Im lost!! I need updates. How Megan feeling? How are Foxes coils? Has jess been profiled by the k-9 unit yet?

Wonder where the guy has it hosted. That could be the problem. No telling really.

My coils SUCK!!!!! It is driving me crazy trying to do this. I wrap them 8 times to shoot for 1.4 ohms. They look good. I put the tails though the base, still looking good, put the insulator on with one of the tails on the inside and one on the outside, still looking good, insert the pin (very painfully), still looking good because I keep the rod I use for wrapping in there, pull the rod out, put it in the iTaste VV V3 to test it and WHAT 3.2, adjust, 5.7, adjust, 2.6, etc, etc, etc,. I am not sure I can do this!

Yes you can. 8 wraps of 29 gauge gives me 1.3 or lower, try for ten. Your device may not be able to read that low? Keep at it, it will work.

I appreciate your confidence in me! I just get really frustrated and have a tendency to vent! Sean at LV is sending new parts (chimneys in the bases). I took a very close look at the ones I bought and they are just a hair thicker than the one you gave me. That hair thickness is preventing the chimney from being inserted into the base. So it is a manufacturing malfunction. I will continue to try.

My Got Cookee comes today and I really wanted to try it in an upgraded tank. Not that I don't love my Aspires...I do! See I talked about NT!!! Oh and forgot 2 50 mls of paste so the cats will leave me alone so I can get these coils worked out!

this for PT heads?

If so then look real closely at the leg to make sure you trimmed them as close as possible to the base....sounds like a bit of shorting :)

Yes the PT heads! I was using my jewelry snippers but switched to using toenail clippers. When the ends are clipped there is just the teeniest piece still there. Maybe I should look for different toenail clippers this weekend when I do the shopping at Walmart.

Instead of cutting them, bend the wire back and forth and up and down a few times and it should break off clean with no overhang.

Early on I tried and couldn't even get the chimney off so I gave up and haven't tried since, probably won't since I stopped using tanks anyway. I used my PT for about a week or two and didn't like it at all, put it in the emergency box with the T3s's, now the Aspires have joined them and I only use the Reo's and RDAs.

If he ever decides to start vaping I may dig them out for him but probably nothing glass as he is a walking disaster area. lol
