Man got my juice today. That was the quickest ever!! What's a good steep time on this Gaia?

I vaped it after less than a week Smitty and it was pretty good. But like any other juice, it keeps getting better with age. I'd give it a try this weekend.

He is grumpy about the low ohms, I think. But, there is nothing wrong with vaping at 0.8 ohms. I do it all the time with dual coils. It's great for a mechanical. Not too intense, but rich and flavorful without scorching the juice, once you get the wick/coil right.

I always vape Gaia that way.

Nope, I'm still grumpy that my Grand shorted out en route to the airport on it's way to Mexico last year. It's been a year, but I haven't forgiven it yet. :p

And here I was under the impression it was your vertical coil build inside an ERA that shorted, while attached to your Grand. Talk about Sub-ohming :D
Man, I need to get my story strait....

Those vertical coils are way too radical for The Maestro.

    I'm playing with some 28 ga I got the other day , nine wraps on a 2mm screwdriver gave me 1.5 ohms , wicked with cotton ball and vaping Huntsman at 11 watts in the HC3.1 , better vapor density than 30 ga at 2.2 - 2.3 with the same wattage , think I'll stay with this configuration now , though I did try a 7 wrap .8 ohm on the SVD . it fired at 6.5 watts but still a bit warm for me but it satisfied my curiosity though .

    As stated on The Big Thread, I've bought so many Woodvil and sold so many Minis that I now find myself at a shortage of durable metal mods for those two-night runs. So I've gone a little farther overboard... and ordered a Black Wrinkle/ Orange REOS Grand, and another RM2. Reo_Grand_Black__510187c2749cc.jpg
    This has GOT to be it for awhile ! Unless, of course, Rob actually builds those Mechanical Woodvil with Brass Door that he's been mulling over.

    Well son of a beach PAPAW.. I couldn't decide between the ORANGE or YELLOW door for my black wrinkle..
    I decided if I like my second round reo, I'll get a full orange if possible..
    I choose the yellow.. I need color in my life.
    Can't wait honestly.. I'm hoping it's here Friday sometime since I'll be home all day waiting.. The question of what I'll be vaping in it remains and since I don't have any 6mg HHV it won't be shadow like I wanted.. I definitely need some 0mg next.

    better vapor density than 30 ga at 2.2 - 2.3 with the same wattage

    Big coil, big vape. All that extra surface area means more juice in contact with the coil....

    Though... at the same wattage the lower gauge coil is actually cooler... heat energy is dispersed over a larger mass. It's one of the reasons those big coils can take a lot more power.
