I became greedy.:rolleyes: Yet another V2 Base ordered.
Next month will see yet another one and a whole Calix V2 Elegance winging their way to the UK.
I fear I have a habit developing.
When I was a Pipe Smoker, a highly Prized 7 Day Set was what we aspired towards, I will have a 7 Day Calix Set.;)

Ok, so I ordered the p3 calix and haven't built anything in a while. I watched Qorax video and want to ask about best places to get the nichrome and rayon. I was using organic cotton balls in the sophia and have plenty of that, and can get 28 gauge kanthal local. Is there a big advantage with the nich/rayon build or can I use kanthal/kgd/cotton bacon? Need some advice, want to round up the supplies before the calix rolls into town. Thanks in advance.

You can use Kanthal and Cotton with no issues, following pretty much the same advice from @qorax.

Differences are AFAIK, Nichrome heats a little bit faster than Kanthal at the same resistance ranges, and with Rayon you pack a bit more than with cotton and flavor is purer for some with it. It also depends on the cotton used, quantities, resistance of the coil and all those things.

You should go ahead with Kanthal and Cotton, with your preferred resistance and cotton not so tight and not so loose fluffed enough.

Exactly @Saltwater, like @NeoGoldenBoy correctly stated, pls go ahead with your Kanthal and O/Cotton rolls, they'd work perfectly in the Calix V2. There's no real reason to go for Nichrome or Rayon unless you want to.

However, if possible, try and switch to Japanese Cotton Pads like KGD, Sheseido, Muji et all. They offer better taste than the O/C rolls. And that's a fact. Rayon is a personal preference ~ it is very similar to the ... Cotton pads.

Just ordered the V2 upgrade kit. Really honest price, I have to say. Considering this I added a nice STR15 drip tip, with the beck thing... curious about it.
I too was curious about the Beck tips. I ordered as well!

Looking forward to when the p3 adapter upgrade kit is available too.

I didn't look closely until now, but very happy to see (from the website pics) that it looks like the bottom of the p3 Calix nicely flares out to 23mm to match the width of the P3!

Fantastic :D
