Personally, I decided on 7 different mods that I will want to use post 8/18. Then I just kind of picked a number of them to get based on their prices. When all is said and done I'll own 26 mods.

1 MVP3.0
1 SVD2.0 (these two I already own but don't plant to stock up on).
6 PICO's
4 AL85's
4 Aliens
3 RX75's
3 RX200S's
2 GX350's
2 Therion DNA166's.

I did the same thing with RTA's. I'll end up with 27 of them.

My plan is to try and alternate between 1 PICO and 1 AL85 for work use, and use 1 Alien for at home and the weekends. The Therion will strictly be my out-and-about mod when I'm feeling flashy. The GX350 and RX200S will just be used when I think I'm gonna need the extra battery life. Finally an RX75 will be in use just when I feel like something different. All back-ups will sit in storage until they are needed. I figure this plan will help me maximize the life of each mod.

And as cheap as PICO's are, I may not stop at 6. Same with the AL85.

I use these on my Pico's. $11.12 Authentic Clrane 510 Finned Heat Sink for Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack - stainless steel / 25mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping When it starts to wear, I'll toss it and replace it with another.
Haven't put them on the Provari's yet, but will at the first sign of trouble.
I put a high priority on rigs that are small and short as possible. I leave the rda on the mod as much as possible. I clean, rewick, and rebuild without removing it. Eventually the threads on the atomizer wear too but with care they should last 2 years and may be longer. Nothing lasts forever.

I got three packages of vape mail today. Just batteries, flavorings and bits and bobs for coiling. I am happily vaping my own diy juice in my Siren GTA on the first coil I have ever build. Life is good, lol

Many thanks goes to ECF and all who have helped me get this far.

Understand. I was just sharing an option.

What size fits the provari? 22mm?
Sorry, I just realized that I linked the 25mm instead of the 22mm (which I have).

The 22mm fits the radius and Pico just fine but does look funny on the 2.5 tapered top Provari. If you have the flat top, it should be a good fit. If you have one, the STM is 22mm.

I only have 1 flat top, the others are tapered. I was just wanting to prolong the life if I could.

After reading @Riplea post can someone chime in and tell me what is the difference between kanthal wire and ss in laymen terms?
I only have kanthal and now I'm worried that won't be enough
Ss has better taste, lower resistance, faster ramp up, and can be used for temp control

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
I have a bookmark for My Dashboard right up on my bookmarks bar to check even faster.:D

My AL85 did get delivered today so yay for vape mail!:w00t:

So far it's a nice little mod that compares well to my Picos, but can accept a 25 mm tank, which makes it a bit more versatile for me.
usps sent me an email the other day telling me their new app will tell you every letter put in your mailbox every day.

So kanthal can't be used in TC? I'm on the sideline of the tc yet, as I have never used it before.

I got vapemail yesterday - A few of the Ego One Mega kits, some RF super concentrates from their recent Giveaway for S/H only, and lots of vaping goodies from FT.

Have 2 more orders in with FT on the sale going on now. Split it into things ready to ship now (already got email saying it's shipped) and another shipment that'll be sent in 7-8 days.

By the way, anyone considering getting parts to make the little KFL shorties - If you don't already have the chimney base from a KF or clone that you plan to use, you might want to get on FT and buy however many of the following that you think you'll want/need. They've discontinued almost all of the listings for just the chimney bases, that some of us ordered back in summer & fall. 2-3 others of them have been Out of Stock for about 2 months now. So, I'm thinking they might be bordering on being discontinued, too.

There are only a few options remaining that I've found, that will also work. One of them is below, which is a 2-part whole chimney in a 5-pack, which I bought. I'll just use the base barrel part of it only for the shorty KF. It's also available singly. I got them already, and the barrel part of it DOES fit perfectly, too, on the KFL bases from FT with the acrylic shorty bell caps. (One of the measurements shown for them makes it seem like it won't work, but it does.) With the current sale, these are $6.62/5 pack.

$7.36 Replacement Chimney for Kayfun (5-Pack) - stainless steel / ohm logo at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

There MAY be other chimney bases alone that someone has found elsewhere, but I went with these 2-part chimneys (and will use only the base barrel part) before they're discontinued possibly, too, soon.

For those who recently bought the JoyeTech Ego One Mega kits, and want the CLR coils for them...FT also has the authentic JoyeTech ones for $7.70/5 pack. So with 10% off sale going on now, they're just $6.93/5 pack. I couldn't find them that cheap anywhere else! Link is for the 1ohm, but they have the 0.5ohm, too.

Only 2 mods will do temp control on kanthal so as a general rule you can't use kanthal for temp control. The exception is with the hohmwrecker g2 and hohm slice mods. All the other mods won't do it.

Also all temp control isn't the same. Some mods do it much better then others

Thank you, I lost my metal one and I'm using the one that came with the bell cap kit! Been looking but all were discontinued, so again thank you!

I was checking everything for the shorties today, and everything is"shipping in 7 business days", so I just added all of that to my wish list. If they actually ship, I'll grab some of everything.
