Dawwwww... that's probably a good thing, though... the world couldn't handle two of me... I break things too often. 
Sorry for the OT.
I finally got around to putting a BF screw in my Stumpy. I really should have done that first and not bothered converting the others... I now need more Stumpy's and more squnokers!!!
If you find a place to get more Stumpys, lemme know! Love that atty, but I only have two of them.
Other than the Stumpy, my favorite atty for BF is the Nipple rda. I bought a clone on FT and modified it myself. Drilled out the bottom of the 510 pin, then cross drilled it for better flow and drainage... AWESOME flavor with a dual coil build and thinned out rayon wicks! That domed top cap just rocks... might want to open up the airflow, though... stock was really tight to me.
Just got my hands on a fishbone plus! I know, I know, old news... but I got it on clearance. Anyone have one?

Yup, glass cap, glass chimney, ceramic in the base. I still have yet to build on it tho.

Alrighty then...
Still trying to find a good build for this fishbone, but I'm getting close. Right now .6 ohms with dual 26ga kanthal, got it wicked right with rayon, and it's actually a pretty tasty dripper. I did chip off a ceramic nub(might just remove it all together), but it's still producing.

Do you get a hot spot where the pliers mangled the coil a bit?
Looks like a good build, very symmetrical.
Anyone successfully use Rayon in Griffin 25? I want to try again. My first wicking of it was with rayon and I sadly watched my joose flow out of the bottom. I've been successful with cotton twice on it but I find it to be a PITA to wick and cotton gets a little weird after about 3 tanks full. Thanks for any advice in advance.
Curious on this myself as I have a Griff 25 in my stash I haven't tried building yet because of all the issues I had with the original Griff when switching to rayon.
Original? Griffin 22? set up like the 25 with the weird little ring that you put on after wicking? I hate that freaking thing.
But I love the flavor and dense clouds of the Griffin. I just love it period. But I want to be able to wick it with rayon.
assuming the 25 is just like the 22,,my griffin is my adv.......
once the wick is in the coil i use a needle and 'comb/brush' the tails straight outward. trim at 45* angle down trying to take only 30-50% off,,,,,,then i 'fold' the wick tails down to well past the ring thing. and level them off. next i take tweezer/needle and tuck the tails behind the wick. i touch up comb the tails once in place from below the ring... the goal is to straighten the tails and sort of 'fan them out across the juice slot. (across the juice slot is a major thing,,, it allows juice to flow up, but not flow past creating leaks) just to make sure juice can flow i put the needle behind the ring.. if it dont fit, then the juice wont either. at the very end i go back and tiny trim any hairs that got long during the 2nd combing.) because i have been doing this same routine for awhile my wicking takes maybe 3 to 5 minutes every Sunday.
ps,, test fire the (very) JUICED wick,, a good 3 or 4 times avoids rayon break in taste.
Thanks. Helpful but will probably take me longer than 3 to 5 mins
Also, I like how you call it "the ring thing" I've called it so much worse.
You didn't say anything about trimming the tails. I assume you leave the tails full and not thinned out?
first few times of getting it right i think it took 20-30 minutes......now i barely think about it.Thanks. Helpful but will probably take me longer than 3 to 5 mins

also,, when you adjust the juice holes get into the habit of always turning the tank clockwise,, it helps to keep the ring in place and not 'backing off'.. this also helps to keep the rayon in place....that alone i think cut my leaks in 1/2.
i dont think this site lets me use the names i have called some of my vape gear

I would seriously lose it if I backed the ring off after having it take me so long to get it screwed down. Thanks for adding that note. I never thought of that.
