid.

Seemed to work fine, first coil was bit shaky, second one is a bit low on the ohms but no hotspots, massive vapor, guessing taste will dial n a bit as it breaks in. The second time I wrapped the coil on a 2mm bit separately, then slid the wick in. (I saw that in another vid somewhere, sorry i dont remember where, it worked though and the coils were much neater.) I was fully prepared to go buy some rolling papers, or possibly find out what the Jack Frost method actually is, but no need..The wick seems to be spot on. The thing hits like a mack truck! Next coil definately gonna shoot for a few more coils. I'm in the 1.2-1.4 range, a bit too low for my liking. Just thinking as I type this it would be easier to over coil, can always take one away, adding one not gonna happen ;) All in all pretty excited at my first attempt, it's certainly vapable and I feel like I have enough of a grasp of it to do it better next time..

My biggest worry was that I'm just not all that handy/mechanically inclined. Very glad to see that it's not really required;)

I think the wick is a winner,which is good because I should be able to use it for a good long while right?

The only thing I truly found "fiddly" about the entire coil making process was trying to get the two brass nuts to come together tightly enough and where I wanted them at the same time.

I think I am going to have to drop the nic level, I'm getting 2X the vapor so I imagine I'm also getting a good bit more nic as well.

How long does it take to "break in"? And what exactly is breaking in? The coil? The wick? I'm curious.

All in all I'm thrilled with my purchase and really looking forward to perfecting my build. Thanks to everyone who has contributed their expertise in this thread, I actually felt like I had a clue what I was doing when I got started..

Last but most, THANKS JIM!! Your work is amazing, I feel like I'm in control of my vaping life now. The powers that be can do what they like, I've got an atty for life! I'm no longer dependent on disposable parts! Woot!! And no sacrifice involved, in fact it's a HUGE improvement! Thank you, thank you, thank you!.
