Weren't they supposed to start selling them in shops? At least that's what I thought I read a while back. I guess the FB farse will continue for as long as people are going nuts trying to get one, when the demand simmers down a bit, they'll probably be available in stores.


Early 2018 was always the announcement.

Man I never thought of holding wire with pliers like that to wrap. Would save my fingers a lot

So I decided to give the Daedalus Pro a spin....my dumbass "saved" money by not getting the full kit. In retrospect, I should have. The upshot is that my Hadaly is sporting a 30g/38g clapton coil, 3mm ID, 6 wraps at 0.85 ohms. I'm liking it!


It’s just a drill. That being said, lightning vape’s Black Friday price on it was unbeatable for the full kit (saves you from having to lug out the drill)

Don't forget you're driving the 405 in the afternoon! That alone is worth a Haku!

Pretty confident in saying you'd never have to worry about either @raymo2u or @b_d_builders charging you prices like that.

Maybe I'll ask the wife if one of the family is into that stuff...they are in their 20's, most live in Los Angeles still...Me, I'd probably start driving there and end up at Lucielles BBQ and end up eating a full rack of Beef Ribs

Depending on whether she prefers MtL or DTL, either the STM or the KFL would be great choices; in fact, if she wanted restricted DtL or airy MtL, the STM can do that very well, my son likes a super-airy MtL -- finds KFL+'s too tight -- but loves the STM. And either would look fine on the sigelei; I always used a KFL+ when I used that mod. Be aware though; the 510 sits a little high on those, so there's a visible gap -- small, but definitely visible -- between the mod and the tank. The Sigelei also has Ego threads; it's old-school, when having both kinds of threading was absolutely The Shit. :D

What in the blue hells is an STM.
Sorry I been having brain farts all dang day...Cheers!

Damn dude you've got to be 1 of the coolest people I've ever met online.
This like what the fourteenth person you've just said (oh here's 100 coils no charge) to?
Man that is badass cool.
@Wicked Gene is also very frigging cool as well.

Thanks!


But they are just coils...plus it keeps the practice up on making them.

Also!

Not like I gave him 2 RDAs with coils installed and wicked

OR!

Enough Cotton to last at least 6 months!

OR!

140ml of juice

Needs some of my grilled pineapple bourbon barbecue sauce!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Grilled pineapple + bourbon with the barbecue = we get sauced! Yup! that'll work!

Though I must say I've stepped away from the hard stuff. I stick with home brewed beer and mead.

Vinegar based sauce w/ pineapple? If you want sweet, just use those Hawaiian rolls

Not sure what you’re getting at here. Not a fan of sauce with your pulled pork? Sweet (ish) sauce goes really well with pulled pork, IMO. Not so much with ribs or beef, but that may be just me.

Here's 2 YouTube videos for you.

The top 1 is from OhmBoy Josh and the Bottom 1 is from Sherlock Hohms.



Biggest part of making Aliens is getting the stretch of the wrap right...I suggest anyone who is about to try Aliens...do a bunch of practice 3" runs and make a bunch of decored wire pieces with different stretched lengths.

Next hardest part is keeping the cores from bunching...which doesn't really happen when you have the wrap stretched correctly ;)

Thus my suggestion from earlier! A video doesn't replace the actual hands on!

In a way, I'm glad I don't particularly want any of those mods though they are stunningly beautiful. It would be too f##ing frustrating trying to get one. I'm pretty happy with the Therions though I think they must be leaking or something:confused: I don't remember using this much juice before I started squonking.
I used to think people who went through more than 10ml a day were nuts.Hell on average I now blow through 30ml a day easy.Add in drinking and it is easily another 10ml if I'm stressed out double everything.When my wife first went in for surgery I vaped a 100ml bottle of Jam Monster Apple damn near bone dry in way less than 2 days.

Stress will do that.

Im a novice at this but when I make up a set of coils I wind 2 coils on one wire then when I go to use them I snip them apart.
It keeps track of matched sets.

Yep that's how I did up my triple twisted coils too.That is the best way to get twinsies!

I heard using a (key ring) helps...Cheers!

I've never made an alien coil.
If I started making coils again I'd be making simple triple twisted wire coils.
