I guess I'm lucky.

My mom has been an ER, ICU, and Hospice nurse for 50 years. She gave me a set of these:

I can get into the most tiny gaps with them, make very precise cuts, and they are unbelievably sharp.

Yeah, yeah DC signal.. Lol

So out of all the different rayon types I sent you; which rayon are you using right now, and what did you think of the DM balls?
I'm using KU currently.

DM is excellent, as is the other balled rayon. I think I have tried it all now and I don't really have a preference for any one, Sally's is still easiest to work with.

Have you tried these? Damn good price for 4000 medical grade balls.

Must remember, don't mention p**vari.. That arguments been beaten to a dead horse..
New rule, no pro debates.. If you like it or have one, no problem.
:pop:

Now happy Thursday everyone.. Those in the heat index watch your temp. Possibly 115° heat index near Chicago now that's just wack.

Winter was down to -50° now summer up to 115°... wth.
:tumble:

Oh and don't mention global warming.. That's a lie propping up regulators, bureaucrats, and a global tax.

Well as a gun totin', womanizin', global warming denyin', politically incorrect, multiphobic misanthrope all I can say is the Limitless Plus came in and other than the silly paisley design it's working great. Just as easy to build on as the original. Dual 10 wrap 304 came out to .25 ohms. Wicked it up with Sally's, mounted it on my Cuboid at 60 watts set to 440 degrees F (after break-in) and it's all good! It hangs over just slightly, but not enough to bother me.

Update: Turned it up to 70 watts and 480 degrees F and it's even better. I'm experimenting with custom TCR (in the 0095-0105 range so far), but I'm not through getting it dialed in yet. I can make it better still.

Update #2: I settled on 0098 for TCR and dialed it back down to 60 watts and 440 F. This seems to work equally well on both the Cuboid and the RX200 using the 304. Plenty of flavor and clouds and I can vape it dry without scorching my wick.

BTW, since I got these Limitless RDTAs, I've only been refilling my Bachelor once every other day. It's still going strong though. Not that I doubt Jeremy's dingle balls=cotton theory, but I couldn't find any corroborating information. So I submitted an inquiry to Nature Made and should have a definitive answer in a day or two. I've got to have 400ml or so on this wick by now and the flavor is still great, so, if it turns out that it is unequivocally cotton, I would encourage all those devoted cotton users who can't abide rayon to give it a try. Best cotton EVAR!

Well it's Fresh Friday.. Put new builds in both my Fev and the Bachelor. Went triple twisted 32g* kanthal, and the double insertion method for the bachelor.





This 10 wrap 2.5mm coil clocks in at 1.9 ohms on the evic. Reads 1.7 on the istick 50w and I'm starting it out at 8.2v or 40w. Will be cranking it up.. The 50 will top out with this build at 9.2v and 50w. I did dry fire the coil at 9v, boy she glows.

(Note the coil took a lot of heat work to get it to hold form)

Did you twist by hand or with a drill? Also did you cut the tails flush to the deck/juice slot?

I thought these would be really nice: Gingher Knife Edge Thread Nippers

I've used these, and really liked them. Unfortunately, I had to give them back to their owner. :(
