Emptied my cart, removed the temptation! Not even really paying attention to contests...lol...the Kooper I just check the first post for updates, then leave before I need to bleach myself. The rest??? Ehhhh

An oldie but definitely a goody!! I am so glad you invested in that Provari. It''s like the Timex of the vaping world!

Best $$ I've spent on anything vape related

ceramic cCoil,

I read your review of the Storm Trooper (uh, Target). Please keep us posted on your ongoing opinions of the cCoil.

I won in the Evic one. I'm good. I'm not greedy.

I threw an obligatory post in on the Kooper thread saying I entered and past that I'm just waiting. If I get alerts, I get alerts, iffin I don't, I don't.

With my carts, I'll be honest. I mostly just throw stuff in the cart, drool over it for a few weeks, it gets outdated, I delete it and proceed to the next item. I've had the same exact cart on Wizlabs and RTS for at least six months with no official buy date in sight (although I really want to). fasttech and me are notorious window shoppers. Everything else is fluid, I check the deals and steals thread every day.

PM sent. Lannie and I have been discussing building coils and stuffing wicks, etc. She's having no problem with rewicking her sub-Ohm coils (rayon) and seems to be doing OK with this Lemo thing she just got, but these tiny BHC (we're not using 2.5 anymore, but 1.8 or 1.5) and BVC things have us both baffled. The problem we both face is very arthritic hands. I have been looking for tool kits, mini vise, etc. that will help us do that.

If you're doing micro coils (contact coils), then the kuro coiler is pretty easy to use. The problem is being able to dry burn the coil to get rid of the hot spots that invariably crop up with contact coils. This is why I like using spaced coils, especially if the build deck is wide enough, like with the Velocity style decks. If the problem is with winding your own coils, you could always get pre-wound coils from Fasttech. The prices that Fasttech charges for pre-wound coils comes out to be almost as cheap as buying wire and winding them yourself. In an earlier order, I got a box of 200 pre-wound coils for just over $9. That comes out to be less than 5 cents per coil.

I love those prewound suckers!

That sounds very reasonable, but not sure I trust Fasttech. I know a lot of people do and a lot more don't. You and Mary Jo seem to like them. I am just unsure.......

Be brave, little Buckaroo!

 

[redrebel821]

Speaking of...that's what I should do tomorrow....clean out all of my PT2's and redo all of the coils.

Perhaps someone with a history of good luck could purchase them from FT and send them your way when they arrive? If you don't want to order from China, I doubt a package that small will take up much space in somebody's order they're already placing.

Morning family, sorry I haven't been around much. Needing to decompress a little of that makes any sense at all. Weather go me like ugh...while its nothing to get all....ahh ahh ahh, gotta get bread and milk...RIGHT NOW...we here in the hills on the east coast saw our first smattering of snow...kust a dusting.....and ya know what...I hate it already

 

[Lannie]

I don't think the actual WINDING of the coils would be impossible for either me or Rich, but INSTALLING them? I can't see myself being able to do that. Maybe Rich, but I know my hands won't perform those tiny functions anymore. I only really watched ONE video on it, though, by the VaporLady, so maybe there are other ways to do it. She made it look SO easy, but as I said one time a while back, I tried to get the little gasket ring thingie off the bottom of one of the attys once, and even with tweezers, I couldn't do it. I could have destroyed it and gotten it off in pieces, but if I want to re-use it, no can do.

Lannie,

You really need to try using the two post Velocity style build deck then. They are super easy to build on. I've even tried building it with a vertical coil. That is a bit more trickier, but still is easy to do. The hardest part of making a vertical coil in a Velocity style deck is wicking it, since you don't have a lot of room to pull it through, rather you both pull and (using a pin) push the wick through the coil.

 

[faeriekitsune]

And I just remembered why I hate people.

Today is taste test day at work. We get sent samples by juice lines and we put them out on a table next to the counter for the customers to try and give us feedback to see if we want to order them. These companies call us once a week at least trying to see what we think.

We just opened half an hour ago and I'm trying to get some stuff done while we're slow, but the phone keeps ringing. A customer walked in, I was talking to her and the bloody phone rang again. I excused myself and went to answer. In the time it took to get the phone, she decided to leave.

When I hung up with the stupid telemarketer, I realized the customer had jacked three bottles off the tester table.

This isn't the first time they've disappeared....

I hate people.

If you don't have money and need it, I'll GIVE you a bottle from my personal stash. Don't take the ones we need for feedback.

So John, if I were to make a coil for one of those, then how does it mount in there? Sorry, I know, NOOB ALERT! I assume I would stick the ends (legs?) in the holes, but then what? Does it just wrap around, or is there some other way of fastening it? I should probably go look for a YouTube video on it, huh? I will do that. That's the Aromamizer I've been hearing so much about lately?

 

[Lannie]

Wait, is that a dripper? I don't drip. I'll look up Velocity, too. Is that one also a dripper?

 

[Lannie]

They're both drippers. I need a tank. Well, I HAVE the Lemo 2, which is a tank, and looks like I could put a coil into it without too much fuss. My wicks don't seem to last very long in that, though, which is a bother because the tank sort of comes apart when you take the base off, and I make a juicy mess more times than not. LOL!

The Aromamizer is a RDTA, which is basically a dripper that is fed from a tank. The juice flows from the tank down around the sealed build deck and then under the build deck. The bottom of the build deck has 4 holes drilled into it, so the juice flows up through these four holes. The wick will sit on top of these holes and then will wick the juice up to the coil. The tank section is in one piece and the build deck is separate from the tank section, so you can remove the build deck to change the wick or change the coil without needing to empty the tank. There are a ton of videos reviewing the RDTA and demonstrating how to build on it. When the Aromamizer first came out, it had a standard RDA 3 post build deck, but they came out with a version that has the Velocity style posts. What I love about the Velocity style posts is that the coil connections are separate for the two coils, which makes it much easier to build on. You don't need to worry about positioning and holding in place two separate coils. You just need to do them one at a time.
