New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

[Lazerrred]

BAM, Jim just PM'd me. My previous Email to Jim may have gotten lost somewhere in the DID rush as Jim has always been one to provide excellent customer service.

Sorry for my English not another DID another thread
I do not want ot seam mean or bad
I just want this thread not for orders and imrovments but for the DID and it's setup and fotos that I love to see

I know what you mean Jim - you want your thread about the DID as you have made it, discussion on setup and photos of your DID.

Since this thread has become one for modifications and also people questioning re: shipping times, etc. Why not start another thread - if you are allowed for just photos and setup, and the DID as you have made it. If anyone strays in that thread - then just delete their post and direct them back to this thread.

I understand perfectly how you feel about the direction this thread has taken in the last couple weeks.

I say leave the DID as it is. No one including yourself can design/make any one device that will be a perfect fit for everyone. That's why we have other choices if we desire. Judging by the responses on this thread I must say that you nailed the DID as it is to fit the majority of it's users. Just because it isn't a fit for everyone doesn't make it a bad thing. I'm still enjoying my DID, sure I may experiment with different wicks and coils, but the overall solid design of the DID is perfect for myself.

I agree. Nothing in the world can please everybody. The DID was only my second rba, I find it easier to set up & better in design & use. It does take some tinkering & experimenting to find an individual 'sweet spot', but it is there

I am glad that you have figured out everything.

Let me clarify the word clockwise in my original post under the section THE VAPING CHAMBER.

“Be aware that as the wire is wrapped around the post in a clockwise fashion (the better practice), when tightened, it will pull the wick closer to the nuts. Clockwise wrapped wire, when tightened, will be pulled inward towards the center post, instead of being pushed away.”

It may not have been very clear that both sentences were addressing the wire to either the ground or center post nuts, not the coil or wick.

“will be pulled inward towards the center post, instead of being pushed away.”

The effect of pulling inward vs. pushing away could be better illustrated if one is using a stranded wire vs. solid wire. Picture Here under Solid versus stranded.

In this case, for the coil, it makes no difference whether the wire is going to and out of the wick clockwise or counter-clockwise. There will always be one entry or one exit that is in-between the ground nut and the center post, either the coil is wrapped clockwise or counter-clockwise. For example, starting from the ground nut, clockwise wrapping will put the wire between the ground nut and center post first, then come out from outside, at the top, to the center post, and vise versa, if it is wrapped counter-clockwise. In fact, every turn of the coil is in between the wick and center post.

“Clockwise wrapped wire, when tightened” not only will pull the wick toward the center post, (danger of shorting to the center post) it will also cut into the wick’s oxidized layer and shorting it to the wick, from the wick’s rebound tension. The perfect example is from sweeperdk’s first attempt photo.

Leave some room for the wire, before you tighten it or secure the wire while you are tightening it.

Since the original post was long already, I might have left out reasoning behind some of the important principles.

Lets put it this way, I have figured out what works well for me, you might be different. I try not to over think the thing. All I know is I've got clouds of good tasting vape. As stated before, works for me. Do I have it all figured out? For my needs, yes.

I am getting so much better at making the coil now and I am having the best vape EVER right now! Even tho I've been vaping for just a little over a month, I am so glad upgraditis hit me very quickly and I got into DID/rebuildable, this is the vaping experience I want.

I have some extra O Rings I can drop in the mail to you. PM me your addy. I am short on the correct screws as my last DID (the 3rd) that I received, was missing a brass nut and some of the ground screws were not threaded all the way up. They will not tighten down on the kanthal wire without a tiny, impossible to find washer that you have to file / sand as not to short on the bottom nut. LOL, I need a brass nut. (that just doesn't sound right)

I sent an email to Jim Friday but have not heard back, so if anybody has an extra brass nut, it would be cool to work something out with you to get one. (I've been the the local hardware stores, but no luck to find the correct thread on any type nut.)

That is so sweet of you! But, I was asking for a poster in another thread, not for me. Thanks anyway!
Another poster over there told the person who needs the screws and o-rings this: "Tortel sa ebay bro. m2 ss nuts. I bought it from a uk vendor on ebay".
But I have no idea what it means lol. It might help you in your quest though?

Good deal! Hey, while you have him on the line, ask him about the size of the 0-rings.

Try a hobby store for nuts and screws. Some of the nuts from one of my RC Helicopters fits the center post.

Jim is an awsome guy. He always responds to my e-mails in a fast and prompt manner. My last order got to me in 4 days from him telling me it was shipped. He makes a super quality device that does not need any changes what so ever.

My DID-up

You just won in the weirdest drip tip contest !

 

[Horseman9]

Just for Jim -

 

[elfstone]

Oh, wooow!

Like other folks get all excited buyin' the newest version 45.3 of some Chinese dumpster padding, we have our own lil' glorious moments by adding or subtracting a coil or a mesh inch or whatever. Who's with me?

Anyway, I just re-did my DID with a wick like rwechsler showed - thick and thin walled. Awww me lordie! What wicked wicking! No way... this thing, I mean... you can't really vape it above horizonal because it's gonna flood. Chain vapeable at vertical! Thanks, man, you rock!

Sure, my palate is way softer, so I'm sporting a 6/5 wrap (sort of... I can't really tell how you guys count, I counted to five while wrapping) which makes for 3 Ohm and I run it at around 5V. It's a freight train! No way... Pluid tastes out of this world good!

I have an even better one

 

[grabeard]

I am with you Jim, I vape only vg tobacco and I have not seen any oxidation on either of the center posts on my DID's. I wrap around the post ang put 1 nut on top for air flow.

When I was designing the DID I was designing a clean machine,a machine for those who see this like a hobby and not just an electronic cigarette
This is the DID
He is classic and in my opinion is not for everybody
People maybe think that now with the DID they can setup it in 5 minutes
If you think that you have misanderstood something
Yes the DID made things better for those who want to invest some time and LOVE this filosophy as it is!
I sold hundrents and only some maybe not more than 30 people do not call the DID as an excellent easy to setup easy to clean and so simple atomizer people who have many atomizers and they have experience!
I do not say that is perfect for everyone I say that is perfect for me and I have invest time and money to finaly sell you the DID
So please is it good for this thread if I make another THREAD one for people who want to do tunnings with the DID?
Because I read and I see some videos out there that they have not even the basic physic in their thoughts!

I love that drip tip...

Anyway, here's my DID with a telltale splash of Pluid on it!
