You managed to rewick the coilhead?
I did :) I made a whole new coil for it. 26g Ni80 6 wraps ( hmm may have been 5 ) but it's fairly simple to do.
There are a few other videos out there on you tube. I didn't mess with wrapping a piece around the outside either. Flavor is not as good as the mesh coil obviously, but it's really not bad.

I was curious how the wicking was holding up. I know @VAPEROXX made it work, but it still gives me nightmares.
Oh its not the profile. I'm sorry I was confused for a Second. It's an apocalypse rda. I guess what I ment to post was trying to photo the actual color shift from blue to purple. I'll switch that up.

I have tried a profile on a recurve and didn't really like it. Made it through a bottle but put it back on a regulated mod. Kept getting close to dry on a mech for me.

Looks like I misread you too and having the power of suggestion in my head, I saw it as a profile lol

After you said that it kinda looked like that's what I was meaning. It's fixed. Lol.

On another note though these finishes are amazing. He's got another with aqua and purple I'd love to have as well. Best tube mech I've ever used. The throw on the switch is perfect. On some tubes you get a side shift in the button. This one is solid except for the the inner spring and contact. I'm glad it's not still tax time. I'd be spending all my money on these.

How did I get started on all this stuff?

Yeah, the Overlord is another one that's killin me. I've looked into it pretty extensively. That switch really is a great design. Actually that whole mod is disturbingly cool and the custom finishes make them quite a bit better.

That and a Vindicator 21 are at the top of my at least vaguely realistic wish list, The Vindicator is supposed to be here Tuesday. Maybe I'll stumble over another guy who needs money and has an Overlord for cheap too. I can hope right? :D

I wish I'd have found a cheap one too. Lol. I believe I'll hang on to this one.

I would love to give business, especially to friends, and I'm certainly NOT saying AT ALL that guys like Jwill are overcharging. But there are personal realities involved here and I wonder at times if I'm not forgetting that already.

I've had some favorable providence lately and found some great deals on used stuff. I include that XXX, which like I told you, I use all the time. Like 5 minutes ago. :)

It may sound dumb, but I almost feel bad sometimes talking about deals on used gear.

I'm thinking about like a 30/36 Ni80 Clapton. That is really cool. A bunch of possibilities to play with. Thank YOU :)

This is best pod system I have used so far.

I also found a drip tip that well you couldn't ask for a better match, size wise, not so good. All the 510 drip tips I have and go figure, no blue that is thin enough to not look silly. Time to go look at fasttech I guess for a thin blue drip tip. Then wait 3 weeks lol

3 weeks?! You must have an inside hookup!!! If I get my orders in 4 weeks, I’m happy. It’s what I’ve come to expect from them and 3F.

I rebuilt the .6 coil last night and it was not that hard to do. It works, not perfect but I did it pretty fast. I think I can make a bit better coil with some practice. Oh, you just wait. A pod system with a rba deck is coming. I guarantee it! ;)
@gsmit1, Also @debinnv , I’ve been using the Mi One with the Joyetech Cubis (maybe cuboid?) RBA for a while, and it’s decent. I’ve only rebuilt vertical coils. Main drawback, if you leave it sitting for a while (especially overnight), it tends to spit a bit for the first pull or two. As long as you remember it, and burn long and pull slow on the first couple of pulls, it’s not a big deal. But no pods to replace, and I can wrap my own coils and rework when necessary with my own cotton. Definitely not perfect, I still find myself reaching for my Orion when I’m looking for that small form factor. But for CHEAP and “good enough”, Mi One with that RBA is where it’s at.
