    Starting make coils

    Or the OP could just space the builds. 22mm outer diameter isn't really that big, gotta keep that in mind. And on the Sapor, I owned 2, got from a local B&M, the first one the centerpin insulator kinda melted on me, it definitely wasn't PEEK on the 510 insulator. So I bring it back since it...

    These pics are grainy because I zoomed in while in macro mode on my iPhone in the camera+ app. They're framed staples. 28g/4 ply .3x.1mm/44g/36g alien on top. I'm gonna call them the DDFSA. I haven't seen this done before. Welcome @Jvincent516 !! Long time lurking is good and all but those are...

    Starting make coils

    Noooo do NOT Sapor. Bad bad experiences with it. Check out the STRO OG mini at $34.99, 2 post, 4 post hole - or - the Aeolus Lite at $39.99. And with 3 post atties, depending on the atty, you will have to center your coils, eg; I have 2 Kennedy 24's and the AFC is in the middle of the deck right...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Yeah brotha it still came out great! I sent you his pics cause I wanted to see if you could do it and then share how to do it :D cause I'm way too lazy to 5 loop it, but I'd definitely 3 loop it for 12 strands.

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    I'll take pics on Monday of the airflow, but it's the same size as the v1 & 1.5, just differently shaped & beveled on the outside of the cap slightly to prevent whistling. If you wanted more airflow, get the cloud cap, it fits all Petri models and has the 2x3mm airflow holes on each side. I...

    So I rushed these along for my Petri v2. 26g/.5x.1mm/38g spaced. At .10Ω they have virtually no ramp time and taste great. I have something new in the works that I don't think I've seen before for my next install.

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    Actually one big advantage over the v1 & 1.5 is the fact that they have solid posts. One post has an Allen screw in it (I'm guessing posi post), preventing your builds from going into and down the post like on the previous versions & other atties, and the other post doesn't have a gaping hole...

    Starting make coils

    @CloudsBruh I'd not recommend a Mutation X v4 as your first atty. At that price point have a look at the STRO OG Mini & the Aeolus Lite by Syntheticloud. The mutation x v4 is a leak machine, I'm not taking about from the AFC holes, yet from the bad quality orings and thin flimsy metal it's made...

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    @Retro138 got his yesterday! Mine's coming today barring any setbacks with the ***** mail person. Forgotten to put items in the box on numerous occasions and one time my girlfriend had to chase them down the block expecting an important package but not receiving when USPS status was officially...

    Clapton coils?

    A hybrid mod is a mod with no 510, atty directly machined onto the body in some way. Like the Ruby mod by Kennedy. It's a Kennedy 24 deck, however the deck is machined into the mod. There's also a direct to battery which has a 510, but is not a hybrid, just a different type of mechanical. And on...

    Clapton coils?

    Vaping isn't welding though. Not everyone comes from that kind of background. I work in artist/production management/development & sound design. So to me a fuse is a form of protection for an amplifier to stop it from blowing or shorting. So the terminology should be fused Clapton IMO, as...

    Clapton coils?

    How many times do I have to say I didn't invent the term or the type of wrap?

    Clapton coils?

    I'll use the word Clapton in any way I like haha. But for you I'll say two strands of 24g wrapped together is a FUSED Clapton. Like I said, I didn't make the term, someone else started it (no idea who), and it stuck. Ask about a fused Clapton and a builder will tell you what it is regardless of...

    Clapton coils?

    Fused has been the term for Claptons with 2 cores for a while. I didn't come up with it. Like a 28g fused Clapton would be 2 strands of 28g claptoned together. I guess you could call it a 28g parallel Clapton if you wanted but fused sounds better haha I think I may be a Modwhomper but I also...

    RDA Dotmod Petri v2

    @Verb i know it ain't the first 2 post atty, but hey it's a marketing tactic to vapers who started dripping after the magma and whatever other 2 post atties dropped out of popularity in a way I guess. It was the first two post atty I bought. Another pic: The cap (not the drip tip) is the same...

    Clapton coils?

    What about a fused 24g Clapton wrapped up in 38g or 40g? At gauges that high the added mass is so minimal. And if everyone here is building 28/32g Claptons and expecting a miracle you're not gonna get one. Key with Claptons is to do the wrap, yet still try to keep total mass down. Try out some...

    Okay, so I know atleast 3 members including myself that have ordered one already so I'm going to get a thread started on it. I'm pretty sure they released yesterday (2/8/16) and I'm pretty ****ing stoked to have it in my hands when it comes! Copied from Localvape.com The Original Two-Post...
