Thanks everyone! Just wondering how many coils I would need to buy! Now I'm trying to find the cheapest kit to buy!
Just a heads up, in case you're not aware, the CLRs are optional and have to be ordered separately. The ones included in kits are standard CL coils.

When you order coils, be careful to get CLR and not CL if you plan to rebuild them. You'll be able to choose either 1.0Ω or .5Ω. Most seem to prefer the 1.0, but some lean to the .5. You can get five of them for $8.95 if you scroll down on the link provided above.

Can't really say how long the clrs last but they are fairly sturdy. If you could find the silicon post insulator replacements somewhere. They would last like forever as that is the only part that will wear out. I have while testing different ohms and wire material rebuilt one of the coils probably 40 times or more. It is still good for more builds. If you rewick it and dry burn it one coil will last months before you have to wrap another coil.

I have 6 boxes of the Titanium clr coils that I bought when the one site was selling them for $2.50 a 5 pack. You can only use the pre-built titanium in temp control but you can rebuild with whatever wire you like. The titanium coils are good coils but the center air hole is larger than the 1 ohm coils. I also bought 2 packs of the 1 ohm coils.

I have I think settled on what I like at this point on rebuilding them. Kanthal 26 awg with 2.5mm core at 1 ohm. Good flavor and good amount of vapor with decent battery life running at 18 watt

Stainless steel has a slightly cleaner taste than kanthal but not enough to matter for me. Easy to build a longer lasting kanthal coil at 1 ohm. If you are going for lower ohm coils SS probably better.

I just stuck some in my cart!
The main difference for me is that the .5 has bigger airflow for DTL. I buy the .5s and then rebuild them to 1.5. That's the wonder of the CLRs, you make them match almost any vape you want, barring the extremes in either direction.

If you snatch up a pile of those Mega V2 tanks @ $2 each this a good mod at a good price. BUT it doesn't do SS in TC mode just Ni and Ti. Not upgradeable. If any of that matters. Also has different color faceplates available on FT cheap if Ya wanna get matchy matchy with yer tanks.
