Well, been wanting to get into drippers and I only want to make a big purchase once.

All prices are shipped.

Just ordered up a sigelei 150 watt box mod with silicone case ($94)
4 Sony vtc4 18650's and 2 plastic batt cases ($41)-why the hell are these SOO expensive?!?
Magma clone rda off ebay with drip tip ($16)
Nitecore i4 quad charger-$18

~$175 for everything shipped to me. Should have every thing next week sometime. Hopefully it was worth the Dough!
Just wanted to show off my purchase. Pics when it all shows up!

Ill be selling my aspire cf mod to make up some of the cost of this setup.

I have a 100' roll of kanthal wire and a roll of sterile cotton from building coils for my aspire atlantis.
A fancy rebuilding jig, a ohm meter (using my dmm right now) and some other misc odds and ends are on my order list but I think this is a good start for now lol.

If anyone has suggestions on coil builds for the magma for flavor I'd be intereted in hearing them (referably 26g coils because that's all I have on hand...for now)

You'll need a name change to SuperChargedNitroDude!

You got a lot of nice stuff coming there.
Those batts may be expensive compared to some of the others but if the 4 last you 2 years it does work out to only about $1.65 a month for power. Not to mention the peace of mind knowing you're running quality.
At those prices that same kit would run us Canadians around $218.00 CAD.
Now you have to play the waiting game.Cheers.

Cafe-I ment the batts themselves-not the cases lol. Cases came free from rdt with the set of 4 batteries for $41 shipped.

I HATE playing the waiting game. Currently waiting on a new part for my f250 too-sucks!
Now I just got done ordering these goodies today-most probably won't ship til Monday so hopefully get them by the end of the week. HOPEFULLY.

Going to probably end up selling my aspire cf mod and its two 18650's and single battery charger to make up for some of the funds I spent on this new setup.

Still waiting on shipping-nothing came yet :(

But I found this at marshalls today-supposed to be a makeup organizer but works pretty well for a vape organizer.

Nice hardware I own all the same stuff that magma is great for flavor and holds a good amount of juice just don't build it real low or run power really high due to the small chamber it will give a very warm to hot vape I don't run mine past 65 watts and even then that's almost too much. You'll love the flavor but it is by no means a cloud maker. It's easy to build too I recommend 26 gauge wire that's what I use in mine. Good luck and enjoy

Nice choices there dude...the Sigelei 150 is the bees knees and the magma is flavor king. As far as batteries either those vtc4's or samsung 25r's work great in the Sig150. 25r's cost 6$ a pop on illumn and free cases with two batteries. As far as coils go dual zipper coils work amazingly well for flavor and vapor production out of either my plume veil or my magma. You wont be disappointed no matter what build you use
 
That will be a nice setup. 26 gauge was the first wire I worked with. Not too big not too small. Drippers are nice for quick changes when trying different juices. I see the Magma is a single coil RDA. Eventually if I was you I would look into a twisted coil made from 28 or 30 gauge. I just started playing with twisted coil and the taste is pretty good. (In my limited experience.)

The waiting game is tough!

The Sony batteries also have a higher pulse amp rate than the others so you get more for your money I've used Sony since day one and I've tried others they just don't seem to hang in there like my Sony's. By the way the magma is a dual coil addie, I have a really crazy build on mine when I get home tonight I'll take a pic and try to figure out how to post it.

OK, you just blew my mind. I have like a hundred little bottles of flavors and juices and odds and ends and I desperately need an organizer but I didn't want to blow 75 bucks on one. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle. Thanks.

At the moment I'm using sterile cotton-a very kind member here is sending me some rayon to try out though!!

View attachment 413486 these are what I call v12 coils and it is a dual build on my magma

That looks awesome! How is it? Can I get some build specs/a how to?!

Yeah! I've been looking for something to organize the quickly growing pile of vape gear, my fiancé wanted to go to Marshall's and as we were walking around I spotted these things! They had a few different ones all a clear plexi type material, one had a cool little drawer that I almost went with but I got this one instead for $12. The one with the drawer was $20.
Only gripe is its not huge, but it does hold a bit of stuff.
Most te juice bottles pictured are 15ml. The big ones in front are 30ml.
The little slots on the right side fit 22mm mods pretty okay, they wobble some though, so I'm thinking of drilling little holes for the 510 stem to fit into so they sit flat and don't wobble.
The back right has a big square slot where ill be outing my sigelie.
It works pretty good for my needs now but I think ill outgrow it and need a 2nd one or a bigger one sooner then later lol

1: I'd have recommended getting a few gauges; maybe 10 foot each to try out; since you bought 26 gauge, having some 28 and 24 might be usefull to compare. I have some 34,32,30 and 28, and some ribbon (flat wire - in theory it is the best)
For me, my preferred gauge is turning out to be 30... on my drippers anyway; I suspect I'll try 28 next time on my flash-evapor tank.

2: So happens I lent out my magma today to somebody making the switch; gave him a couple ego's and evods 2 weeks ago; it had a single coil, about 7 wraps, 2 to 3mm ID, horizontal coil, 1.2 ohm; that coil has been on there since about November last year; he looked very happy; much more cloud than a cigarette; had it on a poldiac mech with a sigelei vw kick set at about 8 watts.
