My current setup on my DID standard is really blowing me away.
I've been following this thread for a couple of months since I first started obsessing about owning a quality genesis, I would hear tales of "intense flavor", "got to cut down on the nicotine in my mixes the DID is making me nauseous, but in a good way LOL", "This DID producing overwhelming plumes of vapor" etc. etc. These are not exact quotes, but you get the picture.
Then my first DID std arrived, and the fun and games began. I have worked as a mechanic, television engineer and am always "fixing things", I thought "this will be a snap"!
Um... well no. don't get me wrong I could get a working setup going with no obvious shorts/hotspots etc, but I spent many hours and sleepless nights fiddling, recoiling making new wicks etc, in search of the fore mentioned genesis nirvana.
I researched on youtube, read every post that I could on ECF, aussievapers, vaporwall and anywhere else they were talking about ss wicks and genesis
coils. again, I state I was enjoying my DID experience and had a good vape going, but I am a perfectionist to a fault and this fiddling had become an obsession the likes of which I haven't known for a long while.
Over the last month my oxidation process and coiling methods have developed through countless helpful posts of advice mainly from here, but also from the #500 mesh thread, a well visited DIDers hangout.
every setup has been that little bit better, more thought out and easier, but today the Ah ha moment well and truly occurred.
I now have "intense flavor",and I think I've "got to cut down on the nicotine in my mixes the DID is making me nauseous, but in a good way LOL" and "This DID producing overwhelming plumes of vapor".
Was it worth all the hours, lost sleep, meters of kanthal, litres of Vg use in testing new
coils etc .etc./
Hell YES,
Would I do it all over again knowing what I know now?
Definitely
What was my end result after all my effort?
Truly the best flavor & vaping experience ever.
Big thanks to ALL those who listened to my struggles and tirelessly posted new and innovative methods and troubleshooting advice.
I now have 2 DID stds, and another on the way, and a DID mini, these will last me forever, and cost me less
money than I spent on smokes per month.
Thanks also to Jim for amongst other things the best customer service I've seen from any manufacturer or vendor.
