    Just gone red on the list :-)

    Ye'll have all the kinks worked out lads by the time mine turns up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭derra


    The Line arrived this morning with a drip tip included, hopefully try it later on this evening if i get a chance.
    Hope it performs as good as it looks.

    Also got some .20 Nichcrome wire and it has instantly solved the eGo battery problem that i had.
    I tried .18 and .20 Kanthal with this particular battery and it would just short out no matter how good i repaired the Bulli. It could only handle 4 turns of .15 Kanthal.

    Done a 6 turn coil there now with the Nich... and it fires up no problem :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭derra


    Should of called this thing the Hummer, ates the juice so it does :D
    Took me 3 times to get the coil wrapped properly, was getting hotspots but managed to wrap it correctly in the end.
    Have it going now @ 2.2 Ohms and 4.2 v on my Box mod at the moment giving me 8 watts.
    Works fine on the eGo batteries.

    The more i use it the more i like it, tastes great.

    Ya really need to be mixing your own juice to keep this running if your gonna use it exclusively !

    So far so good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭alec76

    no time to play with it tho :(

    Requires a bit of patience setting up giving plenty of time to oxidise the mesh.
    Burn the wire too and definitely use a tweezers wrapping around the posts.
    Keep the posts close to the mesh when wrapping around them, then pull them away from the mesh which will tighten the coil.
    The bottle with needle makes filling very easy.

    That's all i know so far really, gonna play around with it over the next while.
    Camera is broken so can't post pics of mine setup.

    Good stuff derra, sounds like it was painless enough to get setup......looking forward to it now....

    Yeah was alright, once ya know it takes a bit of time and effort.
    I would prefer to see posts with screws like the RTA to tighten the coil, but that's the way it is. Once ya burn the wire, it gives it a good grip.

    Only been using it a few hours so more or less my first impressions of it really.

    Have decided to stop following this thread. I think another sub forum for nerds is required:)

    I only want to have a nice vape, not go to Mars........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,715 ✭✭✭Gryzor


    Since this is the bulli thread, thought i might mention it again!! Couple of pics of it on the Don, in mini mode and regular. The ego collar fits nicely on it aswell to finish it off...

    How's the Don working out for ya? Looks the business Gryzor, as far as repairables go i doubt ya beat it for simplicity. Couple of minutes and your good to go. Have some more wick arriving tomorrow, will send you and Alec a bit in the post when i get a chance.

    The Box mod i have has suddenly stopped working and i'm using an eGo on the Line now which is probbably not ideal.
    It works but ya gotta be sure it is set up perfectly or it could damge the battery, luckily i knew it was ok before the mod died.

    The taste out of it is something else, it feels like a real clean vape.
    The second repair drove me nuts getting it right, kept getting a hotspot on the bottom and multiple firing quickly probably killed my mod :rolleyes:
    Ya can fiddle around with it and hope that it stops or go again and again and again :D
    After a few times though it will become second nature to repair and worth the effort.

    I sort of agree - this is like some sort of vaping sub-club. also maybe the name should be changed from repairable atty to repairing atty - as in most of the time seems to be spent tinkering with the things and blowtorches, metres of wire and mesh etc etc are required....

    This is a thread within a forum about a particular aspect of vaping.
    It's your choice whether you want to read or participate in it.
    Don't see how it affects the rest of the forum, never did before and no reason why it should now.

    Just don't bother reading it if it annoys ya that much :D

    Very unfortunate.... Is there any warranty on this mod ?
    Couldn't find the time yet , my line still waiting for me......
    Mechanical mods will definitely forgive you all those hot spots and multiple firing....Although i would have E1 error code( short circuit protection) on my Provari rather than rocket launcher in my mouth .....

    Best to do it when ya have plenty of time on your hands Alec.

    Will send him a message later and if he can do something for me, it's a decent little mod with a 3 Amp limit.

    Users are saying use the Line on a mechanical mod then go onto Provari later.
    Or maybe do a repair at 1.5 Ohms and use it at 3.3v on the provari was another suggestion.

    I have it at 1.9 Ohms now using the eGo battery, juice monster so it is lol

    Have to see now if i get the box fixed or is it worth getting something suitable for it :rolleyes:

    Looking forward to hearing how yas get on with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭alec76

    That's right ....Amperage Limiting, Short Circuit Protection, u can't underestimate those safety features .....And the mechanical mod got .....NONE

    Doesn't putting in protected batteries add this sort of protection to mechanical mods??


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    its putting alot of faith in the batterys circuitry though, and the type of batteries that need protection circuits are typically the potentially explosive ones

    well I say potentially, but it's pretty rare. just.. a possibility.

    Received the Line this morning, beautifully machined piece of kit. Looking forward to getting it going later :D


  • Posts: 18,962 [Deleted User]


    Hi - just wondering if anyone would have a bit of spare bits of wicking material from your Bulling - I want to try to use it in my imist. I can paypal to cover costs and postage. I looked at the german bulli site but not worth paying 7 euro postage just to get the wick stuff on it's own....

    Don't knock it till you try it, your heading in the right direction now anyway.

    Change wick and wire at your pleasure and your away in a hack at more or less whatever resistance you want to suit your needs.

    I may well end up getting one eventually alright - just having a look through this thread to get an idea of the thing it's difficult to make out what's going on sometimes! Think that I'll buy some bulli fibreglass to see how it works. That way I could reuse the metal part of the imist wick and just replace the thread material.

    Yeah it's probably a bit confusing at this stage going through the thread but have a gander anyway. If ya see a repairable ya like the look of, ask about it here and get a couple of opinions.

    I have a couple different types of wick here ya can try, send me a PM and i'll send it off on Monday to ya.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭derra


    Done another repair on the Line and it's rockin' :D

    Really starting to enjoy this atty now.

    The way Scott does it in the video is ideal, wrap the wire around the small post first, then mesh then second post.
    This way makes the wire really tight, put something in the mesh sticking out a little bit when winding to keep it's shape.

    May cut nic level from 6mg to 3mg on this atty, very effective nicotine delivery system :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,715 ✭✭✭Gryzor


    Struggling with this yoke lads, getting a hotspot on the bottom of the coil between the wick and the post, if i hold the button for longer than a couple of seconds, the wire pops. Wrapped around 4 coils at this stage, same result each time

    Any ideas?? :(

    Don't smash it against the wall just yet, i bet you feel like doing that.

    What wire are you using?
    I'm using Kanthal A .20, i believe anything less will make it more likely to pop.
    Have not tried it yet with Nichrome .20 which is thinner wire.
    Has to be wrapped tight around the posts, should not be able to move it easily up or down the posts.

    Check the resistance of the setup before firing up as well.
    I'm getting 1.9 0hms, Looking at 3 turns on one side and 4 on the other.

    I've had a couple pop on me as well. Gotta make sure the coil is fairly neat with sufficient space so that it doesnt touch off itself crossing over to the post.
    Don't have the bottom turn close to the base, should be up clear from that.

    When ya manage to wire it up and ya get a hotspot but stays in tact, just fiddle around a bit, push the post out a bit or in, hit gently off the wire with a pin, burn some juice on it.

    Stick with it.

    Did a new wick this morning, got up and running! Just about though, resistance is 1.6, 3\4 turns. All i can use is an ego battery, anything else glows at the bottom post after a second or two....provari E1's.

    Wire is Kanthal D, .2mm. Kanthal A is better i think??

    Edit (Some time later) After a bit of fiddling with the where the wire wraps around the post, got rid of the hotspots. Provari likes it now aswell...finally :-)

    You could use some wick from an old ego-w or something. Works well when its done on the ego-c and the iMist is the same set up from what I can see?

    The difference between the two is that Kanthal A1 can take a higher temp than the D.
    I just got it as they were all buying it for the Line.

    It is a bit of a pain to set up but the more ya do it the more ya will get used it.

    Ya may just have to read the Line thread on UKVapers and pick up a few tips.

    Poke at the wire etc, slight movements can cause the hotspot to go away as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭derra


    Alec and Gryzor
    Got some wick from Heavens Gifts that i was gonna send yas but don't think i will bother.
    It's 1mm and looks same as Bulli wick, but this stuff is stronger and does'nt seem to wick as well.
    I softened it with a yellow flame off the lighter and that helps a bit.
    6 turns of Nichcrome @ 1.8 on the eGo and it works but does'nt seem to soak in the juice as well, the coil heats up fairly quickly. (dripping)

    Will try it later and see if it's alright with the cartridge but don't wanna vape the Bulli that way again.

    Like a fool i got a load of it, cheap but probably no use to me now unless it softens up and wicks better :rolleyes:

    I have the same HG wick and was trying for ages to rewick an Ego-C atty with it....didn't work. Green Hornet gave me a tip of soaking it in alcohol so I made up a wick, put it vodka for an hour or so, dried it out and it works even better than the original. Maybe this might work for you.

    Cheers Bubba, will give that a try so.

    Hopefully it softens the wick as it's too stiff and hard, fecking fibreglass on viagra compared to the Bulli wick.

    Then i'm thinking was it treated with some sort of mad chemical:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭alec76


    I dunno what to do ... lost ... spent few hours trying to set up the line.. No luck... No matter how many turns of wire i did ( nichrome 0.2, kanthal d 0.20 , kanthal d 0.16 )-- multimeter and provari showing resistance 1-1.2 ohms


    194271.jpg

    194272.jpg

    faulty atty , i presume ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭alec76


    no, atty is fine... ( checked it with the regular wick on )
    mesh wasn't oxidized properly.... i guess . I leave it for now ....

    i look forward to hearing, in a couple of months when you've gotten sick of fiddling with it, how often you find yourself having to repair it

    does look awesome though

    I'm sick of fiddling with it now tbh :D Not the easiest thing to repair.
    Probably every couple weeks i would have to replace the wire.

    Keep saying it but it eats the juice.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    how much are you using a day now, compared to before?

    using about 3ml a day on my LT w/ chibi tank, you think you go through more than that? im not really happy to be using 3ml a day, it's gonna add up :)

    I would say you could double that amount if ya used the Line all day and maybe more but ya be cutting the nicotine strength.

    Before the Line i was probably at 2ml a day, 6mg strength, not sure really as i'm dripping into the Bulli.

    I'm using 3mg on the Line and 6mg on the Bulli.

    Probably averaging around 4ml a day now, i just use up whatever is neccessary tbh.

    do you mix / DIY your own eliquid (from your own flavours)?
    Of if you dilute 6mg juice with pg or vg do you only get 1/2 the flavour?

    Yeah i mix my own.

    Yep, if you dilute with either ya lose flavour.

    If not mixing your own, get some 0mg of the same juice to cut it with.

    Will post your wick tomorrow Glasso.

    This atty is very effective, a lot of users cut their nic strength. The Bulli had same effect too mind ya, but this even more so.
    Some were using around 10ml a day lol
