FINALLY GOT HER
MY rdk-300 came in a couple days ago. It's surprisingly small, but thats a good surprise. Also the cord length IS a little on the short side, but it works for me and actually helps reduce the clutter a longer cable would form. The temp knob is nice and smooth, and its real easy to just plug-n-play from the box. She heats up fast enough for me honestly. I came home from work, went to my room and turned her on. Then i went to get a glass of water, set up my music, and pull my medicine out. she was ready and waitin before i finished preparing lol. I already know I got my money's worth (assuming she's durable enough to last for a while.)
I don't feel comfortable with my coil however . I ordered a 20 mm nail and coil from auber, and my coil fits VERY loosely. I've seen people deal with a much snugger fit; some even resorting to pushing it in with all their strength or using a screwdriver to loosen it. I have the opposite issue; my coil doesn't even make contact with any part of the nail besides the bottom (since it basically falls there), and slightly on the opposite side of where the coil starts.
Is this normal, or do I have a legitimate concern? I mean i guess i can just raise my PSL ratio, but I wanna know if thats necessary. I have it on 1.04 for now
Yes, gently with pliers. I have a set of cheap silicone jaw covers for pliers that I use for this sort of thing. Keeps from marring the material.FINALLY GOT HER

I think you will find your Auber, and the company...Auber Instruments...to be much to your liking. Congrats... just pulled the plug on a RDK-200 with 20mm coil and nail - http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=459
...i've wanted an enail for a while now, but couldn't bring myself to spend $500+USD on a decent setup. I looked into the chinese enails but never snagged one (too many mixed reviews)...
... for less than $200 CAD i have a great (based on reviews) starter enail setup that i probably wont need to upgrade anytime soon except for maybe a quality nail... eventually a liger setup (which far surpasses my initial investment lol)
...i'm basically only using my flowerpot now... using default settings... i've seen a few post (not just FP post, various enail threads) where people change their PID settings... forgive my ignorance here, but is there any real advantage in changing the settings?
...i don't feel as if i have any performance issues... but i don't know ...could it get any better?
