I could never. Everything from dot-top gets auto deleted. So I wouldn't even know if they were sending ads. I was getting piles from that domain. (in more wayz den one)
Yeah that temperature dominant feature is cool but I've also heard that with each new FW update it makes the mod more responsive to the way it figures temp but the 1.2 makes it nice that all the DNA's will be able to use 1 escribe which now the latest for the 75 is not the same as the 200 and a lot of people love it. It is available on the Evolve chit chat under early software. I also heard that when it becomes final Evolve will probably do away with the links for the other ones. I have the link just haven't dl yet. One thing I've noticed with the FW I have for the 75 which is the latest before 1.2 doesn't seem to have a place where you can adjust the room temp if it is reading it wrong in device monitor.
We say anything that falls out of our mouths. It's uncensored! [emoji85] [emoji86] [emoji87] [emoji41]Now I wanna get on one of the hangouts, just to find out what exactly you say.
For the v2's just enough wick to fill the coil, not tightly. Juice it up & trim so it's just touching the deck. Glue the bottom to the base & the block well away from the juice channels. My wicks get make fun of but they work great, no dry hits!@Kenna, tell me again, please, how you wick your KFL+V2. I'm especially interested in the wick tails' proximity to the juice channels. For no apparent reason, my KFL isn't wicking properly: no flooding, but burnt hits, galore. I seem to have lost my knack.

I set my 2.5 coils a couple of mm's above the hole. Enough that I can see daylight under the coil. Too much wick causes issues, #1 Kayfun rule: Less is more.
I use a little more wick in th K5.
I bought these in Oct. 2014 and haved used about 25% of the bag. They're a bit more time consuming to use than Sally's as you have to unroll them. Way back then they were 'talked' about as being 'better' than Sally's so that's what I started with and still using. I can't compare to Sally's as I never used it. $3.50 for the bag and $4 for shipping.
Delasco - Rayon Balls
That still seems to be the consensus, Mike, from over in the rayon wick thread. But I started with Sally's (Graham Cellucotton 100% rayon - there's another Graham that's not, so read the box!), and until I'm done with that 12,000 wick box....

Interestink. Din't know yoo kould get a small box.That still seems to be the consensus, Mike, from over in the rayon wick thread. But I started with Sally's (Graham Cellucotton 100% rayon - there's another Graham that's not, so read the box!), and until I'm done with that 12,000 wick box....

Yep, that's how I used to wick kayfuns, lemos, stminis and others with that type of deck and tiny juice channels. "Less is more" was always the mantra.
Now it's "more is more", within reason and only in the coil. The wicktails get thinned at least 50% in all my attys these days.
When I switched over to more in the coil and less in the tails all my attys performed much better. Waaaay better flavor and zero dryhits.
The theory is that juice "tends' to collect in the greatest cross sectional area of wick. If the wicktails are twice as long as the coil (and not thinned) then after every vape the wicktails tend to pull juice from the coil a little. This leaves the coil drier than the tails and also dirties up the juice in your tank. Not really what we want. So I thin the tails to reduce the cross sectional area of the wicktails. It works great with cotton and is pretty much mandatory with rayon.
Wicking heavier in the coil not only puts more wicking in the coil but also helps to offset irregularities of the coil wraps when the cotton expands.
Just saying it works for myself and others. I know everyone has their own way.
I would venture to say that most of us will never use the wicking material or Wire that we've purchased over the years. And after the massive Stocking up that many have done in recent months I would bet on it. And I'm surely not a betting man.That still seems to be the consensus, Mike, from over in the rayon wick thread.

If we were in touch physically I sure would
Because I want to make sure I can collect. Unless you're like me and didn't buy up have of a room worth. I have a Box of Rayon, a couple of packs of that Bacon stuff, pack of KJD, and probably a football filed worth of Wire. That if I never quit Vaping which I will would last me a lifetime. I figure a Coil takes less than 12" ( a Roll is 100'); a pinch of wicking. I mean really! How much does one person need?? And I surely realize that in America More is always better, BUT! Or it may just be me, but I do things in moderation and not in excess. But then that is my life. Each to their own for sure.But yeah given reality and not virtual life; I would bet.
And I have to retract part of that S_X was something I sure did in excess And still do anytime I can

Yep I've got about 200' of nickel which I will never use. Don't like it. A lot of Kanthal which I will have to be desperate to use. When I say desperate I'll be down to the mods that have to have 1 ohm. I'm pretty stuck on SS but I do want to try Ti in my DNA. It may already be in my DNA I have a Ti rod in my leg.
