At what wattage? I'm new to coil building but if I put that in Steam I'm getting really high heat flux starting at 20W. Just trying to put it all together because I vape the stock OCC and SSOCC coils at around 35W all the time, am I used to super high heat flux?

Back when i rebuilt the heads the max recommended voltage was either 30 or 35 watts. I vaped at around 15-20 watts.

I've got a half dozen tucked away from my mech days, and Nine or so quality regulated. A few Liters of nic in the fridge atm, some RDA, Some RTA, A pile of clearos and coils to go with.

I was thinking more about the barter economy to come.

If everybody tucks a few chips and 510s away, it could get pretty lively down the road.

Might come in handy for those of us who get in a jam, or newbies.
would you mind linking a couple options for a replacement 510 connection suitable for the stash box for a standard regulated 18650 box mod? I have no electronics knowledge and looking at fatdaddy and other sites I am unsure of what's what. I have a fair supply of top caps and connectors for my mechs...

There are a few quality ones around.Fat daddy has nice 510's,and so does varitube.The only real difference between all of the different ones,are standard or bottom feed and the sizes,you can get them in i think 14mm,22mm,and 28mm or something like that.The 22mm is pretty standard size on a lot of mods,the only other choice is if you want it in a color or plain stainless steel,and whether you want those little air slots or smooth.

Dear Debi,

As of August 1st 2016 the price of Essential Depot's 4 Gallon VG and PG GlyCubes are going up by a minimum of 13% (from $39.00 to at least $44.00). As VG/PG customer I wanted to give you the chance to stock up and beat the price increases.

To order visit -> USP KOSHER Pharmaceutical Grade VG and PG - Drums and Glycubes. Glycubes only $39.00 until midnight EST Sunday

The upcoming Feb 2017 Federal E-Cig Regulations have caused a spike in sales to the 5000+ Vape Shops we supply. The associated demand spike across the industry has caused VG and PG prices to go up significantly. Our manufacturer and supplier is giving us one more week to purchase at our current price. Please help keep your price as low as possible by ordering at the current price before August 1st.

Thank you again for being an Essential Depot customer.

Looks like those who chose to stockpile (like yours truly) have had a measurable effect on the market. I'm glad the price of liquid nic has, so far, remained stable, you know sales have skyrocketed the past two months. I wonder if the high demand for PG and VG was due to vendors mixing massive amounts of liquid nic.... ;)

Lately, a local small batch juice maker was low on PG and had a big order due.
I lent him 2 gal PG because I wound up with too many from a picking/shipping error.
He repaid me with 2 gal VG, 1 gal PG and 30ml bottles of his three most popular flavors.
It pays to have surplus.
Another 4VG Glycube ordered for $62.40 with this code :)

Yep, it's a Clone though. I'm not able to find an Authentic.

I just ordered 3 liters of 100 mg. nicotine from RTS. It's my first order of nic. Hopefully, it won't be my last due to the heinous FDA regs. I tried to use the coupon code FIRSTORDER for the 20% off since I hadn't ordered from them before, but it didn't work. I picked up the phone and called them and learned the current 20 % off coupon code is "GIVEME20". I asked if I can use this code on subsequent orders and the customer service person said, no, this is a one time code for a first order.

Please help me out by answering a few more basic questions about using the prebuilt coils on my STM. I am a low wattage, high ohm MTL vaper.

Will I need to use an ohm meter on the prebuilts? If so, do you recommend the Coil Master 521 or the Geek Vape version?

Will I need any tools to use the prebuilts? If so, should I buy one of those coil building tool kits? The only coil building tools I have so far is one pair of the ceramic tweezers.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I've always read great things about the Coil Master 521 Tab & right now it's on sale for $24.95 (the lowest price I've ever seen). But just so you know, you don't need a meter for pre-built coils.

Thank you! I'll buy that later then. Are there any tools I'll need to use the prebuilts like scissors or clippers or anything else?

Yes! You need to test the ohms on every build!

Do I recommend the Geek Vape version?? Here is what I am working on today... faulty 510 in the Geek Vape. So NO, I wouldn't. :nah: Tried to get assistance from Geek Vape and they refused to help.

Sorry, let me clear this up... if you are talking about rebuilding them, then yes, you need a meter.
If you are just using them and not rebuilding, no.

Oh good! Thank you! Do you know if I will need to buy a coil building tool kit to use the prebuilt coils on my STM? All I have so far is one pair of ceramic tweezers.

    This was in relation to coils......

    “The Acceptable Use Policy currently prohibits use of PayPal for activities that violate applicable law or industry regulations regarding the sale of tobacco products or prescription drugs and devices. We’re replacing that prohibition with new policy language covering these types of items, as well as e-cigarettes.”

    Thanks for this. I am confused. I thought Fast Tech switched to Paypal because some credit card companies were no longer allowing vape product charges to go through. I sure hope we can find a work-around for this!! Otherwise, we may all have to elect a representative from among us and fund a trip over the Great Wall to ship all of us our vape supplies!!

    Just a reminder payPal can't stop you from buying a fasttech gift card,what you do with the card is none of their BIZ.,shipping could be a problem with customs though :unsure:
