Looking good! For a heavy steampunk look you can even put these on the pipe joins on the vertical and horizontal pipes:

(well, not that size, but you know what I mean)
Since you don't need them to actually "join" the pipe but more for aesthetics, you can even grind them in half (lengthwise) and glue/epoxy them on from either side.

Maybe on my next one. Gonna make a small one for my nephew
 
Ba-da-boom!

Going to swap out the silver topaz for this orange carnelian stone as the whiteness doesn't matchy match very well with the lights and copper theme.

Thanks guys. I'm real pleased with it. Only one issue. Trying to find out why the led chip has stopped working - may be a loose connection so going to test with another chip and heatsink as I've had some trouble keeping the chip soldered to the heatsink but one end comes loose at a slight bump. Other option is to use flux and I can only do it in the morning .

That's fixed. Swapped out with a more sturdy one and it's working now

My verdict?

50% less hot than my iJust S tank. Must be because the coils measure at 0.2 where my iJust is 0.3 to 0.39.

Flavour is really awesome .

Will I buy another Zeus Dual RTA ? Hell yes!!!
 
The only dislike were the drip tips - I'm using a resin made tip from @BumbleBee.

The airflow adjuster is awesome - too much flow for me so turned it halfway and that's better...

Edit: getting quite a bit of spitback so adjust airflow again to fully open. No spitback. Weird...

I saw you wick seems a bit thin or loose in the coils. That may be the reason for the spitback.

Finally, this is one tank that will stay in my arsenal
 
So far, nothing since opening the airflow. At first I tried thicker and it wouldn't slide in easily so I had to use smaller pieces instead
If the airflow is a bit much to your liking and the spitback returns, just wick a bit thicker. There is a train of thought that one must wick as tight as possible. My rule of thumb is to have it just tight enough to not deform the coils when inserting. The do move a bit but do not bend out of shape.

nice! i suggest moving the coils higher up, to allow more air to flow under the coil.

and try increasing the wattage a bit when you get spitting; this is juice pooling vs vaporising and just needs some help haha

@Raindance the cotton jamming is often, but not always the case :p cotton bacon prime and kendo swell ridiculously, and an easily-threadable piece of these will swell to your tight as possible specs. CBV2 is good on a tight thread.

Haha I pretty much figure that out with Cotton Bacon Prime.

I'm getting a strange taste from my peppermint crisp clone - tastes like I'm vaping candle fumes. Wtf. Lol.

Got ya about wattage. Doing 30w on Asvape Gabriel but 45w on the Cylon. Strangely the Gabriel is an 80w mod, seemingly more power than the Cylon which is a 218w mod.

I guess time to do a check on the Pico. Maybe tomorrow.

Sadly I don't have a decent camera for the tiny coils after I pulsed it. Would have loved to see what colours I came up with

Thanks @smilelykumeenit, I am used to using cheap and nasty cotton and only recently changed to CB-P. Appreciating the heads up. How does "to tight" cotton affect vape? Probably results in dry hits and flavor wise?

Thanks/Regards
