New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

[ricklynchcore]

I'm using a Young June V2 "LavaTube," the amp limit of which is supposedly 4, but my setup totally fired on it. I did get the "LO" light, but while it was firing. Do you have another big battery mod? My Bolt with an 18650 seems to be playing nicely with my twisted 1 ohm coil.

Even if you can't get it to work, I think not being able to do twisted coils is fine. The DID rules with boring ol' untwisted coils, too. As soon rwechsler's video goes up and I have time to watch it, I'm gonna be tearing down this setup (and maybe keeping it in a little baggie or something) and attempting to ape what he does. I don't really see myself sticking with a single coil for much more than a day, not anytime soon anyway. It's just been too fun to fiddle!

Gomtuu, how do you like the youngjune v2, thinking about getting one?

I think the switch is rated 2.5 amps, not sure though. But that would make senses, I made a new coil, having trouble with it, it only fires at 1.4 ohms, if it's below it says 'Lo', probably as in ohms too low to fire.

Well, no twisted coil at 1 ohms for me :\

The LT is 2.5 amps. Its working for me. Dual coil 4 wraps at 1ohm. Put it on the ProV V2 at 3V and it codes out as soon as the wick dries out. No dry burning with the ProV.

Edit: IMO its not enough power though.

Edit2: IMO ProV's 3.5 amps are still not making me happy. Going back to single coil. Guess I need thinner wire : )

4 wraps at 1 ohm doesn't sound right if it's 32 guage kanthal, it should be more.

They're playing with twisted wire (dual coil) setups so only get 1/2 the resistance. That's why I use higher resistance wire (34awg) so that I can get a 3/4 up around 1.7ohm - 1.8ohm.

 

[Dusty_D]

CW, what's the rationale behind doing a twisted wire setup? Is it primarily to lower ohms?

 

[Cloud Wizard]

Originally I guess it was (or maybe sounded cool so I tried it and liked it). I used to only go HV, but I like setting up my DIDs to be usable on anything 3.7v or VV now. What I've found (YMMV) is that it provides a smoother flavor and for some reason a lot less hot spot/short issues. Someone conjectured that the twists may change the amount of surface area touching the wick and created channels in the coil that pulled juice into the coil itself. I don't know any of that to be true, but it tastes great and makes tons of vapor.

I just saw a RipTripper vid talking about 30AWG. That's a pretty thick wire but I think I'm going to order some and try and see how it does. Once a trinketer, always a tinkerer

Hey Uma, I liked the the pic of the Salma Hayek vaping kit. Unfortunately, not sure I could pull it off. Do they make one in Harley black/orange?

 

[Uma]

That was adapted from (C)loud (W)izard, Uma. LOL

OMG! How so silly of me. I thought it strange for CW (Classwife) to provide such a great tip... I shoulda listened to my instincts and double checked the quotes. Shoot. Now I'll never see another great meal from her again after telling her to get over it. Oh dear me. I can see it now. "Good morning DiDiots! Here's a nice Western Omelett with country fried potatoes and a side of biscuits and gravy for everyone. Everyone EXCEPT Uma that is. You know why Uma. Get over it!"

eeks! and even sillier was the fact that in my haste to post, I had totally forgotten to apologize to Cloud Wizard for not crediting him with his own quote. I'm so sorry! Where oh where did I put my thinking cap lately? Must have left it on the "Orbit" ride at the fair I bet.

Resistance heating wire Kanthal A-1 33 awg 100 ft, | eBay

I guess 33ga for those wanting higher ohm build...

got myself a few... so after all of that shipped, I will be sitting on 200 ft 30ga, 400ft of 32 (which bring up my total to 800+ ft here and there) and 200 ft of 33... I think I am done looking for kanthal for awhile which is a relief after the recent draught.

I have a couple of sheet of mesh... maybe I need a few more...

 

[overall]

Well today I rewicked and recoiled 5 DID's in an hour. I used the jack frost method. Torched the mesh sheet till red twice. Just glowed red and I moved on to another section. Rolled the wick and did a juice burn. No quenching anywhere and darned if that doesn't just work. All those hours spent torching and quenching for nothing. Now I did use the 400 mesh because I hadn't ever used any of that. Seems to be wicking the high VG just fine. I keep my fill screw in.

Oh ...... and my new pink provari came in today. Shiny DID looks great on the pink provari.

WOW! You're gonna need a lot of DIDs. Thats a lot of wire (800ft = over 1600 coils or 1 a day for the next 4 1/2 years)

Yep! Here's a couple to start browsing with.

Barnett Harley-Davidson Coin Purse Wallets

and another: HARLEY DAVIDSON Boots LEATHER Coin Purse Change Pouch Mens Shoes Cowhide Wallet | eBay

So far I've only found the single zipper ones but surely there are some out there with the double pocket.

oh, and hey! Don't knock yourself. I bet you'd put the SH to shame.

EDIT: Here's some nice solid ones: http://www.walletgear.com/change-purses-1.html
one on top even has 3 pockets.

Was it a bit trickier to wrap the coils around the wick without it being stiffend from quenching or did you leave the tool inserted until you were finished? I wish I could brave that shortcut. I *know* it's working for others... but.... I'm such a chicken.

Post pictures yet?? I want to see this set up. I bet she's beautfiul.

Even that doesn't make sense to me. If you have wires in parallel, you will get lower resistance. But when you twist the wires, they are not in parallel. It should have the same resistance as the length of a single strand wire.

 

[Striker911]

Maybe I can help or just confuse you more. Making a wire thicker makes it more conductive. If you where ever into car audio you know amps need a certain gauge of power wire for optimization. Resistance is going to be lower due to the ease of flow. Like blowing in a straw vs blowing in a water hose. Blowing air in the hose is easy compared to a straw.

 

[Cloud Wizard]

Even that doesn't make sense to me. If you have wires in parallel, you will get lower resistance. But when you twist the wires, they are not in parallel. It should have the same resistance as the length of a single strand wire.

It does act as a single wire, but with lower resistance (may not be exactly half) because of the larger capacity for electrical flow. It basically creates a fatter wire with lower resistance kinda like converting 2 strands of 34awg (21.28 ohm/ft) into a single strand of 32awg (13.81 ohm/ft). My guess is the altered geometry is what's making it work differently.

Striker beat me to it...

 

[Gomtuu]

Not really a fashion person, don't really mind if it matches my DID or not as long as it works on it ! And no idea of the next PV, tough a provari sounds more and more appealing, but I'm in no rush, spent enough in the last few weeks on ecigs.

I'd love a ProVari, myself. But I (quite happily) spent half my "ProVari budget" on my DID!

I feel you on the no-need-to-match thing. My Bolt is one of those "black crinkle" jobs, and the extension sleeve that allows use of an 18650 doesn't really match the original two parts, and the 510 connection on it is every so slightly raised, so the DID won't sit flush on it... but I love it, nonetheless. I really love the DID photo thread and all the beautiful setups featured there, but right now all I can worry about (money wise) is keeping my existing stuff up and running, and producing clouds of vapor. Which isn't to say that I don't have a secret list of gear to buy "some day."

I like it pretty well, I'd say. I do have some issues with it: It seems to produce more power than the display indicates (must be that pulse width modulation that everyone's barking about); the fire button is slowly turning black (right now it looks like a black and chrome nebula); and with all the electronics up top (where I guess they have to go), it's kinda long as hell. Despite all that, I'm really liking it for my DID, maybe simply because it's the only thing I have right now that will tell me the resistance of whatever's screwed onto it.

Honestly, I have a hard time recommending or not recommending it. Besides my lil' eGo Twists, it's my first variable voltage device, but it's hitting harder at 3 volts than a Twist at 4 volts (yes, even on a 2.5 ohm DID coil), and considering that the Twist uses the same technology as the ProVari to adjust voltage (if I remember correctly)... I don't know, it's something to think about.

I'd say hold out, personally, maybe. I can't remember, do you have any variable voltage devices?

 

[Striker911]

Got my DID all clean and I had no issues otherwise.

I bought the metal drip tip and im really not happy with it. Cleaned it and its still like lipping raw metal. Gross

Great to hear that your DID made it through the bath with no issues.

Time to go glass, Striker? I don't have any glass tips, myself, but I hear they impart no extra flavor. And they look kinda sweet (and occasionally gaudy). I have a few metal drip tips, and I rarely use them because of that metallic taste. I've been sticking with plastic, myself. I used the tip included with the DID for a few days. I wonder how many of us have done that? I recently befriended a glass blower, then converted his smoker girlfriend to vaping, and I've got him considering making glass drip tips. Exciting things on the horizon! Sorry, ramble...
