I'm not an expert on PP, but how long has it been pending? Also, you can contact them and ask what's going on. It may just be a simple glitch.

A couple of hours pending. I tried to contact them but the phone just said go to the website and send them a message. And then it just hung up on me, a bit rude
I messaged them so I'll see what they say.

Don't know. It's in there. Didn't measure it. The next size up is 3.5, so my guess is the 3.0 is the smallest. I'll look for a 2.5.

Is yours the newer FL version?

And we're off....eventually i'm Dvarwing. Seriously good vape she is to
View attachment 899743
Another good buy. I'm on roll here. Don't buy much anymore, but when I do...it works. Long may that continue. Thanks @ShowMeTwice your persistence (or rather your patience in sharing) paid off. This one is a keeper.
She's the 24 DL. I have her on the smallest air inlet...might want to go one one smaller to get that wee bit more restriction. I see there's a 22 and 24 Dvarw. Does the air inserts fit both? I can get some MTL ones and drill it open.

Ah and hello to all you lovely people. Apologies that i've been lying somewhat low here lately...are crazy busy with the other hobby.

Looks awesome. Happy to hear you're enjoying your Dvarw!

AF inserts do not fit both MTL and DL. The newer Dvarw DL FL AF inserts are longer in length than the ones for the OG. AF inserts for the Dvarw MTL FL 22/24 will not fit in the DL's.

At FT forum members say the Dvarw MTL (older vsn's) AF inserts will not work in the DL's.

That's annoying, but I suspect everyone is affected by Covid nowadays. People working from home. Who knows. They'll get back to you, I'm sure. Fingers crossed.

A question for all Shiny PayPal Punters
I'm trying to send some money through PayPal for a pretty purchase.
The money has processed in my PayPal account and taken the funds from my bank but it won't send the money through to the person I'm buying from to pay for the goods.
It says Pending on my Statement.
Has anyone had something similar happen?

Would it be cos' I've spent too much bloody money lately?

Sorry to hear that mate. Every time I've sent money via PP it went through right away.

You should have gotten a 2.5mm AF insert with the DL.

ETA: Correction: the smallest is 3mm. Sorry.

Actually Paypal has a security feature where it flags your account if you have purchased too many Brunhildes in a short period of time. They figure it is fraud because nobody could want that many Brunhildes.

But in actual useful information, I had something happen like that to me a couple years back. It was just a random Paypal glitch. I am pretty sure the pending charge just dropped off the account the following day.

I have only one last dilemma. Hellvape MD. Still on the fence...

You know you want to get one. Just do it. Then you can review it for me before I use mine!

Mine have all gone through previously too

Finally! Thank you! Executive decision. Another order ready. Hellvape and VV Claptons.

This thread is murder.

Oh btw.......

It took a lot longer than it should have, but I used my first RTA.

 

[Redbird11]

Cant blame you. It hits like a truck and is tiny plus now I saw it on special..overseas

Just in case you feel like getting another one. Is now my work little rig

That is a pretty cool looking little device.

Well, it was an experience. I was watching 3 different instruction videos while I was doing it, switching back and forth between them. Was that overkill? Perhaps, but I wanted to get it right the first time.

I found the wicking to be a little more difficult than expected. I couldn't tell how much cotton to put in, how much to cut off the tail, and how much I should thin it out. The video said that with higher VG I needed to thin it out more than high PG liquid. Mine was about 30pg/70vg give or take so I thinned out the cotton some.

Flavor is good. Pretty good vapor production as well. I am getting some popping when I vape on it though, which I don't have an issue with on my Zlides/Zenith tanks. Also, not sure about what wattage I should set it at. I'm used to drop in coils that have a wattage range. Also, the prebuilt coil I am using is suppossed to be a 1.0 ohm, but it is reading as 1.10 ohm on the ohm reader and the mod.

That is a long winded way of saying "review currently in progress".

The first one always takes a long time. Congrats

Your mod will read a slightly different ohms value, depending on the coil's leg lengths and so on. As for wattage - start low, and go up slowly until you find your happy place. And from a 2 year old builder - the wicking is always the hardest part

I trimmed the legs flush with the post, so I don't know if that means they are too short or long. I never really thought of leg length being a variable before.

As for wattage, I started at around 10w and I have it at 12w. I am not sure what is causing the popping sound, but I thought maybe it had something to do with my wattage not being right.

All good. The more you know...

Good. Thinner eliquids require more wick, thicker--less. So far so good! '

I am getting some popping when I vape on it though, which I don't have an issue with on my Zlides/Zenith tanks.

Popping can be happening for several reasons. Here's a rather comprehensive list:

Atomizer Popping and Spitting: 11 Ways to Fix - eCig One

Also, not sure about what wattage I should set it at. I'm used to drop in coils that have a wattage range. Also, the prebuilt coil I am using is suppossed to be a 1.0 ohm, but it is reading as 1.10 ohm on the ohm reader and the mod.

The rules (the Ohm's Law) cannot be defied. It doesn't matter if it's a drop-in coil or your own, the same wattage should be used. For 1Ω coil, I'd start low, say at 10 of 11 watts.

Also, the prebuilt coil I am using is suppossed to be a 1.0 ohm, but it is reading as 1.10 ohm on the ohm reader and the mod.

That's perfectly normal. Those coils are not made by NASA; also, different mods are often off by a bit. You're fine. 1.1Ω is within acceptable range.

That is a long winded way of saying "review currently in progress".

I'm so proud of you!
