Are you done stocking up?

I went to Costco tonight, just the gas station a few minutes before closing when things are empty. The attendant was spraying my pump with sanitizer and offered me gloves. The real news was paying $1.59 a gallon!
Heard that and immediately went to my local gas station. It is still $2.79 a gallon here.
Went to the grocery store because I have days of coffee creamer left. The whole coffee/cereal isle was decimated. Milk/eggs gone but I did score a half gallon of almond milk. I'll try it in a pinch. At the checkout there was a big burly guy with a gun holstered on his hip where no one could miss it. This is unheard of in Phoenix. People have gone insane.

Off topic, but will an ultrasonic cleaner get the odor and taste of old juices out of RTA's?
The odor gets trapped in the o-rings, especially silicone ones. USC will help but I've had to soak my orings in vodka or pg. PG is a flavor carrier and will help to carry away those nasty old flavors.

I vape 1 flavor. Cuts down on that sort of problem.

I hate to admit in over ten years, I’ve never recoiled a drop in before. Do I have to use an n-nr-n (brain fart on what it’s called)? Or can I build a micro coil out of regular wire?

I've always recoiled with regular resistance wire. But I've come across instances where a leg will get hot and burn the insulator (which can cause a short). I have no idea why it does this sometimes. This is the one reason I know of that people choose to use NR-R-NR wire.

There are those that claim that it's imperative to use NR-R-NR wire, but that's not 100% true as I and many others have proof. I've taken apart coil heads to find that the factory did use NR-R-NR wire, so go figure. But for the most part, it seems they don't.

I bought some NR-R-NR wire from FT for rebuilding EVOD/MT32 coils, which are the only coils I've had the hot leg issues with when rebuilding, but I have yet to use it.

This would be a great question to ask in it's own thread as it might get some really good answers from some people more experienced in rebuilding factory coils that aren't paying attention to this thread.

Unc, those 1.2 ohm coils are kanthal/3mm diameter. I have some tiny ones coming to try in some rba heads. No idea when they’ll catch the plane here. Apparently *I* thought more coils were needed :rolleyes:

I hope Ya' know I was only trying to be "Funny"/Humorous/"Cheeky" with you about trading, especially since I didn't take you that seriously . . . :img:

Although, I do have at least 20 rolls available, a couple of boxes of tissues, and 18 rolls of Paper towels too . . . :pervy:
(Hey - I'm only one person living here, shouldn't really NEED that much ;) )

Also - I do know how to use soap & water (and a hand held shower) if I should run out and an emergency "arises" . . . :facepalm:

Just Sayin' . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:


BTW: I honestly, don't build coils or use an RBA / RDA yet, even though I have a couple tanks and the few pre-built coils (I was given by a friend) in the "Stash" for that moment when I used-up all the drop-in coils I stocked up on get used . . . Even got a Coil Building kit just in case too . . . ;) Probably, should get some wire/cotton though . . . :facepalm:

Petco.com delivers and they are fast and many of the items are cheaper online than in their stores. I get all my cat food online from them.
I get 40lbs of dog food and treats every month delivered to the front door! Chewy also sent a painting of our dog Luna too, great company.
