Ok so birthday is march 30th, going to get something for myself next saturday. I am trying to save as much money as possible so, here is my list so far:

eleaf istick 100 Watt TC --->iStick TC100W (Temp Control) Box Mod by Eleaf - BLACK (out of stock) right now, but hoping by next weekend they will have more in for this price.

LG-HG2 20 amps x 4 --->LG HG2 $5.99 3000mAh High Drain IMR Battery INR18650HG2

The above 2 things are the cheapest I have come across for those products. If you can help me find them any cheaper please feel free. I don't really think its possible though.

Also on my wish list, if I have enough is going to be the Griffin rta. the 22mm one because I think the 25 mm one is more expensive? Plus I don't know if it would look right on the IStick 100 Watt TC. I don't know where to find the cheapest Griffin though so I need help with finding the cheapest price on this if you would. The last thing that I can think of that I need is the cheapest small package of Stainless Steel wire that you can find. I don't need a big roll of it just a small package. The reason I am choosing stainless steel is because supposedly it is the most raved about for temperature control over the other options?

If you could help me find those 2 things for a cheap price please feel free to help! :)

I often use vapeCrawler to see who has the best pricing. If I only want to see suppliers from the USA I make sure USA is "green" and all the others are "gray". If you click on "Listed Vendors" at the top of the page you can see all the vaping websites vapeCrawler searches.

First off happy birthday man, mine was on St. Patrick's Day.

Don't know much about RTA's just yet (currently learning to build on my toptank) but you are definitely one step ahead of me in the learning process! Just don't limit yourself to that one mod. There are many other choices in roughly that same price range if you decide you don't want to wait for it to get back in stock.

Goodluck!

Edit: Here is a pretty decent price for those awesome 3000mah LG's and cheaper than sweetvapes!

those batterys you suggested are saying $8.99 a piece. The ones I listed are $5.99 a piece. Maybe you just looked over mine and didn't notice the higher price. No big deal though.

Yeah I did, my apologies. But hey.. I now know where to get my next set of batteries so thanks man! I honestly don't think you are going to find those cheaper than that. Definitely get them there!:thumb:

So the cheapest that I found the Griffin for in the United States at TBD liquids is $20.65 cents or something like that, with the discount code. Thanks! If you can think of anywhere else that is cheaper please let me know guys.

Is stainless steel the best way to go as far as building for temperature control?

It is the only wire you can safety use in both tc and wattage mode as far as I'm aware. Please correct me if I am wrong. Not saying it is the best but the only one that can do both safely.

Other wires have their advantages. Some better flavor and accuracy. The only wire I have used in tc is nickel which is supposedly the most accurate and so far I am getting amazing flavor, but being the only wire I've tried I can't really comment on the differences.

The question you have to ask yourself is, is the 25 mm 2 mm bigger build deck and 2.5 ml more capacity as well as top airflow control worth 11.00$ more and is 1 1/2 mm protruding the edges going to be a deal breaker ?

Thanks! As time has went on I have just read about the Griffin from another user that just purchased it and he said the airflow is quite restricted but he is using clapton coils and he didn't know if the airflow restriction was caused from, i guess, the claptons being so bulky. This has made me think twice and wonder if the griffin is the way for me to go. I don't want a restricted draw. I also don't want to invest in the extra money for the top airflow. So as far as the tank goes I don't know what to do, hopefully alot more people can help me understand the griffin a little better from personal experience. Mainly just knowing about the airflow.

Also, thanks for the wire setups. I have a questions about the wire setups though. Why is the Geek Vape wire has as cheap as lightnings vapes wire. Not only that but you get 5 feet more with geek vape. Is there a quality loss I am seeing or is lightning vapes just a little more pricey?

This site is great, but not updated quickly, sometimes a little delay on indexing, don't know it's manually update or automatically crawling the vendor sites.
