ok... goto avid vaper and get some premade coils for the penelope.... they are the only ones i could find that sell 2 ohm...... they are so cheap and you wont have to attach resistance wire with non resistance.....

Have you ever used them before? Everything I've seen has suggested a silver NR wire, but those are nickle. Also, in the pics the wicks look very loose in the coils. Just wondering if DIY coil wouldn't be better. My past rba failures were a result of my inexperience with making a viable wick, but silica takes care of that. Is there something I need to know about issues with making a coil for thePenelope?
She might have to wait, as my vape fund has already gone into the red. Don't worry Matt, I already allocated quite a bit for the pipe repair. Hoping you got some of those elusive eGo threaded connectors that fit the V1.

the wire for a penelope is a combination of non resistant -> resistant -> non resistant..... you need to use a wire like that due to how far away the positive and negative connections are from the coil.
I watched a few vids about the Penelope, and that didn't look too hard. But they might have just been serious pros at making coils. I'm fairly adept at it myself as I have been an electrician for over 10 years.
I get the 1.5 ohm wires from COV for the Penelope myself. It's the only RBA I set that low, but it is agreeable like that, at least for me.
I love the Penelope, but it is a bear to rebuild. The premade wires help to make it a little easier.
When I ordered my Killer I ordered 10 coil sets, with arthritis and carpel tunnel in both hands (they start cutting on them the 19th) doing those little coils is a pain, doing them on stainless mesh in my AC9 is easier.
It's totally doable.... Just much easier with the premades. I have some of the 1.5 ohm ones that Matt is talking about and those are good too. I use different strengths for different juices
I also use premade coils from Avid. I rebuilt my Penny yesterday in 3 minutes. I will never go back to coiling my own let alone attaching NR and R wire. It's totally worth the $1.50 or whatever...
Thought I'd finally post my current collection.
Thanks for the great crafted pipes Matt!

A similar subject to our pipes is the way we can store them. At home it is easy, there are any number of pipe stands for home use but most aren't pocket friendly. Here are a couple folding pipe stands, handy to drop in a pocket or pipe pouch. Much nicer that just laying your pipe on it's side or trying to lean it against something. Both came from JKMart.

Ya, on Facebook they said that they have been playing catch up all week. Besides, some people complain from time to time that they cant buy from work on Friday so this is a chance for some different release exposure I guess you could say.
