Havent tried it yet , gotta get some filler

At a push you can cut a strip off some cotton wool pads
- just be sure it doesn't get anywhere near the coil.
Burnt cotton wool tastes rank.

What happens if your name is hemmer ?

Well i watched the vid and looked for something to butcher. Nowt, got rid of all my cheap drippers so i made an eBaron copy instead out of an imist. Surprised meself how good it works. I will acquire a cheap dripper to do this as i really like how the spheroid and steam machine vape.

Quite right, if your missus ever watches that and sees what you were doing with her cutlery she'll probably bury it in you.

The centre pin from the stardusts connector is about 6-7mm too long, it sits right between the two coil posts and must be very very close to the coil.
Also i gave up on the silicon grommet to attach the tube to the drip tip, seems the grommet split when forcing them together. A small piece of heat shrink worked well in its place tho.
I also found that the pin sits nicely in a cheapo plated drip tip i have so I dug out the soldering Iron today and done the metal drip tip solder method. The little "T" collar was also in the stardust. It sat on top of the coil in the main tube.

So soldered the centre pin into the drip tip



Before I soldered the flange on the end I had to reduce the diameter of the pole to fit with a needle file and just keep checking the length of it by trying it in the atty with the drip tips o-ring removed and checking that it's length doesn't foul the two coil poles on the A7



Got the length just right , when the drip tio is fitted the flange sits about 1-2mm above the screws on the coil posts.



Just gotta get some filler now and give it a go

lol , yeah puffy chest and everything

Mind you , you can see my soldering skills are pretty limited

no worries mate, I'm gonna go in the loft 2morrow, I used to keep fish but only used to use the sponge filters, I'll have a rummage about just incase

[apostle51]

Right , Todd's been kind enough to send me some wadding but being the impatient type I am I robbed the wadding from a XL cartomizer to try the concept.



all snug.

Made a new coil with a loop the same(ish) diameter of the inside of the A7 on one side and a small tail that goes into the liquid well on the other :



works grand so far , I'm like a kid with a new toy

[Todd]

Brilliant, fair enjoyed that

[Mev]

did you patent the name ? i'm thinking if selling Toddoids..

[maccafan]

Will it be any different if you wrapped some filler around the central stem of a Kanger T3/any bottom coil clearo which has been rewicked with slighty longer wicks which run into the filler material?

yeah that would work , having a long wick go into the filler material but I'de need 3 hands to refill it without pulling the wicks out.

The reason I done the loop thing was because I've seen people use that method on the spheroid and tbh, after using it all afternoon , it's wicking great with the loop wick.

[maccafan]

Yeah, refilling could be an issue..

I keep thinking the Kanger T3 is filled like other clearos from the mouthpiece/top end..
