WOOO HOOO, Gonna have to wait until I get paid but when I do I know a large order of spare parts is going to be made 
That way I never have to worry about this again. I really need to have my DID's up and running correctly. I am going to head out to the hardware store and attempt to try and find a temp fix for the moment but when I get paid there will be an order placed for spares for all of my DID's that way when my big clumsy oaf self drops the tiny parts and loses them I can replace them with authentic parts
Thank you so much everyone I am off to the races on my scavenger hunt
Sincerely;

There we go! It's only €3.20 ($4.15 or so) and it looks really, REALLY nice. Personally, I was not a fan of the spring assembly on the orion...but is it just me, or does this setup look a LOT better? The spring is definitely a lot thicker (so I'm assuming it'll make a much tighter connection between the washer and nut), the washer and nut are both custom made specifically for this purpose (versus the generic M2 nut and washers that the orion uses), and the washer itself looks to be of infinitely better quality (thicker, countersunk, level, and the guarantee that they're made of the same high quality 303/304 grade stainless steel that are DIDs are made of, rather than shtty sheet metal they press generic m2 washers from). I actually think I'm going to buy a few sets to test out! Can't really think of any way Jim could have improved upon the concept, but I guess that's what we've come to expect from him
rwechsler,
glass tanks for the mini are being made. It is going to be tricky as it is very small and difficult but an attempt is being made!

Oh yeah, those are.definitely going into my cart when I get paid again, but until then I found a solution at radioshack for the time being
Once I get home I will post the results if I can get it up and running with these

Awesome, well when they're done, you know who to call if you want a 2nd opinion on how they turned out
Also, b/c I'm assuming you had these ones made to the exact specs of the original (around 0.6mm wall thickness), I think you should also try and have a few made with at least 1.5mm wall thickness. As far as most practical glassware goes (and i'm talking about the glass you guys have in the netherlands that's used for applications we can't discuss on ECF *wink* *wink*), 2mm is usually the absolute thinnest people will make anything, b/c if it's too thin, it's way too inclined to shattering.
Hell, if it aint broke don't fix it! I came up with what I think is a very interesting concept for the + post assembly that I know has never been attempted before that I'm going to test out tonight! If it works well, I'll post pics and rant about how great it is later tonight. If it sucks, I'll post pics anyways and rant about how great what's currently out there already is xDOh yeah, those are.definitely going into my cart when I get paid again, but until then I found a solution at radioshack for the time being

And now onto a completely different train of though all together!
I just stumbled upon this on one of the Ecig related facebook groups, Of Wick & Wire, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried this yet? It's a neat idea, but I'm too skeptical to believe it works without testing it for myself.

Okie Dokie, well the nuts I got I have found appear to be nickel plated so I kept getting LO errors on the Provari when testing the Ohms. So I took one and sanded off the finish on the flat side and now finally it is working great! a nice 5 wrap of 30 gauge on a nice fat wick with a 3/64 inch channel down the center and it is making beautiful clouds Here is the Setup
Can't wait to get the real parts though, but for now this will work to keep it running in the meantime

Nickel is still conductive, which means you wouldn't get an OP error because of that, so that leads me to believe that the nuts are coated in something else, and probably something that you don't want exposed to too much heat!! Just to be safe, you should sand down the entire nut, maybe boil it, and give it a nice long cooking with your torch to clean it off!

O M G!!! In my excitement I grabbed the wrong danged wire spool LOL I was trying to get a coil out of NR .999% Pure nickel wire Oiy now I feel sheepish LOL
Okay so all is good, I tried a non sanded nut and it works just as good as the one I sanded
So these are just fairly shiny stainless nuts apparently Really cool because now I have 30 of them in case I have any more unfortunate fumbles with these ginormous mitts of mine LOLSincerely;

30??? Better be careful or Jim may think you're stealing business.
Hey, that's pretty cool. I'll give it a shot when I coil/wick the Gemini. Was there any more detail about juice on wick vs. dry, low batt vs. full, tight vs. loose coil, etc? I'm a bit skeptical too as I've had coil/wick setups that held hot spots/shorts for a lot longer than what he was doing in the vid, although I do believe in the "self-healing" powers that come with patience (for me it doesn't need to be perfect, just vapable and break-in usually fixes the rest).

LOL Smallest pack they had
But at least I know I have backups just in case because I can foresee myself losing these things easily they are so tiny compared to my hands. I can hardly get a grip on them at all. All is well though and Standard DID is putting out Clouds Nate aka Darth Vapor
Received my first ever Kick today, just in time to start trying it out in my BAM during our first heavy storm of the season. 12" of rain expected! The river is going on flood stage monitor alert tomorrow. There won't be much sunshine for my solar panels/batteries, but will check the thread whenever the sun breaks for a spell. Don't be having too much fun without me!
Oh yeh, the Kick. All I need to do is figure out where I'll want to set it. I like a fresh battery vape, in my mech mods and usually have a LR coil of some sort or another. Mine seem to change ohms every day lol. I'm thinking 8 watts should do me. Guess I'll see...
Wow, not too sure I'd brave that new fangled way to oxidize the wick. I'd probably pop coil after coil. It's interesting though...
Way cool on finding those replacement nuts Nate! I have one or two emergency sets on hand, but hope to get more. I like the new spring set idea, haven't yet tried that way yet, but might have to stock up on a few of those too.
Here's hoping Miriam's hangover is long over. Haven't heard much from her lately, must have been a doozy! Gotta watch those partying DID's y'know.

I agree, it seems to me that purposely burning through shorts and hotspots would seriously be a bad idea. If you do use an older battery you also run the risk of it being less tolerant to this practice as well and may cause it to vent. An electrical expert can probably expand on that but this just seems like a very bad idea to me. I rarely even use the torch I have anymore because a cheap 99 cent bic lighter works just as good.

Not too many details posted, but I'd suggest using thicker kanthal, either 28 or 30g, so it's less likely to pop right off the bat, and what Monoxxide said, using an old batt. When you first try to fire up something like that, the instantaneous output from the battery would be astronomical, and that'd be a result of the battery trying to push every drop of power into heating the length of the wire from the post to the first point of contact on the wick, which could potentially be extremely dangerous and probably isn't good for your batteries!

Yeah being a Weather Forcaster myself I am very much Monitoring that storm offshore I have Family up in Modesto too so it is of some concern to me.
Thank you
It took a few stops but we ended up getting some other things we needed to pick up while we were out as well at those places. I have that spring type set up stock on another Mod I have and it works great. I know rick has the same mod as well. A lot of folks do not like the spring thingy but I find it to be very easy to set up and I can't wait to get it for all of my DID's because it is easy to set up for me and I do not run the risk of losing more top nuts LOLBe careful and aware with all the rain my Friend;

Burning through shorts is definitely a bad idea, but I think burning through hotspots isn't as extreme. A friend of mine (who actually just sold his AC9 and Spheroid to buy his first and second DIDs) told me that to eliminate hot spots, he fire the coil, let's the hot spot get nice and bright, and then he blows directly onto the hot spot, and supposedly after doing this a few times, you get an evenly glowing coil! This is another one of those tips that I can't speak for from personal experience, but it's something else worth exploring!
Damn, so you oxidize with just a bic?? So then I guess the flame must get hot enough to oxidize the mesh, which would be great for recoils/wick maintenance on the go, but my biggest concern would be roasting my fingers! Those little .......s get hot!
