Just received my Cartel mech mod. And not happy. The beveled 510 connections threads are screwed up and will not screw into the top of the tube. Just called them and awaiting their reply.
Nice mod though.

View attachment 731045 View attachment 731047 Work done, packages opened... Ares came and some of the building supplies, and more juice. And I built my first coil. Copied the one that came with it (don’t want to waste my examples of what it SHOULD look like o_O). Yes, I know it’s crooked, and if it’s upside down, blame Phil and the Greek. I copied the stock coil. I get two bonus points... it vapes, and it’s clean :lol:
Well done!

No what? Salts were originally marketed for mtl.to smooth out high mg juices. @Walter_Sobchak is currently using commercial salts in his mtl attys, maybe he can chime in. I use salts in my diy at the same mg I would use freebase. DIY salt are different in someway than the commercial juice salts. Not a chemist and don't really pay attention to the explanations.
All of my salts are labeled as %s and not mg. Mine are between 35-40% I believe but the shop where I get them offers some that are even higher.

Some shops rebrand with their own labels. One of the shops I stop by on occasion does this and had mg rather than % and couldn't understand why the drippers were wanting to by them.:lol:

correction. They are labled as 2,3,4,4.5, or 5%. According to the fine print that translates to 20,30,40,45, or 50mg

After nearly a month I finally received my Cylon and it's gorgeous I also received my Titan and some other bits and pieces.
Now that the Cylon is taking over primary duties I feel safe to go ahead and install Arctic Fox on the Gen 3.
The Cylon must have a more advanced chipset as the Cylon at 30 Watts feels the same as the gen 3 at 45 Watts.

Excellent to hear you are busy! My bad, I meant ccwaters when I said CC.

You are CC going forward. :D
Heh...

Well, my first name is David. Whenever I'm in a large group and someone utters the name, of course they're addressing me.

I had to use my jeweler’s headset to see what I was doing. I’m beginning to see why people build a bunch at one time. Hard to see for old, far sighted eyes:cry:

Ohhh that’s a great idea!!! Something else shiny to buy!!

After contacting the company, whose customer assistance manager had the demeanor not conducive to retaining customers, received a wonderfully worded nasty gram.. albeit very eloquently stated,
much like telling someone to go to :evil: and making them anxious to get their trip underway
