Well, fooooey, the Chineese now do a copy with the twisted lid too. Be on the alert for copies. The airhole doesn't line up with the wick, and they are chrome covered brass, no seriel number or signature, etc.. The real DID's are solid SS and the airholes line up beautifully, and have a seriel number and perhaps signature. Just a headsup so you don't overpay for a cheap knockoff.

I haven't kept track of where the creators are located, but some of the Rebuildable Attys to research on are: Hellfire (hehehe, good luck getting one! They're *the* prize catch) Cobra Bliss Aviss Sperhoid (I can never ever spell it right, but it's the best one for tobacco flavors) DID is in Italy Iatty is Italy -

He expects it to be released between now and Christmas, so keep an eye out on it! Strata American made? There's lots of them out there! ReosMods.com for one. Awesome bottom feeder, and when married to the Chalise or ERA or soon BFDID, it's unbeatable. (bottom fed atties). Rob, at Reosmods has been working on one too, so it shouldn't be long before his hits the market. (but he seems happy with the Chalise for now, so it might get put on the back burner). The Chalise, ERA and BF-DID are out of country. American made. The Zenesis and all of it's offsprings. The Zenesis attys too. These should be showing up in stores soon. (some have, but they sell out first minute so far, of course). Z-atty-U for any 510. Z-atty-P for Provari ... Z-atty-G for GG's.... Nice attys!!! The hybrids themselves are made from topnotch materials such as surgical stainless steel, titanium, etc.. -

Precise+ from superTmanufacturing.com in all sizes, is unbeatable in performance and craftsmanship. Soon the Strata atty will be released by them as well. The Strata is completely unique, a game changer! There will also be a hybrid P+Strata for those who like all in one, and then he will release the universal Strata for those with any pv -
Congrats on quitting smoking!! It sounds like you're ready for a mod? There are many out there to choose from. Most of them are pretty large, in order to hold the larger longer batteries. The Precise+ in 18350 size is dainty, super well made, (top craftsmanship!!), has a special berium connection that gives a harder hit than most 510 mechanical mods, and if you have enough spare batteries on hand to charge in a nice Xtar charger, you'll get along swell. They're at Super T Manufacturing http://www.supertmanufacturing.com/ They also sell for top dollar if you decide to sell it and get a different one. Another,nice one is the Piccolo, but they're a little harder to find. Long and slender. The eGo-Twist is a wonderful battery! It's the size of an ink pen, yet it's variable volt! They're very affordable, and the main stay for newbies and Veterans alike. I would go with the Twist while researching other mods.

That's great news!! I wondered how you've been faring since we last talked. Congrats on your new coil experience! Isn't it nice when it gets easier and easier to build!

Here is the video by the DID people at MMvapors This is the way I set mine up first try, and it worked beautifully. (the way he coiled before inserting)

Here's a tutorial on how to oxidize the wick, using the Jack Frost method. A lot of people use only this method, and a lot of us use this method before moving on to the oxidize/quench steps that Scott (igetcha69) teaches on his other videos (Hellfire video).. Using the Jack Frost method, and then moving on to the Scott's Basics method, might be overdoing it to some, but not to me! I like over-doing it.

haha, don't be embarrassed! They're new to the scene this year. So many new gadgets, it's hard to keep up! These are so popular today, not just because they're readily available on his website, but because they perform wonderfully. Already peeps are drilling a 2nd hole so they can do a U-ey wick set up, and others have replaced the nuts with springs so they can do a twisted coil wrap... they're versatile to the modder, and quite perfect as they are for the rest of us. They are now the favorite copy of the Chineese too, buyer beware! Even the copy's are selling like hotcakes. (but they don't have twisted caps neener neener). Put one of these original babies on a Caravela, and like one poster said, it turns a work horse into a Dressage horse! Made for each other. P+ is a perfect match too and so forth. (they come in satin and in polished). The pics on the net are beautiful!!! Especially Dspins pics. Absolutely beautiful! Eventually you won't go a day without seeing at least one pic of these, somewhere in some thread. You'll be in the "know" now. Thanks Kitsune! I'm glad you're enjoying it! I found these during my last FDA panic attack. When it's not the FDA, it's the politicians! These are the beast, great way to beat the Zombie attacks, Armageddon. And, a nice everyday vape too anyway. I'm so glad I found it. The biggest problem with them? Ya' can't just have one. They're like potato chips... gotta go back for more! One for each juice. lol. oy! The SS mesh wick is Food Grade or Corrosion resistant material only. I believe they call it T-304 and T-316. Those two are the safe, and easy to work with SS meshs. The sizes we get are 325 and 400. The 325 has fewer threads, for VG, and the 400 count is great for PG, but they both wick well for either one, to be honest! It doesn't really matter which one is used, in most cases. And, it's never brittle. The only way to make it over brittle is if it's torched too hard, like with a powerful torch. We use the stovetop or small kitchen Chef's torch types to torch the wicks, and they oxidize beautifully. Using a Multi-Meter after torching the sheet of mesh being used, will assure a perfect setup. I haven't used one yet, but plan to. So far, I just re-torch if I get any shorts. You can tell a short, by lack of vapor, flavor, or a metallic taste. Sometimes, just turning the wick a bit, will get the coil off the hot spot. Most mechanical mods now have the fire safety springs. If your coiling shorts out a mod, it will collapse the spring. (even Store Bought atties will occasionally short out and collapse a spring!). Just re-torch the wick, re-coil, re-spring the mod, and off you go! (a good DIY'er will always have extra springs on hand! I better go get me some!) The Provari is excellent. It won't work if you're using more amps than it's capable of. It will give you the error codes and what not. It's a great one for teaching one how to make the perfect wick and coil. Once it's working on the Provari, it can be used on anything with a safety spring. They've come a long way! They're so easy-ish to set up now, and some, like the DID, are true workhorses, worthy of it's popularity. (beware of copycats! but even those will probably be decent-ish lol). oops, another book. sorry! I'll do better next time. Promise!! And, I'll be carefuller which mods I put it on. Thanks for the headsup!! I doubt if my little Twists are strong enough... amped high enough... oh dear... good thing I have a Roller coming!

Scott (igetcha69) has a review!!! Here's the link: NOTICE... when Scott starts to put it together, in his right hand he holds a stem that he will screw into the base. NOTICE that the stem has a tiny o-ring on each end of it. VIP to know where those tiny o-rings go... see! my promised post, short and sweet, just like me. lol

Good idea! I'll try later to get another thread going with all the particulars, including the tutorial videos. As for your questions: Regular DID holds 3.0ml (it's a 3.5ml tank, but you need air space) MINI DID holds 1.8ml (it's a 2.0ml tank) and costs They are both 87euros (about 103 bucks). They come with wire and SS mesh... enough for about 8 wicks ... and the wicks last months! Coils vary from user and juice, but most coils, after you have the hang of it, last a few weeks to a few months. (like a good 306!). The resistance is up to you! The fewer the wire wraps, the Lower the resistance. The fewer the coils, the hotter the vape. The more the coils, the cooler the vape. Provari's, and other VV's, like a lot of wraps. Mechanical mods enjoy fewer wraps. Flavor and vapor are outstanding!! But, as with ANY genesis type of atty, it will vary with your wrap of the day. UNLIKE store bought attys, where you are stuck using the wrap of the day atty, these you can uncoil and wrap it up better! Or re-oxidize your wick better, or season it... They are built to last for forever, unlike the store bought attys that last a few days to a few weeks. (a few months for some, but seldom considered an avg). They do have breakable pieces, such as the center post can break because they are thin (as with any genesis attys!). Always having an extra one or two on hand is good. Spare nuts too. You are now a DIY-er!!!! DIY-ers always have extra parts on hand. and yes, you can also purchase the clear tanks if wanted. The DID wicks tremendously well. The best wicker out there! It has a large wicking hole. This allows for wicks inside of wicks, called double wicking... etc... even the regular wick wicks fantastically. If it doesn't, it's user error! There are checklists for users... is the wick touching the sides of the hole? The cap? The bottom of tank? (you want a NO or you need to correct that minor detail).... It's all a fun learning curve. The cap is twisted on, you'll never lose it! wow.... okay... ask a girl a simple question and you get the book!! lol. I'm such a chatterbox!!! Sorry!!! I'll contain myself in the next posts! (I hope)..

MM logo stands for Metal Madness, the official name of the DID's store at e-vape.gr The nice logo is now on all his attys. The special inscription "To my friend" and his signature, is only on special editions to those who have helped posters get their attys up and running, or, like me, who love them so much and have become non-stop chatterboxes about them lol.
