SS GGTS arrived today! Beautiful-looking piece of kit, shinier than a shiny thing. First-class engineering too, but I wonder if it really has to be this complicated?
I fitted an AW 18490 battery that was originally bought for my Provari (fits perfectly with the telescoping section fully closed), an LR carto, and a nice new silver ally drip tip. Fits nicely in my hand, and draws perfectly with the air ring open halfway.
I can see why Imeo has his fans. This one is a keeper.

Not really a problem - I've still got the Darwin sitting untouched on my desk, plus some atties to build...... I can "make do" with the Provari for now. |

Start charging your batteries (if you have them) Clockwork. I'll probably use shorter batteries in mine - not keen on the "telescope" look. I'll have to try and make a short carto tank, too. |

Bought one myself last night. What's the score with UK shipping on these? Rumblings over on UKV about some of the first lot not being delivered yet.

I tried blue foam, but I prefer imitation fluval. I think it depends on the thickness of your juice. They are very cheap, so try both, and see which you prefer.
You can try dripping with a standard atomiser and cartridge. Just remove the filler, and pop the cart off to drip.

The filler gets compressed, and gunked up with juice. You can wash it out, but I just replace it every few days.
You can get the filler on eBay. Search for "fluval". Make sure you get the fluval polyester, not the fluval foam. Fluval is a brand of fishtank filter, and the refills come in 2 parts - polyester and foam.
I actually prefer the "fluval compatible" stuff to the genuine article. Cheaper, too.

Good news - found another UK supplier for the terminals. Ordered 20 pairs - hopefully they actually have them in stock! Should have them for the middle of the week.
I'll be making 5 in this batch (base caps are done), 4 are pre-ordered, so there's 1 left.
The first dozen were sold at cost (time and materials), so the price is going up to allow for £5 profit to split with Christophe.
£32.50 inc first class recorded delivery.

AFAIK, the map tank and Arry tank are very similar (as are mine). Arry does a range of tanks to fit cartos and clearos.

Lilac - I'll add you to the list for the next batch. You are number 4.
As soon as I get some terminals, I'll be making some more.

I wasn't really ready to start a list, as I'm not 100% sure it'll go into "production".
However, if you want, I'll start a list and put you on it. My brother has already bagged the first one, and the second one will be going to a member for review.
Do you want to be on the list too, Ian?

RDA = Rebuildable Dripping Attie
RTA = Rebuildable Tank Attie
I've got a couple of working prototypes. Just need to work on the final design.

Yes, the Bulli video that blakey linked to is the way that I make the coils. A 70mm length of wick, folded in half, and an 80mm length of 0.16 wire. Use a very thin nail or large needle (less than 1mm diameter), and 5 turns of wire for a 2ohm coil.
