They just got them in today. I only know this because I emailed about getting one and they just replied that they have come in and they can ship me one out today so your stuff should be enroute today id imagine.

@PoopMachine -- Nice!!!
Tracking info changed also, it's on it's way!!!

Schweet! I just bought a flat coil to use with my Infiniti. I have two 16m coils and a female nail now I guess I wont be using.
Please note that the flat coil needs a change in the PID values if you didnt see that already.
You could get the Auber piece for about the same price only without the ceramic nail as they just sell TI. or you could buy just the controller and coil and get the nail somewhere else. Their coil and heater arent much more than Dnails and Auber's is digital.

I skimmed the .PDF on how to do that on the Auber website, seemed pretty easy.(I think)
I sold my HE Infinity awhile back, I have the SCS Omni nail, wonder if that'll work with the flat coil.

YES! Man.. I really wanted one of those. if I would have known it existed before getting the Infiniti, I would have gotten that one.

Cool!
The anticipation is starting to build. Gonna hit up my LHS to see about a carb cap. Any good things to say about the cheap, ceramic carb caps I see all over ebay?

Let me forewarn you about an issue I had. Make sure whatever you do that the carb cap isnt touching the coil. It will cause huge temperature drops and the coil will start to heat and then when you pull the cap, the temp will jump 75-100 degrees.
What I ended up with, because it was all I could find that would work, was the HE UniTi cap. It fits the cup nicely and doesnt drop down below it and contact the coil. I did look at a couple of ceramics that would probably have worked but none of them had a real tight fight like the HE did.

Only birdshit and fools
this also has to do with the quality of your PID. on my nail I can put the carb cap on the coil all day and not get a drop of more than 5 degrees. doesn't matter if it's Boro, quartz, or ti. it has to do with how long the PID takes to recognize the coil is losing temp, then how long it takes the PID to adjust to this temp drop.

Couple of tips for the Auber flat coils...
I never needed to changed my PID settings as it was already done for me. I assume this may be the same for others if you buy the unit with a flat coil at the same time. I think you may only need to change it if you had the unit ship with a barrel coil originally and therefore the PID values would need to be changed.
Also if your coil is too tight, you can unwind them with a flat head screwdriver. Just put the head into the centre hole and twist until you unwind the coil slightly. I needed to do this to make the coil fit my ceramic nail.
I am loving my unit, such a pleasure to use.
After much more testing I have settled on 1.20 for the coil/nail heater compensation. This seems to give the most accurate results using both my k-type probe thermometer and my infra red

I bought a type K thermocouple and an infrared gun and Ive yet to get any numbers that are even in the ballpark to what I expect to see. What are you seeing on the nail with your infrared?
What values are you using? All of the PID values are adjustable, I just dont know what to set them at.

My tracking info just updated as well and its on the way
I just had the pre shipment info. Was hoping to have it for new years but at least I know its on the move now. On the bright side I did get a nice new Ti nail in the mail today.

Well it takes a bit of practice, but hover your gun about an inch above, directly over the nail, ignore the laser pointer, but concentrate on getting the large sensor hole directly over the centre of the nail. This gives me results in the region of 680-740 when the unit is set to 710 with the compensation at 1.20.
The thermocouples take a bit of practice too, but give much more accurate results. I have found the the heads of the probes are somewhat directional, and you have to have head sitting at the right angle to get a good reading. Also you have to be quite steady with your hand and wait for the probe to warm up and for the reading to steady itself, which usually takes about 30 seconds of holding the probe in the same spot on the nail. One last thing I found with the thermocouples is you need to measure the nail in a spot where there is no caked on residue, otherwise the temps read lower by around 30-50 degrees. Measuring the cup of a clean nail gives best results.

Which nail are you using? I had been using one of the nails they sell with the kit which is a nice nail actually but I switched to an Infiniti with the e-nail adapter. I dont think this nail gets as evenly heated as the old one. So I ordered a flat coil and will be putting the Infiniti back to its original form and using the flat coil underneath the cup. That should at least help with consistent heating in the cup.

I am using a ceramic nail from domeless.com

If you get one of the idab carb caps too the combo works real well. The caps are out of stock on domeless.com but you can get them here too...

Very nice. Im hoping my flat coil shows up Friday but wont be surprised if it slides to Sat.

My RDK200 is sitting over across the bay from me as of 7:00pm
.
Looks like Friday for me here as well. Not a big deal.
Here's to a happy and safe New Year to all!!
Don't forget to put your silver out on the window sill!!
"Place the silver coins on a windowsill outside your home. If you don't
have a windowsill you can put the coins on a small table outside your front
and/or back door. Do this prior to midnight. Leave the coins outside all
night. The next day take the coins off the windowsill or table and place in
a baggie being careful not to drop any coins on the ground. Spend the coins
on things like food, gasoline, clothes during the first days or weeks of the
New Year. I usually buy a few candy bars, a few gallons of gasoline and buy
a piece of clothing. The tradition is that if you do this you will not want
for money all through the coming year."
It can't hurt to try, right?

I sure am.
Are you stealing my New Years Eve window-sill coins or coming by for dabs lol?
I was up that way the weekend before Christmas. Visiting Big Cat Rescue. http://bigcatrescue.org
Such a cool place. @Silver420Surfer have you ever been? It's in your neck of the woods.

Yes I have and very cool place.
I was driving around town one day, stop at a traffic light, stare at little pickup truck in front of me, and wonder how they painted that 3D tiger in the back. WAIT, how is that painting moving...oh shit, fucking REAL tiger in a caged pickup less than 10 ft from me. It was the Big Cat truck carrying a new resident to the rescue, or something. Fucking Florida.

Man.. if Mrs P knew that place existed, we'd be driving south.
Hopefully the USPS gods smile on you and you'll have your Auber goodness tomorrow.
Im hoping my flat coil shows up tomorrow so I can ditch the Infiniti e-nail adapter. I really feel like that is a subpar piece of equipment. Hopefully the flat coil and the original dish work better.

RC&G--That's right close!
I am going to go to the Post Office tmrw and pick it up, if not I'll be stuck waiting till around 5PM for it to arrive. Just gotta find an errlectric vortex carb cap(at a discount) and I'll be set.
Here's to hoping your coil makes it tomorrow!!
