I would buy from temco if they had 38g SS, looked and couldn’t find it, just personal preference I won’t do outer wraps of claptons with anything lower. Atomizer wick has been good to me, even though they are often out of stock on a lot of stuff they make up for it giving me free stuff and discounts.
Just like buying rolls of plastic pipe. Longer rolls cost more because it is harder to get an unbroken length.
would you charge 4 times as much for a 40 inch piece of alien wire vs 10 inches?
breakage in long lengths of fine gauge wire during manufacturing is not uncommon.
Not my intention, I was speaking to websites and people who sell coils full time. Not full time job lol but you know what I mean

Yeah I noticed the 1000ft was the best deal. I put a 2500 in my cart and was like, what the....... for our application buying multiple 1000ft rolls works just fine if not better anyways. I don't want to have to hold that while wrapping and I definitly am not respooling!

Thing is the premades from China are getting so much better these days that unless your making it because you enjoy it it's just not worth it.
Last year I bought a few sets of hand made coils and really enjoyed the vape from them, but this year after trying some of the newer China premades from the likes of Geekvape and vapor shark I realised that buying expensive hand made coils or even buying some kit and making my own is simply not necessary.
Obviously if your really wanting some fancy alien/staple etc etc then sure China's not gonna provide but fancy names aside, when it comes down purely to vape quality I don't think anything more than a Fused Clapton makes that much difference to the vape.
When does a coils complexity (and price) become more about Instagram pics or personal challenge/achievement than about the quality of the vape?
Is a hand made Ni80 boutique alien/frapton etc etc gonna vape better than a premade China coil using the same guages of wire...probably yes ..but $10 better... I think not!

Coil Porn has a life of it's own.
Well although I don't agree I also don't build coils for Instagram. I build them because I can build it to exactly what I want. If I use a coil for awhile and I think wow that's almost a perfect vape! Just a tiny tiny to warm or not warm enough (splitting hairs I know) but I can make my next coil almost identical but just a little better always striving for perfection.
Also most china premades are either all kanthal or at least some kanthal and I don't like the taste I get from it. I'm using high quality wire and I know exactly what's in it and where my coils have been.
Lastly when you make a really nice alien or fused it can last you a really long time where I found the pre mades to only be good for 1-2 re burns before they done.
Not that I have a opinion or anything
Edit- Also it doesn't cost any where near $10 more if your making them for your self

I agree with this
And the few SS premades from China I've tried were oily and hard to burn off the crap
yet another reason I like the simple coil life.
But not running down anyone into the exotic coils.
I have this cap comeing for the haku i hope it pairs well with this dam neofet im not sure what my mod is gonna look like anymore

Did you get the red one in the middle that looked white?
I'm curious at to why you choose not to go below 38g... ?
Anyone see the Gas Mods G.R.1? Looks really interesting. Looks like it will be $27.99

Nice!
How did manage that? I haven't seen then posted as a list other than "coming soon".
I may be confused but yes.
Seems like I recall a pic of 3 neofets...
A white one in the middle but someone said it was red...

Yeah, looks a lot like the Type R rda
Cool, my proteus is back in action after getting a couple new doors from Enushi (510 leaked and ruined the door that came with it). Now just need to polish the bellcap

Aye, keeping an eye on that one.
Yeah I saw that the inserts were aluminum. If we use aluminum top caps I’m fine with it. I asked if it could be used without them entirely. I’ll let you guys know what I find out.

I got the black with brushed alum top bottom and faceplate then was told it could be all done in black top bottom and faceplate then seen today that he cant do the front plate black so it will be brushed and im not sure the color of the black top and bottom if its gonna match the mod or be glossy and the mod a dull finish so i will end having a mod with 3 diff blacks i dont even no anymore

I'd buy that for $30...not sure how I'd like the AF changer-roo thingy-ma-bobs though...but looks to be a nice .37+ RDA
I agree. I really hope you can use it without the airflow inserts.

The black metal wont match the delrin, no way of that to happen
Can get close, but he already posted the black parts and they are a semi-gloss if I recall...as for the face plate, the parts in his latest pics look to be delrin also, as the white is, and well ultem is ultem albeit polished or not I asked if I could get it without the 67 moniker on the face plate...rather have it unbranded myself.
FYI OG Recoil Squonk RDAs available on RecoilRDA.com for $25 plus shipping... use code GrimmYoc to get 20% off... knocks the price down to $48 for the Rebel that comes with a Squonk pin

I can't see why you couldn't? But how leak prone it becomes without them can be a major factor. Doesn't look like a lot of clearance from the deck to the AF bottom... so much promise with that RDA in aesthetics but that AF could kill the whole deal...
I feel you. Not complaining since I scored an emerald green cap and ring for the haku as a leftover from Dillon. I didn't even join the group until after the last mega list was already closed so pretty happy about that.
I got the 4 caps and rings but wishing i would have got the neon green cap to i have the green vikset but the nn is more green where the vikset is more clear

As electricity travels the path of least resistance, the outer wrap wire really isn’t part of the circuit/affect the ohms of the coil hardly any, it adds mass to the coil drawing heat away from the cores like a heat sink increasing ramp up and making the coil less efficient.
The higher the gauge/smaller the outer wrap wire the faster the ramp up, also smaller gauge has much more surface area to mass compared to lower gauge wraps, which is argued by many to improve flavor. Most will agree 36 or higher, Being I use tubes a lot and want the fastest ramp up possible (hate purging) I just prefer 38 or 40.
It’s all subjective to a degree, and may be splitting hairs, but I can tell a difference.
Sounds logical. Thanks for the explanation.
Thank you.
Anyone know where to go for contacts? My Orca came in and I didn't realize he doesn't include the contacts so I need to hunt some down.
He suggested contacting SteamBlade but all I can find is an instagram page.
Can't wait to put this together, 20700 DNA75C. Not much bigger than the pulse.
Side note, the China Haku caps holes are a little undersized. Had to put a dremel to them and match the RSA hole after this pic.

Oh man! I’m so jealous! I’ve been wanting to build a regulated Orca for couple of months now.
For contacts I think you’ll have to use some copper sheeting to cut up into a couple small squares I’ve seen most use a spring solder to a plate for the negative. Hope this helps

Scored me a smoked and cherno green for the haku but he said they won't be rdy until perhaps Friday. I don't know how the bloke gets any caps made answering all our messages but he gets an A+ for communication. Thanks
Found these in the US, everything else seems to come from europe

It's been a LONG time since I bought another atty, but you talked me into it.....My B2K T.R.E.A.M. deck has shipped, stoked to be putting a second B2K in rotation.

I just ordered the B2K caviar edition. What is the TREAM deck?
