    So I've been trying to think what I want to get while I'm in the States, and I was thinking I would get the parts to make one of these little welders for making NR-R-NR wires. I don't really "need" one per se, but it would be nice to not get that faint rubber taste from the Protank coils. The parts and shipping within the states come to around 25 dollars, I already have the soldering iron and extra doo-dads to put the thing together.

    Anybody else have any interest in getting one? Its just as easy for me to order 2 of everything as it is to order one.

    This might sound a bit cheeky, ryan, but bear with me.

    If you can find someone to buy this

    and help me to replace it with an iSmoka Magoo, where I don't have to shell out more than 500 Baht I will go halves with you on the zapper.

    Have a great holiday and if you have any spare cash at the end of it, Chili would like a bronze provari mini with red LED and I'd like that standard silver version with blue LED. :thank you::bravo:

    Is that an original or a clone?

    Also, I bought the parts already. Cost me 22 USD for everything. No need to go halves on it, it's a pretty inexpensive project, the wire is costing me more.

    Clone.

    I'm told that it will take time for the threads to 'gel', but it's a bit tricky for me and I've heard suh great things about it too.

    Yeah, I've always thought it was a hot mess. How much do you want for it, maybe I'll take it off your hands for when I'm bored of my gennys.

    For me, the thread for the inner funnel is a bit off center.

    i bought it three weeks ago for 1,000.

    I will swap for a new silver with blue LED provari mini...

    Or pm me and make me an offer I can't refuse.

    Thanks

    :cheers:

    I'm on my Chirstmas holiday and killing time looking at Todd's reviews and I stumbled upon this and thought of you.

    It looks a lot easier than a welder.

    If you haven't got yours yet, why not try this?

    Willl you stop changing your mind all of the time.

    First you want red LED, then blue and next week it will be green.

    Only a few months ago you said you were straight, then bi and now lesbian.

    I understand that you are an adult and it's your prerogative to change you mind as often as you wish, but please can we have some continuity?

    So I built the thing, tested it, and the thing is a little beast. Scares me every time I join wires, but the welds seem pretty strong. Took me about an hour to assemble. I can't wait to actually use it, but right now I'm enjoying the Kayfuns too much to mess with anything else.
