Alright well after adding that charger the total comes to just over $101 but I get the free shipping and I qualify for the 8 percent discount so I'm probably looking at around $95 total. I see this as a much better purchase then the inferno so thank you everyone.

I agree with Retic on the charger, even though I have the Trustfire one and haven't had any problems with it. (Note: you DO have to be very careful and attentive not to let it over charge, it is not smart charger.) I recently bought a new one to replace the Trustfire when I bought my Provari. I got the Pila IBC Charger - it's a bit pricey at $45.00, I think my & my families safety is worth it.

Quote from Provape:

"If you want the best rechargeable battery chargers available, the Pila IBC Charger is the way to go. Pila IBC Charger is a 4-stage Charger - Considered to be one of the best chargers on the market. This high quality charger has 4 stage charging.
Pila Battery Charger process:
Stage 1 - Automatic analyzing battery status
Stage 2 - Quick charge
Stage 3 - Slow charge
Stage 4 - Standby mode, trickle charge"

Anyway, I think you made a wise choice and stayed within your budget. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Now a question for the kayfun users . Any advantage to a twisted coil over a microcoil besides maybe airflow ?

Haven't tried a true micro coil yet, still waiting for my 28 & 30g wire. I don't see where twisted wire would give you better airflow, as air still has to go around the wick. Micro coils are not as long and set right above the air hole while twisted wire is a bit wider and vapor produced may circulate in the chamber a bit before going up the chimney. Which produces a better vapor and taste, I don't know and don't think the difference would be that significant. IMO, but I will try the micro coil when I get the 28g wire and experiment.

    I'm still waiting on my 30g too , I might break down and go to the BM and get some , I might take my KFC and poke fun at the countermonkey there for not being able to get his Kayfun working , if I can do it so can a caveman .

    I'm down to 10 feet of twenty nine gauge and wondering which I should mess with next. Want some 26, 28,29,30 but Don't want it all at the same time.

    What size coils do you normally build?

    I generally use 2.3mm drill bits for my coils and have found a 8-10 wrap of 28g to be stable enough to give me 1.7ohms. This allows me to use it on my Provarii as well as my Pipes.

    I can go with a smaller size coil with fewer wraps and achieve the same result with 30g so that is also an option for me in tighter spaces.

    Quick question, has anyone here used kanger t2s at all and of so what did you think of them
    They're ok if you want to look like Harry Potter when you vape , swirl and flick , I'm not a fan of top coil clearo's but some people like them for the warmer vape , the coil is closer to your mouth so the vapor is warmer than a bottom coil .

    Is it April or Hula that uses or used T2s? I have some T3s that are quite similar, but bottom coil. Both are slightly longer than Evods - can't remember how much the T2s hold, but the T3s hold about 3ml and are a bit cooler vape. I still use them now and again.

    That's Hula with the T2's. They drive me nuts.
