Did anyone check out the FDA nomination hearing for Scott Gottlieb? Sen. Murray brought up vaping, DIY or Die goes over it in a video he just posted on YouTube. This guy really might be able to help us vapers out. We can only hope... Not like I'm ready to stop stockpiling but I sincerely hope current smokers will continue to have access to this lifesaving technology.

Ordered from fastech for the first time this week fingers crossed! The only other place in China ive ordered was 3fvape, it worked well for the first time so I just kinda stuck with them.... about to experience my first real slow boat purchase. Heard some long wait times from FT... 3fvape was always here in 10ish days..
I too have been satisfied with FT. I've ordered from them dozens of times and I dont worry about when packages arrive. They get here when they get here usually in 2-4 weeks.

Without FT, stocking up for the dark ages would have put a serious dent in my bank account.

It get there when It get there. They have a 10% off next weekend.

I have lost count on how many orders I have placed in the last two years.
I can't keep track of how many times I've ordered because they only keep 4 pages of orders! I used to use that information to re-order things. Then things started dropping off the list!!!!

Something not quite right about that. Mine goes to 16 pages. They seem to get dropped after 2 years.

Wondering what I did wrong. Only 1 coil is heating and it's not uniform

Sorry to say, but I think you are moving way to fast for your skill level. Those coils need be centered first to allow for equal wicking in the juice channels and they are making contact. They need to be strummed to allow oxidization between the loops or built spaced.

I would really suggest that you watch a few YouTube videos on [Insert Your New Tank Name Here] to find out how to actually build them properly.

So that's why they drop off! Two years! I don't order all that frequently. It's still annoying though. I want to see ALL my orders. {pout}

As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as moving too fast, you move at your own speed.
Use the mandrel you wound the coil on to push your coils so that they are as close to the center of the deck as possible. From your picture, push the coil on the right (with the scorch mark) towards the top of the picture, the coil on the left toward the bottom of the picture. That will bring both coils at the center of the deck, the wick legs will be pretty much equal length. Once that is done, pulse the power button and use a pair of tweezers to strum the coils until you get even heating.

I actually did watch the video for building this particular tank. I just came here for some advice as to what was wrong.

Thank you, much appreciated. I'm quite comfortable with single coil builds and am merely expanding my knowledge. There are, however, times when I need advice from those more experienced than I [emoji4]

I went and watched it. Sen. Murray clearly understands very little about vaping. It really does make you want to throttle her. As far as the DIY or DIE channel, I have tried to watch some of his stuff before. He doesn't seem to be able to speak without throwing out the F bomb.

And he uses words wrong all the time too :rolleyes: I love a bunch of his recipes though so I put up with it.

Just me, it appears as if both coils are too close to the center post for my way of building.
Try slightly longer legs, so when mounting in the base you can adjust coil position before tightening so the coils can sit farther away from the center post.

After mounting coils & tightening screws pulse a few times don't worry about how it glows at this point, then strum / fiddle & adjust final coil position while pulsing to get them even. Allow to cool, check the mounting screws to be sure they're tight.
Looks like a whole lota of wraps, SS?
