I strongly suspect that the package is not properly addressed, resulting in a snafu every time it goes through an automated sorting process. I hope that when you finally get it, you'll take a picture of the address label before you open it so that we can try to figure out what went wrong.
Yeah I will. I asked him about the address and in Germany they use DHL to get it to Frankfurt and they only allow one way of putting it and it will look like this, I'm sure

Lost internet for a moment. It usually gets decifered after some one human looks at it. Machines get all messed up. The machines usually use the street name as the city the house number as the zip and the zip as the house number and city as the street name.

Actually it takes 2 humans to look because it will, after the first one figures it out and sends it to the mail center in Spokane then a human there looking at it and getting it to the local PO if the machines look in Spokane it gets sent to the nearest zip code of 16377 and try to fine a city callled North Greenfield Court.

@bigbells I forgot to tell you but you probably figured it out, You need to set display in the menu to auto so it will change the screen so that it is always the right way to view it but you don't need the sensor on for that. That sensor was one of the dumbest ideas I think they had, it makes it so instead of using the up and down buttons you lean it one way of the other to change settings and it moves so fast it's hard to get it set where you want it. First thing I turn off.

Also Dave they work best if you set the Joules to the lowest you can for it to just hit temp in 1 sec. I use 20J for SS. All you need to hit temp unless you are using dual or quad coils. You get much less rattlesnaking that way. In fact you can't really notice it. Busardo always tried to set it to the top which I think on that one is 160J and it does temp ok but more rattlesnake. You can use mode ECO, or if you want preheat Powerful or Powerful+. ECO is basically the Standard setting but the screen shuts off faster after firing.
A lot of FP stuff here Sorry.

No US state in the address? And I didn't know there was an S at the end of your last name, but that wouldn't have any effect on delivery.

With that improper addressing I'll be surprised if the package is ever delivered. It's my opinion that the sender is trying to pass blame to DHL for a problem that is solely the fault of the sender. I'm reasonably sure that the only thing that matters to DHL is that the last line says USA.

120 joules is the highest on my 450J chip, and sooner or later I was going to ask you what joules setting you used, so thank you! What temperature do you use, if you remember? I've got one of the presets all ready for my SS 304 coil, as soon as I build it. Not knowing what temperature to use, I've got it at 340 F for the time being.

That's great! Once she starts eating a little her appetite will come back a bit more everyday. How is she feeling? Hope you are getting enough rest!

IIRC, powerful, powerful+ and soft do not do anything while in TC mode.

True, on the Q-class you want to keep the wattage as low as possible but still reach set temp reasonably fast. Too high of a power setting will not usually rattlesnake (buzz) like older chipsets but the vapor temp will pulse (up, down, up, down etc) as the mod fights to steady the temp. This phenomenon is worse with lower tcr wire like SS but virtually nonexistent with Ni, Ti or Nife52.
I typically set my wattage about 25% higher than needed to reach temp for any atty when using the SX450 chipsets, seems to work out pretty close as a starting point.

It's always made it eventually. Our mailman looked at it and said what was the problem.
Thats the way they do it in Germany but it seems I need to keep an eye on it and if it land someplace else get hold of the PO and they will do their best to get it addressed right. I don't know why they don't put the state but if you look at their website if you ar a registered customer that''s the way the address look. But it takes a human looking at is to see the zip code. Any PO employee who is at all familiar with German mail will know.
