I'm pretty sure that hasn't been found out yet, I know WillyB was looking hard for a source.

 

[bmwzero]

I to searched hard before biting the bullet and just buying 2 metres from bulli.

 

[bmwzero]

But really at like 2.80 a meter its a bargain even from bulli.

I do collect a lot of info (you should see my links) but since I don't use this atty I have basic info bookmarked for it. I do know they've discussed it thoroughly in the atomizer review section here.

Thanks for that turbo

When I said dual coil i forgot to mention dual wicks. Has anyone tried a dual coil with two wicks?

This could also allow for two differebt types of mesh to be used.

Raidy tried.

What were his results?

It seems to me that a dual coil further complicates things with the extra wire and likely just sounds impressive.

If you want to alter wicking properties with a coil and surface area, you can make tight coils with loops very close together or spread them out over more wick for more surface area.

Dual wicks or maybe dual genisis, that might be something.

The SCUBAGENv3 design can handle dual coils, rather than make the horseshoe wick, just insert 2 seperate wicks and wrap each with a coil. With the spring clips it would be easy to wire in parrallel so if one burns out, you have the second.
Was thinking of this days ago, just havent got around to testing it out. LOL

Oh BTW all SCUBAGENv3's are paid for in the Co-Op, the order goes in tomorrow!

Having the ScubaGenv3 is going to be great. About 3 weeks ago I modded 4 CE2's , 3 of them with SS wicks and Kanthal. I am still using only one of the best hitting ones after 3 weeks of use with no considerable change in flavor. My only gripe about it is that the tank is tiny and I have to refill it 2 or 3 times a day.

With the ScubaGen I will be able to have it as my main goto vape and use the small CE2's for my after dinner dessert vapes, morning vape etc.

Edit:Has this thread been hijacked? lol

How are you soldering the kanthal?
I can't get that stuff to stick at all. So I am using nicrome.

Kanthal does not like solder. You have to first tin it with silver brazing (which does stick to regular solder very well) and then solder it to the lead wires. It's a pain, but it's doable.

You are better to just braze instead of braze and solder though because the kanthal can very easily get hotter than the melting point of solder....just an fyi

He calls it Cloud Machine You can find the picture in his thread. Sorry, I don't remember exact link.

Good combination - Greek Phalanx

SS GGTS & Genisis by Djgap

Finally picked up a GGTS! It isn't stainless...but a geni is still going to look great on it!!

I bend j hooks on the kanthal and on the leads and crimp them together then flux and solder with silver solder. The solder will stick to the lead wire and form a ball securing the kanthal.

 

[lorderos33]

by silver solder. are you referring to silver brazing rod or is there something that is easier to work with?

here comes the dumb question. i heard of it before but what is a j hook. this sounds like something i am looking for. also where do you get them. Thanks

 

[bmwzero]

You bend both ends of the wires in hooped J looking.
