@englishmick @Fozzy71 - I've made jewelry as a hobby for many years now. So I have spools of jewelry wire to deal with in 15', 30' and 100' rolls.
Those Bead Tamers are highly overpriced for what they are. You can accomplish the same thing by going to Dollar Tree and getting a 10+ pack of little girls', wide, hair elastic, bands for $1.00!
Or, for larger rolls, to custom fit the width of something to the spool width...buy a pair of the little toddler size tube socks at Dollar Tree. Cut the tube part in the width you need to match the spool width. I can usually get at least 3 stretchy rings out of each sock!
Both of those things will get the same results for WAY less than Bead Tamers! I don't know why wire spools for vaping don't come with the plastic rings around them that beading wire comes with when you buy it. Only time I have to resort to girls' hair ties or toddler tube sock rings is if I break one of the original rings.

Sigh......I went back to ecig.com today and bought 2 picos. I seriously need help........must quit reading this thread.
Knew that $20 Pico comment was going to get someone.
Just wanted to make sure it did after I hit order.
Thanks from me too Fozzy, bought it!! Something I never knew I needed but I don't want no wire boinging all over, poking me in the eye! Lol

Reason #872 to stock up on replacement parts....
Today I unscrewed the top from the base of my Subtank Mini over the sink to refill and the top of the RBA goes kerplunk into the sink. See ya.
Thought the teenie weenie screw holding the RBA together was on tight, but I guess not.
No stopper and I am not taking my sink apart to retrieve a piece of a $6 RBA. Without the RBA top, the tank is useless though.
I have a few extra RBAs and was vaping again within a few minutes.
Truer words were never spoken.
My Friend Jim lost the nano Chimney of his Kayfun nano, and a very kind ECF member sent me a bunch of Kayfun parts and was able to get him going again.
If i could get spare parts for the Silverplay nano that is all i would use. I can't get spare bell caps, chimneys, screws, or bases that is the ONLY Atty i would use. The flavor is that good.
Since i can't get the spare parts i have prepped Kayfun and Orchid V3 attys.
I have three Silverplay Nano's in my stockpile. But can't get spare parts.
No yoy don't need help. The istick Pico is a great modSigh......I went back to ecig.com today and bought 2 picos. I seriously need help........must quit reading this thread.
Wire will always be around at places like Temco, stockpiling it isnt as high of a priority as other more vape specific stuff.
Ok, I got weak. I ended up with a few tanks in my FT cart along with some replacement Atomizer screws. (sigh) Still the cart was less than $100.
Looking back I have not purchased any mods since August. I guess for this month I'm counting sending my IPV6X for exchange. Sometime next week I'll have a "new" IPV6X mod.
I'm finally down to a handful of mods/tanks currently in rotation/service and have drained/rinsed and put away the majority of them. Funny, out of all the different choices I had a Evod kit made the final cut. (I'm puffing on it now) Fun little devices and surprisingly I'm still on the first set of coils! (I have +100 FT prewound replacements in stock when they eventually fail)
Like others I think I'm having withdraws from not getting vape mail.

NICE!Procyon arrived yesterday... I might be done stocking up regulated devices now.
I am in vape heaven with 3 Radius now and using Kayfun's and EGO One Megas and a couple Kabuki's, just so I don't get bored LOL Next I need to mix up this Red Velvet Cake and see how I like it.

I have actually been spending money on other things besides vape, wow I never thought the day would come! ha ha
Received my three iCare Minis today. They went into the stash box for now. I'll wait until the weekend and try one out to see how it will work as a stealth vape at work.
As nice as the Radius is, I've just never been able to get into box mods (you can imagine how difficult buying new devices is for me, with that particular hangup!) So I got my Procyon, a Futura DNA 30 that is *amazingly* still performing exactly the same after three years, and a host of mechs for when the time comes when I need them.I am in vape heaven with 3 Radius now and using Kayfun's and EGO One Megas and a couple Kabuki's, just so I don't get bored
i bought 2 a couple weeks ago,, they were 'ok',,, my husband didnt care for them, but my neighbor likes them so they belong to her now.. i did rewrap 1 coil at 4 wraps rayon.. note for you,, you will need 6 to 8 thin rayon wraps to get it right.
I have some vape mail coming this week.... iStick, coils, and found 28 gauge wire is what I like best so got more of that on eBay. After seeing that "wire photo" I felt lacking to say the least.
