Let's keep the Smok RPM 25w Alive! ✌

Hi Smacuser, thanks for your response.
I'd say deck rebuild involves a bit more creativity & expertise, but rebuilding a commercialized coil is not very far off from it I feel. It involves opening and cleaning the coil body, choosing the wire (mesh or coiled wire), and installing it with wicking (choosing the cotton type, density, etc).
I guess at the end of the day it mostly boils down to semantics & common/standardized definitions, isn't it?
For myself, having done both, I'd say rebuilding a commercial coil is a bit more simplified, but it's still a rebuild nonetheless.
Long ago I used to rebuild coil heads for Pro Tanks and Nautilus. Have to say that was much harder than making my own coils for decks that were designed for that.

Random DIY mixing and More

Good evening. I had to do a Sams Club run tonight. I was disappointed that three of the items I needed are no longer carried in the store. Two I was able to have shipped and the third they won’t even ship which is the vitamin zero water I take with my lunch to work. I grabbed a case of propel to try. Everything else has way too many carbs for a drink.
Good evening, hitt. :) Sorry you couldn’t get everything you wanted there.

Just for clarification, these are drop-in prebuilt coils. Rebuilding a coil entails winding a coil from wire, screwing it onto an atomizer deck, and manually feeding cotton through it for wicking.

China is without a doubt the world's dominant brand and sales leader, it is and will always be.
That said, there are Chinese brands that try to step outside their comfort zone, it's just a bit of a rarity these days.

A hobby vapor is someone who has vaping as a hobby, pods & disposables don't bring anything new in terms of experience to the user.
Mixing your own juice and building your own coils makes you a hobby vapor, so technically you are a hobby vapor with what you say.
Thanks Tor. And what do you think those companies could do to better cater to the hobby vapors (that they are not doing enough)?

So is olivenation any good?

I just bought stuff forgetting I now lack a band saw to cut the roll into strips. Argh. I am SO tired of add… while decent lengths of scientific filter paper are crazy expensive (I usually hang em on my wall) there is apparently a BUNN industrial coffee maker for which whole rolls are sold. Still pricey, but the best deal on Amazon. I was intending to cut it into six. (You need length but not width) Maybe I can borrow the use of a band saw…
