Wire sizes are based on cross section. 16 x 0.2 would be equal to 0.8 mm single strand.
1 x 0.7 will be fine though not quite as flexible as multi strand wire and will be susceptible to breakages when flexed but fine if fixed in position and left.

Bandwidth capping sucks.
I only sign up for truly unlimited packages since 2011.

Try doing a couple of things, if you haven't already tried:
Firstly, after filling just locate the top cap onto the atty and turn it upside down with air flow open before screwing it into place. Else you will pressurise the system too much.
Second, do not open and close the air flow too many times. Set it to a position that is suitable to you and leave it set.

Some scenarios:
1 Does the battery heat up in the mod even without the atty? Most probable cause is battery is shorting. Most likely the switch or center pin on the top cap.
2.If not 1, does the battery heat up when you just attach the atty? Most probable cause is center pin on top cap is shorting when you screw the mod in.
3: Does the mod constantly fire when you put it on? Then switch needs investigating.
4.If not 1,2 or 3, does the battery is heat up when you are attempting to vape? Then:
4a: Atty is shorting
4b. If not 4a the battery is close to or above it's C rating . Try with a higher resistance coil.
5. Does the battery heat up outside the mod? Defective battery. Dispose off immediately by burying it in the garden and buy another or exchange it.

100% for the pioneering & indomitable spirit and vision.
It is that same spirit that has led to many great inventions and progress in the past and will continue to do so in the future. My hats off to the guy.

Yep.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25900542Dunno how market vendors are affected but a law banning sales to under 18's is positive in the sense that it strengthens the case that existing regulations are robust enough without unnecessary medical licensing. |

I doubt you can find it anywhere..It's a bespoke threaded ring that Sigelei seem to be using to pimp up their connector to have ego threads instead of the usual way of fitting a machined connector out of a single piece of metal.
If you have the know how and access to a drill press, you could cut and drill out a old ego connector and reduce it to just a ring with ego threads and then interference fit it as one possibility.

I rate the Mako highly for a 14 series battery mod. Get the Mako Maksi and you can fit either a 14500 or 14650 for a better battery life. A 14650 will give you more or less the same battery life as a 18500.
I have used 14500 and 14650 IMR batteries from Moju Republic and they are quite good. I think they are BDL.

Bargain Vapour 100ml is good can be vaped straight out of the bottle.
I am sure safercigs does bulk of Hangsen liquids and they sell different nic levels of RY4 in this. Around 1/2 kg if memory serves. But make sure you like Hangsen RY4 before you buy so much in bulk.
RY4's differ, considerably from brand to brand.

If you removed the O rings to clean before use then use the thinner ones for the tank and the fatter ones for the top cap or else it will leak. Makes no sense but that's how it works without leaking.
Far as I can make out:
Tank is 16 OD x 1.6 mm c/s
Top cap is 16 OD x 1.8mm c/s
Buy a few different thicknesses in 16mm and try but that's what I can make out after making physical measurements.

Probably for the best.Copper threads will wear out pretty soon, especially if he bolts on SS attachments.

Very nice...I made a couple of these from some spacers I found in the recycling bin. I think I gave one to chrisjw. Very useful for coiling.  |

Copper deck..No thanks..
I don't know who had the bright idea of putting swastikas on the top cap..Though they are the Swastikas used in the eastern religions as a symbol of good luck, fortune and auspiciousness, they have negative connotations in the West.
