I use an ohm meter sort of like this. VAPE BAGZ That's the cheapest price I've found anywhere. Too bad I had one already when I saw that. I can't get the hang of a multimeter, so if I try something new, I usually have to try, try again. If I stick to 6 (1Ωish) or 7 (1.2Ωish) wraps of 28g kanthal around 3/32" I still test it but it's usually in the ballpark of where it should be.

With the MM you have to touch the lead tips together and get a reading, mine is .3 Then subtract that from the coil reading. The other thing is finding a spot on the legs that you think will be your length. It all goes wonky when I assemble the coil in a topper housing. Haven't figured out a way to measure the housing to predict an outcome.

Got my DV order. complete says they shipped that order. Tomorrow hope to get the other two.

When I first started doing coils I used this to get the hang of it. I still use it almost every time. And definitely ever time I'm doing something new.

There is also an app for iPhone but I can't remember the name of it. GrimmGreen had it in his vlog a couple weeks ago. I'll find it if someone wants it.

Also this is great if you have lots of packages getting delivered like I do. Between vaping and ordering baby stuff online, we get about 3 packages a week. I'd forget about something if I didn't have that app.

Let us know how that NN Pancake is Claire! I got a few of their flavorings but passed on that one for some reason. I made some new coils for my RDAs this morning. I'm getting a LOT quicker at it. Used to take me about 20 minutes, now it's about 5. PPP. lol

Will do. What flavors do you have?

So far I have the honey tobacco concentrate and really enjoy it. Also have sample of mayan mocha that was mixed with zero nic -- liked that as well as the chai. Only one I didn't like was apple pie. But I'm not a fan of any apple vapes.

vaping one day at a time

I got the honey tobacco. I diluted the whole bottle in 30ml PG to make it easier to measure. I thought I used the correct amount of the dilution, which would have been 3% but it seemed weak (but good) after 2 weeks so I added 2% more a few days ago. Waiting, waiting as usual.
Banana cream pie, patchouli vaniila and guava/papaya too. I get major perfume taste from the BCpie and vanilla that seemed to get worse with time. If anyone wants them, let me know. I won't use them. Just because I get perfume doesn't mean anything. Evidently I have issues. lol The guava/papaya was pretty good.

Big news. Started Breaking Bad. I have a few Latino versions of Pinkman in my classes. They're my favorite kind of student. I think we're on episode 5.

I'm really liking how we can just post about whatever here.

My fourth period asked if they could have a potluck on Monday for today. I said sure, assuming they'd bring chips. Oh geez, you guys. I should have taken photos. We had a better spread than a wedding. They brought carne asada and all the fixings, chicken salad, potato salad, fruit salad, a slew of desserts, etc, etc...students always surprise me. I never allow parties in my classes, but I ate so good today. And yeah, idk what kind of wedding would have that, but still...

Got my replacement MVP today and my rolls of kanthal. Still waiting for the MVP and VV3 order. Using my cheap RDA to try some 555 that I bought over a month ago and hated it. Some of the perfumey taste is gone. Still kinda fruity. Too many flavors now. I have 5 devices in front of me and don't know what to vape. OOOo some chocolate.

Hey Paul. This is my setup for NASCAR this weekend. Leaving tomorrow morning.

Not the shirt, but the dripper and lanyard. Who's your driver?

I'm not a fan of Kyle Busch's personality but he is undoubtedly one of the best drivers ever. His bro Kurt has won us over since his metamorphosis into a loving, caring partner and father figure. Always like Clint Bowyer and Carl Edwards. I've been following Kyle Larson since the K&N race a few years ago and he amazes us with his talent and attitude. Would love to see him do well.

Bubba Wallace is a fav in trucks. Lots of young talent coming up. So competitive now.
