With my new DID on the way and this being my first Genesis I'm wondering about the throat hit. I am vaping 24 mg juice right now and enjoying it but will this be too much in the DID? Have most of you lowered your nic level when using a Genesis style atty?

Thanks, Scott

I have lowered my nic level significantly. I was vaping 24 mg with carts, 16 dripping. I now vape, believe it or not, 8 mg and am happy. Occasionally I will vape 16 mg, trying to use up old supplies, but when I do, I drop voltage on my mod, so I don't cough. Depending on juice, at 8 mg, I sometimes have to crank voltage to get a good hit. I vape 50/50 pgvg.

A number of posters report having lowererd their nic on the DID, myself included. I used to vape 24 also and find 12mg with 70/30 PG/VG provides ample TH. And I'm particularly fussy on getting a good TH.

The DID withdrawal symptoms are BAD today! I hope my mailman arrives soon with my post so i can build my DID up again!

Hey, I've been sympathizing with folks with broken posts. I would always replace with the right stuff from Jim, but started thinking about a short term work around. I haven't done this yet (haven't been to hardware store to buy), but I measured the center post hole and a 1/16th inch drill bit fits perfect. I looked online and Home Depot sells 1/16th inch brass welding rods. I was thinking it may be possible to either use a vise or a ball peen hammer to flatten one end a little and then bend it 90 degrees to make an adhoc positive pin. No easy way to get threads, so could stick through center post holes, cut-off to length and use the post wrap method.

Less than ideal I know, but may at least work till USPS finishes their 27th cup of joe....

Awesome Dusty! Gotta ask, did you use the rolling paper method, drop in wick or straight wrap?

I rolled and oxidized the wick, dropped it in and then wrapped the coils around it. No paper burning etc. I wanted to try it the way I first saw it which was on Scott Bonner's video and if I could not make it work, I would have moved on to option 2, and so on and so forth.

Good Morning in here !!

Wow, I felt special with a cup of instant coffee and a handful of peanut M&Ms till I saw that. Might be a good day to take the kids to the Diner (everything in that pic looks yummy)!

...and Good Morning to you too :)

Sounds like it could work. What about a brass screw instead? Wouldn't that give you the threads needed to screw the nuts onto, as well as the head of the screw could act as the positive post at the bottom?

Something similar to this.

I think it would work. I looked, but I couldn't find a 1/16th (I believe that's 1.2mm) brass screw long enough. I found some that were way to short made originally for the inside of electrical switches.

May need to file the head flat enough to allow the DID 510 connector to screw into the PV (2 mins with a hand file or dremel). I don't have any way to figure out the thread pitch, so don't know if stock nuts would fit. I'm sure if someplace sold the screws they'd have some kind of nut that would fit.

Edit: Std sized DID post measures 1/16th x 1-15/16th or 1.2mm x 50mm if anyone is able to find, share details

The game is ON!.. finding the right replacement screw/nut combination at local hardware store. :)

Does it have to be brass, or would Stainless work too?!
