@Kat
Got an Evod in today and my initial impression is very good.
- good flavor & vapor
- easy to fill
- really like the size and the mouthpiece
- draw is to my liking (not too airy, not too tight)
- purple matches my purple Spinner perfectly
Sure hope it doesn't have any gremlins in it.
Got it on your recommendation....so thank you!!!

I'm so proud of you.
I am so glad that you got that darn thing working!
Wow, you have all been busy today
@Fran - so nice to hear that you won the battle over the Zap. I sure hope it keeps on working for you. I read about you sitting outside yesterday and contemplating its demise, I am happy it survived.
@Gloria - wow you are really getting into the re-building. First a new coil and now re-wicking T3's. I guess sometimes you just have to jump in Something else to add to my things to try - I have a T3 that the coil was still working - but all the wick sort of fell out when I was giving it a wash. Just one more thing in that box of stuff to deal with 
Good news on the Evod, I hope you keep liking it and no gremlins.
@Uncle Willie - looks like you are making a good DIY start. I have dabbled a bit, I did a peaches & cream and an RY4 that both were ok. Not sure I am real happy with either, although I did add some of the peppermint mix that I am still liking to the remainder of the peaches & cream I had in my Evod and that was actually not bad.
I am going to work on using up some of the pre-bought juice I have before I try too many more - at least that is how I am feeling this week.
@Flower - I am with you on the peppermint. Not sure if it is just one of the easier ones to do - but for now it is the one I am liking the most of those I have tried.
@ all the others - lots of good DIY tips today. I am taking notes and I thank UW for starting the discussion. As always, lots of great help.
No dirt storms here - although we do get some awful ones. Instead we had a nasty snow storm blow through yesterday. At one point I could not see out of any of my windows - regardless of what direction they faced. Got so bad that they actually closed most/all highways in southern Alberta for several hours. This was after us being warmer on Saturday than Ocala Florida - my SIL was complaining because this is where she was for a wedding. Of course I just love it when we are warmer than she is in Florida at this time of year......

This is the needle threader my mother used. You can still get them and I'm pretty sure I've got 1 or 2 around here somewhere.
@Uncle Willie:
Too lazy to go back and check to see if someone already posted this but . . . label your juice and keep good records.
I mixed one when first starting that was really good and then couldn't duplicate it.

COOL!
First thing I noticed when I first started to use the ZAP was that the flavor was really intensified.
Everything must be correct, wick must be wicking and all coils firing with no shorts at the base (which is easy to do just ask me!)
The first re-coil make sure that the wick is not being pulled over to the bottom post (bottom coil) or it will wick very slow and the taste will be weird. This was the most important thing I found that was wrong once its wicking properly you do not have to tilt it at a very extreme angle if you do taste will suffer. Also keep playing with the position of the airhole this can also make a huge difference in taste and throat hit.
I am glad you got yours working and I hope that this might help in a small way!

Oh just wanted to add this,
I have done a 1.7, 2.2 & 2.6 OHM coil and I am happy with 1.7 at 3.7 volts very nice clean vape and great taste. At the higher OHM & voltage the taste suffers a tiny bit IMO but loads of vapor so its a small trade off.

Hey Semi...if you're like me and can't find the one that SHOULD be in your sewing kit...some thin fishing line is a great substitute if you don't have any thin wire laying around. Of course a thread of the cheesecloth can be used too...but it's so wimpy, it makes threading the coil a little frustrating...at least for me it did.
Please let us know if you rewick the T3 and what you think of it.

Oops, that scream you will hear in a few hours will be the husband, when he finds out I placed yet another order, after telling him I was 'done for now'....What...I"m almost out of menthol, and SmokTek was having a sale on it. Of course I had to make it worth my while besides the big bottle! Got a knucklehead drip tip in purple and the ego/501 adapter I've been eyeing.
Congrats DevoI'll meet you at Fran's and maybe we can figure out where her flavors gone?
Man its a whole lot easier to rebuild than a Oddy clone for sure but once its set up right its a freight train!
@Gloria - wow you are really getting into the re-building. First a new coil and now re-wicking T3's. I guess sometimes you just have to jump in
Look on the bright side Kari...you didn't have to waste any time removing the old wick. Heh.
Cheesecloth will be included.
Yay!!! I got vapemail 
My Sigelei zmax is here and wonderful!! For anyone considering these who also happens to be a Kanger fan.....they added the outside ego threads to the fitting......I put an MT3 on it to check and........yeppers!!! you can slap those Kangers on here and vape without using an adapter
