braiding!?! by hand or what?
As the person who asked him because I had a reaction similar to yours, yes hand braided. Says that its even better at vapor and flavor than twisted because of the naturally occurring gaps created by the hand braiding. Do a thread search by poster and you should find his complete explanation to my question.

Pretty standard but i took some time to prebend the coils to be where I wanted them.

24G @ 0.33ohms
7 wraps 2.5mm id

Turned out rather nice. Vapor is full of flavor and thick. I wish my cell cam would pick up test fires :/

Very neat indeed :toast:

My question is this: Why would you cut that lip off your Tobh and move the coil in the center? You don't want adjustable Airflow?

I don't use the air control on this one. I find its perfect wide open. I left the tabs on my authentic tobh.

have been thinking about taking the tabs off my BIG Tobh...

no use at all, not when that thing is running at less than 0.1ohm exclusively
My thoughts exactly. I have been running around 0.3 to 0.7 on this one so I just got rid of the tabs I will probably open the airholes a tad but will try and keep the three or slot it. I like how the air gets spread across the coil. I keep my authentic stock. Way too expensive to cut. That's usually running a 1.1 dual 32g micro for my provari.

In all I love the tobh. Its really not meant subohm which is why I'm thinking about getting a tugboat next.

Anyone have experience with the tugboat?

Nice find.

"Repair" kit is somewhat misleading; once something is stripped, it's stripped, done, time for the trash.

I'm not too sure what the M1.6 - M3 taps are for anyways, I'm assuming ground screws (?). Butttt, I can see where if people do order Atty clones they might need all of those guys plus possibly more because their threads were not cut properly in the first place.

I do own a M7 x .5 (extra fine) adjustable die, it was made in the USA thank you very much. I've used it on a MMV DID atty, the V1 AC9 and a friends Trident and V1 In'ax. A word of caution though, especially w/o a die stock it can be very easy to cross thread a 510, permanently ruining it. Go slow and take small cuts. This will only work for oversized male (atty) threads, and the respective tap for undersized female (mod) threads.

You've got almost everything right.

Except:

When M1.6 - 0.35 is stripped - you can re-thread it to M2.0-0.4 (replacing the screws of course)
When M2.0 - 0.40 is stripped - use M2.5 - 0.45 and so on...

Example:
This Fast Tech Helios had really bad M2.0 threads from the get go. I made them M2.5 and it became a usable dripper.

All my Tap & Dies are made by Drillco in Louisiana.

Edit: When you break M1.6 screw, you could drill 1.1mm right into it and re-thread it to the original M1.6

That makes sense, I've just never stripped a thread on any of my gear.

But I also buy authentic.
