Yea I dont really condone use of Chinese wire it "may be" what it claims to be but with their warehousing and business ethics there you'd never know if it was stored with lead....All the coils Ive sent to people are made of Sweden Smelted/USA Milled Sandvik wire. Its high quality, clean and lasts longer and has better heating results over all. AVS manufactures* their wire inhouse and Im pretty damn sure its just as high quality if not better.
I love Kanthal and N80, and Im loving SS....different strokes for different folks but Im not complaining...
You ever use K.Bee SS? I've been getting my wire from KP and Crazy Wire. KP has only carried 100 ft spools (just started 250 ft) and I see K.Bee has 316L in 1000 ft spools. Crazy Wire has been jerking me around with my last order also.

Yea I just got some in to practice with for AVS, its clean and they spool the wire up nice but the price is what worries me with K.Bee wire and Im pretty sure it comes from China, this is why I only offer KP wire when I shell out coils to others...
The "Practice Wire pile is growing....I need some sort of Spool Holder...

On those big spools I just stabbed a large crochet kinda needle through them all now they sit together on it and spin freely

I was thinking something like this with labeling!

I have them. They're all right. Not a fan of the slash cut. These are my personal favorite drip tips from FT.

I didn't think I'd like the slash either, but tried it on the Boreas and it is perfect for me - much to my surprise.

I don't like it on other attys but on the Boreas it super works for me

I like the angled because I find most wide bore attys too big for my mouth.

With the angled (muffler I think they call it?) I get the benefit of wide bore but don't have that "say AHHHH" feeling when I put it in my mouth, lol

Friction fit drip tips are the only kind of third party drip tips I even use, I now own several. The only time I use stock drip tips is when they're non-510 wide bore because no 510 drip tip can compare to a wide bore in my experience. Like the Griffin 25 drip tip, damn I wish the Boreas had a wide bore.

The only reason why I enjoy them is because with no o-rings on the tip, there's never a worry of o-rings breaking and needing replaced. Plus friction fit tips seem to fit better.

I am eagerly awaiting a head to head vs the Supreme RDTA.
I like it better than the Supreme.... I have the black version no markings, no lines, no dots, no branding..... And no leaks. There is a secret to get no leaks..... Poke a small amount of cotton into the juice holes, I use the Allen wrench... This will slow down any extra juice that wants to seep out through the holes.... No leaks guaranteed.

No leaks guaranteed can be had simply by wicking it right, one wick tail over each juice hole and the very end of the wick tails overlapping between the juice holes but not overlapping over the juice holes themselves, poking them down into the holes in all actuality would just make wicking less efficient and lead to a possibility of dry hits during chain vaping. Another good idea is to trim the wicks from the side reducing their volume, in larger diameter coils this is basically essential for efficient wicking.

People really just don't understand how to properly fill it from the top, since there's around 2mls that pools in the bottom of the tank that isn't even visible through the glass section, when you unthread the top cap, depending on what the airflow/juice flow control setting is, it could disturb the vacuum which will cause a push of excess juice up through the holes of the deck and cause leaking. The best way to avoid this is to flip the tank upside down, wait for the excess hidden juice in the bottom to drain from around the deck, close afc/jfc completely, then open it just barely to take off some of the pressure, then fill. You won't get 100% capacity doing this, but it's leak free. The only way to get 100% capacity (to where there's not even so much as an air pocket in the tank) and avoid ANY leaking is to bottom fill.

For some reason the knowledge of how RTA's and RDTA's wick seems to be lost on the masses, juice doesn't just flow upward because that's how you need it to, a vacuum pushing the juice up is how the wicking in RTA's and RDTA's works, it's also usually the same thing causing them to leak.

Sometimes wicking it perfect a drop 0r 2 come out of air holes..... Since pushing the cotton not a single drop.. I put it standing up in my back pocket with (3) airholes open and Vape every 45minutes while working and nothing comes out....... Wicking properly and testing and playing with air are all factors, this was a small fix that will work. There might be some newbies out there that will try it. This is not a fix for the perfectionist specialists out there. This is a simple tip..... ;)

There's a manual in the box that explains how to fill it without leaks.

Just saying, and my method never leaks unless I just leave it on its side with the airholes wide open all night and even then it isn't much.
