I've really enjoyed the Wotofo coils that have come with Elder Dragon RDAs. My guess is that they are either 2- or 3-core N80 fused Claptons.

Several different kinds available here for great prices. You might have something more "upscale" in mind, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy these if I were going to get pre-made coils. My conscience just won't let me spend $15 for a pair of coils.

Haven't seen those Aliens before, might have to give 'em a try!

I agree on the $15 a pair is asinine. However, $11 for 10 is just what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

A few days ago, I picked up a Kaees stacked RTA from the MFS clearance sale for $5 to get by while I wait on my aromamizer plus to get here from China (it should be state side in the next day or 5 as it is loaded up on their air post carrier now according to tracking).

Anywho, the kaees came in today so, after work, I mixed up some quick shake-n-vape juice and threw a build in the tank with the included fused claptons that came in the box and, I have to say, this little tank is pretty fantastic. The clamp system works very well and it is easy to build/wick. My sweet spot on the airflow is about half way open and the flavor is very nice. I'm surprised that I adapted back fairly quickly to a more open draw with this and I kind of wish I'd picked up more than one. haha

It does tell me I'll be very happy again with my a-plus when it comes in.

I also ordered a Luxotic MF kit (vw screen version) for $15 and a squonk easy refill bottle. The total came to right at $30 so I'm pretty excited to give that a try. I figured it's hard to go wrong for the price.

Also, as a side note, I have a good bit of nichrome and ss wire on hand to spin up various coils but am wondering if yall have any recommendations on just buying premade coils on the cheap. If not, I'll make my own but I wouldn't mind just having a tin of a couple dozen premade 3mm single or fused claptons to save the time. Also, I'm just lazy.

Good times. :)

For decent and cheap coils I like Coilology either N80 or SS. For good and cheap I like Advanced Vape Supply SS. They recently started doing N80 but I have not tried them yet.

Good for you. There's nothing to it, really. You'll start off trying too hard with flavors and mix some terrible juices but will eventually settle on 2 or 3 combinations that you enjoy.

I find mixing easiest when calculating based on 100ml bottles with 100mg/ml nic because it makes figuring your nicotine content simple on percentages.

Good luck and have fun learning. :)

I started mixing just one juice with only 4 flavors and It's still the juice I vape the most. I've since added 2 more flavors. One if in rotation and the other is still in testing phase. Both of the newer ones have 4 flavors or less. I may expand to more complex flavors some time in the future but see no reason right now. Besides that's whole other rabbit hole that will quickly negate any savings that may have been there.

I have no problem with the wotofo coils that have come with their atomizers. The only time I'll spend more on coils is when they are from some of the long time VU members. Sadly many of them aren't around as much. I hope they are ok.

I hear ya. The two I vape the most are only 1 flavor. Did you know pink starbrusts are apparently honeydew flavored? I figured that out when I first started diy a few years ago and bought a variety of flavors from the flavor apprentice to experiment with. I had 3 or 4 combinations I really enjoyed but for the last couple of years, it's either just TFA honeydew or TFA green apple. I like those by themselves so I just stick with them for the simplicity of being able to mix up a 50 or 100ml bottle in 5 minutes or less and they don't need to steep. haha

I've been trying to resist that damn sale at Myfreedomsmokes for several days now. Wish somebody would give me a buck for every time I've gone there and just looked through the sale stuff. I've had items in a cart half a dozen times now, but have so far managed to not buy anything there.

Did however buy a $9.99 Vaporesso Armour Pro from Everzon a few days ago (hope they'll ship it one of these days) and a $10 COV mod from Trixy, just could not resist those. I had been looking for an Armour Pro at a good price for several weeks. Never intended to get that bright-ass green, but you know what? A $10 wrap will take care of that, and $20 is still a great deal for that mod.

There are still a few items at Wetvapes.com that are bugging me. Smok Majesty kit, comes with an X-Baby tank (for which an RBA can be had) for $19.99, and an iJoy Avenger mod WITH TWO 20700 BATTERIES, for $19.99. Also (@Just Frank ) there are some neat old-school RTAs there for anywhere from $4.99 to $7.99, including Herakles Mini, OBS Crius, a couple of different Wotofo Serpents, etc.). I could drop $150 easily just at Wetvapes, and really, I just can't let myself do it.

LOL pretty much.

Well, he’s not that goofy imho. He’s pretty good with health related stuff, but the tinfoil stuff is an acquired taste!
The MS news has reported a lot of the stuff he released weeks ago, so I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, as far as it being factual.

That's just it, can't even tell. I think it's still in China, honestly. Never said that it arrived in the states, just said that it arrived to the airport.

You know with the quarantines and people not going to work in China, we may not be able to get stuff from them before May.
I know I sound like Cromwell now, but the timing is horrible imho.

I was looking at the different shapes, and actually I like #3, and Michelle, better than Rainforest -- any idea about their ID? I'm thinking Rainforest is a smidge too tall, since i already use the angled adapter to make sure I don't get hot spats on my lips, and it would extend too far in my purse. The shape of the "lip" on #3 and Michelle is most similar to what I'm used to, sort of a "cushion." I want something that's smooth and rounded but with that sort of cushion; no edges on my lips at all. Even #1 looks ok in that regard, but it's a little too plain, not quite enough flare to suit me "aesthetically." I think I like the Michelle the best, for looks... but it would definitely depend on how narrow the aperture thru it.

Andria

Is your adapter for 810 to 510 or just for your tight draw side ways DTs?

They aren't offering me anything. Just an email that says:
Dear, your product has shipped. Rest assured it will be delivered to you.

Don't call me dear. And it says it shipped, but im tired of waiting for a package that is clearly lost as it hasn't shown movement on the tracking number in 2 weeks.
They sent the same response to PayPal.

LOL I’m sorry but the “dear” thing cracked me up! I needed a good laugh, sorry it was about missing vape gear.

Well, last week, after using pod devices for over a year (year and a half?) and getting tired of them dying on me, I decided to get back to building. I picked up a couple of aegis legends after checking a few reviews and researching some feedback. At the same time, I picked up 8 25rs and an xtar charger since I couldn't find my old blu6 either. :/

The legends are a bit big but seem to be well built and function well enough. I couldn't find my old aromamizer plus so I ordered one of those since that was my old go-to and another rta (I can't recall which, but it is fairly popular for ease of build and vape quality, etc). I'm hoping I like it because I came to a bit of a realization.

Yesterday, I built my old o-atty with a single 26/32 clapton (that was a bitch and a half after having not built anything for so long-- it is NOT like riding a bike when you are dealing with capture screws and no velocity or clamp style deck. Lol) and threw it on one of the aegis legends. It vapes well but holy crap it has a lot of airflow for what I prefer now. I shelved it a couple of years ago because it was way too restricted for me but now it is a bit much. I was looking (and still am) for a cheap squonker to put it on with the BF pin in case I'm feeling like something open (for me) to drag on a bit.

The big realization came when I got home from work today. I dug around in the vape box a bit more and found an old kayfun 5 that was initially shelved for the same reason as the o-atty. I stripped, cleaned, and built it and damn is it good on the lowest airflow setting-- right in my wheel house now. I got kind of dissappointed when I jumped on duckduckgo looking for a kayfun 5 squared 25mm clone (the 5 looks awful skinny on the legend and an authentic just isn't in the budget after spending so much in the last week. Lol) to no avail. I guess nobody made one. It seems like tobecco or sxk were good for past kayfun clones but I can't quite remember.

I reckon if I don't find something else, I'll just keep an eye out for another used k5. haha

Oh, and I picked up another liter of 100mg nic base with the vote coming up. I'm on my last 100ml boston jar of 100mg base I bought about 5ish years ago. haha

Anywho, I'm back here with ya'll now. Lol

Welcome back! It’s cool to see old members coming around again. The Legend is a solid dual battery mod. Enjoy!

I just buy stuff and give stuff away that I do not want.
Not sold anything yet.

But then who would buy the cheap assed stuff I buy :D

Was offered $100 for a Pico Squeeze on another board yesterday though.
the panic is getting bad, obviously.

You have classic gear that’s really hard to find, Crom.

But they really were sold under those names? So strange.

How would you like to vape with a Detonator Mod next to your face?
Perhaps with a Terminator RDA on top?
names like that surely instill faith in the safety of vaping with the anti vape crowd.

Of course that combo would work best with an Efest 5000 mah 18650 and .01 gargoyle hoof coil.

Vape stuff has weird names.

I wish 18650’s came in real 5000mah versions, though! Lol
I use mostly single 18650 mods, but I’ll make do with 3000mah.

It's like they ran out of names - some of the names I've seen lately are seriously clownish - Feelm and Reewape really get to me for some reason

That last one sounds like Elmer Fudd's do-over sexual assault

I have even seen some 18650's claiming 9,000 mah. I think around 4,500 mah is about the top even for very low current 18650's.

The 3000mah Sony and Sanyos I have are okay. But I’ve got to keep about 4-5 mods in rotation so I can vape non stop.

Sorry about the meme, but you did mention .01ohms.

Easy to understand why they ran out of names with a new model coming out weekly for the past couple of years.
or even more than one a week with the pod craze.

A few years ago I tried to keep track on new vape stuff released.
I gave up a couple of years or so ago.

Heck there must be at least 12 different variations of the big beast baby prince tanks.

It's funny how timing has been lining up over the last few days. Yesterday, I'd posted about opinions on cheap pre-made claptons because lazy.

Today, lightning vapes has a great 30% off sale. So, $17 shipped and I have 20 fused claptons on their merry way. I almost decided to buy a 25' spool or 2 for $8 and some change each, but I figure the 20 fused claptons will probably last me for a year or 2. If not, I have plenty of wire to spin some up. Last night, I found a gallon size zip-lock bag half-full of spools of n80 and ss in various gauges. I knew I had some extra wire but holy shit. :huh: haha

I just happened to see this and wasn't allerted. Thank you though! I found some good stuff there! Instead of the magesty, I selected (the ugly) I-Priv because supposedly it can use dual 21700s. I also got some Herakles RTAs and Serpent SMM.

Y'all quit talking shit 'bout my two Detonators and six Voopoo mods and a Voopoo RDA and three Voopoo tanks.

The Detonators haven't blown up even once, and the Voopoos have not poo'd on anything yet.

I will be sure to let you know if either of those things happen.
