Sorry, I've got another question about the Vaporesso GT coils. Not sure which type would be best for me and my style of vaping.

I'm no cloud chaser. I think y'all regard my type as a tootie-puffer, LOL. MTL. I'm running the NRG with the pre-installed coil (whichever it is) at 33 watts, and that seems like plenty of power for me. In fact, I'm thinking I may have to reduce my nic level to stay at that point.

My mainstay for years has been the Nautilus Aspire (1.6-1.8 ohm & 8-10 watts), and I suspect that will remain to be the case with all the related hardware I have on hand and my satisfaction with the system. I've been inactive on ECF for quite a while, content with what I have been using.

But, since I got these in the Avenger X kits, I want to make use of the NRG tanks. I think the mesh coils are my best bet, but I'm considering adding some of the ceramic coils to the shopping cart because they're supposed to have a longer service life. Maybe I should get some of each?

Maybe I'm being too off-topic for this thread, sorry.

I like to consider myself knowledgeable abt the GT coils. Have used them all and continue to use them in my drop in coil tanks.

It sounds as if you may like the GT Ccell ceramic that comes as either .5 or .3ohms. The one I use the most is the GT2 at .4 I’ll post a chart with “Best” vaping wattages for each coil. It’s just a guideline but I find it pretty accurate for my vaping which IS DL but not super low ohms or high wattage. I usually stay in the 30s watt range using the .5 or .4 coils. I like a slightly warm vape too so take that into consideration to how it may relate to your preferences. Hope this helps. btw I think it’s one of the best drop in coils available and it’s compatible with many other non Vaporesso tanks.

I do have a few tanks I may list before the door closes. I bought a few by mistake that don't suit my vaping needs because they are more DL, so I have a short list I may sell.

Actually, you might want to keep them for now. Back when I was stocking up in 2015/2016, I changed from MTL to DL. That meant all my MTL tanks weren't going to satisfy me, so I had to add a bunch of DL tanks. I'm keeping all of them, though. I might decide to change back at some point. I like having the choice. :D

Im the opposite. I have mtl tanks that dont suit me because I realize even though I dont DL technically I dont like the tight draw. Maybe we could compare and swap?

@NCC - That $34.85 price from FastTech for the 15 GT coils isn't that bad, IMO, compared to the regular price from US vendors (without a coupon code). You get (5) 3-packs, so it comes out to $6.97/pack = $2.32/coil. With FT, you'd have very minimal, if any S/H, too. However, I've seen them before for about $5.50-$6.00 per box from US vendors with a decent coupon code.
But I've/we've been paying $4.00-$4.19/pack with free shipping over $50 on all of the GT coils I have purchased (plus there was that one spectacular deal from eightvape for $1/pack, but that does not count), that's why @markfm and I both said it was pricey. That's almost $3 per pack more than we have been spending.

EDIT: Here's some .4ohm for $4.19 ($5.99 less 30% off code welcome30), free shipping over $50: GT2 Coils: 0.4 ohm (3 pack) There are also some .15 ohm on a different site for $4.00, but I am not sure if you want to go that low. Although right now I am using a .2ohm at 20W (way below what they intended for that many ohms) and it's not bad.

It seems like every week or two a deal comes up on GT coils and I have amassed a variety of ohms and types... mesh, ceramic, etc

Also, @NCC , you mentioned you use nautilus coils, if you get a hellvape hellbeast, that comes with a nautilus adapter and you can run both GT coils and nautilus on it.

    I've got plenty in my stash but can't help but keep buying. It's almost an addiction to shopping. I try to not spend too much each month but seems like I always have a package or two on the way.


    Don't know if I am or ever will be done stocking up. Not even sure I actually am stocking up. Life, take it as it comes. :)

    I have to look thru my RTA's and start an inventory list, I'll let you know what I have that is more DL.

    I know what you mean, it is tough when you know things are on slash sale prices too! I keep picking up stuff too.

    Congrats @*RJ* on the win. So glad I tagged you.

    On another note, I got the final eightvape order minus the oos stuff which I don't expect to see. The bronze relic tarot nano is gorgeous.

    The 6 week old order from 3avape is due for delivery tomorrow.

    Got the butter mint and mixed some up. Not bad but I will play with recipes soon.

    Thanks Rose! And thanks for tagging me! :wub:

    The tarot nanos are so tiny they are ADORABLE! :hubba:

    The butter mint was shocking to my system since I've never vaped mint or menthol ever. But I swear I can't put it down now. It does need something like a cream or something but I haven't put my finger on it yet. I should look up a recipe using butter mint. I am no recipe maker that's for sure! o_O

    Just ordered more coils. :blink:

    I understand being addicted to shopping cause I sure don't need anything else vape related. But at this point I'm trying to fill in the missing pieces like coils for new things. I'm sure I'll eventually have to buy coils and pods for my two contest wins as well. I'm busting at the seams now though. But I guess it's not a bad place to be but I really do need to quit spending money.

    I'm waiting on IT to come setup my new computer. Mine is on its last legs. But getting everything setup the way it was is always stressful since my work is waiting.

    Beautiful Baldwinsville (CNY)
    I broke down and ordered one Armour Pro today, cigabuy. It's light weight (70g less than the cold steel 100), takes 21700. Some people have had issues with the battery door, others have ben fine.

    I need to make a decision on a 2nd Brunhilde mtl, if i want to take advantage of CNY sales. Gotta put the NRG/gt ccell 2 combo aside (the head from last week is going strong, been putting a healthy number off ml through it)..
