Does anyone have a single coil build on their Magma? I had a bit of leaking from the airholes. Did a search and found that if I moved the coil up about the airholes that would stop it. It helped, but not completely. So, I'm wondering if anyone has a picture of how that set it up. Single coil only, please. Thanks :)

I think I may have mentioned earlier that it would be hard to clone. The way the pieces fit together is very specific and just a hair off would turn it into a fountain. Are you filling it with the fill hole or upside down with the glass pulled down? I fill it upside down, then push the glass in place before turning it right side up.

ETA: I just looked at the clone on FT. It doesn't even look like there is a fill hole and screw. It seems most people don't use the fill hole, but it's odd that there isn't one.
It has one. Haven't tried upside down yet. IMA have to give that s shot later. The fill hole is under that plastic cap thingy. But its so small that the only way to use it is with a syringe. The workmanship and build quality is the worse I've ever seen.- the threading is off, the o-rings were all out of shape and it showed up looking like it came from an archeological dig.
I'm not mad I bought it assuming I was throwing money away and knew it was a gambler can't be mad at 14 bucks.
But it is the last time I buy a clone from ft. From now on its authentic or the top 3 cloners that I know I can trust the quality of- and from a reputable US vendor.

I've been slumming in the underground today. I don't like it there, but I feel bad when I see threads go on for 3+ pages with people tearing each other apart, while questions asked by new vapers only get a couple of responses. I had a feeling it was going to go that way.
I checked them out opening day and haven't been back since.
Nor will I. I hate seeing new vapors getting bad advice or no advice. I'm to outspoken about things I feel wholehearted about.

When things spit at me, I spit back. My Nautilus and BVC coils are en route, so can't actually help, sorry.

I have a Nautilus mini on the way with some extra coils, besides those the only thing I picked up was a Dripper Pro of the classies.
I think I have gotten to the point where I might want something but I don't need it so I'm sitting on my hands and tell myself no.

Not me. I still HAVE to go to bed around midnight. I just don't function well if I change my sleep pattern even by an hour. I wish I could stay up later but then I wouldn't get up until noon.

I am just happy because now I got another person that will stay up with me all night :p

Same thing happened to me after a juice order. Same herbal green tea out of Florida. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same company. I waited too long on some of the charges so there's no way I can recoop all the charges but I'm hoping I'll be able to get some reversed.

Kiwi - I had the same fraud charges on my credit card over a 3 month period. I just got my new acct after canceling that card. A charge for some herbal green tea stuff out of Florida, a charge out of Mexico, a couple of software and service type charges and that $1.50 foreign service charge.

Had to argue with Citibank to cancel my acct. First time I reported it they reversed the charge but would not cancel the acct. Second month I raised the roof yelling at supervisor. They cancelled the acct and issued new card to get me off the phone.

Have to watch those statements and your acct. I am supposed to be notified by email when my card is used. No email for any of the fraud charges. Charges did not show on my statements until July. The charges were posted to Citi months after they were made. Bank could not explain it.

I have ProTank2s, Kayfuns, Sophias, and drippers. Nothing is without it's issues. Everyone is into those BVC's, so I had to try it.

As for your issue, I would try a longer drip tip.

That's pretty closed to the authentic, that's why people don't use it. The o-rings are so important! If they aren't tight the liquid will just pour out. One of mine is a little loose, so I have to be careful when I wipe off the glass part not to pull it off.

I gave it a chance, I still will pop over there occasionally if there's really nothing else to do.
BUT, it seems to me that
a) It kinda stalled...
b) An inordinate portion of the posts they DO get consist of
i) random thoughts - not vape related, which is fine
ii) vendor posts and contest entries
Remove that, and there's not much "content" left
Heck, something like 10% of the entire forum consists of people trying to win a ProVari
:)

You forgot bashing other forums. There are a lot of angry people. If I was a new vaper I would be put off by that place immediately.

Keg lube, love. It's o-rings BFF. Pay a couple bucks at Northern Brewer, MoreBeer or your local homebrew shop for a 1 oz 'tub' & your rings will thank you. I know we usually don't talk about lube, but it's important.

I read your post about it before. It sounds interesting, but this particular ring doesn't need to be anymore lubed.

I did and that seems to do it for now.

This is my first BVC coil, so far so good.I'm trying it with an e-liquid that the first time I used it was in a carto tank and it was just awful, then I switched it to a cheap dripper and was amazed how good it was, from there it went in to a Kayfun and it was still good now I tried it in this large Nautilus and it still tastes good.

Now I have to see how long those coils last, the first bvc coil has bin in use for 24 hours now, if those coils do as well as has bin indicated I can see myself using the Nautilus more often, otherwise I will stick to my Sophias or the Kayfuns there much more economical to maintain.

Don't be afraid of trying new things. I know, I know, lube sounds scary and all, unnatural even, but it'll be ok, I promise. :wub:

I just checked, B3 (aka MoreBeer) doesn't sell it anymore. They're using something that I'm not familiar with. Looks great for in the brewery, but I don't know about for vape gear. Northern Brewer has it though. Keg Lube : Northern Brewer

If you conditioned that ring with a little keg lube, you wouldn't have the problem when pulling the glass tube off. It doesn't make the ring slick, it makes it more pliable. It's going to want to stay put, yet provide a better seal. With the amount you use, think of it more as a conditioner than a lube. You put the tiniest bit between your fingers & work it into the ring. There shouldn't be excess, the ring should just look sort of wet/shiny.

Well, kinda. The neighbor won't be happy if I'm hammering and drilling at 3am in the morning. And I sometimes have to do things in the morning so that would require me to change my sleeping, then the next day I'll be like a zombie. Not good for those driving cars around me.
And that's a problem?

I haven't been over there for very long. I couldn't get use to the format, though I really didn't give it a chance. I can barely keep up with one forum.
