Good morning shinies :wub:

Thanks all for the advice. I re-wicked my Brunhilde with longer tails and guess what it still seems saturated this morning v:thumb: oh and I forgot to fluff the tails too. It's still pretty full from last night though so still a test in progress. I'll definitely try the fluffing next time. I did wash the tank out when I got it though so don't think it's the cables. Time will tell if it's ok as is.

I contacted the seller to sort out the accidental sending of black and they are going to send me the SS one that I ordered. I'm waiting for a further email from them to find out further details.

Have a good day all :wub:

    Just to add....I use Mavaton X cotton so the fibres are all in the same direction and it's fluffy out of the box. tank now 2/3 full and no dryish hits so far :thumb:

    Morning Charlie:thumb:
    I like the sound of that cotton! Great to hear your going well so far Mate:)

    I do hope you have yourself a very nice day:wub:

    How do I know when to throw a battery?
    I've got a stack of them...some since day one, some 5 yrs ago. They're all still going good to. Can't really say that i've noticed a drastic decline in any of them...so it don't make sense to me to just throw them away.

    I tend to hammer mine by charging them at 1-2A - my small payoff for supervised charging. Though some days, I wouldn't call me a very good supervisor :rolleyes:

    Anyway, my new batteries start life off in my mech/unreg. mods where I usually pull them off to charge @ 3.4-3.6V.

    After a while, they go and get really hammered in my regulated mods. And I only pull them off to charge when the mod says they're flat.

    I take them out of rotation when
    A) I start noticing major declining in how long they last in a mod.
    B) if for some reason, they've discharged below 2V.
    C) they blow up.

    Thanks so much! you are the researcher of all things vape :thumb: !!!
    That’s the new name for Lightening Vapes. I’ve ordered most of my pre made coils from there. I was looking for some slightly more exotic like juggernaut or hive just to play with some fancy coil builds.

    Ive ordered from Fasttech awhile ago but I’m not to sure of the quality of SS from china. But they have a great selection of exotic type premade coils.

    What about trying Amazon and seeing if there's US suppliers there?

    As for FT, some of the better quality wire/coil brands are Wotofo, Coilology, Vandy Vape, Thunderhead Creations and Vapefly

    There's a dotAIO v2 coming out
    DotAio-V2.0_intro_DotMod-Youvape.jpg


    I held out on the original, mainly due to the lack of VW. This version has along with the Auto mode of the OG - VW, BP and TC. It's 100% compatible with the v1 boro tanks, doors and customisations.

    quality of SS from china
    Indeed. I used to do inspections on delivered steels for the Atomic Energy Board in SA. Some batches (ST ST included) were rejected even though it came with a certificate of compliance from the manufacturers.
    I don't trust St St from China. It's one thing to call it St St, but quite another sometimes when it's analized.
