    Somewhere between here and there
    I've been going back and forth on getting more of the gt ccell coils and the innokin 1.2 z coils. I have been thinking about it every day but was hesitant to pull the trigger and kept looking for super good deals on them but didn't find what I was looking for. I know I'm late to the game on the ccells but am liking them once I tried them. I normally use rtas but want to have some coils for when I either can't or don't want to build. Anyway, I finally placed an order for ten boxes of each from FT and got about $15 in discounts for buying bulk. Those with what I have on hand is going to have to be enough. I am going to try hard to not order anything else besides flavors that I need to reorder for mixing. No promises but I am going to try. My vape cabinet is full of mixing stuff and some hardware, I have 12 mods/tanks in current rotation, and have five boxes of hardware full to the top. Not to mention the two stack on cases I have full of tanks. At some point it has to be enough.

    Yep my little impulse buy of a toy aside the only thing I am really keeping an eye out for deals on is coils. Even then it has to be a REALLY good deal. Otherwise I am sure I am set. By the time I run through my collection I will probably be too old to care.

    I bought some of those but never ended up using them.
    Once I got the hang of using them they are indispensable for me at this point. Fortunately they are cheap and available in most hobby/craft stores not to mention amazon so not a problem to get a hold of

    I already had stocked about 1,000 drop in coils for a few of my tanks before I got my Hellbeasts, NRG's, and NRG SE's that all use the GT coils... I am aggravated that I did not get those tanks before I started stocking coils. So I just wait for the occasional sale to pop up and I grab what I can (they usually sell out pretty quickly when they get into the below $5 range). Eightvape had a deal on .2ohm coils for $1 a pack and I only got 20 packs because I was not sure if I would like them... I got them and I love running them at only 20W, but by the time I had figured that out, eightvape was sold out and i have been kicking myself ever since. :( I would have gotten at least a hundred boxes more had I known. I did notice that Fasttech has some clones at $4.30/pack for 5+packs, I was thinking about picking some of those up if I do not see any deals in the below $5 range soon. The best price I currently see is vaporl for $5.37 for the .5ohm ccells. Vaprzon is where I have found the most deals below $5, they have coils for $5.99 and then they have had 30% off coupons, so $4.19/pack... Maybe they will have another coupon code before May.

    I never used them when I was getting 10' spools but when I moved on to big spools I bit the bullet. Rewinding 10' of wire is a pain. Can't even imagine having to do that with 250'.

    I'm shocked that a 0.2 ohm drop-in coil doesn't get flooded at only 20W.

    Works perfectly... I also have a different tank with a .4ohm coil I am able to run at 10-11W and I have been using the same coil for (collectively) over 6 months at 14hrs a day (21 long lung hits per hr on average). I get great direct lung hits from both setups.

    Interesting. What's your PG/VG ratio?

    I might end up passing along my gt 0.2, since I went in for the TTM and kanger 0.5 ohm coils. I have a healthy supply of gt ccell 0.5 ohm and ccell 2 0.3 ohm (for anyone good with 0.3 ohms, vaprzon has fairly frequent 20% off, and rarer deeper discounts).

    For the kanger heads, as a tank #2 I went for a Protank 4. I ordered it in the US for $20 shipped. I do understand the glass is embedded (not changeable without real PITA, at best) - in my backup use case this is fine.

    0.2 ohms at 20W with 70% PG and no flooding.

    I'm more shocked than I was minutes ago.
    Not even close to flooding, and no leaking or firing issues like @rosesense mentioned.. This is with the NRG, I have not tried it on the Hellbeasts or NRG SE's yet, but I am assuming it is the coil that makes the magic happen, not the tank.

    Looking at the wick holes on that coil, you're probably right as the wick holes would be free and clear no matter what tank, most likely.
