Ok I have two bottles of 54 mil nic from totally wicked. The coil replacements are the kangertech SS0CC. I don't think those can be cleaned? The cotton or whatever its called is inside the coil and it's closed up. Of course there's wholes to prime it with. It screws into the subvod ion batt. I have glass for the tanks. What's a rda/rta?
Here is a calculator you can use to estimate how much nic you will need. Vaping Community e-liquid Calculator - Vapocalypse Calculator

Most of us are getting 100mg for DIY, it takes up less storage space than 54mg would.

You can clean most coils, even the ones like you describe, there are a number of ways to do it and probably a ton of videos on youtube for it.

RDA is a rebuildable drip atomizer (you drip the liquid directly on the coil). RTA is a rebuildable tank atomizer. For both of those you make your own coils using wire and then for wicking you use cotton or rayon (you can also get bulk pre-made coils on fasttech.com extremely cheap). Even if you do not plan to do that in the future, it could not hurt to have one or two in your stash just as an emergency backup for 20 years from now if you break all of your glass on the tanks you have, lose your tanks, underestimate how many coils you needed, or some other unforeseen issue arises.

    @Debbie Lee to follow up on the above post about rda's, they are only .75 here for the Royal Hunters. I like them for a simple RDA:
    Council of Vapor Royal Hunter RDA | 22mm Rebuildable Atomizer (Clearance)
    lol... I got 10 of those last month. :D I figured a few for my stash and also when the crud hits the fan I could trade some of them for something I needed because they will be worth a heck of a lot more than 75 cents 5-10 years from now. Heck, if the proposed tax increase goes through, nicotine will be worth 5 times it's weight in silver based on today's prices.

    Like I said, I ended up paying a little over $8 shipping total and for 2 items on one sale they probably would have gotten me for a little over 7 (based on my previous purchases from them). So I'll just eat the dollar.... lol
    I went to go get 2 more, put them in my cart and it wanted $12.49 shipping!! like almost 3x the $4 something each for just one, so I did not screw up. I "accidentally" did it the best way. lol

    By wanting the diff batt sizes, I think you are limited with squonkers. I personally wouldn't use higher powered batts in a mech or semi reg squonker but that is just me.

    Why? It’s no less safe to run a 21700 than a 18650. I have and use both - some will take a 20700 but I don’t have any batteries that size. Good to have options should one size become hard to find.

    I’ll admit I have a dual 21700 series mech mod that intimidates me though, lol.

    So for two, after the discount, the total is 22.48. Still not bad for 2. I am going to sit on it for awhile.

    Probably in my head but I don't like to run power that is higher than I need for my tootle puffing and again the size/weight matters to me. I guess I don't see a need for the bigger ones but some might.

    Well, it would have a tad bit more fuel to expend, but you're right, the difference is probably negligible. But that is why I wanted the other battery sizes, in the event 20 years in the future 18650's become hard to get.

    If you use 2 coils a month, for a 30 yr supply you need 144 boxes of 5 in a box. It's really not hard to stock up on coils.

    I have a coil right now that is on week #8 that works just as good as day #1, that's one of the benefits of vaping unflavored nic. :)
