Lancaster man vapes his way to marathon success
From struggling to walk up a flight of stairs to running marathons, Chris Baxter is the perfect example of someone who has turned their life around – and he says it’s all down to vaping.
Excuse me human!
Pet me here!

and this too:
those Radius are so nice, i can't think of a mod with such a nice design,
they're like an 'old style' electronic device you would have had many years ago.
lost vape are doing a nice job too,but they're to stylish for me,
even though after seeing this image, I'm beginning to consider this wooden ePetite.

Interesting looking coil, what do they call it. 
And yes, the Radius is an excellent device. My two, paired with the Vika Fantasy are two of my favorite vapes.

That coil looks like how the Vaping Viking does itsaw these on the Svoemesto's Facebook page:

@Hobbs, I saw you got a doggystyle a few pages back. Can you let me know how it builds. I'm having a most heinous time with mine, though I did try to coil and wick it after my fine motor tremor is back. I think I'm having trouble with wrapping the coil legs under the screw correctly, but heck, it could be anything.... LOL, if you find any tips or tricks, could you let me know? I really want to get this tank going (mine is a clone)....
If not, no worries, t'anks.

@stols001 Anna, I was having trouble with the coils legs at first too. It helped that I started building with thicker gauge wire (lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire). That way, the coil wasn't distorted as much when turning the wire around the screws as I practiced. But thicker wire (24ga), lower ohms and higher wattage is definitely not my vape style, so I worked to find a way to make wire work that would produce higher ohms enabling me to vape at lower wattage. Don't be afraid to waste some wire learning what works for you. Heck if you use up a whole spool, you've only lost a couple of bucks ... and gained much experience and learned many things. Don't become frustrated or impatient, just keep trying and have fun.
What I ended up with was 29ga Kanthal A1, 8.5 wraps on a 3mm coil master jig. It came out to my preferred 1.8-1.9ohm resistance. But the thinner wire (higher the gauge number, the thinner the wire) was definitely harder to work with. Each time I tried to wrap a coil leg around the screw, the coil wanted to distort its shape AND when I tried to tighten the screws to secure the coil legs, the wire wanted to follow the direction I was turning the screw, often destroying the coil build integrity or distorting the coil so much I couldn't straighten it back out.
SOoooo ... I used coil master ceramic tweezers to gently but securely hold the coil in place as I wrapped the legs around the screws and tightened the screws. That solved the problem.
This is a picture taken just now, to show how I gently and securely held the coil while turning the coil legs around the screws and tightening the screws. This is an earlier 24ga build, but the only deck I have apart right now and the pic is just to show the tweezing anyway. My other deck has the 29ga build and is currently in use on my Provari Classic and don't want to take it apart and break it down right now.
So, once you get the hang of wrapping coils ... this might help when mounting the coil on the deck. With thicker wire, you can just leave the coil on the jig as you fasten it to the deck ... but with thinner wire, the tweezer method may work best. You'll just have to practice and learn how much pressure to squeeze on the tweezers so it doesn't destroy the coil but is enough to securely hold the coil and keep the wire from following the direction you turn the screws as the screws are tightened. Coiling will feel awkward at first ... waste some wire, have some fun and you'll be a pro before you know it
EDIT: When I held the coil in place, it was much closer to the deck with the coil legs more directly in line with the screws. It was only after securing the coil, that I then used the coil master jig once again, to straighten and raise the coil to a higher position as pictured. The higher position is for best airflow mainly and since it was built on a 3mm jig, the higher position helps to ensure against possible electrical shorts if the coil were to come into contact with the screw posts.

@Katdarling uses 28ga wire on her Doggystyle builds. Maybe she has some thoughts that might help Anna
This helps too when coiling LOL ... but I have old eyes and NEED it.
It comes with cord and has an LED light built in.
Found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Carson-DeskB...6&keywords=carson+magnifying+glass+with+light
And Mason ... because Doggystyle. Git it buddy ~~~

Why do people "tag" me in them GAW threads, at least it gives me the opportunity to make a " funny" post
That's how a responsible government and press choose who they portray as a face to something that saves lives, our jack wad FDA, and alphabet health agencies should take a lesson from them.

Thanks you guys that was all super helpful! I may grab some RTAs today since I feel so crappy anyway, lack of success won't bother me much, LOL. I wish I could sleep through this one, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I want that magnifier glass too, as with my magnification glasses, I keep reaching 3 feet away for what is in my lap, LOL. I really want to get Le Doggystyle working, I've coiled it so many times I'm really finding it to be French, if we can agree the French can be annoying (LOL, I did find it very French that they buried half the deck inside the deck, I mean, that part was JUST unnecessary, if funny.) I wound up watching a tutorial that was a pair of disembodied hands just disassembling the darn thing then coiling it, set to ominous background music. It was unsettling.

Well the original Animodz Doggystle IS French LOL. Good luck finding an original though.
... and that video I posted !!! ... his Japanese has a super heavy French accent. I almost couldn't understand a word he said

I'm not surprised. Johnson Creek was my first liquid supplier. I liked their Silverthorn and Tennessee. Vaped them most of my first year. Now I think it's horrible. Their association with Blu was gonna kill them They got too big and could never properly downsize after Blu told them to take a hike. Too much overhead.

One of the judges on one of the cooking competition shows I watch is french. My husband has taken to copying his accent during the show (because it comes on on one of his days off, and its one of my very important cooking shows so I still watch it even with him home.. lol) and saying "You cannot cook because you are not french!" every-time its the french guys turn to judge someone.. hahahaha
It cracks me up every time!
