Daniel, I was thinking you tried the Lindwurm? I got one for review and built it with an included coil and the 2.1 airflow insert. I have to turn it up pretty high to heat the coil but the flavor just isn’t there. I think I’m going to have to switch to a larger airflow pin. I thought people raved about the flavor on this. I guess I need to play around with it more.

I have given my Lindwurm a good vape Mate
Mine has the 2.5mm a/f insert in there, the more air coming out from under the coil the better I think! Then adjust your external a/f accordingly.
I was getting pretty good flavour from this, definitely not Brunhilde flavour though so it's not in regular rotation.
It's worth playing around with a bit more. You'll get the Worm tasting nice

Thanks. I’m going to have to pull the coil and put in the larger airflow insert. I’m still getting used to the airflow adjustment. I thought I had it wide open but one was open and one was closed.

I tried the triple coil setup when I did the review but prefer the dual coil build using the little jumper link that's included.

It looks too difficult for me especially with 3 coils!

Does anyone else have the Vaporesso Gen 200? What are the three choices F (t) mode, PUL mode or VWN mode? @hittman?

VWN is variable wattage normal, PUL is Pulsed output, and F(t) is kind of a modified temperature control. Somewhere in one of my reviews is an explanation I found on this mode. I like it and can tell the difference between it and pulse but some people say they can’t.

Spent a couple of hours this morning trying to re-wire the DNA 60 board in my 2019 BB. No good. Soldering skills just aren't up to the challenge. I'm left with a DNA board and screen that works but I need to get a new up/ down button set. Tiny wires and contact points. BB in bits in stasis in a box.

One of my main challenges was seeing the tiny point-to-point contacts. @AngeNZ how are you finding your geek goggles? I think I need a set.

My Topside dual squonkers cleared customs in record time, only 3 days. They are out for delivery today. They even took the time to vote, Republican, I hope.

Suffering from major shinyitis withdrawal, I found it impossible to stop from ordering a couple of these:

I prefer fire bars and have no use for the tank, but I like green. It's light, cheap and a US vendor.
This should satisfy the urge while I fork over $3500 for a transmission rebuild.

When will they come up with a shinyitis/hoarder vaccine?

Take two mods and a tank then call me in the morning.

My eyesight is at the point where I need actual reading glasses, so the geek goggles are just brilliant. Look around (no pun) as different models have various lens options. Mine with a 1x is good for decks, but for finer work go up to 8x. The ones I have are a way cheaper, crappier, lower magnification version of these:

I do find it hard focusing on a certain spot sometimes with the goggles, so a desk clamp magnifier may also be an option for you. Something like this:

Like our Hitman, I prefer using F(t) mode. It's not a temp control setting - it just vapes better for me over pulse mode. Luna prefers pulse mode.

I finally found a store in NZ that stocks the 0.4ohm GTX coils. So I ordered some to see if I like them more than my current fave the 0.3ohm

Hopefully never lol!

Have you tried the Wurm with no insert? I vant to know vow airy vit is.

I've only used the 2.5mm insert in mine. I have always toned the external airflow right down too so I get my usual RDL! You most definitely can get a lot of airflow happening with the Worm though. @hittman is vaping his one with quite a bit of a/f so he may be able to give you an idea

life and work have both been busy and I haven’t had a chance to change the insert yet. With the 2.1 and wide open it’s still RDL. I like RDL but feel like I’m not getting great flavor. I might switch with one of my own coils when I change the insert and see if that’s better.

Thanks Ange. Yeah I've had to use reading glasses since my early 40s. It sucks.

Trying to fix the BB, I was using a desk magnifier attached to a soldering rig but it was a clumsy way to work. I reckon the geek goggles will be more practical.
