By the way. Small thing but I always place a folded up toilet paper small piece in the top right hand side of my folded roller towel. For discarded wicks. So I can chuck that away and keep the roller towel for the next piece of work.
Funny how one keeps to the same habits for years.

And how is the vape ?
My word it's glorious!!
First few vapes. Very crisp. Slightly drier than normal. Flavour is so direct. This is high fidelity flavour!
@Naeemhoosen , your juice is flying. So tasty!
Am enjoying this. Will see how it evolves over time and how the SS coil behaves.

Wicks cut and tucked. All lubed up. O ring also lubed.
Ferrero Rocher in background
Ooh this is exciting
Ready to rumble
That does look rewarding of a ferrero.
Just out of interest Silver. I have found the easiest way to do a dual coil on the ol is to remove the grub screws completely and then push the coil into position and then tighten them before cutting the execive wire. It works and makes a dual coil mount very easy.
Whay do you do?
Thanks @antonherbst
I loosen the grubs until just before they come out
I then put one coil in and pull the ends with the pliers until its quite close to the posts, then i fold the legs behind the posts to keep the coil roughly in place
Then i do the next one (its not very easy to get the second leg in, takes a few tries with careful concentration and my headlamp on. I really need that magnifying light thingy that @Andre and @Rob Fisher have.
Then i hold both screwdrivers close to the posts and tighten the grubs slowly. As i tighten it pulls the coils a bit. Then i position it afterwards to get them the right height. Only problem is if they not equidistant theres no easy way to adjust one without affecting the other one. I have found that if they are the same distance from the posts then they tend to glow evenly. Otherwise its a mission. I still need to perfect that.
That would also work and maybe i must try that next time around when i do a dual coil.
I mostly do a single center mounted coil just a little higher than the posts work perfect for my vape style. And we each have a way to mount the coils that work. Each time i learn more about the coil setups when i recoil. Its fun.
Oh its glorious and crisp
Just checked the atty now on the ohm meter
Its still 0.28 ohms
So thats 15 amps if batt is 4.2v. Ok for the chocolate LG HG2 but i wouldnt go lower
About 60 watts or 30 watts per coil. Its cooking!
Vape is a tad hot on second drag. Maybe i can go 7 wraps next time.
Loving this in any event.
@BumbleBee i think it could have been you that said SS is crisper. Gosh. I need to try my menthols with SS more seriously...

Have to make new coils for this.
Going to go with something simple.
NI80 26g Kidney Puncher. 2.4mm ID. 8 wraps. I estimate duals will come out at about 0.4 ohms. Let's see.
Here's the first one

Looking good. Waiting on your feedbackTime for pitstop number 2 and to try a new juice!

Coils are in. Measures 0.3 ohms. Thought it would be higher.
Coils should probably go a bit further away from the posts toward the edges but it will have to do.
At least it's glowing evenly

Next up on the pitstop list is the Skyline
It's going to need a new coil and I am going to try with the largest air disk to see the airflow.
Pity it's not easy to try different air disks without messing with the coil.
Anyhow. Will try first with the largest one. I think I have the third largest one in there.

Well done @Silver!Right
BB pitstop done
It's working well. No leaks. And it feels less spluttery and less snap crackle and pop. A lot smoother like I remember it before.
Thanks for the tips @TheV
Happy camper now
I'm really glad it helped and that you are getting a better experience now
Personally I don't think your wicks were too short. How you had them before is how I usually do them.
But the important thing is you have it up and running and you are happy with the result.
Quick side question, not seeing a condensation plug in the photos, do you have one?
If not I'll bring some spares to the meet for you
Lol thanks @TheV. The reason I redid it wasn't only because they were too short but I wanted to pack even a bit more cotton inside.
It's all working super well.
I haven't noticed much condensation in that gap hence I haven't needed condensation plugs. Also when there is a bit of moisture I just wipe the back of the bb door. But it's not much at all. After a tankful it's a tiny bit. Not sure if I need a condensation plug? But thanks so much for the offer

Winner winner BB dinner! Happy to hear it is working well @Silver.
Regarding the condensation. I also don't get too much, I do a little cleanup whenever I refill if I have something handy.
I really don't like the little bit of moisture on the door, so the condensation plug helps for that.
And if you do get a serious juice dump, everything goes out the air holes and not inside the body, all over the control unit and battery contacts.
I'd say its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it
I'll definitely bring you some
