Hey steeljan, glad to see it was worth a review :D What about the piper? You going to review that one or just put that one away :) I got my piper kit for my mother the other day, unfortunately she seems to be the type that has to have the auto battery shaped like a cigarette *sigh* oh well, Thanks!
@TheTrulyInsane Yes, I'm going to do a review on the Piper -- since you already got one for your Mom, you might want to know that the charger does not charge the battery fully, so if you have an old ego charger, use that instead. Use pg-only eliquid. And you have to push and hold the bulb for a few seconds, several times, to get any e-liquid to wick, really frustrating device.
@steeljan ahhhh, I was wondering why I couldn't get the 50/50 I made for her to wick properly. and that sucks to hear about the charger. I have a kGo charger, I imagine that will work..
@TheTrulyInsane Yeah, I like to use a device for at least a week before I review it, but the Piper is really trying my patience to endure the testing. I hate it when I get burned-atty taste, argh!! But yeah, all-pg juice and hold the bulb about 15 seconds 3-times or so to get it to wick seems to work, and then it vapes very well. Any 510 threaded charger should work that has the specs Output 4.2V 420mA, so if that's what the kgo uses, cool. I don't have a kgo or I'd look. Review in few days.
is it possible to make an atomizer/cartomizer? what type of wire do i use for the coil? ive tryed thin copper but it just wont heat?????
i have an old cartridge that the coil broke on that came with a "disposable" kit.. is there a way to rebuild a cartridge? with say the wires from an old toaster? lol im a tinkerer so i dont mind trial an error...:)
@Mr420ways It's a NiChrome wire (the coil)... you used to be able to get it at MadVapes. There are some tutorials on ECF, check the modder's subforum. Looks like a huge pain, especially when your eyes aren't so good anymore like mine (lol). IIRC, you have to cut the wire to the right length for desired ohms, wrap it around a graphite rod, solder it to connections with non-lead solder, thread a wick it's not a dripper. Doable, but very difficult.
@Mr420ways Yes, you can replace coils as well as build your own from scratch. Nichrome or Kanthal wire can usually be purchased on ebay. Or look in your local hobby shop for heating wire replacement for a styrofoam cutter. It has to be extremely small gage. You'll also need wicking material, silica string or it can be possible to use fine stainless steel mesh. You can rebuild an atomizer with no solder at all, actually preferable. Look in e-cigarette-forum in the modder section for a start.

@Mr420ways er, that's thread a wick IF it's not a dripper... you don't need a wick if you're just going to use it for dripping.
