Thanks for the post Qorax!

I always wondered how you got the engraving on everything?

 

[tchavei]

JeremyR and friends: 192ml and counting. Prepare the cake and candles because at this rate, Saturday it will be 200ml

I think I'll make a video opening the atty the day I decide to rewick it...

I just won't buy anything unless the modder agrees to engrave my name on it

My Freedom Smokes did a TBT on facebook for a 2011 video on how to fill cartos with a syringe. So much change in such a short time. I started in 2009 with fluval and blue foam and quit when cartos first came out. Back at the end of 2013 and still here.

I will begin the preperations Tony.

I'm really glad to hear it.

They just keep going and going.. Mine at 120ml is just as good as 20ml, I think I will break 200 with this since I got the istick50w because the lock feature is much easier to use and it doesn't auto fire as easily as the zmax.

What's even better is I found out about it because of you, and it is better then any other rayon I've used. I even get a better nights sleep with the melatonin. I thought the Sally's would be a better deal but it turns out for a few bucks I get the better rayon and three months of a better nights sleep so even though it cost more per inch of rayon it's still better then the better deal, you think I would have known better.

Or as a guy I worked with use to say, "much more gooder."

But seriously, that melatonin really does help me get a good night sleep, the only reason I tried it was because I didn't want to just throw it away. Yeah it was less then a couple of bucks and the rayon alone was worth the price but I too am cheap. I even saved all the empty bottles, I'll use them for some thing one day.

BTW, WalMart doesn't carry the 1 mg pills anymore and it's no longer listed on their website, they have the higher mg but I don't think they put any rayon or cotton in those bottles. Must be we bought we pushed the sales too high, Spring Valley can't find rayon to pack in the 1 mg bottles and we ruined a good thing.

hmmm? I just bought some 1mg a few days ago from Walmart (B&M). The bottle has a 'new' label and no rayon stuffing.

Honestly I would have preferred only reaching 100ml and get my package but since it's STILL stuck in Lisbon, the numbers just keep adding... I wonder if those guys at the post hub are following this thread and making bets on how much torture I can withstand lol.

It still vapes perfectly fine although in the last few days the draw is a little more wet. The fibers are probably compacting slowly which allows more liquid to be drawn inside the chamber.

Thought I'd throw this out there for folks rebuilding pro tank, T3S clearo type heads. I modified my spaced coils, I was using five spaced wraps of 32. I picked up some 31 ga to make this new coil, I start by warping two tight touching coils, then warp two spaced coils in the center ending with two more tight touching coils on the other end. I use a needle that fits tight in the slot of the base of the coil assembly, the length of the coil is just short of touching the insides of the base, this gives me a 2.0 ohm coil.

When dry fire, the center coils quickly glow then the glow spreads out to the inside wrap of the touching coils, the very end coil/leg barely glows. It's a little bit slower spread of heat from the center out then you see on a space coil which I think has something to do with why they last longer. I "think" it helps pull juice to the center of the wick and coil but that's just a theory that could be totally wrong, what ever is going on these last longer, for me anyways. The main reason I tried this coil because I wanted to try having a full circle of wire around the rayon on each end of the coil like a micro coil but I don't like micro coils, spaced coils have worked better for me, this is a hybrid of both. I'd love to see other try this and post your feedback, or if you have tried it before please chime in.

I always wanted to try rebuilding a Kanger head, what is the ID of the coil?
The smallest gauge wire I have is 30, I don't have a problem with a lower than 2 ohm coil.

I use a needle that fits tight in the slots, your going to make me go measure it aren't you LoL. OK, I'll be back in a bit.

 

[SlickWilly]

OK the size of the needle I use is .074 or 1.88mm <-- that would be the ID of the coil.

(I knew that would come up and I was trying to be lazy, my bad)

 

[TrollDragon]

Thanks!
I'll give it a try this weekend and see how it goes.

If you search my posts on this thread, some months ago I posted pics of how I was rebuilding these heads with the full spaced coils. Give it a try, save some coin and don't worry about running out of them anymore!

I will indeed do that for sure!

That sounds very similar to the Flavor Split coil I tried quite awhile back on my Evods (that version had a "U" in the center though). Didn't last as long for me, but glad it's working better for you.

I just want to see the "Grand Opening" of Tony's topper - I am sure a discretionary warning should be included in the video. You know "Some viewers may find this offensive".
