Well? weekend is here ???
No.1 on the list is calling his marker

lol, How's it coming along steve?

All the parts are now made. I just need to dismantle and ultrasonically clean the donor clearos to remove the flux residue that the Chinese leave inside, then the build can commence.

I'm at work this morning, home at 14:00.

Mine came yesterday, looks exactly as I expected to. Haven't had the time to build it just yet but will have a go when I get home from work.
Q- 1 wick and 3 holes, is there any particular way that this unit should be wicked?
Once coiled does the wick just drop through the holes into the bottom of the tank or should it be routed over the center air tube?

This may help:




It shows the configuration using Bulli wick. The main wick with the coil wound around it is 2 strands of Bulli wick. Pokes down the 2 holes closest to the terminals. The secondary wick is just a loop that pokes out of the third hole, and helps to keep the centre of the coil fed with juice. This one is optional, but if you don't fit it, plug the hole with a short length of wick to stop leaks.

You can do a similar thing with the wick I send with the RTA, which is made from 3 loosely wound strands. Wind the coil in the centre of a piece about 70mm long. Fit the coil to the terminals.

Before you poke the wicks down the holes, unravel one strand from each end. Feed the 2 remaining strands down each of the main holes.
Take the 2 unraveled strands (one from each side) and feed them down the third hole.

You could also remove one strand from the wick before winding the coil, then fit the wick the same way as in the Bulli pic - 2 strands for the coil, and one strand looped for the subsidiary wick.

Hope that makes some sense!

Perfect sense mate, just making sure I wasn't missing something, will fire up this beast later
Jason, throw a bucket of water over griz- get the bugga mixing

I had a few mins at work so I quickly wound a 6 coil wick at. 2.8ohms, bit fiddley getting the wick through the holes but the whole thing took about 10mins. Soaked the wick and left the thing for 15mins. Fired it up and - well -

Initial report - Every bit as good as I hoped it would be

[clockworks]

Get a small pair of tweezers - makes feeding the wick down the holes a lot easier.

I second that Blakey
It's absolutey superb I've used nothing else since I got mine up and running yesterday, tons of flavour, vapour and throat hit, it's a big thumbs up from me, can't see me using my A2-T again after using this, money well spent,
