Morning all. Good to see people are safe from the storm. But holy cow! 7 million people without power. Atlantic City looks horrible. I cant imagine how hard it will be when clean up begins. For everyone affected by the storm I wish you a speedy recovery.
Got a good coil goin the other day.....too good, wicking wasn't enough.
Make new fatty wick.....kill previous good coil
Kill lots of 32 kenthal getting new wick going.......check
And finally, perfection!
I wish my coils burned blue =P
Morning guys, finally got to sit down and play with the Green Envy v2. Rolled a decent size wick (60mm wide) and wrapped a 5/4 coil with 30awg kanthal, and the GE just vapes wonderfully. Setting up the wick and coil was a breeze, and I love the way the posts are setup (No awkward two-sized allen wrench/slippery thumb-tightened nuts to worry about). No complaints about the way it performs at all.
I do have a complaint about the presentation, how the device looks. This is how I received the GEv2 on Friday. *Lots of pictures below*
None of the engravings/design elements line up! When I first saw it, to be honest, I was taken aback. When I see "Limited Edition", I see "Flagship pieces/Showcase pieces", and I believe that expecting the design elements/defining features to line up as the render is not too much to ask for. Especially since I saw a few people posting pictures of their Green Envy, where everything does line up.
This morning, I finally sat down, and finally take it out of its tube again. I thought, I already paid for it, might as well try it out, and like I wrote, I have zero complaints about the way it performs. Now, I don't complain for the sake of complaining, it's a waste of energy for me. I'd sooner put it up on the classy and be done with it, if I didn't care. Seems to me that this could all be fixed by including a couple thick o-rings and a couple thinner o-rings in the tube, to account for the machining variance. If the o-rings were included, I would've felt better and chalk it up to machine limitation, instead of feeling like I got something out of the "Ooops"/second-grade bin.
I don't know, maybe I am being overly critical, and if so, I offer my apology in advance. I did try to keep it constructive. At any rate, I do hope that the future LEs don't have the same problem.
This is just how I have it setup at the moment. After vaping on it more, my gripes with the alignment becomes less and less important. I'm just glad I got that thread ring sleeve. The surprise Trippy tip was a very nice touch. I just don't have it on for fear of breaking it.
Sorry for the long ramble, thanks for reading.
THAT ^ was my worst nightmare when I was waiting for mine!! Turned out to be not so bad using some the tricks that the Hybreeds have mentioned.
You couldn't tell the diff? The battery is WAY bigger.
Only a real man can carry a pink/purple iHy!
That'd be me...
Trade you my trippy for a official pluid drip tip...
Yes hope all is well!! I know I may be a little late but long story short what a hell of a weekend... I didn't have to worry about sandy but i was dealing with a batch....
AAAAnd caught up!!!
So just an update...
As time goes by and I'm steadily vaping this thing all day everyday since I got it, I continue to like it more and more. I don't have a single complaint other than my Provari has been sitting on the sidelines with a sad face and I'm pretty sure it's contemplating murder/suicide.
I made up a new coil cause the 30g 2/3 wrap wasn't doin it for me. This is what I came up with...

THAT ^ my friends is a 32g twisted coil 2/3 wrap that metered out to 1.4 ohms. Same wick as before, #500 solid rolled wick using my special method of folding/rolling and oxidizing. While I'm not prepared to share my methods just yet. I will tell you that the flavor with this setup is better than any shifu atty or anything else that I've vaped with for that matter. I've vaped pluid in everything I have and this beats em all hands down.
I've had no problems with the new style switch, fires every time, hits hard every time, no wobble to speak of. I'm still compelled to try magnets in the switch as opposed to a spring mostly cause I want to compare the difference for myself as opposed to being told others opinions of the differences.
Batteries don't knock around inside in either 18350 or 18650 mode (AW IMRs). I seriously couldn't be happier and I will most likely be buying another one just to have one for dif flavors cause the one pictured above will be used exclusively with Pluid in it.
Edit: Wicks so well if yo tilt it it will flood!! I actually do the oposite of tilting it to the wick side. Unless it's a fresh battery I actually tilt the juice AWAY from the wick lol. Been going through about 3-5 tanks a day!!
19k and it hasn't even got there?
Your in for a treat then, we are at 60k without power in my county.
Thank god for generators.
Just got a stock notification for Pluid at 310vapers. Goes on sale at 3pm PST. Good luck everyone! I've got to score some, too. Hope I make it home in time to snag some.
These days I take my allopurinol daily to prevent attacks... the pain can be incapacitating.
Good night for me
It's 3:24AM here in Melbourne
Talk soon
Dreaming in PLUID

I wanna know whose bright idea it was to have the roofers working on the building next door today? We got a bit of a lull between the storm from the midwest and Sandy hitting, but really? It's drizzling and we could get gusts up to 60 mph with no warning. Don't people care about people anymore... fricking stupid azz people, I swear.. The shingles can bloody well wait.

In short Fisty, no, people do not care about people on the whole anymore. We are no more than wage slaves lining others pockets these days, and that's about it. Greed rules the day, and the almighty dollar trumps any semblance of compassion from higher ups for the common worker.
