I use an Aegis Solo mod for building. It reads coils very accurately.

I use an Aegis Mini. Reasonably heavy with a nice wide base, like a Solo. The Mini would have been my perfect mod except for the low capacity, but that's not a problem for building and dry burning.

That is probably what I will be doing as a stopgap. But I would prefer something that would be a bit more stable when building. Something I wouldn't be worried about toppling over when I put in a coil or rewick.

I am working on a small order for NN, already 2 pages, will try to get it reduced a bit.
And since I'm on NN, does anyone know that kind of thing when they run deals?
Nom Nomz? The only deals I know of are the flavourings they've reduced the prices on in the clearance section. Currently they have 259 on clearance.

I don't know, but a lot of folks seem to like it. But it just doesn't do it for me. I get a lot of butter taste in it.
I think it's because the LB Vanilla Ice Cream is too high% it has a buttery under tone to it to me.

I used to have one of those gadgets like a flat box with a 510 on top that read the resistance. For some reason mine didn't read the resistance consistently. It was a bit more stable than a mod but in the end I figured nothing would be stable enough to stay in place hands free while you fiddle with coils and wicks, unless it was made of a big slab of steel or something. And if you have to hold it then a mod is easier to hold than a little flat plastic box. That was my theory anyway.

The butter taste you are getting comes from the LB Vanilla Ice Cream.

LB VIC has Acetyl Propionyl in it. Acetyl Propionyl is an artificial butter flavoring.

I didn't like LB VIC. To me it just didn't taste like ice cream. I gave it to my brother. Lol, I give him all the flavors I don't like.

I have always used a coil master, when I was building. Still use it to check coils on the one build I can do and dry burn. It's on sale $5.00 off for $19.99
Coil Master 521 mini V2 - Coil Master

ETA I see the one I have they stopped making, 521 tab, lol yeah, it's been years but still works like the day I bought it....Annnnd I just noticed the mini is out of stock on their site :facepalm: :oops:
@JCinFLA know if any deals :wub:

Thanks, but the mini is the one I have that just broke. I would probably want to go with something different for my next one.

I used to have a couple of those little flat box 510 ohm readers. Both mysteriously stopped working. Have been using a mod ever since.

I always questioned the accuracy of those dedicated vape ohm readers. The only way to know for certain how accurate one is by taking its ohm reading and then comparing it to a digital multimeter. I'm happy with how my Solo reads coils. I've compared it to a couple of my DNA mods, which are known for their accuracy, and the Solo is spot-on.

Every now and then the Solo will read a coil, say at 0.77 ohms, and one of my DNA mods will see it as 0.75 ohms, give or take. That's close enough for me to call the Solo accurate.

At 2-3% I never tasted butter, but it is sure noticeable at 5%. I look forward to trying Fran's Ice Cream in a week. Hopefully no butter.

That's a problem with how I only look at vaping stuff after dinner.
I miss all the excitement.
So, you're saying he had two strikes and now got a third and so he's off in the woods with Anna?
What were the first two strikes for?
The person in the Sin Bin right now is Skeebo. I guess vaper1960 had already been binned twice before, so now he's banned.
