Mine is together and vaping. Had it built and working the first try.

How is yours doing? You likey?
All i can say is no complaints here mine is cherry Super smooth nice plumes on my ego-t and ripping at 3.7 on my glv.....Thanks once again Dan..... Btw if you can not get o-rings the nipple tip that comes with the ce2's fits snug.....
Could somebody please email me some super glue? Guess I'm finishing mine tomorrow.
I got mine up and running, and in the process of making the coil heat evenly I discovered a potential cause of the harshness some people are experiencing...
It is of VITAL importance that your mesh wick is ABSOLUTELY not shorted to ground. The slightest touch to the center post in the juice tank, or the bottom of the juice tank will prevent success. When the wick is shorted to ground, the slightest touch of the coil to the wick causes the current to flow to ground through the mesh instead of through the ground post. That coil becomes downright manageable once the wick isn't grounded. It took me about two hours to realize why I was having trouble getting all the wraps to glow, but once I noticed it was shorted in the tank to the center post, I corrected it and wow!
It's vaping up a storm, and it hits like three Mac trucks and a mule!
If you are experiencing trouble getting the coil dialed in, or harsh hits with lackluster vapor, check for this short before waisting a lot if time poking the coil with a toothpick!
By the way, thanks for doing this Dan, I really enjoyed putting this together!

Here is a preliminary picture of mine. I need to replace the top O-ring(got a little mean with it) and I need to blow it out. Then I just need the SS mesh to make the magic happen... Also I think I can shorten the top section up a bit, but I want to wait till I have the mesh in it to judge.
It holds ~2.5mL, which is perfect for me.

Starting to get the smoother more vapor hits now.
32 Kanthal, 3 wraps. 1.8 Ohms on my Ego.
Cleanest, smoothes hit I ever had off of an e-cig.
Not harsh at all, clean taste, good vapor.

OK something isn't right for me, I've got the 7/8 OD, 3/4ID polycarb tube and the #016 o rings but the polycarb will NOT fit at all. I can't get it on all the way, I got it on part of the way but now it's stuck and will not budge. I'm going to have to dremel it off. I tried lubricating the tube and cramming it on but now my hands are raw and blistered and I have a piece of polycarb stuck on my mod that I can't get off.
Yup.. Happened to me twice. Make sure that the bevel on the tube is nice and smooth and a good clean angle, and make sure both the tube and O-rings are lubed with joose.
I did that, it's still stuck and I can't get it the rest of the way on or get it back off now.
When you get what you need back out, make your lip on both ends then grab some three hundred grit sandpaper and sand up the inside of the tubes a tad, the tube might be a bit out of spec. A fine grade sand will be good to remove excess thickness and still keep it clear, even if you tried two forty grit then a finer grade to polish it up, say three sixty grit wet and dry.

It turns out my CE2 connectors ARE just a skosh too loose. The solder shim method does not seem to be working for me, I cant get the solder to stick to the knurled part of the CE2 connector. I'm gonna take a break and try again in a bit.
No more harsh, yours is providing a quality vape now I hope?
Using a dead 510 atty connector, there were a couple that work. Some with a little bit of solder some with pressing.
Are you using soldering flux? Flux helps a lot, cleans the surface of impurities
Also, are you heating the actual connector itself or just the wire/solder?
