I bought a Petri 24m from 3fvape it's a very good clone one of the best I've come across and it is fantastic.They also have a 22m version that has gotten good reviews and if it is half as good as mine it's the real deal. I also can recommend the Goblin mini , great flavor tank,and low price for an authentic.
25mm Replacement glass in stock at VapeHyper for anyone in NEED. R79.00 EA

They over tighten them in the tank when you buy the sm25... and no lube makes then first one stuck like crazy.
Also the oring in the tank is much thicker thab the replacement ones. I broke 2 out of 4 tanks on first pitstop.

That's exactly what went wrong with his, I did not want to touch it when I could not lossen it and gave it to him to try and that's when he broke the glass

Happy New Year guys, hope it's a great one.
Anyone have an idea as to why a 24g Ni80 coil at 3mm ID 4 spaced wrap coming in at .30 ohms would be vaping fine one moment and after a refill read at 0.00? After rebuilding the same wire and ID with 5 spaced wraps reading 0.00 and then 0.36 after taking the bottom piece out and putting it in again?

Try a Goblin Mini... incredible flavour, tame juice consumption
Dirty 510 pin usually. Best is to get the atty to a jeweller or vape shop and give it 10 minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner. If you cleaned it just before it could be moisture on the 510 pin so take that out and inspect for residue

Thank you will check the pin and then try a jewellery shop or wait until near a vape shop again.
Dual 6.5 wrap weaver build. Almost impossible to get neat but absolutely top notch flavour. Still not quite a Mage but getting close now. At 50w I really cannot fault it running a mild cheesecake juice I got more than I bargained for really. At 65w enough clouds to signal the moon.
I tried 26g NI80 on the SM25 this evening.
Been using 24g and am trying to get a bit of a crisper vape. It's for Guava Ice which is my blend of Paulie's Guava with some added menthol concentrate.
It worked well. I did 7 wraps and used 3mm ID instead of 3.5mm.
Came out at 0.77 ohms.
Wicked with CB2
All is working well. And it is crisper than the 24g coil. Faster ramp up.
Am very happy.

I use N8024g 3.5 duals in my three SM 25's at .18Ω @Silver. Ramp up is not an issue at all on the Sigs setup to preheat then run at 40W-60W. The flavor is excellent with the DIY's I run in them (DLH's). But I do have N8026g 3.0 singles in my three SM22's. I still prefer the three Avo 24's and three Avo G's for the best flavor of all my many tanks, but the SM 25's and SM 22's are becoming solid backups for the six Avo's.
How did you get the 26g fixed in the grub screws? I struggle my ass off to get anything smaller than 24g to catch in the screws, just too small
I didnt find any problem at all @SmokeyJoe
I did it the normal way and it worked fine
On the one grub screw though I think I may have overtightened it a bit and may have stripped the grub screw - but luckily it was after it was tight enough.
Might give this a try tonight as well , found either SS or Ni is better for crisp fruity vapes .....
Up until now I have only tried 24g NI80 in the SM25
Its great, but has a rounder deeper sort of vibe to it. A bit more "rumble in the jungle". For me, works well with desserty vapes (which I generally don't vape) but have been enjoying a mix of CID and Debbie thoroughly in there.
The 26g NI80 is definitely a crisper vape. Not extremely crisp (like the 28g coils in other atties) but crisper than the 24g. Also at lower power - around 20-25W (versus 30-35 watts on the 24g)
Still have to get round to trying SS. Wasn't mad on SS in my BF drippers when I tried it for various coils but perhaps I need to revisit it again
I found the SS316 single micro coils work well in the smaller atties like the OL16 and Cyclone , with Rayon and with fruity vapes ... but we digress
6 wrap SS 3mm ID comes to around 0.5 and is comfortable low ohms for me , tried lower and it was just too hot for me .....
Egh remembered now only have 28g Ni ......
Build that works best for me is a 26ga SS316L twisted, 5 wraps (spaced), 3mm ID that comes to 0.34 ohms, Vaping at 35w-40w. Flavour is awesome IMO
Welcome to the forum @haruspex

Welcome , great first post , will try this tonight looks interesting how's the vape hotness wise ? Not a big fan of a too hot vape .....
@Daniel
Running it on Temp Mode SS between 380F - 420F (On the Nugget v2 and RX2/3) and the vape is not too hot. Can I say Medium?
Sometimes there is a slight spit back on the first few vapes / drags, but it soon settles and produces lovely clouds and flavour.

How many wraps did you do for .18ohms?
So I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with my serpent mini 25 which could probably be credited to a lack of experience and knowledge but I think I finally saw the light. During the day I carry my SMOK Alien with me in a fanny pack cause I don't want to destroy my gear in my pocket. Unfortunately the Baby Beast's handy filling cap system was not conducive to its environment and ended up with dumping juice in my fanny pack. Not a nice feeling grabbing for ur unit and discovering it's all sticky when you weren't expecting it. I needed a tank that would be able to survive my day without surprises.
Enter the Serpent - I tried a variety of different wicking techniques from a variety of different sources including this thread, even had it wicked by some pros, but all is well for a while and then the dry hits start. I watched all the movies and even bought the bacon but alas happiness was always temporary. Even tried TC with a SS build but no luck.
Finally, in a fit of despair, I pulled out the dual deck from its snug home, twisted two Ni80 9 wrap 2.5mm ID coils, bow tied them with Cotton Bacon, locked and loaded. Vaped it like there is no tomorrow - no dry hits - no sticky goo - tons of flavour - and clouds 4 days.
For those interested: 0.335 ohms at 40 to 45 watts. Gives a warmer vape than single coil but still bearable with only slight ramp up.
Next I'm trying SS316l dual coils in TC
