What did you get today?

[Don]

This envelope.



Which contained this little bit of bubble wrap.


Which, when opened contained this genuine GG button.


Pity it didn't fit the firing pin on my clone as the threads are different. I'd probably have to drop around 20 euros on a complete GG switch mechanism to use the nicer button.


My only mail today

But at least there weren't any bills

Nothing in the post, but, i did pick up my bosses trident v1 clone for nothing, no idea how it looks on the nzonic yet as i managed to get my cloud chasing setup drilled earlier.... nic headache from 10 puffs... on 6mg... woops

Ps. Gords. I hate you. You have my dream setup right there.

[Don]

Found I could get the firing pin separately from a complete switch. Hopefully it'll fit in the existing clone switch. Not too horrible a price, 6 euros half of which is postage. So even if it doesn't work, I'm not out too much - 14 Euros and pennies.

Which one? The trident or the double cross?

I got a few things in the mail today. An m7x0.5mm tap.....

A bottle of nanny bakes tiramasu concentrate

And most importantly a new kitchen tap to replace the one thats been pissing water everywhere for a couple of months. Now toni is pleased as punch

Got my Storm A RDA today! going to do a rough quick build while I am cooking dinner in a few to see how it works. Seems like it has a real airy draw on dual coil with all three holes open, which is great for me

Nice!! I hope it's every bit as good as it's doppelganger the Origen

Thing is built good, but I am having problems getting the coils/wicks set up in it. 

Just built like my 4th or 5th setup on it... think this one may be good.


The atty itself if built like a tank, great airflow options, pretty sure its silver plated contact. 

Its just tasting like ass. Maybe its from the soot from the Bic lighter I was using to heat and squeeze with. thought I washed it all off, but may not have. Thought it was machine oil, but I gave it a bath in really hot soapy water and a very good rinse under very hot water... 

Maybe tomorrow I will try cotton in it. But, either my cotton is not good for attys, or I just dont like cotton


I am still new with rebuildables, so I am sure it is operator error somewhere along the lines.


My phones dead ATM, but once its charged a bit I will post a pic of it on the Roller

Hey, Pulsar, before you soaked it in hot soapy water did you remove all the deck/post screws and strip it down completely then soak all the disassembled parts?  I'm guessing you did but not everyone does and the oils that hide in those threads can pop out on you when the coil and screws get hot.  I'm also assuming that you do a real good preburn of the coils after they are set up to burn off any oils and impurities from the coil?  Aside from those two things I can't imagine what could possibly be causing the bad taste.   Keep us updated on how you are getting along.

I just checked tracking and it should be like Christmas for Ol' Mac.  3 packages from FT are due to hit the house containing the following:

Astro mechmod in brass
Astro mechmod in SS
Fatty v3 RDA
IGO-W3 RDA
Flat top-cap for ChiYou/King in brass
Flat top-cap for ChiYou/King in SS
3 drip tips (acrylic)
Poldiac replacement tube (possible entire new Poldiac)

Can't wait to get home and open them up! 

[Pulsar]

I did strip it all, except the center post... Probably some oil hiding in there. I heated the coils with a bic lighter to hear and pinch to tighten them up, ran it under hit water and wiped it all down, then pre burned the coils probably a dozen times before wicking them.

The taste is all but gone now. Just a little hint of ass. I will probably twist up some 32g kanthal tonight and do a dual coil with that, see how it works out
