Way to go Sturm!
Dan

I'm still waiting on mine, maybe it's in the mail at home or it will be in tomorrow, but I had a question since you got yours already. The pics look like Sturm actually took the time put them, did they come assembled and ready for mesh and coil or are they kits? Just curious. It looks awesome with the adapter and tip on as well (I have my t-tip and adapter waiting for it to arrive).

I think mine turned out a little shorter. I need a longer needle to work with.

Any one know what size needle he is using I had to dig around for something that would work.

I don't know about wrapping the steel, but in one of my G-tanks I un-braided so XC-116 and used it for the wick. It is performing better than the steel. The steel is great but I like the ceramic better.

how many strands are you using would you say, and how are you getting them all through the hole? I thought about unbraiding and doing it that way, but wasn't sure how i would get enough strands into the opening.

My syringe needle was a lot shorter also. So I have a pack of sewing needles I bought for modding a while back. I have a few nice long ones in there that work a treat.

I was playing around and dropped it on a EGO battery and the dang thing still work like a dream. WOW a reason to keep the old EGO battery's charged.

Here is a photo of my set up on my GGTB with my 2nd G-Tank un-assembled :)

I have managed to fix this by shaving 1mm off the 'S' wire end that slides into the rubber sleeve. I think the excess was causing the 'S' wire to touch the main body when fully tightening down the connector section. Now it is working a treat and neatly tightened down.

Just did another build. I am finding the weak spot for mine is the connector and the 's' wire. If I screw the connector all the way down, I loose power, so in order to power the unit I have to slightly unscrew it. I am guessing maybe it is slightly too long and the pressure of the tightening is causing the 's' wire to disconnect from the positive post?
Tomorrow I may try creating a new wire with my silver wire.
Got it going nicely again, I'll see how long it last this time.
I am also finding I am wrapping 6 wraps to get 2.0ohms, probably because the wick diameter is smaller than on my hybrid?

Yep this was one of the first batches of indulgence, I since bought a platinum one, but the connections and the button were not as good. this one is the old faithful and substituted my home made NicoStick mod back in the day.
Great thing about this is it takes nice and cheap, Ultrafire 18350 1200mAh batts, and I bought a few of those. 8)

That's nice it has good lines. I have been looking for an Indulgence but all I find is the Platinum one and wont the chrome but never seam to find one.
