I wrap my coils at 3mm and use a 3/8 I think drill bit to hold it to place it on the head but the STM is pretty easy if you use 26 guage wire it fits between the post and the screw and just bend it a little and tighten the screw. It's made for 26 wire and I use spaced coils which are a little more difficult, I hate doing it but I manage.

That's what I like about the Temco Ti it is so easy to work with and I am going on 3 months with the same coil but have to rewick it and brush it off under hot water every 3 weeks or so. I am planning on recoiling my attys before we leave and they should last till we get back. Mom has one of those instant hot water things and that will clean them right up.

I'm going to do things a little different this year. Plan on making 200ml of my 5 fave juices before we go and that should be more then enough. I will take a 10ml bottle of each flavor just in case and my syringes and wire and coilmaster and KGD and parts and charger 4bay. My other liquids should be waiting for me when I get there.

And being totally different..

Yes you are totally different and we :wub: you for it.

ETA: Checked myfreedomsmokes. One liter of 100mg is $50.

My wife and I have gotten nic from MFS often and have no complaints about taste or color. We get 100 mg/ml nic a liter at a time. The other vendor we use for nic is RTS vapes. Buy all our nic in PG base. And keep most of it in the freezer. Dilute some down to 18 mg/ml nic at 50/50 for our base. Then we target 12 mg/ml nic for vaping once flavoring and some more VG is added to stay around 50/50 PG/VG.

Hi, been gone a while. Returned home to several disasters That almost completely took the wind out of my sails. About all I've been doing here is bumping the petition thread. I did wander over to the BP and saw some of the photos from the get together. Looks like you guys had a great time! :)

Here is one video from today



And this story flat out rocks. What the E-Cigarette Black Market Will Look Like if FDA Stomps Industry

Tutu! So glad to see you back!

That newscaster didn't give him much opportunity to talk. She insisted this was all about the little stuff (labeling and age restrictions).

But, the article is pretty good.

It just infuriates me that we have to settle on fighting to move the date from 2007 to 2016. We shouldn't have to be fighting for ANY of it!

I'm not as much worried about hardware as I am nic. I've tried dropping my nic level and been mostly unsuccessful. I may have gone from 24 to 21, but that's not even a dent. Most of my nic is at my sil's house, so don't even know for sure what I have, but 2-3 liters. I figure I need 8 total.
Yup. Nicotine first. Hardware second. Get your .... moving!

I have lots, but still keep being tempted to buy more. After all, what if my brother's house catches on fire? Maybe I should have 2 separate stashes as added protection.

Advice I would stay away from the toptank version because it doesn't have a juice control to shut it off. IDK for sure if it leaks or not but the Subtank mini is all I use. I have 12 of them and enough parts to rebuild if I have to. Excellent atty and easy.
Legs my toptank I just bottom fill exactly like the subtank mini and it works exactly the same. Yes if you topfill it can leak. I only mentioned it because legit Kanger subtank minis are getting hard to come across.

Subtank Mini and TopTank version by Kanger? They seem to be everywhere. I was watching a review last night from a person who actually preferred the mini. I don't mind small-volume tanks since I do most of my vaping at home and have easy access to refills. Is one or the other easier to rebuild?
The reason the build deck is easy because you do not have to wrap the wire around a screw. It just lies straight into a precut channel and the screw is tightened down on top of it. Don't let the word mini confuse you it is a fairly large tank. It is just Mini because it is not the 7ml (or was it 8) of the full size one.

Much better price. I'm assuming you've tried it and found the taste OK?

ETA: Checked myfreedomsmokes. One liter of 100mg is $50.

I've used both, and both are fine by me :)

Although ECigExpress ships it in opaque white poly bottles, which take less room in the freezer....

As said, in PG is best for long term. Easy to mix down to your preferred ratio.

Like Mike (and probably many others!) I'll make a large quantity of my working base at a little above my preferred nic level and a little below my preferred PG/VG ratio. (That's a little higher on the the VG.) All my flavors are in PG, so adding them drops the nic a little and ups the PG a little.

Myrany, how do you wick it? Tight? Loose? Legs? Thanks!

Same way I do anything else with cotton. I stick the cotton through and give it a bit of tug. If I feel a little resistance but not enough to move the mod it is screwed into on my table it is good. THen hold the ends up and slip the outer cover ring of the build deck over. Cut off the excess cotton about 1/2 inch above the outer ring. tuck the tails down in front of the juice holes. Put the lid of the build deck on. From then on treat it like any other bottom fill tank.

Well I checked on the Kanger Subtank mini and it has been discontinued and replaced by the top tank.
yeah that is why I said they are getting hard to find. But you can use the toptank exactly the same as the subtank as a bottom fill and just ignore the topfill option. Which is what I do with it.

I see the more I thought about it why would it leak by topfilling it and not bottom filling the juice holes aren't at the bottom. I don't really understand.

It is the juice holes on the coil/deck that are the issue. If you topfill those holes are still sitting in juice so when the vacuum is broken the juice rushes into the coil flooding it. If you bottom fill you actually remove the coil with the base of the atty so it is not sitting in juice.

I have seen a video on the toptank that says if you vape the contents of the tank till the juice level is below those juice holes on the coil it will not leak. I have not tried that. I just bottom fill and call it done.
