TC doesn't necessarily eat up batteries faster, sometimes it gives that illusion because in TC you're prone to take MUCH longer hits. Unfortunately no, I'm native to Serbia, and I now live in Tennessee in the US, have for almost 10 years.

As soon as the two daredevils above work out the enclosure details. I guess it pretty much rules out TC?
On the serious side,@raymo2u , I seem to remember you saying that TC mode eats up batteries faster?
I don't really understand that part. I believed it saves battery, I'm using the Boreas at 60w and 500deg F. but in power mode I fire it at 84 watts. OK, don't call me names, I's too askired of them new fangled high volutin low ohm thaigs. I know I can easily go up to 135 w with it, I did it to prove a point, and astonish the people in the vape shop but routinely I stick in the 80's.
It eats batteries in Kanthal/xXx TC Mode...I think its due to how much it has to ping and calculate almost constantly while delivering the power..I dont use much else on it besides wattage mode and KAnthal/xXx TC Modes.

When you're in TC, you're prone to take longer hits than you would on non-TC settings because hey that's the point, no fucking dry hits, it's a wet Summer. Then you throw the spanners that are electrical ping, TCR curves and temperature monitoring onto a board, and the mean power draw goes up noticeably. This is why battery life sucks in TC unless you're vaping at like 30W-380F.

THANK you @raymo2u and @MNaumov92 , that helps me a lot in understanding this TC stuff. It does make sense that we tend to take longer pulls under the 'no dry hit' protection umbrella. After a few dry hits, I was ready to either stop vaping, or buy the first TC mod I could find. I am fairly new to vaping and am glad to have found this group. Granted, all of you are a bunch of enablers and trouble makers that guided, convinced, explained and helped me improve my gear as well as my overall vaping experience, and for that I thank you all.:sneaka::confetti:

We are on the same page brother! My coils from Ray should be here Monday & my G2 should be here Tues/ Wed! Feels like waiting for Christmas! How long do the batts in your G2 last? Will I be able to get a day out of them in Kanthal TC? I've already got 6 brand new Hg2s for it that I bought for my second RX & never used! Is there a G2 thread here? If so could one of you gentlemen post the link please?

I vape quite a bit....around 30ml a day. I get about a half day out of a set of batteries. I'm using those same batteries. Not sure there is a thread for the G2.

I have the Alleria due to a mistake by a vendor. I only used it once so far. I'm not a fan at all of the proprietary drip tip to control juice flow, and the deck is a bit smaller. If I had to buy one or the other, it would be the Boreas hands down. I'm not saying the Alleria is a bad tank, but personally I find the Boreas superior for ease of use and performance if size isn't a factor.
I have a CoV Defiant with extra coils if you want to swap:D

I dont think any of use likes its form factor or surface design....but you cannot beat its features or specs, especially for its price.

Im not a fan of 26650's...they are a step down in tech then 18650's and cant handle the same loads and discharging we use...but most dont understand that...neither do the companies making the mods.

Yeah I've been keeping my eye on the Hohm Wrecker, when I'm in the market next for a Regulated Mod this very well my be my next one. Ugly as hell, but like the features and the build quality looks solid.

As for 26650, I've been liking them. I have a couple of Tube single 26650 Mech's, a parallel and a series Mech. The performance is very good and the battery life is a major plus.

This guy I gave a deal on coils to is trying to nickle and dime me....Alien Framed Staples and Framed Staples for $15?? Really? I hate saying no and also dont like being taken advantage of...Its irritating that people do this..
He told me if I gave him a deal last time he would pay the normal price the next, I did that and even hooked him up more....then he pulsed a coil in pieces and I told him next time he ordered I would give him a free sets...now hes trying to take advantage of my kindness....I feel as though he will start shit if I dont give him what he wants but then again I dont feel like wasting all that wire and almost 4 hours for $15 minus shipping....

Send him the replacements and refund his new purchase. Your prices are already rock bottom and you should have no trouble whatsoever reselling his order at the asking price.

I love to haggle as much as the next gal, but hate it when people get so cheap it gets out of the realm of negotiation and into usery.

It's what we call chicken:poop:from a douche bag! I do chain maille jewelry for fun and sometimes sell a few pieces if I feel like it. People that understand how much work and effort is needed to produce that "wow" piece , will have no qualms paying the asking price. My reasoning is, If you have to ask the price and why it is so expensive, maybe you don't need it, or just buy the cheap look alike made in China or India.

Well he received his coils and destroyed one set and I said I would cover that one set next time he ordered...BUT I dont know him and he got the sale from the other day and since then has been doing nothing but trying to get it cheaper and more exotic ever since, while saying "next time" he'll pay the actual price...on top of that acting like his bills and problems with money are issues I need to deal with.....I really want to tell him dont order if you cant afford it, its not my problem that you have bills....but Im a bit more polite then that....but its really getting to me.

I build all the coils for each order, at the time of order....I havent made a set yet but him asking for this and that and telling me he cant afford it right now is getting me annoyed...why bother even asking if you cant afford the purchase now, why not wait until you can?

Move on, you don't need to deal with Stool Samples like this, don't worry about him talking smack. I really doubt people will take him seriously .............

You are correct. While I will haggle over almost anything (I'm ashamed to admit I even haggled at Walmart once :facepalm:) I will almost never ask when it comes to handmade art - or I if I do, I'm not rude about it. I'll ask, if the seller says no, I can pay full price or walk away.

In my estimation, your reputation is good enough to survive any smear campaign started by some broke whiner, who should be looking for ways to vape cheaper and smarter if he can't afford his habit.

Well I hope most people know how I do business already so I hope most people dont bat an eye about it but those that could in the future order for their enjoyment have it ruined because they saw him post some fictional crap...I've already screenshot the convo just in case he tries talking up a story...some people cant afford other places for coils so I feel Im dong a service to those that would try them at these rates and if they think something is wrong with that builder then they may never try them due to him or the cost of others...that would be a real shame.

Yeah but that doesn't mean you have to give in to what is essentially a veiled threat.

I am a small business owner and do a lot of business on the internet, btw. I've dealt with these types before. Some are even rich and well off. Screw `em.

Replace the set he destroyed and tell him you will not sell to him any longer!

Hell I wouldn't even replace the set he destroyed but that is me.

My feeling is that if this guy starts to complain about his Raymo coils, it will turn around and bite him in the:tldr:...well not goat but there wasn't an ass there! It will turn into a Grimgreen vs MN and he'll be in the Grimgreen role

I appreciate the reinforcement very much guys, its a bump of confidence :D

Even pornographers like yourself have to draw a line somewhere!

I'll tell ya what. I've been self-employed for over 25 years now and I've found that folks that go nosing around for a discount on already cheap prices are the ones you will spend the most time pacifying and making the least money on. They will suck you dry if you let `em. Then it leaves little to give for your good customers.

If he fucked the coil up it's his problem, certainly not your problem. People who try to take advantages of good situations piss me off. I'd tell him to take a long walk on a short pier.

I know but I told him I would replace it the next time he ordered...just like I would for anyone else. What came later is what started getting to me.
He hasnt messaged me back yet so I hope he started getting the picture that Im not just going to hand them out virtually free but something tells me he's just finding a way to get what he wants in a different way of asking...If its any worse Im just going to ignore him and post his name here lol

Exactly Lucy...I'm self employed too, have been since I was 18yrs old...able tell by the first phone call whether "I" want to do business with the caller, not the other way around. There are a whole lotta jackasses out there lurking in our backyards. I swear the older I get the more I run into these numskulls.

What ever price you negotiate and then pay. Is not the end of all that goes into the transaction

For the sake of argument you negotiate a price of $24.00. You pay. the intermediate company takes a slice of the pie. Say 5% - Thats $1.20.

So now Ray has 22.80.

Ray then pays for shipping - Minus another $6.50

Now we are down to $16.30.

Then the cost of materials and then the time.

Frack if you think Ray making 8 bucks for two sets of coils thats 4 bucks a piece, with all the time and effort Ray has to put forth in procuring materials, making the wire, making the coils, driving to the post office, paying for gas, shipping material and all that goes in to this is fair, YOU AIN"T RIGHT IN THE FREAKING HEAD!

And you get some kick ass coils in the deal.

My God. Some People really just piss me off!

Hell, Raymo, I've been getting smeared all over the 'net, and I'm still here. Tell him to stick it.
You have a Cult following though ;) Im not worried about myself's reputation but the rep of what I provide ad a builder...I dont want someone to loose out because what someone else says, thats what Im more worried about...
