When you fill your tank flip it upside down, wait a second then close AFC/JC. Then fill it, open to your selected AFC/JC and take a draw....no leaks when filling using this method and you can fill it to the brim.

If you fill it like a normal RTA then most people experience leaking after filling it...for a long time after..I think its from the pressure the juice in the tank puts on the juice in the well and wicking area....if you relieave that pressure then its more of a stable vacuum in the tank.

Good Im glad, its my favorite RTA so far, I hope you find the same thing using it ;)

Thats alot of Notch Coils!!!!
They're pretty great, I do hope they make more variety though. I'd love a .2Ω one, the .26Ω that came with my Theorem works well on my tube but I wish it'd pump a bit more power. Anyways, they're nice and heat up pretty quickly even at lower power.

When they make them in 3.5mm, around .1 Ohms and mill lines into them horizontally I might be interested in trying them

Guess what Im working on now ;) ( Im actually going for 6-8 Core Staggered Single Coil tomorrow...this was just a test!)
It is a PITA working with these small as wires making Staggered...I usually like using a mid 20's gauge for Cores and mid 30's for Clapton and Fuse wire....I used 36N80 for the cores and 40N80 for the Clapton and 42N80 for the Fuse Wire...Its about the size of a 2x26g/36g Fused Clapton and its 4 Cores! Ill post more pics after I wrap it up and Ill post size reference pics and crap also...

I told you guys the Beadalon Spool Tamers make this easy...its almost magic. I only messed up a couple spots from going too fast but if I went slow Im confident I could of done it flawlessly the whole 8" length I did.

If you get those spool tamers all you would need to do is point them so they follow the wire and hold your drills button to make normal claptons and point them at a 45 degree angle for perfect spaced claptons...Im so glad I got them!
I have never seen them. Will you show me what they look like. I am always pleased to do something I can make myself.

I noticed while coiling it I screwed up and actually broke a fuse wrap twisting too much....can add that to the flaws I guess..

4 Core Width per wrap is the same as the 3 Core I did yesterday! Also propped it up with the Groove Monster from earlier.

Just ordered a 3 pack for my high gauge wire and some 26 kanthal. Wanting to build some coils for the NC with 26 but the only 26 I have on hand is n80.

Have been thinking about my next build for the NC. Going to use the indestructible. Going to use that for: 3x24k/40k. Do a 14 wrap sleeper build at 3mm. According to stream engine that should get me sitting around .46 ohm. Should be nice for the NC I hope.

Thoughts?

Hehehe sure Ray!!

It's really pissing me off that it won't come off. I'd crank on it but I don't want to damage my Petri.

LINK for Spool Tamers, I only have them on the wires I use for outer wrap, you can buy a 25 pack of the for around $16 HERE if you want to cover all your spools

Wish Ida seen that a couple days ago (or known about it anyway). I bought some from Sweetvapes. Theyre UD branded but look like basically the same thing. Think I got 5 of them and it was about $12-$13.

Grab some duct tape and tape your pliers jaws and get a good grip, then put a pair of scissors or tweezers into the holes in the crickets top....then it should untwist with little force...its becuase you arent getting a good grip so it you need much more force to spin it.

search ebay for everything before I buy it, usually I can find it in the USA, cheaper, and have it in a couple days...I only "BUY IT NOW" also.

I got this tool with my Tres Equis, it's a freakin lifesaver. Basically a giant staple that's stiff and fits into the holes. Anyways, to replicate that, try needlenose pliers or something that can fit in those holes to hold it stable while you twist the petri. Tweezers might work, but I'm always skeptical about the strength of ceramics. Maybe dismount the coils first so you have the posts to grip? Anyways hope it helps. I wish the NC came with this staple tool, it's amazing, almost worth the cost of the Tres Equis clone I got.

Gave this whole staggered clapton shit a try. Saw a tutorial posted about Staggered Fused Clapton wire and gave it a shot (wasting a ton of time and wire forgetting that I had a whole damn roll of premade clapton wire). Fucked up bad on the stagger wrap, didnt really think about the spacing, just kinda fired the drill and went with what I thought looked right. I forgot that all the pictures I see online are blown up 100x, so the spacing was way far out. But meh, its still fun to try. Ill try again tomorrow with proper spacing. What kinda spacing are you shooting for with a stagger? Do you want the stagger wire sitting on every groove in the clapton wire? Skip one? skip a few?

1. Make a long length of staggered (single spacing) clapton wire
2. Cut it in half
3. Fuse the two halves together with a wrap that goes in the spacing
......yep, thats it. It is pretty easy but it looks purdy, no vape advantage over a straight fused clapton that I ever noticed though.

Boil some water and just dip the nc connection. It may expand enough to relive tension on the threads

Well...I cant wait for a Goon the size of my Mason!
Ive never seen anyone do more then 6 Cores (Maybe it was 8)...So I wanted to push the limit to 9. Ive been blown away before looking over Twisted Messes and M.Terks 6 Core Staggereds for the longest time wishing I could pull one off and since Ive been making 3 core and then a 4 Core yesterday I wanted to see how far I could go with it....Im sure I could have done a 12 Core but the 9 Core already doesnt fit anything but the Mason 40mm....Maybe Ill make another and Dual it!

After posting this I saw that Dave_The_Builder posted a 10 Core Staggered a couple days ago...what a buzz kill...Fuck it I may do a 20 core next time just to make damn sure it the more cored next time..
