Yeah, they are rather pricey... Tbev is a member here at ECF who switched to supplier status when he started making mods. He's working on a DNA200 mod with a LiPo battery right now. Not sure how much he's asking for those. He does straight mechanical squonkers, too. They are VERY durable... one guy dropped his when he was on the gokart track. Ran over it and dragged it along the pavement. The thing still worked, then he sent it back to Tbev to be reconditioned. Polished it all back up, and he's still using it.
And yeah, rayon is all I use anymore, too. RDAs, RTAs, Squonkers... I haven't found an atty yet that it doesn't work in, and the flavor is almost as good as the cCells! As for wire, I mostly use 26g NiChrome. That's my go-to for flavor and ramp time... cools down fairly well, too.
Absolutely! Should be proud of him!
He realizes that it's becoming a problem, and he's doing something about it. And the dude definitely has more willpower than I do! I think I quit smoking 4 times a year until I switched to vaping...
Nice that the new coils have the second O-ring! Hoping that they work out better for you. Just as a little trick to help with installing O-rings: heat up a cup of water in the microwave, then drop the O-ring in the hot water for a few minutes before installing. The heat helps them to stretch a little better without breaking.
I work on high temperature/high pressure vessels and deal with a LOT of O-rings... sometimes, that's the only way to get them on. It'll be interesting to see how the Cerabis compares with the Target Pro in a 1:1 with the same flavor! Can't wait!
And thought you'd appreciate this... I keep posting this one as my choice in the HG contest. The Yakuza mod kit by ATOM. It uses gCeramic coils and the mod has a "Wattage Ceramic" mode... here's the review from Spinfuel:
