ok thanks Jef & Al, good stuff to know!! 120ml of flav!! WOW!!..... that's hardcore

One of the first things I'm doing after I move is getting a small fridge and freezer for my nic, flavors and juice.

last order I opted for the Absinthe (Anise) and Red Hots concentrates... so have 120ml of stuff that only gets 1-4 drops per 15ml... and that 1oz cognac blend that only gets 1-3 drops per 30. I think I have 1.7L of TFA stuff left presently

lol.. it builds up fast.. we only have an upright fridge freezer, the only freezer space left was the ice drawer so i bought some 200ml glass flasks for the nic. >>Creamsupplies - Padova Flat Flask 200ml they have 500ml aswell

yeah, but with six coils you're gonna have A LOT of wire to heat up (is also why thinner wire, to get the higher res without too much metal). 0.08 is the lowest you really wanna do on those Sonys - six 0.5s would vape great.

there is a big difference between a legit 0.2 single and six 1.2s


so that you can fit a fat wick in it, and to minimize wraps for a shorter coil and better wicking. Also, I suppose I'm counting my 2mm coils as macros.. I usually build my micros pretty small, so they seem huge

verticle... just cause it would look cool with those trimmed-top wicks. A lil forest of vapor trunks that you drip onto individually
:D

I'm going to give this a shot this evening.

Well I really love throat hit; when I was using the small T3S tanks, it seems 'chasing throat hit' was my main occupation, which was why I started off vaping such a high level of PG. But it turns out that I actually *can* vape PG, even though I'm asthmatic, whereas VG is like stuffing a thick woolly blanket into my LUNGS and then trying to breathe thru it.

The only time I want softer TH, or actually, no TH at all, is when I first wake up, all the rest of the time I want SERIOUS TH, but not so serious that it catches that spot in my throat and triggers the coughing. What that has meant for me is that when I first wake, I have to vape something sweet or fruit-flavored, with no TH of its own at all but a fairly high nic level (10mg-ish), and at the lowest possible power setting -- 3.2v on the ego twist and ARO winder I generally reserve for morning use -- so there is very little heat, and even very little vapor to choke me -- I also don't inhale at all, when I first wake, but do the mouth-only hits, and gradually deepen it into my throat so I can have nose-exhales -- once I can get to that point, I can even risk a few shallow inhales almost into the lungs. I gradually turn it up till I'm at or just below 4v, at which point I switch over to my regular Virginia, which has great TH even at 6mg (though I use 9-10mg early in the day), using a kayfun on either my Sigelei, or one of my vv3's, at 6w, and then I can continue raising power till it's at 8.5w or so -- and I'm finding that with the rayon wicking, I can even go past that 8.5w point to 9w or maybe even higher, for those times when I want a bit *more* TH.

I'm just glad there is so much flexibility with vaping, to allow me to do all that to customize the vape for my own needs; as a smoker, my only option was to wait at least 30 mins after waking to have my first smoke, and even then it would bring on the 'cough-up-a-lung' session. But I had to learn almost from the start that if I want to avoid those early-morning cravings, due to low nic levels, I'd better get to vaping the minute my eyes are open -- so that by the time I'm groomed and dressed and hit the kitchen, no cravings at all. :thumb:

the first time I tried 100% vg it gave me asthma, but vaping a heavy pg makes me really dry and can't solve it even with a lot of water.. I started DIY and gradually went from 40%vg to 75%vg and now it is working great, no more dry mouth and no more asthma for the, gradual increase was the key.

And I too feel that a hot vape gives me asthma that's why I love my fruit menthol mixes with sub ohms

Hey there folks, I'm feeling in a tinkering mood today and plan to build a new coil tonight when I get home from work. Just want some feedback on my idea and whether people of a more seasoned variety than myself think this is a good idea, or at least one worth trying

Plan is for it to be in 28ga NiChrome 80, should give me a resistance of 1.5-1.8 ohm based on 2mm posts making up the 'frame' to coil around and them being only 1mm apart

Will this work (I'm certain it will)? Will it be effective? Has anyone tried something like this before?

I seem to remember something similar by Xobeloot, but he is in Afghanastan right now so he doesn't visit often.
 
22g nickelchrome 8 wrap dual coil. Vapor is outrageous. And the flavor is there. This is one single piece of wire very carefully wrapped while attached to the center post.

Because he needs silly names for his coils. Every time I get asked by people if I learned how to build this from rip trippers video I just laugh at them. Been using this for months before that video. Lol idgaf what its called, it vapes better than any dual coil setup I've used. Bravo to you for coming up with such a beautiful yet simple build. My lungs thank you.
