Really didn't mean to insult you but I know some of these things got weird after software issues cropped up. You have to hold in buttons while doing stuff to get it to work, basically have to hotwire it on every startup and then it will work if the gods woke up in the right mood :). I am...
Was wondering about something. If this is the start of KUIville, will we be pronouncing it Coo-eyVille ala Tannie Stienie from Balade vir 'n Enkeling, or more of a KoeiVille? Any ideas :)?
I can see it now, all clinical, little mod lying there wrapped in plastic and then you hear Mod Dexter firing up the dremel.. And we cry, but it's cathartic and when we wipe our tears the Vape is somehow sweeter for the horror we just witnessed :tmi:

Also had to experiment a bit but I think you are right, go easy on the cotton. Also, it is quite important not to use a tight coil. If you can find some Jap cotton, use that, otherwise make sure to gently stretch the cotton before putting it in, seems to make it wick better. Good luck...
Quick update on this: been using the rebuilt coil for a while now and yesterday a friend gave me some Japanese cotton. Where before (with organic cotton balls) I could go to about 27w before getting issues, the new Jap cotton easily handles 35w. I'm not sure why but it just seems to wick better...
Let me state emphatically that I don't endorse what I did here :). Do it at your own peril, but I like it. If you do this and develop heavy metal poisoning, don't blame me! But then again, if we can't trust the Chinese to use harmless materials, who can we trust?
So, I'm using only my rebuilt...
@Derick, do you think Smok would consider shipping a few of the little upgraded circuit boards out here for us? Would be much lighter than shipping our devices :)
