Got this second hand today. Dunked in boiling water, rebuilt it, filled it with DIY Capella VC juice and realised how much I missed this atty. Wow, I mean WOW. Blows the Terminator/Nautilus out the water. Already on my second tank within a few hours of receiving it. Trick with this atty is to fill the channels half to three quarters of the way with 2mm wick and hold your finger over the airhole whilst filling and fitting the top cap. No gurgles, no leaks and not a single dry hit. Looks brilliant on a Provari to, so thanks Ash for the kind offer and good bargain. Cons: The stainless steel quality ain't great. Most probably SS 303.

I have a couple macca, great atties. No need for any wick in the channels mate and when filling just remove the drip tip and plug the hole and remove the tank from the base. Works a treat.

What I do is a double loop similar to above (so 6mm wick at coil) and leave the tails long and wet the wick and tuck in the tails into the channels and trim them off about three quarters of the way.
Stops the juice from shooting up the channels when pressurizing the chamber and keeps the wick wet throughout.

Im getting a simular vapour production from both the Dream and from my Terminator/Nautilus/chody/copy but find if I chop away at the chody it gives a warm vape once its structure gets warmed up. I cant manage to get a warm vape from the Dream, have you any tips?

I love these atty's.....I use the filling method that blakey showed me & it works every time......I've got two now but would definitely buy more. Didn't think I'd go back to a silica wick, but this changed my mind. I wick mine by making an 's' shape & coil round it & snip off the surplus after.

I cant manage to get a warm vape from the Dream, have you any tips? By it's very nature the Dream is not going to give you a warm vape like a top coil but I can't say that the vape is cold. Though I get similar amount of vapour from the Chody, the Dream certainly gives out a better flavour. More intense is the word I would use. All I can suggest is to up the voltage or down the resistance as much as you can without getting burnt hits and to get the coil glowing hotter and to form the coil in a U shape by shaping it after fixing it to the posts so that it is closer to the mouth.

Ive only just made coils using res and non-res wire this week, your post has given me the inspiration to try it in the dream and see how far up the chamber I can take the coil. Going to be tricky avoiding shorts and twists, but its something Ill have a play at.

You're going to use res & non-res wire for the coil & run the coil into the chambers?..........or am I reading that wrong?

Yes, he is planning to attempt to put the coil on no-res stilts so the coil is higher up the chamber and closer to the mouth.

Im going to lift the coil as close as poss to the outlet at the top of the chamber. Its only about half a cm, the use of non-res will keep the glow at the top where I want it, and not extending down to the post pins. The coil is already in the chamber Im just going to lift it, Ive only One chamber surrounded by the tank, hope that clarifys it a bit.
