    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Put the coil on the Nemesis to see if it would fire. It fired for less than a second and then just "flopped" over and died. I straightened it up and tried to fire again. Nothing. Put it on the ohm meter and this is what I got:

    How much $$$ have you spent on hardware so far?

    Easily $8000 in 5 years. I get bored and dissatisfied very easily.

    Kayfuns and bad advice

    I have read countless posts and watch lots of videos in preparation for the arrival of my KFL. This is the one piece of advice that seems to consistently be mentioned by everyone one. No wick in the juice channel, ever.

    The end of vaping? A reddit thread really scared me!

    Not to downplay the uphill fight that we face to bring vaping into the mainstream of society, but these exact kings of threads were happening 5 years ago as well. Most are started by bored people just looking to yank chains.

    Looks like I'm in the doghouse again

    My vaping has become tasteless

    It does not necessarily go away. I have been vaping over 5 years. I've tasted almost nothing for 2 years from my juices. I am going the rebuild able route. It is supposed to greatly enhance flavor. If that doesn't work, I can see going back to analogs because vaping just isn't satisfying...

    Gone through 6 Ft of Kanthal rebuilding a tank. None of them work. ...?

    This is good news. The only reason I want to buikd couls is to improve flavor. I am using MBV butterscotch with 5 extra flavor shots and I am getting almost no flavor with my current setup on any setup for the last 2 years.
