    A1 Kantha wire for builds > 1.2 ohm: 30, 32, or 36?

    All I use for coils is the wire of choice, wire cutters, drill bit or similar to wrap around (I made a simple jig for this), butane torch and tweezers. Nothing beats stocking up on your own hand built coils made for all of about :2c: :D

    A1 Kantha wire for builds > 1.2 ohm: 30, 32, or 36?

    No problem :) I find the thicker the wire, the easier to wrap so would recommend the 30AWG. Good luck!

    Just while I remember to comment, Monkey Fist is a VERY rich chocolate hazelnut (think of Nutella made with darker chocolate), which is nice after dinner but too much for an all day vape IMO. Alpha Vape Sweet Tooth is like a butter cookie dipped in milk for me. Super smooth but not intense...

    Sony 30A 18650 warm when charging?

    It is only a moderate warmth, and I only charge them 15 feet from me in the kitchen with the doors open for as long as I'm at home. I've no reason to doubt that they're the stated capacity. They're from a trusted supplier and receive excellent reviews stating super long life. I get a day or...

    Sony 30A 18650 warm when charging?

    It seems to. I have the same charger at work for other uses and my less than smart apprentice decided for some reason to short out one side while a single battery was charging on the other. Both LED's just turned green and shut charging down until I pulled the short and charging continued. Yes...

    No love for 25AWG?

    Unless the search term isn't working properly, I can only see a handful of casual mentions of 25AWG. I've used 24AWG a couple of times and been pretty happy, but my new supplier was all out of 24AWG so I ordered 10 metres of 25AWG and got 25 metres instead (they must have known!). This stuff is...

    Sony 30A 18650 warm when charging?

    Thanks Morpheus :) They seem to be cooler at 0.5A and I have no problem waiting. I'll be keeping an eye on them for the first couple of charges :thumb:

    I'm already craving for fizzy trifle after trying only a solitary ml! Don't know if it's just me, but I didn't get much fizz with the sample I got, but plenty of strawberry jelly, custard and lady fingers! I was using a 1.4 ohm single microcoil at various voltages without much luck! Got to...

    Sony 30A 18650 warm when charging?

    Just noticed that the first time I'm charging my new VTC4's, they're warm to the touch and so is the charger. I don't get this with my Panasonic 18650's, so is there anything to worry about? The best way I can explain the heat is it's like a nice temperature for bath water to be at, like a nice...

    :blink: I was going to place my order today too! Flavours with a punch are definitely for me, might have to try the jelly babies too! I don't get anything at all when I go to the site. It's taken me quite a while to make my mind up and now I have to wait even longer! Guess I'm back to the...

    A1 Kantha wire for builds > 1.2 ohm: 30, 32, or 36?

    Around 11-12 wraps of 30AWG, or 8 wraps of 32AWG around a 5/64 bit should get you to where you want to be.

    Where can I find various sized O-Rings?

    I bought a few different sizes from FT. There's enough variation and PLENTY of them for a few $ to last a lifetime over various toppers.

    Poll: Highest price you ever paid for a pack of smokes...

    The equivalent of $17.50 here in England! Premium brands from certain places are crushingly expensive. $12.50 is about the standard price over here believe it or not! And yet the in-laws still smoke 4 packs a day between them :facepalm: Couldn't believe when I was in Miami I could get two packs...

    First time being upset by an ecig article...

    I've never got the 'you haven't quit smoking' thing. There is a cloud coming out of my mouth, but it's worlds apart! To me it's like saying drinking a gallon of alcohol a day is the same as drinking a gallon of water. I can just imagine these same naysayers 'well you're still drinking fluid, it...

    disappointed with Provari Mini V2.5

    It definitely depends on the topper you have, you can get any result you want with the right set up. I have an IBTanked, great for convenience and flavour. An Aerotank which is just convenient and reliable, but RDA's are where it shines for me. On a 1.4 ohm coil, I've got CRAZY flavour and more...

    Any need for VW if I have VV?

    Sorry, I missed this until I saw Baditudes post. You will be very happy with a Provari. I do like to tinker, which is why I do still like to play with a mech, but the Provari covers a lot of bases. I've been running a 1.4 ohm single micro coil in my Atomic using the Provari all week, and it is...

    Any need for VW if I have VV?

    I know exactly what you mean with the Provari, it's the holy grail of care free vaping for me. I've learned to know exactly when to change a battery on a mech that's plenty above the minimum voltage, and I do like the satisfaction of popping a fresh battery in and suddenly it feels like your...

    Any need for VW if I have VV?

    Thanks everyone. That's certainly made my mind up for me. I'm always doing calculations in my head regarding power anyway when I use the Provari. I tend to make one coil and stick with it for a while, and obviously using VV, the power output is always the same. I've only been using 5W on my 1.4...

    That's it, you've sold it to me, I'm ordering some :D I have to admit, I do love flavours with a serious punch. There's nothing worse than being really excited about a juice only to find it barely tastes of anything. That's why for a tobacco flavour (which I normally can't stand), The Moors is...

    That is true, although I found flavour wise even the low strengths were perfectly good to try out. I think the fizzy trifle was even a 6mg, but oh my it tasted so amazing! I still have a Trip 20 sample, as well as a Black Panther, Tiger Stripe and Victoria Sponge. I really wanted to try the...
