Thanks you for giving me encouragement to continue. I really don't want to be defeated by this thing. You mentioned the nuts, I guess he changed the post and the nuts to the stainless steal on all the new orders. I received my DID a couple of weeks ago, and that is what I got and both sides of the ss nuts are the same. The other difference in the ss nuts is that the retaining nut for the post is an elongated nut with the width of two, and the filler and ground screws are a lot taller than the original with ridges for finger tightening and a slot for a mini screw driver. (This post of mine has a picture of my set up--- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...enesis-type-atomizer-did-196.html#post7393999 )
Because of watching the videos that the young guy "kid" made, I ordered an extra set of the nuts, and the extra set that I received were the copper ones. I was going to try to use the extra set instead, but they are wider than the ss ones, which ended being too close to the wick (Papers width away), I thought it would add to shorting problems.
Monoxxide, I have ECF set up to show more posts per page than normal. My page numbers only go up to 203 pages today. What is your post number?
Also, is my extra torching of the wick (5 times total) helping of hurting?
Does the oxidation easily rub off from adjusting the coils and sliding into the hole, enough to cause shorts?
Does everyone's top coil get too tight when tightening the nuts, where you have to adjust it again?
The tightening nuts is a good thing. Yes, when I snug my final nut down I use a needle nose pliers, and the wick bends toward the center post. I then take a dental pick, pin, paper clip, or tooth pick, in other words whatever I have handy, and jam it between wick and center post to give a wee bit of separation. No top short. Make sure your coil is laying on the ground of the DID, till right before it starts its wick climb. Don't go crazy on oxidation. Jack frost until it grays a bit on both sides, roll, juice, burn, and go. Don't worry about early failure, it happens to both the smart, and those less endowed
