Ooh, good point. Kinda forgot how "limp" it is. Will probably order some thicker wire down the road, but for now maybe a twist will be in the works. Gonna be a couple days before I can play, anyway

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Twisting is probably a good idea. I have no hands on experience yet but seems logical.
My best ever coil was a kanthal one made from 6/12 parallel wraps with 32 gauge wire on a 2mm mandrel. 4 month long vaping heaven.
I doubt we can make a parallel side-by-side 32 gauge nickel coil though.... Don't know... Try it

Might just do that. I enjoy tinkering once in a while ;-)
Yeah, I twist my 32g kanthal all the time. Got two full spools of it kicking around, my Erlk currently has a twisted 32 coil and the Prinz has a side-by-side 32 Both have been in there for quite a while and still vaping great, hence why I don't want to tear one out right away

Both have been in there for quite a while and still vaping great, hence why I don't want to tear one out right awayThe twisted ones tend to be noisier in my setups. They crackle and pop a lot. The parallel side-by-side are much smoother and don't crackle at all.

That's why I've got one of each, so I can get the best of both worlds Sometimes I like the crackle/pop

Does anyone know where I can find a single o ring for this? I'm in the us and no hardware stores carry metric o rings. I need the one for chimney to top cap, 5x1 mm according to the Erl website. Any help would be appreciated, I am going to keep searching
Well, the Erlk and Erlp definitely have staying power in my rotation. The only other gear that has been competing for their attention for quite a while now are my drippers, but they're definitely tops of my list for all-around use as I only really drip when I'm at home
Now I broke down and got a Flask, so I'm looking to experiment some with Ni200 coils. Any particular pointers for nickel builds in these from those that have had good results? Is thicker wire absolutely necessary or will the 32ga I have on hand work just fine? I feel like a n00b all over again
Here's my experience with the Erl and nickel builds. I have 28, 30 and 32g nickel.
Of course, as soft as nickel is, I started with the 28g single strand, 10 wrap contact coil, 3mm mandrel and didn't dry fire it. Was hitting TP almost immediately and getting some awful hits.
Next build was the same except I dry fired it before wicking. Did this with TP off and watts set to 10. It was a little better as it didn't hit TP quite as fast but still got some nasty hits. Black gunk leeched into the first tank as well.
Next build was the same except a spaced coil. Buggered up a couple of coils attempting to wick with rayon. Switched to KGD. Good vape.
I wanted to use my rayon so I decided to try twisting. I had never done anything twisted prior to this. I twisted 2 strands of 30g, 8 wraps, spaced coil, 3mm ID, wicked with rayon. Ohms out to .14-.16Ω. Set my Flalk to 480F & 28w. Perfect vape!
Now, since you don't have 30g I would suggest a triple wrap of 32g. I did this on a KFL because of the small deck. 5 wraps, 3mm mandrel came out to .09-.1Ω. I typically like to keep within the manufacturer's specs so I will build it with 6 wraps next time.
I found the Erl to be very stable using nickel. Just make sure you really crank down on the coil lead screws.
Good luck and post any questions you may have.
Dan....if you haven't found the o-ring yet, PM me your address and I'll send you a couple.
If you order a glass tank ($5) from IBTanked they send you 2 sets of orings for the Erl.
What Oring are you looking for? They send x4 for the tank and x2 of the small ones for the top cap / chimney section. I'm not aware of any other O rings on the Erl.
Cool. That gives me more options. Any chance of some hex or torx ones? Anything better than Philips/JIS or God forbit, slotted ones

IBT glass tanks are fantastic!!
I have a few of them and they do come with the tank and chimney o-rings. Just not the fill hole o-rings.

Excellent, thanks for your experiences there, Jax
So sounds like a spaced coil is the way to go? The way my week's looking it's still gonna be a few more days before I get the time to dedicate to this, but looking forward to itahhh I see... how did they pop out? Mine have never came off even through ultrasonic cleaning luckily.
Excellent, thanks for your experiences there, Jax
Without a doubt, spaced is definitely the way to go with nickel builds imo. I found that they gave me the least headaches and performed the best.
is q taking the slow boat from the uk to canada?
