    I stocked up on a few SKRR’s hellbeasts, & NRG tanks, because you all have recommended them & the fact the coils are interchangeable. I am looking for some good deals on coils for these. I usually like anything .5 & under & vape DL around 40 to 50 watts. Any help &/or codes would be much appreciated. Seems 8ish bucks is the cheapest I can find.
    These are for times I can’t build so no hurry, but want to make sure China shops open before ordering from there. I don’t want to have something shop too late to get here before deaming.

    GT2 Coils: 0.4 ohm (3 pack)

    ^^^ That's where I got my 0.4 coils. Was the best price around in the middle of January, and I doubt much has changed. Ordered 1-9 received 1-13 so they weren't shipping from China.

    My favorites for NRG/Hellbeast/... Tanks
    are the Vaporesso gt ccell (0.5 ohms) and gt ccell 2 (0.3 ohms). Recommended watts for them are 25 - 35 & 35 - 45, iirc. You don't want to push those particular heads much higher than their ratings.

    I get the ccell 2 from vaprzon in the US - frequent 20% off sales (including, I believe, if you sign up for a new account) & free shipping for orders over $50 (after the coupon discount is applied). The straight ccell I normally buy from overseas.

    Other heads are decent, these are just ones I like.

    (On rta and rda I use twisted kanthal 26, 0.38 - 0.42 ohm zone, 33 watts.)

    The GT2 that Haktuspit mentioned are also nice Vaporesso heads. I went with the ceramic cell (ccell) versions because the watts fit my target and I like their longevity and flavor.

    Is this a debit card attached to your bank account or a credit card you are waiting on? When my cc had fraud I was able to get online in my cc account and within minutes they had posted my new cc # and exp date and code. I could make online purchases but of course I had to wait for the physical card to make in person purchases.
    It is a CC through my bank. SO I am sort of at their mercy atm. Though it shouldn't be more than a few more days now.

    If you can stand light up coils Eight vape has a good deal on TFV8 baby coils right now and those also are interchangeable with those tanks.

    I do wish I could use a lower vg in my DIY but I am very sensitive to pg. Makes my chest feel heavy and it’s hard to breathe...like I can’t take a deep breath. I had a horrible reaction to pg when I first started vaping. So I gotta stick to max vg.

    And on the cloud chucking discussion, if I don’t cloud chuck, I’m not satisfied. I get aggravated if my vapor is thin. I need the big clouds. I’m still low-ish wattage though. On my vaporesso pod I’m at 20 watts, on my solo I’m on 35 watts, and 4.2 volts on my coolfire.

    I set my coolfire and have never changed it in over 5 years. I’m a very lazy vapor. :) I’m so lazy I just add flavors on top of flavors on the same coil when I need to fill up. If I have to fiddle with gear I get bored very quickly.
    Some say you can thin the VG with distilled water. I've never done it because I don't have a problem with PG, and I really don't like high VG, but it might help you out.

    I’ve been wanting to try an obs cube x mod and finally got one. I really like it. I tried one of the exo s rbas in the tank and it screws in and seems to fit. I didn’t build it yet as I don’t feel like it tonight but I think it’s going to work.

    Yeah, don't think I've ever been accused of being the sober type before, but I prefer rum. Don't know how that would work, think I'll just stick with the PG, unless I stupidly let myself run out for some reason. I was just offering an alternative to RJ since she can't use PG.

    ecig.com ... not sure if that vendor even exists anymore

    Nope. Ecig . com was bought-out & closed down as a competitive move by Big Tobacco (RJ Reynolds), who now redirects the site to one of their other vape websites, Direct Vapor .com.

    Direct Vapor (.com) and Vapor Beast (.com) (along with a few other vape stores/brands) were bought-out by Turning Point Brands (a company started by Lorillard Tobacco Co., which was bought-out by RJ Reynolds in 2016).

    It sounds like we are in agreement about the vendor ecig.com. I said I didn’t know if they even exist anymore and you said they were bought out and closed down by another company. Not sure what it was in my post you were disagreeing with.

    I was neither agreeing nor disagreeing. :D You stated you weren't sure if they were still in business or not - I merely confirmed that they were not...and why.

    EDITED TO SAY: Sorry, I see why you may have thought otherwise. The image I posted was basically me saying "sorry for going off on the BT tangent, now back to 'regularly scheduled programming'". lol

    My wife chose the PICO as the go to for her stockpile, and we've run into two problems. One, the displays seem to start acting shaky and die after about a year (happened to two of them). Two, the whole base starts to get loose and starts to look as if it could fall apart (also happened to two after 6 months). I assume I can fix this once I get a hold of a star screwdriver for those unusual screws holding it together.

    However, for those of us of the stockpiling frame of mind, I would like to diversify the portfolio of my wife's stockpile. What would be your recommendation for another small, single battery, reliable mod? She thinks my Solos are too big...
