So, Rixy, if I get one of these smok H Priv (what the hell does that stand for, anyway?) mods, I'll need to update the firmware somehow? You're saying there's a lag with the firing out of the box? I've never done an "upgrade," in fact, my Evic mini that I won in the contest last year is still version 001. :lol: But that's OK, 'cuz all I need it to do is heat up the coil when I press the button. ;) I don't know if I'd like the firing lag, though, but I suppose I'd get used to it.

Silly question of the day: Let's say you are going to twist some wire with your drill... I know everyone typically does this with one wire size, but what would be the result of, say, one strand of 28AWG and one strand of 26 (or 24, 20, etc.)? Would that be too funky? Kinda like wrapping an extension cord around a truck's coil spring?

Oh my Dog!!!:eek: A slightly janky coil... I can never speak to you again.

Good day Sir!! :grr:


---------------several moments pass-------------

Oh... I can't stay mad at you :wub:
Ha, thank you for your forgiveness, I'd be lost without the Boden.
coil snobbery :)

I could easily talk you through it and I'm sure by then Smok will have fixed their version, then it's just a case of downloading the software, choosing H Priv, press check for update and the hex file will automatically download, plug the mod in while keeping the fire button pressed, press connect and then update, done. Nought to worry about. You made me smile though, just imagine a DNA 200 with eScribe software haha.
Really though it will be fine, yours may even ship with a newer firmware out of the box, some are from what I read on reddit.

Hmm, one would ramp up quicker than the other, that's OK with a Clapton as it's wrapped around a lower gauge but twisted, personally I'd stick to the same gauge wire.

oh, and I don't like a hot vape. I tend toward cooler but like a fairly quick ramp up
I don't like a hot vape either. :)
Didn't go to work today. I've got SO much to do from being gone a while. Catching up though. :)

Other than the fact that twisted wire is a waste of wire, not much. The thinner wire would act as a heat sink.

Not sure. The head shrinker said I had some Dyslexia, Face blindness, ADD, SAD, PDD, and that I am sane..
Not sure he got that last one correct though o_O
If your sane then I must be mad o_O

I hate to say this but..

You are sane.

All that other nonsense (ADD, SAD, etc) is just how crazy people describe people with fully functioning brains.

There are so few of us we became the abnormal.

I just had an idea!!! For the next 24 hours I'm going to vape like...

Drumroll please

@Rixsta

Rixsta, if you would what build do you have in your Merlin and what pg/vg mg/mL are you using? Also at what wattage?

Its hard to vape like me with the Merlin, that is a more of a night time chillax vape, I still lung hit it though with the restrictor taken out.

My build is SS316L 26g/32g Clapton 4mm inner diameter 60 watt. Juice is 30/70 3mg nic I use cotton bacon (no eggs)

Conservative voop..
