This picture is helpful, thanks!
Yeppers, that's a fact.Gently remove a coil. That should put you where you want it. I had same problem but I'd coil up. Easy to remove but you can't add.
I did this DID with 400/600/800 to get a somewhat "close" match to the +P 18350.I hear ya, I do like polished SS (especially when they shine like dspins) but satin is my preference as well. Would look really good on my flat top P+. Perhaps I'll practice on some SS and see how easy it is to create a satin finish. I have access to a bead blaster, but not sure that would give the desired result. Either way, love the DID, Jim has really made something special for us! Can't thank him enough, though perhaps buying several more of his products IS thanks enough

I bet it's gonna be tasty!I'm (*-*) this close to making my first batch.
Have to wait til it cools down here first. I'm at super low energy right now. Don't like the heat and visa versa. All I do lately is sit at the pc or at the xbox (kid's into MineCraft lately and is teaching me my way around the blocks). which means that most likely I'll be here patiently waiting for you get YOUR hiney back in the kitchen.![]()
Hi Cloud Wizard, just to clear it up for you a Gas Hob as we call it in the U.K is the gas burners on the top of your cooker/stove.
You must have a great wife/husband as by the sounds of it you don't do too much cooking...lol.
We do have a stove, but it is a glass topped electric. I will however openly admit I prefer to have some else do the cooking. I told my wife that even a bologna sandwich tastes great if someone else makes it

I still fighting for the flavor. The only good flavor I had with genesis style is my old Line SS.with my DID I tried different wick setups: using cotton ball, cigarette paper, bamboo yarn.. A LOT of vapor, no shorts or hot spots, but no flavor neither.. Very very mute, hardly can recognize the juice flavor, they all taste the same. What I'm possibly doing wrong?
DID day 4 - sold all those cartos I wont be using any more and that non-DID and ordered 2 more DIDs I'm DIDicted
I get like double the flavor as I would a carto and I would say its on par with dripping if not better. Make sure you quench the wick with your ejuice 3-4 times and use a lighter to burn it off(be careful) and I would try and stay from using anything else like the rolling paper method - although I have those days where I want to make a fast wick and I put rolling paper on it and it works really good even if I dont burn the paper off.I still fighting for the flavor.

Do you put any kind of other wick material in the center of your SS mesh wick to keep the liquid from leaking down the center of the wick?
2 days ago I said the DID doesn't leak but I take it back, even with the screw on the fill hole it can still leak (through the wick I guess). It just happened to me today, it was upside down for like 10-20 minutes and I noticed after that around 2ml has leak out of it !
It's not a good idea to put the DID upside down... maybe if I fold the edge at the top of the wick or just pinch the top it will help not to leak as much though...
I suggest you store it upright. I rest my lavatube/DID in an old pipe holder, works well.
I oxidize my mesh using a gas stove.Can anyone tell me why every video I see of wick oxidizing they all use butane gas torches, do I need one of these or could I just oxidize the s/s mesh using my gas hob ?
What do you guys do when the wire sticks to the mesh...

Did the DID by hand. Took 5 - 10 minutes.DID you do that by hand or DID you set it up on a device?
If you DID it by hand I'll give it a shot when it's time to change wicks.
