Both coils had a nice even glow. I’ll double check coil placement tomorrow. It’s beefier than my usual simple contact coil. Maybe I have it too high?

The MTL FL is such a small deck, it could just be that the beefy coil is causing the extra heat.

Height wise, I dunno if that would cause it. But try it lowered a bit to see.

Perhaps the worst pictures ever of a mediocre coil job… but here’s placement.

Maybe the issue is coil diameter. I thought the pack was 2.5s, it’s 3mm. I’ll swap it for a 2.5 tomorrow and see if that’s the dealio

That does look pretty close to the post screws

Yep,same thing in Spain.
Only difference is that it doesn't really matter where it ships from in China,China is China so if it ships from anywhere in China you still paying.

So yeah it's a 21% of the declared value,most articles that i have read about this mention AliExpress...it seems the bulk of online shoppers in Spain use them,never bought anything from them thou.

The only way you are exempt of paying is if they charge you the tax (IVA in Spain) when you aquire the product then yeah the seller does the work of paying the taxes but the prices of said items would go up.

This is not good for reviews,granted i only paid 6 euros and change for the Innokin Coolfire Z80+Zenith II that i won but don't know how much i will have to pay for subsequent products i will be sent for review purposes.

Expecting a Pulse V2+Requiem and a GeekVape Aegis Nano Kit from sourcemore for review purposes and no idea if i will have to pay taxes or not or how much will it be,they did say they would take care of it but who knows.

Once the Chinese or other site registers that they are paying their Vat at source...there's is no problem.

Happy Birthday @Doffy

Moka pot=More flavor because you can actually make espresso (takes some skill) or just really good coffee.
Only downside is you can't make like a huge amount of coffee.

Percolator=You can make a large amount of coffee at once.
And yes i said coffee,can't really call it espresso.

If you chasing flavor i suggest a Moka Pot,if is the closer you can get to an espresso without using a proper Espresso Machine.

Small piece of trivia,if you watched movies of the western genre you probably seen them use percolators when they were camping outside,that is what they used to brew their coffee.

Every Italian kitchen has a Moka pot....and that says it all!!

Sourcemore has definitely started taking the tax at source....if you're still getting a problem I would argue with your postal service ....unless he's a really big guy

Good morning shinies

Have a good one

I've seen worst.

Spoiler: "You will be scarred for life"

Move on...nothing to see here,just one animal performing the heimlich maneuver on another animal.

Sourcemore did say they would solve it so i am hoping they are resolve the tax situation on their end.
About the arguing with the postal service guy well that would be an exercise in futility,once they get the paper that says i gotta pay the taxes not much they can do.
Postal delivery guy would have to pay it from his salary if i didn't pay the taxes and he gave me the package.

Good day, Shinys....

Prepping for the super hot and humid week, which is to say, figuring out what all I can do indoors!!!! May get my coffee on the deck this morning, but figure, that will be the only time I will make it outdoors today.

Covid numbers rising in my area.....I'll say no more.....so I guess this is a good time for the isolation AGAIN....
Despite all that, have a great day....

Hot and a week of rain in the forecast here. It helps that I wake early so I can do some outside stuff before it’s too hot.
