Three lifetime supply of rayon, the big box :)

Not that we're likely to be hamstrung on wick, but that was the smallest box I found locally, and was about $15 at that time. No big loss if I didn't like it, and never run out if I did. I did :) Of course, I've pif'd a bunch as well.

I have had a few Spinner types wear out, but those - and, imo, any with built-in batteries - are disposable anyway.

Have yet to have a regulated mod go south. Heck, even my antique SVD with the squishy button still works, although it doesn't see much use these days. (Actually, none of my tube mods do.) Cloupor Mini, at almost 7, still going strong. And I think my Ola X mods will last as long as any Provari, the way they're built and what they're built from. (Yeah, I know, heresy. :lol:)

Not overly concerned about display failure, although of course any electronic device can fail. But I think in most cases the fatality will come from drops. And not drops of juice, although those in the wrong places will surely bring problems, too.

    You should be able to thin them by pulling some strands out.
    Yeah, I know. I would lazily like something instant. Since I don't know what I'm doing yet, it's hard for me to judge how big a strip to cut, and reviewers' tips are often kind of vague. I'll learn.

    I'm very grateful that I miraculously wicked my first coil ever exactly right (well, not quite my first--I've thrown a couple of wicks into the Berserker but I only use that for testing flavors, so it never gets a good workout). The next two were not as successful, so it was nice that my confidence got a boost right off the bat.

    I don't even remember the first RBA I ever coiled and wicked but I think it was the Kanger Mini Subtank RBA.

    Before I started bringing some stuff to my daughters I did a count on some of my coils. I have 7 boxes of the older square coils for my Subtank. I have no idea why I have so many coils when I have 6 RBA's for them. The coils can be rebuilt also but it takes a little muscle to get them apart the first time. Well if the day comes when I can no longer coil and wick the RBA's I guess the coils will come in handy. I still like those old tanks They haven't got much love lately cause I've been suck on the Zenith and Zlide.I'm really impressed in how long the Innokin coils last.

    If you watch Daniel DJLSB Vapes he always usually measure the cotton pads & lets you know the width he uses along with coil id.

    Somewhere between here and there
    It’s driving me crazy that I can’t find the seven or eight tobacco flavors I bought on my last bcf order. I don’t want to buy am going to have to go through all four cases and make sure I didn’t put them away without adding them to my paper list.

    Kayfun was mine. I'd been rebuilding PT type heads for a long time when the light finally came on that there were bigger fish in the sea :lol:

    When I first started vaping I was a duel user for a short time.9 years ago today I had my last cigarette.
