They changed it here this year.

Interesting. When does school start over there? It's after Labor day over here.

RF order just arrived and I put in an order at AVS. Quad core fc 10pk, Aliens 4pk, staggered fc 10pk. Spools will have to wait till next order. Considering giving Ni80 another shot, don't think the Engine II will accommodate an 7-8 wrap ss tri core build. Looks like a 5 wrap will be the sweet spot for multi wire builds.

i want to get some more Aliens. Juat rebuilt my Serpent. Used Ni80 not parallel (I tried) 7wraps @.5 ohms. I thinned out the wick this time and it seems to be working great. I need to start on the old 3 post attys. There is 4 of them. Simple single wire builds for them. Not looking forward to those. Eventually I want to change out the old attys but they still work good.

Mid August. I don't really like it.

Leaned how to build on a 3 post. Pita but after that I can build on most anything. I just kept the Baal for sentimental value, pif'd the Mutation (don't remember what version it was).

So far I agree with what was said by Zophie, Matt and Mike. Really solid mod. 5 1/2 inches from drip tip to base. The metallic green looks better in person than online. Loaded with my morning routine juice.

@Skunk! help please. Would this be a good option for a dual build? Or do you have a better option (no single wire)?

Everything is easy after those. My favorite of the 3 post was the Doge2. I was able to stuff a FC 6wrap dual coil in one. I need another pair of precision snips before I build on the 3 post attys. Never had a Baal. They look pretty cool. I had a couple different Mutations and didn't like either of them.

Fused clapton in the doge.

That mod looks nice! Very clean design. How ya like it?

@Letitia have you ever seen how people use one wire to make the dual coils in 3 post attys? It is really cool. I never could pull it off.

To me as a newb the BAAL flavor was wonderful and I loved the chuff cap. Haven't revisited it since my first velocity deck. lol

Same here. I wasted half a day at work watching and pausing yu videos trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Hmmm it would have a low resistance. For single it should be good you could get some big coils you would probably have to do 6 wraps to get it up above .2. I am guessing. Plug the numbers into a coil calculator as a dual setup and that will tell you about what one coil would be.

Fire up is instantaneous. There is some spitback below 70w, but it isn't that hot. All of the threads are really smooth, no burs. I love the morning routine juice. I think steeping it helped, I can taste the tobacco and coffee flavors, pretty strong. This will be a great "everyday vape" device.

Glad you seem pretty happy with it Jim.

Very much. Thanks for the reccomendation. I was using it earlier, and it looked like a fog rolled into my living room. The 2500mah battery will last for a while.
