  Kanthal A1 Pre-coiled Wire for rba Atomizer (8 Specs)
  8 Specs, 6-Pack/Spec / SKU: 5183100
  QTY 1 ›

I bought two of these and am using the coils in a few RDA/RTA's. Solid product. Well made coils and it seems that the wire is very clean quality stuff.

I have posted before that I can't make 48 "specialty" coils with $7 worth of wire and it would take a long time to do it.

I know they paid less than I do.

I've never bought more than 80 L.E.D.s at a time.

Not quite enough for business style bulk pricing.

Though, I made the same choice. Which I wouldn't have had the privilege to do had Provape chose not to offer said choice.

It was a tough choice for me.

I knew I was getting gouged tremendously.

But as you say... I WANTED it.

I got a $20 blue LED display recently. It came with a $2.95 USA Ohm Meter attached.

Seriously, though: Businesses exist to make money for their owners and finding a way to charge more for a "premium" product is completely normal. Look at how cars are priced. There's very little profit in a "base model" car. But the margins on optional equipment or packages of such equipment are very lucrative.

I don't know, I placed an order with FT 8/12 for more coils and am pretty excited to see they have shipped

I got one of those wheels of coils in the last package I got from FT. I have looked at them a few times but haven't used any of them yet They sure are some neat looking coils though. Actually look like works of art to me. It is amazing how many different designs the wire twisters have been come up with so far.

Well...
A I'm lazy
B I highly doubt I could make one of those "special" coils
C I love trying new stuff

Glad to hear they are well made, haven't actually had to change any of my clapton coils yet so haven't used any

I have two of the wheels so far

Yeah, I pretty much only talk to people online. I break out in a sweat and get nauseated in the grocery store. I have to pep myself up before going to my granddaughters' birthday parties. (too many people!) If I am going to check the mail, I make sure no one is driving by. I have bad anxiety.

I thought I was the only one who did that with the mail! And I have left many a cart in the middle of the grocery store due to a sudden panic attack. I know it's not much help, but you aren't alone.

Yet still, it's rare to find a 2000% markup. Even on an upsale.



That requires literally no extra parts or labor.

My FT from same date I'll more than likely get on Mon. @JCinFLA my other package was out for delivery yesterday but our mail delivery person never showed up. They tend to go somewhere with your mail & chill for the day when it's hot as hell outside. At 7:30somethingPM it said "available for pickup" so I'll probably see it Mon as well.

Good news. Cold front coming in.

I would never bother to make that crazy stuff... fused, tiger, etc. No way I have the patience for even plain clapton wire. I do make twisted 30ga kanthal but that only involves a drill, wire and a pencil. More complicated than that, $10-15/25ft is cheaper than what my time is worth.

I make my twisted using the clip on an inkpen & roll it on my thigh while talking on my cell.

I've tried quite a few different fancy coil designs over the years ......... that's why all I use are simple single coils.

Drill is quicker for me and really makes the twists tight. My twisted comes out like clapton. Plus the thought of my rolling wire on my thigh isn't that appealing. And that's even if I leave the Magnum shorty shorts in the drawer.

I get really uncomfortable in large crowds, like a sporting event, or even a big wedding.
I sure feel for you though. (((HUGS)))
It took me a long time to start posting here on ECF, I read without joining for three months.

For those with anxiety/stress issues, please research Rhodiola and Ashwagandha. (I like the NOW brand of Rhodiola and the Natural Factors Ashwagandha.) It's like natural Prozac.

I did buy 100ft of plain clapton wire and hope it's a loooooooong time before I need it

Well, less that 8 bucks for 48 coils to play with is well worth it to me

Did anyone fill out this survey and get the results? I found the entire survey report in my inbox, here's the summary:
***** SUMMARY *****

We surveyed 9,040 current e-cigarette users in the United States on what they think they will do if, when the Deeming Rule comes into effect on August 8th 2018, they are no longer able to legally buy the e-cigarette products they currently use.

The majority (>60%) of current e-cigarette users expressed intentions to either start buying e-cigarettes and e-liquid from the black market, both in the local community and online, start making and mixing their own e-liquid at home, start bulk buying/stocking up on e-liquid in advance of the Deeming Rule coming into effect, or go back to smoking tobacco/smoke more tobacco than they do currently.

All of these responses would likely increase these individuals' risk for ill health, and fuel a black market trade in e-cigarette products. Only a very small proportion of current e-cigarette users expressed an intention to comply with the Deeming Rule by either ceasing e-cigarette use or switching to use of FDA-approved e-cigarettes (if any will exist).

***** edit- I don't feel DIY liquid or stocking up is bad for our health

Thanks once again for taking part, your time and insights are hugely appreciated!

Best wishes,

Christopher

Whatever works is all that matters.
The last time I used a drill is when I zip-tied 3 bottles of juice to it to speed steep them.

So, I'm thinking about one more order at FT tomorrow. After all, they are having a 10% off sale. It has been a while since I placed an order for stuff I know I really don't need, but I keep thinking well maybe I should get it
