My new one has a floating pin. 1st Hana for me. Is that not the norm for these? Mine connects to everything I've thrown at it so far.

My Hana 40 pin "floats" down but not back up. I have to coax it back up if I put an atty that doesn't touch
Why not just pour a sample into a test tube, stick a thermometer or thermocouple in it, and heat it gently with a bunsen (or alcohol) burner? Probably more accurate, definitely a lot cheaper.
Now that you mention it, that might be an interesting little experiment that could return some useful real world results quickly and cheaply. Hmmm...

See, that kind of crap is something you should not have to deal with at $250-$300. I never talk bad about a company but from own experience and the horror stories I keep reading Hana sucks and that is of course only my own opinion.
Yes but, be careful with VG and an open flame, it does have a flash point.
Thanks, yes, 320 to 350°F, to be exact. A(nother) good reason to do it under a hood (or outside).
Anyone want to make bottle rockets with me?
(It's late, I'm getting punch drunk. (That's my story and I'm sticking with it.))

Ooooo that was interesting. It's actually pretty stable up to a high temp, especially for a bone dry wick

Pete .. it actually makes connection. I never get a "check atomizer" message when I press the button. I really think it's that my coil resistance jumps around so much that the baord thinks I've screwed something new on.
Hana hater
edit: I think I fixed my issue. I think I might've removed and replaced my atty while it was still warm. I just let it set off of my Hana for a while. Put it back on a little bit ago chain vaping the crap out of it and it's not doing it now.

I thought perhaps it might be making a good enough connection not to say "check atomizer" but not good enough to show a stable resistance. If it's back to working, great!Pete .. it actually makes connection. I never get a "check atomizer" message when I press the button.

Has anyone else noticed some coil sag after use with nickel so far besides me? Some of mine are almost beyond the point of repair, after 4-5 days or so...maybe 20-30ml of juice.
I know I've seen some mention of it other places but just wondering what you all have noticed.
Biggest factor in my limited experience seems to be longer legs = more sag, makes me wonder just how much hotter the legs are getting than the coil.

Here is the reddit thread with the picture:

The bottom row is japanese cotton burned for like 5-6 seconds. The second 600°F on the bottom left is fired longer.
He used dual coil, and one coil was clearly hotter than the other. I am pretty sure that the hottest coil was hotter than what it was set to.
If you want an accurate reading, your coils must be 100% identical or go with single coil.

Yeah. Have you seen the video? Not 100% professional science
I think though the problem of non identical coils will be slightly less of a problem for nickel because if one coil gets hotter it increases in resistance and will equalize. A bit at least.

I've got a problem, need y'alls help.
The 40 is throwing out so much vapor it is condensing on my mod and obscuring the viewscreen.

I'm constantly having to wipe it off with a Kleenex.

YMMV

Yeah, I saw the video. It could have been the cotton that was tucked in harder in one coil, but it was the same with both regular cotton and KGD.
It's a good point that the resistance increases in the one that gets hotter, but still it's the average temperature that gets read. It's not a problem for me, since I mostly use single coils, but I imagine this can be a problem for other people.
I'd like to see the same test done with one coil.
Finally getting solid touching builds on contact coils...THANK GOD!!! Trick for me has been a slight burn at 600F to make sure it is heating well, then a VERY gentle threading of the cotton to keep from deforming. Took me a few days to get it right with 28awg ni200 so don't give up. When it's right, this thing is friggin perfect
I think 600F is the melting point for nickel so I am not sure if that's pushing it a bit but as always don't listen to me I am an idiot with technical stuff.
