I'z confused. First time building the Xeta, or first time building at all?
Build looks great, just from reading I was getting you haven't built before?

that is the first coil "stick" i ever made. i have wrapped 1 wire coils before. now, making claptons, yeah, idk about that.
sorry if my terminology is wrong, i really don't mess with making coils.

Ahhhh, the first cold front, and soon to be second, has finally swept over the swamp.
Thank the Lord.

Favorite San Diego weather for me...

Basically from late September to 1st week of July it’s like this.

Few weeks here and there a bump to 80* and that one week at the end of January- first week of February we have 90’s

It’s funny mentioning turning the AC on during those weeks

Yup stupid Michigan. There's still leaves falling and snow on the ground! Looks like it'll have to be a spring clean up.

After I posted that I thought that might be perfect if you are a polar bear, walrus, sea lion, etc....Maybe you like being frozen all the time, and you're not hosed.
I threw my snow shovel in my neighbors yard when I left MO.

I'd rather it be summer. I don't mind the cold that much. It gets rid of all the annoying insects but I hate driving in it.

Yeah. I knew we lost before the game started with Stafford out. I knew our defense would make Mitch look like a god.

Stafford is a tough break!
Mitch looking like a god :giggle: :giggle:
Thing is he was much better last season when he wasn't a sole pocket passer, has been terrible this season.

Without Stafford this is an 0-16 team.

He literally hurt his back carrying the team.

Watching the Steelers... happy I don’t have to stream it via nfl discord channel.

But I feel I am watching a Steelers team being ran by high school state champion coaches.

Fitchner imo is a decent OC...but he calls some really bad plays.

I watch them on defense and I can call the Rams play based on the tackles feet...and the TE package...

I played FS in high school...and a defensive guy at heart...

Really wish this game was being called my Romo and not Moose.

Wish I had a mac now...

Only to run the new Jailbreak from Checkra1n...

The jailbreak is available on devices from the 4s-X no matter the iOS... not like before when it was dependent on your iOS.


Waits for Windows support... maybe I'll go to bestbuy and jailbreak my phone LOL

Shoot I remember I jailbroke my iPhone 4 with jailbreakme.com. It was ridiculously easy... it wasn't very stable IIRC. The springboard would go wonky and I'd have to reboot what seemed like constantly. I like being able to use Cydia though.
I'm sure it's better now... maybe I'll look into it when I'm do for my upgrade in the spring.

I’m still rocking the iPhone 6s; once the new jailbreak is available on windows I’ll go with that, rather than software jailbreak.

The new jb is done on hardware and not software, so once jb super stable like it was long ago.

Thinking of picking up an iPhone X though, big enough upgrade, still JB’able via Checkra1n and future proof enough for the next 4-5years.

Just don’t want to give up the headphone jack

I'm with the Galaxy Note crowd! I like the iPhones well enough (my wife has one) but I like the expandable memory in the Samsungs better!

I've been thinking about running my DL xeta with some 3mg nic juice. Not sure if it'll be enough though. Also not sure if the wicking could keep up using these VV MTL coils.

I have 18 120ml bottles mixed up for a couple guys at work. It would be nice to grab a bottle if I want to instead of having to make more juice.

My iPhone is 128gb...bought it at bestbuy in 2015 for $99 ...yup $99.

Even with 400 songs, random pics, videos, I still have 104gb left in storage.

I liked it when I had a Galaxy phone...liked the whole swap out battery and as you mentioned expanding memory, only thing I didn’t like was the duplicate points of apps...Same app launching points at
multiple places...also disliked the 3 button navigation.

Wife was a huge android fan and had them til she got an iPhone.

In the end both are great phones and do what is intended.

Ive been looking at phones from overseas that are android based, lower priced and have awesome stats and reviews...just finding ones with the right cellular bands to utilize Verizon’s network.

I've heard great things about Huawei's handsets. I was iPhone all the way until this last round of upgrades about a year and a half ago.
I like being able to download apps from outside sources and the overall flexibility of Android.
I just really miss my iPhone. So if I get one and jailbreak it is there and app similar to Cinema HD available through Cydia or elsewhere? I stream movies and shows with it combined with a Real Debrid account.

It should. I don't chain vape, but I do get 6 or 7 second pulls on my dtl setup with no wicking issues.

The one thing that I like iOS over android is the single button and swipe back.

The last android device I personally owned was the S5, wife had the Note 7/8 something before her iPhone and it annoyed the shit out of me always having to click then find the app, click app...probably just the way she had it set up. And why I like iOS...1 button, just fluid out of the box.

As for freedom to modify, android has always been more friendly.

If I could get an iPhone X in the body the iPhone 4/5’s came in, I’d be a happy camper. Best looking iPhones they ever made was how the 4/5’s looked

Do you DL with other things at a higher nic? I use 9mg in all my mtl's, 3mg in all my DL's. I feel it has about the same effect.

They xeta is the only DL build i've done in a billet box. I haven't touched any non billet box gear is probably 4 months.

edit: before the BB, i vaped 3mg at probably 60-100 watts, depending on the atty

Seems like it would be enough for you then. I guess you wouldn't be going through as much as say dripping though, so maybe not? I don't really do anything in the middle. Basically mtl at 9, or wide open dl at 3.
