That's awesome!!! I will share something else I've already learned...sweetened juices WILL wreck these just as quickly as it does the others. I was using some "premium" juice initially (with sweetener) and the ceramic was blackened within a week. Bo ran our DIY (no sweetener) and his was and is still nice and white! Lesson learned quickly...sweetened juices on dripper only! I'm on my second coil bc of my error. Bo still on his first.

Good night all.

I have never used or liked sweeteners. That may be part of the reason that I am getting such great results. Good info to have though.

There are several people that I know using these and love them as much as we do.

Funny thing is that I saw the Target tank/ coils back in November when they first came out. I was So tempted to try one but didn't. I showed them to two friends though. One of those friends has been using and loving these ever since. I totally forgot about them until tanks like the Dolphin, etc started being released.

Hey Tracy, wondering if you tried the self cleaning trick with these by dry burning the gunked up coil? Was it just too far gone to burn it all off? I have had great results with the dry burn cleaning as well. The few times I have done it, the coil was so much like new that I actually had to treat it as a new coil by starting low wattage, etc. Just curious if you tried cleaning it.

Well I got about 1/2 of the stuff done I'd planned for the day.....Since it was Friday I didn't bother calling the insurance.....Threw out a good price{for me and the customer} on the Chevy truck....the dude jumped all over it....started adding sheet....I'm like Whoa Now!!! 8 Benjamins became 12 real quick....Got that job when I get ready....Good thing....$106 to ship the wheels back too Ohio....I'm hoping to Hell they still ship free back to me....That one time I didn't triple review my order cost my azz big time....Hell it's just money....light that sheet on FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping those Crown ceramics are a go....I got three full Crowns sitting here.....

When I prime a coil I ain't shy about it....Flood that bass turd and let it sit on a doubled paper towel for a minute while you wash you tank err sumthin....I also keep a can of air handy for blowin out the air chambers an sheet...Your tip of the day....

Had this girlfriend when I was 15 and some of my 16th year.....Down at the beach a couple years back I bump into her in the grocery....Yeah she lays the heavy story about wishin what might have been....Truth is I had a damn lot of living in front of me....I've been addicted to numerous things....I caught the sheet....I also became as a close friend said....a living legend....word from a friend last week is her husband died....Truth is I've always held a spot for her and there's always that thing about her being an eye doctor....Like I said above it's just money....I got murdersickles to ride and dang dogs that need rubbin....I ain't about to try and fit where I don't belong...I do wish I still had the car I had then....70 Mach 1 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland 4-speed...Ford Racing Blue on top of that...I washed new Fords for a living....Hell I still wash cars when I'm through repairing them....Thinking my liver quiver may have been food related....Jumbo chicken strips and double baked beans with bbq sauce every where possible...I feel fine today....except for that $106 shipping fine that is....Felt like 908's sweet juiced coil after that...

 

[El Dee]

Hell I'm writing books and ya'll posting like 10 more times....Not sure I'd dry burn anything after what I read about not doing that....I've dry burned a sheet load of coils and can verify they're never the same afterwards...I'd have to have a look at the coil but right off I'm thinking an alcohol soak and maybe a little scrub action from a pipe cleaner....Alcohol leaves no residue and I've got a couple gallons of 99% ISO in the shop....

LD, they call these ceramics self cleaning. The instructions are to dry burn them clean. Several of us doing it with good results. Think self cleaning oven

This is for the Dolphin and the one that I could find quickly. Same instructions are out there for the cCells though.

Dry heating clean up black carbide on ceramic

Dry Heating Cleaning
1、Take out the old cotton, u will see black carbide on the ceramic body;
2、Set the power below 30 watts and turn on the battery,dry heating for 10s-20s,the ceramic will be cleaned up.

Oh, I get what you are talking about now. Nope, I am not worried. People been breathing this stuff in for ages with no issues that I know about.

I tried it, but maybe not long enough!?
I thought about an alcohol soak as well but just pitched it in the trash. ( it looked terrible with all of that burned sweetener )

Lol @ ElDee for feeling like my sweet juiced coil after paying that returned shipping fee. Ouch! Sorry bud. (Made me laugh at your choice of words though!)

 

[Bovinia]

Morning folks

Made me lol too!!

Dee, don't you ever think there's anyplace you don't belong! I know the feeling you're talking about, but it's a limitation our own minds put on us. That said...rekindling the old teenage flame thing rarely works out the way people hope. It's ignited by two people who have changed and grown so much over the years.

Nice snag on the truck job!

I hear you, Tracy. If it looked that bad, I would have tossed it too.

Wharf, I saw that likey If you try them, please let us know.

IDK, Bov. I think that personalities are pretty much set by the time a person is a teenager. Odd story but I actually had a person "find' me that I went to school with in OH a few years back. I had not seen this girl since we were both 14 years old. She may have matured but, she was the same person she was back then. Plus, I have known folks that have lost touch after a teenage fling, reunited later in life and lived happily ever after. You just never really know.

There was my words of wisdom for the day. Hope that you all have a good one.

 

[Bovinia]

True enough, Salem. I suppose I was going off my own experience, and I know I am far different than I was in my teen and even 20's years. You never know what can grow from an old friend or even a new one, given time to explore each others' core beliefs

Well I was 16 then....by 19 i was addicted to smack and was a soldier in Escobar's Army....at 21 I got free room and board at the big house.....@50 I learned I had HepC.......Now at 56 all the guys I admired as a kid....the ones I aspired to be like are dead and gone right along with many close associates from this life.....I'd say at 16 the foundations of personality may be in place but you still got a house to build on top of that....Now my house has burned too the fekking ground numerous times....every time I rebuilt it just a little stronger than the last time....Once I would adapt to a situation and fit in....once.....I find the hoity toity just a tad bit FAKE!!!!!! So no....I don't belong there at all.....Not because many perceive me as less than I am....I know who they are....they matter not.....I just ain't got will nor time for that sheet.....

Morning folks

Dee you certainly are not less than anyone, I glad that you know that.

Looks like some of you guys may be a bit chilly up there? Actually, it got a tad chilly and windy here today. Wish like heck it would rain though. The pollen is still a foot thick on everything in sight.

Hoping everyone is enjoying their Sunday

 

[Bovinia]

We've been put back into the 3-5" snow forecast for tonight. Not worried tho, it'll be almost 50* Monday. I think this is the first time I've seen a winter weather advisory issued at the same time as a high pollen advisory.

Got my 4 laps around the hood walked. Had to push myself to do it, the changing weather has my back and hips hurting. 20lbs gone is keeping me motivated tho

Glad your wife likes them too, Oly. Still love my cCells and Melo2 but have moved on to a Cuboid since last we talked. Very small and compact for a dual battery mod. I like it a lot.
