SXmini mod ... Yihi

[DP2Raja]

Well with all the subtle messages I had to pick up an Aqua II. retrox if you have the time I would also be interested in hearing about the single coil and pic of how you close off the other two channels to prevent flooding.

Just quickly on the single coil set up. I close off the unused side air hole in the deck with the supplied screw. Then I just roll a "U" shaped cotton wick (turn it upside down) then I pack each leg into the unused channels. Pack tight. This can stay there for as long as you want, it does not get nasty because no heat is applied over there.

Then you just build your coil on the open side as normal.

As an option, I have also split the wick into two parts after threading through the coil so in essence you have four wick ends. Two of those I feed beside the inside of the positive and negative poles to the channels opposite the coiled side...they can feed the coil from those channels. The other two ends feed the channels on the coiled side. I like the first method better. Less chance of flooding.

I use a 0.5 ohm, twisted 28g so it does vaporize any excess juice, but it is easiest to just block the unused channels with the 'U' wick and then build like normal single coil on the other side.

Don't forget to block the air hole on the deck where there is no coil.

This is just one way to do it. I will take photos next time I wick.

Precisely .. there is no advantage to the new slot-less510 unless you simply cannot be trusted to follow instructions.

Too true...we are adults, just need to let us know that those are the instructions...which they originally did not mention. Information is key!

 

[Nikkita6]

Knowing the world we live in, there are plenty of people who can't

It is sad that you make a good point. Ok so we need the slot-less version for the less aware.

Or if you suffer from M.A.S. (Mod Acquisition Syndrome) [emoji6] That's why I want one, I don't need one LOL [emoji4]

Oh honey we all suffer from that You do not want to see my Vape collection *whispers* its obscene

 

[DP2Raja]

Well, some had trouble getting the 510 to "release" and allow for the flush mount it seems...and thought...cool, I can just screw this sucker down a bit.
I've had so much trouble getting mine that it ended up being the slot-less version. I've just been listening to you all rave and just getting really ticked mine was "lost" in the mail. Tracking shows it getting here tomorrow. Now I can't sleep tonight! :/

Aqua2, single coil setup option. This needs rewicking (doing it right now) but just a shot to show the "U" wick on the no-coil/closed side.

Do you prefer it in single coil mode?

 

[DP2Raja]

Yeah, I'm a single coil guy for tanks...saves on battery and there is plenty of vapor with a 0.5 ohm and AFC almost wide open. The flavor is better to me. No heat time on my mechs ... just instant heat. I get my mini tomorrow. I may try some duel coils then.

Thanks for the pics DP2Raja. So you put the screw in and U up the other side. Do you get any flooding or does the U just block the channels?

 

[retrox]

Yep, my build looks exactly like yours, DP2Raja.

The wick on the "off" side is the same amount of cotton as the coiled wick (I simply cut my wick in half), just not tapered down as seen in DP2Raja's pic. All of the cotton is packed tightly into the off channels. I've had no flooding issues using either this method or a traditional dual coil on the Aqua II. I also prefer single coil, as I found I have to run at 32w Powerful just to get those coils quickly up to vaping speed at ~.5, which tends to chew through batteries much faster.

I seem to get just as much vapor and flavor from a single coil without having to dump the extra amperage that dual coils crave into the build.

Gotta have one of these!

I would recommend a low nic blend with all the puffing your gonna be doing.
Nice things do come to those whose wait and wait and wait.

Exactly. Totally agree. And no leaking here either. I have never had a leak on my Aqua 2...and I have experimented with single and dual coils of many different configurations.

Very nice, that Origen Genesis v2 has had my eye on InTaste for a few weeks now. How is that gorgeous little Genny? Do tell, and no need to be brief

 

[ZeroOhm]

Some pics anyone have a teardown on the new flat 510.

 

[Impulso]

What's your take on the build quality? The connection looks sketchy though! Have been looking forward to this for weeks zero! Thanks!

Excellent breakdown pics! Much appreciated.

OMG.

I've been using a Manhattan with Tugboat RDA for the past 8 months.

My SXmini arrived in Barbados this morning along with a Lemo drop and my fav joose (OMG E-Liquid W.T.F).

This thing is INSANE!

Just a completely different level of vaping, so so happy

Thank you everyone for all the tips and advice.
