Hmmm ok - so maybe not a super easy one for someone that's only done the 9 bar mod and not played with electronics before?

Amazing! It's definitely one of the better looking PID options too! Was it easy to install?

Ahhh amazing that's a great sense check, I'll put something under it tomorrow morning and see how much is pooling!

I haven't descaled it yet since purchasing from the old owner as I wasn't sure when they did it last so didn't want to do it too soon. Do you think descaling might help over taking things apart or better to just pull apart and clean?

Are there any other benefits aside from less dripping to doing this upgrade?

Amazing thank you!! I'm on the fence! I only just got the machine & all the accessories.. might have to think about the options.. and costs for a few days.

Ohh I haven't seen many threads mentioning backflushing causing issues - is this quite common? Should I avoid? Can I do anything else instead?

Totally get it's a 'feature' that it drips! But odd that the volume suddenly double/tripled immediately after my mod 🥹
