Nice Blakey nice.
Scotts videos are great obviously, (and Is nice to see his new teeth and all). but I suspect a fair few people won't need to keep hitting that rewind button like I did! Detailed photos are something i thought about but lack the know how. You filled that gap brilliantly.

You wouldn't have thought it possible would you but of course thats gonna be the outcome! The heat is just gonna radiate eventually. But amazed not even a mark. Not even on the ceramic. Although the wick and coil were shot.

Cheers guys. I actually think that an off cut of wire had been placed on the wrong card. I got the wires second hand. The ggts doesn't seem to work with the smallest battery as a gap between the pins can't be closed anymore? Not with my ggts base anyway? The next size up I get the room for manoeuvre to close that gap to a contact? I dunno? Anyway Blakey I meant I owe you a pint! I am unsure I can get it any better than it is now. I LOVE that adjustable draw, it goes from just too tight for me to slack. I get it just a touch off too tight. Brilliant. My permanent home device with organic liquid. Can't be beaten. But we will see! Thanks guys.

For those that dont know, I've recently moved back in with mum, and I occasionally work nights. So this morning I get home from work, go out into the conservatory, sit on my settee and vape it whilst I wait for my mums fella to vacate the bathroom.
Anyway, I fall asleep and wake to Lucy, one of my yorkies giving it a tinnee weenee yap. A yap which I know is a "leave my food alone" yap which she usually aims at her bigger sister.
Anyway, at that point I realise the conservatory is reeking of vape. And I mean a massive smell. My eyes go open I sit bolt upright and poo myself that the dogs have got hold of my eliquid whilst I was asleep. Lo and behold, next doors dog had come to visit with its owner and is rummaging around my rucksack containg my eliquid. I'm immediately sick with worry. The house is stinking of vape liquid. So I grab my bag, grapple my box of tricks out and it's all there with the lids still on and my liquid is untouched? I was nearly having heart failure I can tell you.
So what's the smell? My ggts must have leaked when I fell asleep? I see it down the side of the settee, I grab it to check, and throw it across the room. I was instantly burnt!
It was as if it had been in the oven it was that hot. 2 fully charged batteries must have drained it out as it was left on and wedged itself down the settee when i fell asleep. Red hot. I had to wrap a tea towel around it to unscrew it and take it apart.... TWICE. I joke not, it was oven hot. As just with a single t towel was still too impossibly hot to handle. Anyway, burnt my finger that still marked now. Right in the crease of my index finger Moral? Don't fall asleep with device on. Anyway, after changing out the burnt coil. She's up and running and ceramic is unmarked.

Well I've got this working wonderfully now. Thank god. Cheers blakey, I owe you a point! The main problem was two things. 1. My wires are bloody identical. Very difficult as far as I'm concerned anyway to see the difference. 2. I wasn't getting a connection. The gap between the pins was to great. Even though I had the ceramic pin sticking down a good 6ml (at least as far as it could go, I dont think it was reaching. Anyway working a real treat now and lovely and tight. Loads of smoke. Very happy. So far anyway! Just a shame I've got pants liquid in it coz I was fed up of using my special stuff! Hopefully my kicks arriving tuesday, so will be even better! But a lovley vape indeed!

If you have an o-ring under the nut inside the ceramic then that should provide plenty of grip when you screw the center post into it? There should be another o-ring on the bottom of that post as well, that one provides the seal from the ceramic holder to the base when it's screwed in Cheers blakey, Well I failed to get it to fire up last night. Here is what I believe could be the issues. Moving away from scots video, I have to have that o ring positioned as you suggest blakey to stop that spinning of the pin. . I'm having great difficulty in seeing the difference in thicknesses of wires!? It doesn't look blatant! What do you think of the grades of wire I mention. 16, 20 and AL? One of those videos says wick ontop of wire both sides. The other says only one and the other side ontop to then complete the circuit with the nut that screws down the ceramic holder? My ceramic holder is slightly different in that the ceramic is viable on one side only. I was having to long a resistant wire. My joins were too long. I think my problem is amongst that lot! Many thanks

Hi people, Well I haven't got to get up early tomorrow so tonight I'm getting her fired up. So, despite the great videos, here's the questions not covered or I'm still not getting. I've a spare small o ring outstanding. Tightening the nut under the ceramic cup holder is impossible with the plastic washer fitted above it. It's just spins on contact. Pulling it, tensioning it, I just get loose spinning? With that spare o ring fitted here I can tighten it. The o ring is beneath that slotted nut in the centre. Is that ok, or better to have a contact but spinning bolt? Now looking at different videos, the wire needs to be lying on top of the wick running down both sides, or just ontop one side, and beneath the wick on the other side? Next up, on my packets of wires, I've got 15 gage, 20 gage, and appears the thinnest is marked AL? Which one is best do you think This is how much stickee outee I got? Many thanks yet again. Many thanks.

Tell your bank that you are so disappointed with this that you are seriously thinking about closing your account, if they don't budge then close the account cos that bank isn't worth a to*s if it's putting charges like that on you. I wouldn't hesitate > The bank informed me that all banks would charge this fee, everyone. and most would be more than the 25 rbs were charging. So total outlay would be 99 euros plus 25 quid, then potentially 16 euros tax on entering uk? However, an email from the company concerned informs me they will be accepting card in two weeks. I'd rather wait two weeks than pay 25 quid fees to a BANK. Hopefully, he will hold my order till then. We will see. Anyway, I got some tings I need to be doing right now and it involves some pieces of wire Well done to all those who are happily vaping now enjoy

It's ok, she's working! Woohoo, she's amazing already know its the best thing I've ever vaped on...wow Really glad you got it going! I'm gonna be firing up my ody tonight! I went to transfer the money from my account to the greek account and my bank wanted a 25 pound admin fee for any foreign transfers! I've emailed them to see if there is another way around. That 25 quid just pushes it out of my reach at this time.

Hi disel, Welcome! I see your from Swansea. Brings a smile to my face whenever I recall that place. Many many years ago I had a few nights out there in my navy days. I recal an abundance of alcohol and women. Great times.
