The thought occurred to me that if some of us from this thread got together we could open up one helluva a vape shop. Have you guys ever walked into a shop and thought who orders for this place? They must not be a vapor. Man we have the good stuff. Not necessarily the most expensive but we know what works well! Not to mention we could definitely give out some good advice. ;):D
Sounds good to me. I just picked up some DIY supplies that could get us started. :D

so far that is the only SS i have used (316l).. what kinda troubles did you have? I do want to pick up some some 317l and am def gonna hit up unkamen 430 in the very near future.

Well, I have had TC issues with 316 and have found that I don't have those issues with 317L. I like 430, but I'm IN love with 317L. Granted, the only 430 I have is 28G which is way too thin for my taste. Unlamented does not currently have any lower AFAIK.

In fact, I'm gonna PM you and Steve. To figure this out.

Well, I vote for Cali! Sure it's expensive as hell to live here...but so far it feels like the heat is sweeping the other states a little bit harder...for now...

All jokes aside, maybe we can start a new thread for those folks that find themselves stranded. Where we discuss building, modding and DIY juicing. People are gonna need the help, sadly.

Maybe something like - You like to vape, well you came to the right place :D. I really like this thread because it seems like we just sit back and chat without craziness. Lots of good tips/ideas to try. Different, mods, attys, and even some DIY stuff thrown in. A very nice place to sit back and relax at imo.

Cheers,
Steve
Steve, what blows my mind is how long the batteries last at 125 watts.....:giggle:....:vino:

Love these mods, especially the ergonomics, feels perfect in the hand, either hand.....:)

Considering the cost with the DNA chip, it's a damn good inexpensive investment.......:bliss:

For sure we pay extra for the weather here in San Diego, I'd have to say it's worth it. Extra for the gasoline too.

No, I know...what I'm asking if you experience any accuracy issues in TC...sorry for not being more clear :)

Gonna give it a second try then

Not at all. I have tried a tcr of 88-95 for 316L. Just depends on the mod and they way you like to vape. Some people do remove the outer wrap of the SS clapton coils, that go under the set screws. Some people over think shit also:D

LOL, I was in a thread where people were talking about steeping their juice with heat. I told them if I left it on my dash for 5 minutes I'd be lucky if the glass bottle didn't melt. Talk about people that overthink things.

I always said steeping might make some juice taste a touch better but it won't turn crap into gold. If it tasted like crap when I made it, all steeping did was make it taste like old crap. I use to piss them off but I believe that.

They had some rituals that were hard to fathom. One time I told them I only steeped under a full moon while dancing naked in my back yard and chanting. The juice had to be a tub of hot water at 139.4 degrees being circulated by a prop turning 55.2 RPM's. They weren't amused, but I was laughing while I typed it. :giggle::giggle::giggle:

Every time someone said that to me when I told them how hot it was in AZ, I sent them this pic.

I live in Phoenix and this pic sums it up perfectly.

I just got back from Lake Tahoe, a place where it is refreshing to vape outdoors. I vaped outside today at the in-law's house and it was like vaping in a sauna. My vanilla custard tasted more like vanilla hot mess.

Just received my 28g ss430 from unkamen supply. Haven't had time to build with it yet but I will most likely tomorrow. It came with a sample pack of craft ring thingys as shown in the pic in clear baggy. No use to me but it's the thought that counts right? LmaoScreenshot_2016-07-09-23-57-50.png

cool .. let us know what you come up with.. figuring for myself to try fused claptons with a 316l wrap (cuz only thing I have in the right size) but for purity's sake am wondering how a 28/28 clapton would fare.. prob gonna be ugly as hell but just thinking for 430 claptons.. till i can find some smaller gauge to match

Considering they specialize in jewelry wire... o_O

I put a 4 strand chain of it in the Kronos.

So if it's made for jewelry, is it still safe to vape? Just curious because I'm still new to ss and learning tc. I'm assuming so because the unkamen ss430 comes highly recommend from this forum. Hope this ain't a stupid question.

From the site:
"No Nickel! This 430 Grade Stainless Steel does not contain any nickel at all, while many other types contain nickel which is bound and nonreactive, this is ideal for those with VERY sensitive skin as well as customers in the EU."

It's just SS430 sold from a shop that specializes in all types of wire that can also be used to make Jewelry. Mine is very clean, IMO It's as safe or safer than any wire we would use to vape.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks steve. Makes me feel more comfortable vaping it now. For a minute I was kinda scetch. I can't wait to get home from six flags and build me a coil. I have used tc with ss316L and didn't care for it
much. Hopefully this experience with ss430 is much better. Everything you have recommended to me so far has been a home run. Just waiting on my supreme to show up. I've learned so much from this thread.

Not stupid... yes, it's safe.

It's just a particular ratio of materials (give or take) that makes any alloy what it is.

The craft store Unkamen became popular with us because A: 430 is hard to find; and B: their 316SS deals are really good.
