Know those days where you can't get a build you like?

Well today wasn't one of them

Just re-coiled my Subtank rba with 26 gauge Kanthal @ 2mm (0.6 ohms) and re-wicked my original KFL+ with 28 gauge SS @ 2mm (0.49) and they're vaping perfectly on my Kbox Mini and Pico.

*bliss*

(prior to this, my Subtank build was terrible for some unknown reason - guess I'd done something to offend the vaping gods).

Vaping DIY can be such a faff at times but when you get it just right it's a joy

Yep. I love it when all the pieces fit together perfectly; the build, wicking, juice, atty, mod, etc.
I rebuilt one of my Manta V2 squonkers yesterday; 28g 316L ss, 2.5mm diameter dual coils, 7 wraps each, 3.4 ohms, cotton bacon wicks, REO P67 mod. I've done this build several times, and it's always good, but for whatever reason, this one is beyond awesome!

I had a couple days last week with the Limitless+ where nothing worked. Everything was almost but never quite there.

OTOH this morning I dropped dual 28ga parallels in a Gemini and mailed it first time.

I love all my builds using 26/32 fused Clapton wire I picked up at lightning vapes. Only wish I could get it to fit in my Kayfun Mini v3 s

Lol! I've lost count of the times I've taken an RTA apart, cleaned it, re-coiled and wicked it and it's just terribad.

Usually the wicking for me but some of these tiny decks (like the KFL+) don't seem to work great with 2.5mm coils - of course the next time I rebuild it I'll forget what my 'good' build was and invariably make something awful

I love all my builds. I pretty much am zeroed in on what works in each of my attys. It's just that every once in a while, one seems to be above and beyond, even though I may have done the same build dozens of times. Don't know why.

When a bad build or an off day happens with one build/atty, I will just put the atty away for a week or two. I usuallyfind that when I rebuild it later that I get that wow! moment that makes me appreciate it even more.

I have been vaping like crazy for a full week on my Subtank Mini with a .4 28 Kanthal and IT is amazing. Freakishly.

In fact, I am worried about even rewicking it as I don't want to disturb the RBA gods.

My Magma dripper with a .4 fused Clapton? Vaping crappy. Likely overwicked it...
