IIRC I used a bamboo chopstick and 20 or 22 gauge SS wire (soft stuff, like at the hardware store and arts and crafts shops). Close wind a few turns more than you need and cut the 'good part' out of the center after stretching the coils out a bit. I found making it slightly long so it made...

I too am not sure an absolute seal is important. FWIW I don't think the current seal is all that solid, even less so after it 'wears in' some. The important part is probably the OD of the center section against the ID of the filter? And condensate rapidly caulks up the leaks anyway? It...

Nope. Only flat washers are flat washers. Other styles exist, bevel and Belvore come to mind, I think 'washer' is fine. As would be 'gasket'? Or even 'heat shield'. I wonder how this might work with a ring instead? A single loop of fine SS wire or even a small 'split ring' as used for...

Yes, I did a fair bit of experimenting with the idea a while back, it's what led to the Glass Flowers idea (and the glass spacer WRT heat distribution?). Glass is a bad choice due to poor heat flow (it's a good insulator.....) but 'all glass' is a requirement for many. Any metal is more...

Great, glad you're enjoying it. With those settings you're not using the TC mode really, you can set it to any temperature you want and get the same results since the power (9W) is nowhere near enough power to run the DT over temperature. You need about 11 Watts to make enough heat to need to...

F. Using the default conversion factor (Ni200?) calling for about 200F will get you to vaping temperatures (about 400F) due to the mismatch of conversion factors. IIRC I got best results about 220F. That takes a .75 Ohm or so (cold) doughnut to about 1.06 Ohms (plus or minus a few hundredths...

Good plan, I think. Start low and 'feel your way forward'. I think, for the most part, that's how most of us did? Start with the 'smart money advice' and experiment cautiously. Follow results you like. Good luck with it, enjoy the journey. You're welcome to use your gear as you want of...

"It depends". Doesn't it always? If you're happy with the normal 3 presets on the Mini (and I think most are) then the longer battery life and lower price make the Mini a better call. If, OTOH, you want a different (or 'in between') temperature and are willing to pay more for it and sacrifice...

I think you put your finger right on it. It's expensive to make, much more so than most vapes I suspect. That means the wholesale price has to be higher than average (IMO much higher than say a FM or Solo/Air) which makes marketing it other than directly much harder. Distributors and Dealers...

I've been thinking some on this loading thing, seldom a good thing to start doing....... So, for discussion if nothing else, here's a few random thoughts I'm having: Normally only the concentrate between the lower side of the doughnut and the floor 'works' (that is makes vapor), and only about...

Hey, it's OK. You were younger then, right? The important part is you found the little guy and made friends. OF

Since Randy now sells replacement MPs, I assume PIU will put them on their site as soon as they have stock. Quiet can also mean no problems......or questions to be answered? Maybe we're all enjoying our FMs too much to post? While I've not seen the new one, the guy at PIU said the new...

You have two options, Power (Watts, not voltage) or temperature control. The maker says 'stay under 12 Watts when new' on his web site, did you see that? Good advice, IMO. I suggest you limit it to that specified value if nothing else. Temperature control depends critically on the mod used...

If you got it from a legit dealer I'm sure it's covered then. Good luck. OF

Down here if you order a Solo and get an Air (or anything else you didn't order) by mistake it's their problem to sort out. It's flat out illegal to charge you extra for the better model. Or make you pay to send it back. IMO as it should be. Not sure of the rules in the Frozen North...... I...

As just said by another Member, you're overfilling it. To prevent leaks, don't do that. Look into the base, if the concentrate gets up to the vent holes (just above the top of the doughnut) it's going to leak back, even if you can keep it perfectly flat. Once it's past those holes, there's...

IIRC this has come up before and has to do with being too slow to heat? The second time around it 'makes temperature' in time (having a hot start) but there is a real fault behind it, or at least could be. I would not continue to use it (yes, even though it 'seems fine' afterwards). Switch to...

That's strange. The packaging is different for the Air, a bent stem doesn't really 'fit in'???? The charger 'matches' (that is it's 5 Volts not 12)? As to which is better, that's a really tough call. Many of us favor Solo by a bit, others Air? I think you should try both, it seems that for...

Beats me, China I assume, although as I said the last couple shipments from them have come from the Netherlands. It's rapidly getting to the point where the world is one of two part, us here and them? Since they all come from China one way or another........ No, it's not if you consider the...

Best price I found was from: http://www.gearbest.com/temperature-control-mods/pp_239873.html $33 for the next couple of days. no code needed. Mine (a backup for the first I bought) got here quickly (about a week IIRC) from the Netherlands of all places? It seems legit in every respect and is...
