A Big Welcome from MadTown Vapor

[CurlyxCracker]

For myself, I have been using 30ga Kanthal. I do ten wraps around a 16th drill and get about 2.0 ohms. The 30 gauge is pretty tiny, but when I started, most people were using either 28, 30 or 32, so I chose the one in the middle.

It works well for me, and fits easily into my toppers that have holes in the posts, even if I do double coils, so I haven't changed gauges.

I do micro coils, and fire them on my MVP to heat them before squeezing them. The MVP checks the ohms as well. Just don't forget to let go of the fire button before squeezing the coils. (Don't ask me how I know).

Coil building isn't as scary as it sounds, and you get a really good feeling when you first start and get a working one!

I won't ask because I know

So after settling, and adding flavor wick on the top, my coil is staying at 1.6 ohms! Woohoo!! Before I put the flavor wicks it had been hitting at 1.3 ohms steadily. The only thing I forgot to do was, after I finished building it I forgot to take a lighter to it

I just want all of you to know that I received the most BEAUTIFUL silver MVP2 kit (with iclear 30 and all the accouterments!!) and some ENTICING smelling bottle of Pineapple Upside Down cake juice today! Dino (class act) sent it 2-day Priority Mail!

I'm so happy for you Chelle. It's good to see someone win things they really need!

Yeah, Dino is the only one I buy juice from any more. I love his juices, and he's a great guy!

Funny story......I found why my coil job is leaking...... the wick literally came out of the coil, and it was up inside of the tank! hahaha Now I know why all of my eliquid leaked out on me last night! Too funny! So I am getting ready to build a new one, but I am going to save this coil and keep it attached to the base for when I get some cotton! I have some regular cotton that I boiled in water and let dry a month ago. I am not sure if I can use it or not....what do you think?

Since no one around here sells organic cotton, I've just been using regular Walmart cotton balls. I haven't had any problems or funny taste with them, and I don't even boil them!

Yay! 1.6 ohms!!!! So, I wrapped around the 2mm wick an 1/16 drill bit, and did 10 wraps. If I wanted 2.0 ohms or at least higher then 1.6 ohms, would I make more wraps?

Yeah, one or two more wraps would make higher ohms.

You really don't need to take a lighter to it, lots of people don't.

It's fun when you finally start rebuilding, it gives you so many options for toppers!

Thank you! You answered many questions for me! I am so pumped to be able to build my own coils! My goal is to rebuild my aspire nautilus coils. Yay! It is going to save me alot of money! My bf is super excited about it costing less money! Lol

Congrats on your opening Dino!

Thanks Ducky

So Dino, the Summer Sweet is a huge winner for me. The dragon fruit really hits the spot, and the cream goes along with it just as nicely as it does in Blue Banana (which as you know I'm a HUGE fan of).

I didn't get much of the creaminess when I was dripping it in my TOBH. Today I decided to put it in a tank, so I busted out an empty mini Protank 2. I've been vaping it at 8.5 watts, and the balance of fruit and cream is absolutely perfect!

I'm thinking that I would enjoy this juice any time of year, so maybe you ought to consider changing the name? How about Smooth Dragon, or Dragon Dream? ...Or get a little more abstract and go with Toothless (from how to train your dragon).

I like toothless LOL

I am so excited and grateful!!! Dino is truly a "class act!" I am so happy that I found this thread and his site. I am going to let my juice steep for a few days (if I can!) but judging from the SMELL, I have found a new juice vendor as well!

Thank You Dino and MadTown Vapor!!!

That's totally sweet I am so glad you won

 

[Dino.Spinelli]

oh chelle it's good right from the mailbox but yes for those that have more patience than I steeping helps

one thing I did note is you said you can't eat pineapple upsidedown cake? is that due to health or allergies? I've been trying to vape it and the pina koolada...it gets to me, I have mild allergy to acidic fruits....so vaping them sometimes irritates my throat/lungs...

Congrats on the grand opening dino glad it was a hit

and dykealiscious great post on rebuilding and lmfao dragon .... bwhahahaha

Not having the grand opening till things slow down a bit. Hopefully I can arrange it so that some of you guys can come on out.

I wish I had a vape store near me. The only vape selling here is the kits at gomart and a lady about 45 mins away that sales CE4 kits and eliquid, but neither sale anything besides the kits and eliquid. I love the area I live in, but there are no vape shops here or close to me. I wonder if Walmart sales organic cotton....I would assume they do.

Yeah if the silica is too narrow it will do that but with cotton it swells when it's wet so its a nice snug fit but just make sure it's not too snug or it will burn

Yup. What's your wire gauge again I'll go ahead and do some calculations and tell you how many wraps you need

 

[dykealiscious]

Try the 1.6 before you go and make it to though you might find that you like it

 

[Dino.Spinelli]

What's everyone up to tonight?

 

[dykealiscious]

. Elk burgers at Elliott Bay

Worn out from a long day at the Washington county fair with my daughter. Now I'm binge watching Battlestar Galactica and dripping MTV KLC. This juice has definitely improved with 2 weeks of steep time on it. Mmmmm.

Our state representative was going door to door passing out reelection flyers. I kept him in my house for 45 minutes, while I explained vaping to him. (He was an ANTZ).

The juices I chose to have him smell were all Mad Town because they smell the best. He really did think flavors like Tiramisu and Twinkie smelled pretty good!

He seemed totally surprised about what I explained to him, and how good the juices smelled. I know he had a different impression of vaping after he left than he did before he came.

It's kind of nice to have a politician all to yourself for that long. He couldn't leave, because he was looking for votes, and leaving, instead of listening to my concerns wouldn't be a good way to get votes.

Pretty cool of you Kathi. reaching out to the uniformed.

My wire gauge is 30. Thank you very much
