Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

Any chance your positive pin on the protank base isn't making contact with the reader's positive pin?

From this angle, it looks as though both legs are running to the center pin.

What size wire are you using? Sometimes, reinstalling the center pin can tear the insulator and lead to a short.

Yay!!!!!! I just fiddled with it a little and here we go. I wonder why that work?

Okay...now for the dual coil version. This may be a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. Could I wrap the legs together ? I figure if they are touching it shouldn't be a problem . It would make it much easier for the coils not to move around.

Way to go. Fiddling with it is my go-to strategy when anything goes wrong with a coil.

Why bother with a dual coil. You may drive yourself batty.

Congratulation. The first six months are the hardest.

Yeah! After that, it doesn't change. LOL! Well done @ChelsB

I'm on a roll tonight. This may not look very good to you but for me it's definitely an improvement!

I know it sounds ridiculous but it's a personal challenge I really want to overcome!

 

[ChelsB]

Okay last question of the night... does it matter if I cut against the grain of the cotton? Or is it preferred practice to cut along the grain or lengthwise?

Good luck.

On another note I just mixed up some Diy testers including one with Shisha Strawberry.

Always cut with the grain. Longer strands wick better, and hold together.

That's my complaint about the Melo III. I only tried it twice after it came on my first Pico. Just don't care for the draw and couldn't seem to adjust it to my liking.

I used the 1.8 ohm Triton coils in it and with the afc about 1/2 way closed, it was decent. Have you looked at the Digiflavor Siren? I'm diggin' it! Fused clapton SS 30gx2/36g wrap, 3.5 mm ID.

Have you tried the shisha strawberry before? I have some but have not tried it yet

I tried the 1.8 Triton and the Triton RTA in it. It wasn't terrible at all. I just don't really like the draw as well as I do on a bunch of other tanks I have, so I just keep it on the shelf for now. I'm sure I'll pull it out and try again some day. Haven't tried the Siren.

@Katdarling No sweetie I won't raise my ohms or lower my wattage but y'all are stuck with me. Sorry! I do tootle when I use my Triton mini or Nautilus mini on my Provari though. Ok?

I haven't tried it. I did mix up 3 VBIC to test

 

[Two_Bears]

Yep. Thats va Vivi Nova

OH MY, @Bea-FL ! I can only imagine how tiny they are. We have never found a nest here at home, but we feed lots of Rubythroats. They are one of my absolute favorites.
I ran a bluebird trail for years and worked closely with rehabbers and a bander. The smallest species of hatchlings I have experienced would be the Black Capped Chickadees, but hummer babies would be even smaller yet. How special that you got to work so closely with them. The rehabbers have a very difficult job, indeed! I am happy to know you and it speaks volumes about the kind of person you must be.

I actually caught a little Ruby throated humming bird in my hand. 17 years ago a little humming bird flew in my neighbors apt..so i caught the little bird for her. The little bird was so scared it fainted. Took tge bird outside. Blew on the feathers. The little birf came to and flew away.
