#1 Congrats, LD! It seems no one wants to take your PIF. Perhaps we have all already ordered juice from GMO :D I certainly have.

Last month, I sent one of my EA clones off with a friend to be refinished and torched. Got her back today. She is lovely. I'm quite smitten. Pics tomorrow, perhaps.

Purely out of curiosity, a question for those of you who rebuild your own coils: How many of you sub-ohm? Or maybe a more general question: where is your sweet spot?


I like mine closer to 1 ohm. My best build so far was a .9 dual coil.


Maile hope the little one feels better, I hate the helpless feeling you get when your kids are sick or hurt.

4- OK on the build front, because I love to tinker, just did a 12 wrap of 0.5x01 mm A1 flat twisted around a 20 gauge needle, ohms @ 1.8 running @ 12 watts with cotton underneath to about 1/2 way up the coil. Wow gotta try about 9 wraps with that. I tried to dual coil it, but for some reason this new rda does not like to dual coil :(
Always figured a phoenix 5 would be good. Oh well looking at quads, yes I want to try to chase some clouds.

Can't wait until I get into all this stuff...sounds like such a great vape!

Thanks for the question, I would have had nothing but "coffee=good". I think I've covered it pretty well before, although things can change my preference has been pretty consistent. In case you missed it:

RDA: 1.0-1.2 for single coil, 0.7-0.8 for dual coil, almost always "micro" or "nano" coils, meaning the wraps are touching each other. I can't handle 0.5-0.6 dual coil, I know it's just the same as 2 of my preferred single coils but it's just too much for me. In any case, I need a mechanical mod for RDA's. It only took one experience with burning cotton to keep me on silica/ekowool for RDA wick, once broken in it's about the same IMO. If the ohms are too low, I have a Kick 2 which can dial a 0.7 coil @ 4.2v (25 watts) down to 3.2v (18 Watts) or lower. Interesting fact, I recently found out the Kick 2 actually puts out 18 watts max, they did that to compensate for mods with very poor voltage drop.

RTA: 1.3-1.7, single micro or nano coil, ohms depends on the atty and gauge of wire. These can go on a VV/VW mod so the ohms don't matter that much. @ 1.3 ohm I usually go for 4v (12 watts), 1.7 I'll take up to 5v (15 watts). I'm sticking with cotton ball for these, although I have some hemp that works better but is harder to roll to the right size.

RBA: About the same as an RTA, but I'm not using my RBA's much anymore. Between the KFL, Taifun, and Squape, the vape is so much better and more consistent that I may not go back.

SO - Hopefully, I will see everyone later . . . Yea - Like I won't be back to get "My" quota of post in for the day . . . ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:


BTW: "LD" - Very nice thing to do to PIF "Your" Win this week to someone who has never tried "GMO's" Premium "E-Liquids" . . . :thumbs:

VERY SMART MOVE ! ! ! :thumbs:

Good afternoon, Tree Friends!

For the last 24 hours or so, I needed to take a little hiatus from ECF (and, frankly, anything that required the ability to sit still). I keep saying I'm not going to go into detail about this, but that package I was expecting (it was Express Mail, or Priority Express, or whatever the USPS is calling it now--it was guaranteed delivery yesterday is the point) did not arrive. To make a long story short, I was out of medication and I ended up in physical withdrawal. When the package was finally scanned this afternoon (indicating that it was finally on this island), I went to the sorting facility and begged the Postal Police (did you know that there is such a thing as the Postal Police? I didn't) to see if they would retrieve it for me. He told me that he was sure that they wouldn't, but he would ask anyway (I told him it was seriously an emergency or I wouldn't bother). Fortunately, they found it.

At any rate, it's been a very rough couple of days because of this. . . but I'm finally feeling much better.

My God, I've got to read through a billion posts to catch up here! The fact that this contest has become so popular should be very good for GMO, I hope!

Cheers everyone, and I promise not to complain about this health issue again. . . at least for a while!

(This is kind of how I felt yesterday and this morning!)
