WANTED: People for testing our new device

[Gitchy]

Defo get the replacements, or email me when you are about to order the VIM and I'll get some added to your order.

Hey mate. Thank you very much. Just filled in a contact form on the website and asked for replacements.

Edit: And coils sorted already. Superb service. I can see now why you guys are so well liked on here.

Glad im not the only one thats had issues with the .7ohm, recently bought a box and got tight draws so poked a tooth pick in and it improved but getting lots of gurgling and spitting but flicking doesnt help cos nothing comes out. With the one ive got in there at the mo if I leave to sit a while I get a few decent draws but then it becomes tasteless. Gutted cos they were awesome when testing the weevim

what batch number do you have? the spitting is down to either a bad coil, as in badly made, or the wicks over flooding. I think with these coils, they are tiny, if you ever take one apart, they are shockingly small, so it's a delicate build balancing the cotton and the coil well, they are definitely improving with each batch, and if you want to persevere with them, we can replace any dud coils free or replace with another preferred coil. I am still not sure why the 0.42 are fine, they should be more tricky, so looking into what we are doing differently with the 0.7ohm.

Hi andy, the batch number is 231.
The 1ohm coils needed a small amount of tweeking to get them to fire, so the markers on the tank slightly off but with these I can fiddle with it for 15-20 mins before I hit the right spot, its not just when inserting the tank, its every time I take the top off to refill

the newest batch of the 0.7 is 236, the connection issues have been fixed since testing, it was one of the things we updated. The wee VIM the silicone insert was not hard enough and allowed the connectors to bend and sometimes lose contact, the VIM in some units the spring would go, so the spring was upgraded to be stronger, we also made the negative connector on the VIM tank wider to allow for more tolerance. I have a wee VIM from testing that the connector is off a bit on, particularly when using the Turbo coils as these have a skinny connector when I replace the tank it sometimes doesn't connect, so I hold the fire in and rotate the tank until I hear it fire and it's good after that. It won't or shouldn't happen now that the fixes have been implemented, so it won't be present on the productions batches of the VIM or the wee VIM when it launches.

So im guessing by the batch numbers youve made a few since the batch ive got?
The .7 in testing didnt need any tweeking at all
Once connected they work but not well, whats causing the cotton to swell? Has it been changed since the batch I bought?
By the way, I didnt buy directly from the jac website as you were out of stock, I bought them from one of the stockist you have listed on the 22nd august

Yes several batches but not all adapt the build, batches are kept small when beginning production, so we can adjust if need be when we get feedback. The cotton swells with elqiuid, but that's not the issue. The cotton against the coil, is small (very thin) so if it's not wrapped around the coil perfectly it swells over the end of the coil blocking the airflow, due to the fact the coil is so small, this has to be more accurate in the turbo build. So any straggle or excess cotton can swell and block the airflow, it would happen with any wicking effective material. The coils are wicked by hand, so it takes the builders a while to get good at it and used to it, to know the balance of cotton, the tightness it would be at for good wicking and the position and size. So we are constantly feeding back to the production line, saying watch out for this or that, so each batch should get us closer to the consistency we want. We still do it with all our coils, and monitor any issues that may be presenting, but on something like the MTL 1.0 they are very experienced at making, and have very few issues.

@JAC Vapour not great pics im afraid (trying to balance my tablet and tiny coils) but you can see where the cotton has expanded a bit and blocking the coils

PS I dont know how I manged to get all those pics argh! It was meant to be 2

yes it's coming over the top of the coil and under the top leg, so they warp the coil, then bend the leg over and down through the cotton (to prevent a short on the wall), then wrap more cotton on top, if there's too much cotton it will expand out and block the airflow, I think I can see it coming between the leg and the top of the coil. It's a pretty hard build in a vertical coil, I've tried it.

They are super dinky, not something I'd want to attempt
