Jeez, gone for a day and 21 pages to catch up on
OMG a party in and of itself

Yep it sorta was a party, abeit a somewhat humbling one...
My new RBA is a different design than I was used to so it was like learning coilbuilding all over again...
And the highbrow didn't show...
I will say battery safety is a MUST! Most people that have AW IMR's actually have clones. There is only a couple of sources to purchase actual AW IMR's in the USA, and wonderlite (A registered supplier on ECF) is one of them! For sub Ohm though the Sony VCT4 or the new VCT5 are by far the battery of choice. High drain capacity 30amp. We have been also using the Efest Purple 2500mah 35amp high drain batteries. I don't think they are really 35amp, but we haven't experienced any major issues with them.
Be Safe in RBA land!
AW actually maintains a list of known fake sellers over on their sales thread on CPF..... hcigar is one of those....
Thei label used to be the black oval with the holographic oval around it and holographic AW...but they just changed them recently to combat fakes...so now a holographic oval with half solid half watermark holographic background and black AW...
I've seen pictures by a vaper of at least one of those purple efest batteries that went into thermal runaway...they were running a 0.5 ohm coil.....not sure I trust them at all...*I personally wouldn't use them*
So this is just the rolls of gauze? Like for bandages? Also did you see my post last night about the type of wire I have? Will that work? Kanthal wire one is round I think 32 gauge? And the other was a flat wire. This is actually starting to interest me! I will plan on watching some videos after work tonight.
Thanks to everyone for the help and variety of answers to my questions on the RBAs
Rite aid and walgreens have it too...
All of this talk about Highbrow and no one has mentioned their Limoncello. It's exquisite! I could swear they used to have a Dulce de Leche, but I don't see it on the menu anymore.
Got this coming whenever it decideds to show up..
I've only seen rolled cotton at cvs in first aid aisle.
See above...
They have a flavor called, uh... "whispering eye". ew.
Eww!
I had evods, and I thought the flavor was better than a protank, or any other clearo. Darned things leaked all the time though. I could never take them in the car, theyd leak in under half a mile. What did you think of the aurora? I have thought about getting one myself
Evods for me always developed small cracks in the inside of the mouthpice after a few months causing leaks...
**As far as a torch goes....it depends on the type of coil as whether I'd bother...basic coils for an RBA or to replace Evod coils I never bothered....doing twisted kanthal or using 32g kanthal to do micro coils I did to aneal and "freeze" the shape and tightness of the coil...it can make it easier to place, adjust, and wick a microcoil with the use of pointed tweezers...expecially when not doing sub ohm and in tight spaces... (example, my new RDA is 3 post, and about 16mm deck space (typical is abut 22mm)) **
