So I heated them at 20w till they glowed a couple times. They looked sort of coppery but now after a bowl have turned dull gray, though they still have a little copper to them. Has this oxidized? Should I stop using them?

In my Pinterest notifications this morning:

I have an email in to SourceMore asking what’s up. I hope I hear from them. It’d be a pain to dispute via PayPal blah blah blah. Edit: though now I see @Shit Snacks post and it gives me hope.

About what I paid for it from SourceMore, which has been in “label created” limbo with NL Post for about a week.

Thanks. I haven't dry fired them yet, so I'll do that next. 20 watts?

So I recently ordered a spare build deck and stock Clapton coils for my Si, and i installed a pair today. The resistance is supposed to be 0.23-0.26 and these are reading 0.28. Did I mess something up? I tried to upload a pic but couldn't get it to take...

I'd be using the Z at first with an Espion 200W and then a Lost Vape Paranormal if it ever arrives from China. Honestly, does it sound like the Z's going to be wasted in my use pattern? I'd like to know sooner than later, so I can cancel the preorder, get a refund and buy a v2.

But isn't that kind of the definition of the session vape? Now I'm really confused. I wonder if I can cancel the pre-order...

What does "on bowl" and "off bowl" mean? Actually it's more like a hit, then I wait a bit to gauge effect, then another, then I might wait what I *think* is a half hour, but is actually more like 10 minutes. Are you saying that the Z is more a session vape than an on demand? I thought the...

How long are we talking in terms of warmup? I generally take a hit, put it aside for 15-20 min, etc etc. Is the Z good for this scenario?

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I wasn't feeling cheap until I saw that PIU special on the v2. I had budgeted for the Z, so maybe I'll just get it. It doesn't sound like I'm going to regret it.

Is there a significant enough difference between the v2 and the Z custom that it's worth my spending nearly twice the PIU v2 price? Would I be better off cancelling my pre-order and buying the v2?

And I just pre-ordered a custom Z (for more than $89.) I hope it's worth it.

Thank you. Now I just have to figure out why my Espion 200W running Red Panda shuts itself off whenever I fire for the shutoff time (10 sec). Can’t find anything in the manual.

I was taking a couple hits last night at at about 45w and I noticed the resistance of the Kanthal coils going to about 0.28 during heating from about 0.22 when cold, which is where they were when I got them. Is a rise in resistance during heating normal, or have I actually wrecked my coils?

Just for shits and giggles I tightened the screws a bit (only 2 of them could even be tightened,) and it had no effect on the resistance. It stayed at 0.22, where the coils have been since I got it.

Yeah, before I started playing with preheat 52 watts was the highest I’d gone. I’m going to keep preheat off and just play with draw speed between 40-50. I love this thing, really. The taste is great, I’m getting big clouds, and I’ve run it through a 10mm nano bong I bought for use with my...

I actually just turned it back on to check and the resistance is back to where it has been, 0.22. Is there a wattage I should go no higher than? I have the non-standard Kanthals you shipped on the early ones.

So I was playing some more today and I set up preheat in wattage mode to fire for 2 sec at 155% of power. Preheat probably hit 75w at least a couple times. Have I wrecked the coils? They look fine, but live resistance is reading a bit higher, around 0.24. This is on a Espion 200W running Red...
