You just reminded me that I have to rebuild my Squape .. I think it has a short, all of my devices are weirding out with it. But I rebuilt the Rose today for the first time since I did the first build, and it put me over the edge. I'm done :laugh:

Lol! OMG, 2 days ago I did a vertical coil in one of my Roses. I think it took me 20 minutes to get my legs trapped with the coil centered and vertical. Its tasty, but I will have to be bored to do it again.

Chucky keeps shorting every night at midnight because the decks have crappy coating. Paranormal Squapetivity. Given up on him. I have an authentic and a Kingtu clone. However, they both get screwy a little with the spring loaded 510s on some of my mods. So authentic is going to live on the Zero. And clone on the Wotofo.

Today I got the Orchid. Get my coils on. And a post screw snapped a leg. Grumble, grumble.

Why can't I have just stayed with kayfuns? :D

Now that I have 30w to play with and a pair of VTC4's for my mods, I'm all about the juice and what ever give me the best flavor. Dripping with the juice tank UNDER the deck is the bestest. Though I'm still eyeing the Orchid and the Dome. I've heard mix reports on both. I like to keep my tanks short 2-2.5ml. Otherwise I get tired of the same flavor.

Nah! Just keep getting more and you can have 10 flavors, lol!

And then cry when they all need maintenence at the same time.

Everyone here wants to believe it, too, lol! I don't care what it is. I just want mine to look as good as the pics and work well.

But, why is FT lying about it when they sell primarily clones anyway? It appears to be worth $35. Why not call it a clone like the other 2? Doing that could cost them customers, which is a poor business plan. Maybe they don't care with the number of new vapers constantly coming on the scene.

Yeah, that is my point. It would sell anyway because it looks like a good clone, why bother with all of this other stuff that could really backfire for them? But what really upsets me is seeing all of the disrespectful posts on Footoons page by clone lovers .. just ugly behavior. This guy didn't ask for his device to be cloned, why go over there and start taunting him with it?

I like my clones too, but I would never go to a modders page and start taunting them with ridiculous accusations. Who did Footoon ever hurt? And if not for Footoon there would be no Aqua to clone.

But it gets even worse ... Ivogo has an Alibaba listing that is linked to Footoon's youtube video that they are passing off as THEIR OWN VIDEO of the Aqua clone. They even used freeze frames from Footoon's video as their product photos... where are the boundaries?

The Orchid is my favorite right now. But I think that's because these guys corrupted me with 0.6Ω builds (on a mech), and it's my first time to go down that low. :laugh:

The price drops on hanas are really tempting, but mechs are so pretty and hanas aren't...I just switched to mechs not too long ago and I'm still a little giddy about how pretty they are. :blush:

:laugh: Chucky :facepalm: .. I did a macro coil on this Rose build just to see if I liked it any better, but I think I liked my first build twisted micro coil .. sigh, I'm tired :laugh:

I'm trying not to go mod crazy, but I like the buttons on a certain dna30 box mod I saw in a local b&m. I've seen one like it online for $79. I also kinda dig the black Wotofo ZNA 50 because it has a better battery cap. And I like the looks of it in all black. A friend just got a 26650 Panzer. So far I've stayed strong. I currently have 5 mods. I'm trying to stay strong against the mod lust. If/when I reach 10, we'll know I've failed. :D

But Nikki's got Playa cards! 10 gets you the first one, and the one for 20 is prettier. I don't think anybody's hit 40 yet. After that, it's straitjacket time. :lol:

I love the macro coils!
Have not tried twists yet. Not sure if there is an advantage to them. But I do read up on them when I find the literature.

Apparently there aren't any boundaries :( That's terrible. Both Ivogo and the people posting idiotic, nasty comments.

I never believed it was real, but found it interesting when I came across it yesterday. I had already added it to my cart before I saw the word "authentic", lol! Then I said, "Wha...?" And posted it here. Then saw all the other posts.

Now I kind of wish I hadn't bought it as I don't want to be associated with any of that :(

0.6ohm gives the best flavor? I built it to 0.4ohm. I'm a little nervous because I've never gone that low, and its on a mech.

Its at least a good way to use up 100ft of 30 guage I've never had any use for, but peeps here told me to get when I started on rba's, lol! I have twisted coils in darn near everything right now.

I'm with you on both points. My 3 Kayfuns are feeling neglected since the Orchids arrived, and I find 0.6 - 0.7 to be the sweet spot for those so far. Do yourself a favor and don't try the Billow, it's a clear step above the Orchids on all fronts for me. Right now with a 0.5 build it's guzzling down expensive juice at an alarming rate, but it's so good I can't put it down. :facepalm:

I have a Sig50 which is great, and a Hana clone on the way. I just ordered 2 more Stingrays because they perform well and just look so darned good on anything I put on them. BTW don't tell Nikki I bought something because it looks good, that's bad for my reputation. ;)

I think I have long since hit the 40 mark, but I am not in the mood to go through 3 rooms to count them all ... I will wait til I have the strength to properly claim my bragging rights :laugh:

The main reason that I use twisted wire is to build a larger coil while still keeping the resistance low. When you double the wire and twist it together to make one wire, it cuts the resistance per inch in half. A neat way to get use out of higher resistance wire too, like the 32 gauge that a lot of new rebuilders start with ... or at least they used to. Other than that its not like they give you a better vape .. twisted wire coils also last longer for me.

For the macro I built, the aim was to use a lot more cotton to see how wicking might change :)

A friend built his at 0.3 and hasn't melted anything so you should be OK. Personally I think it's a little harsh that low, I prefer 0.6 - 0.7.

Been thinking of twisting, but I have to kill off a roll of 32ga. before I get to the 30ga. :) Maybe I'll try quad twisting 32 see how that works.
