    I didn't get around to my marathon mixing session yesterday since my mother wanted to go to Camping World. I'm mixing today but I got such a late start that I don't feel up to mixing any recipes. I'll just stick to sfts and one shots this time, so that I'm certain that I won't run out of juice. I had a couple of new recipes I wanted to try. Maybe next time. I wish I could mix a few at a time instead of having to do marathon sessions, but it is such a hassle to pull out all my gear for just a few bottles. I don't have cabinet space or counter space to keep it handy, so it stays in boxes in an upper cabinet. Oh well, it is what it is. I have a roof over my head and I'm grateful. vape break is over. Time to get back to mixing.

    Maybe you can get the two recipes also.

    For the same reason I DIY(save $$$)... I build my own coils in an RDA, $20 gets me enough cotton and kanthal to vape for a 6mo to a year.

    True. Rebuilding is the most economical way to go.
    $4 for a coil thats gonna last a week.

    I guess it depends on the coils you use. I pay (paid) ~1 buck per coil and they last for weeks if not months. Z and Sceptre coils.
    Some people pay for convenience. Just surprised so many DIYers still buy coils.

    Convenience is good. It's so convenient. ;)

    Besides, after 12.5 years of experimenting, rebuilding, trying new things, chasing that dream vape, I've found what I like and it works for me. When I rebuild, I always worry that my build will not be perfect, that something will leak or clog or just not work well. Too much anxiety. :lol:

    You worry too much. Buy some pre built and stop worrying.

    Time for another vape break. I got the nicotine, PG, and flavors in all the bottles. Just need to top them off with VG. I don't actually measure that, I just fill to the shoulders of the bottle. Then cap and label them. I don't like the VG part, too messy.

    I agree that postless decks are easy, but I never found a postless MTL atty that I liked. What do you use?
    Right now I have a Recurve V2, a Fat Rabbit Solo, a Dead Rabbit 3 RDA and a Hellvape Helheim RDTA

    Actually, the EHPro KF2L is my favorite of that type.

    My very first Kayfun. Loved it at first, but then my vaping preference changed toward more airflow. Don't know why. We all started with those tight cigalikes.
    Have a couple V4s (and newer variations as well) - in the stash box. Yeah, WAY over engineered!!

    So do I. Two of them. Haven't used them in ages. But I can't part with them quite yet. :lol:
    I do also use Coppervape Skyline (clones) as well

    Couldn't get it to work for me. My vapocalypse RTA stash consists of Dvarws, Ares II, Hastur MTL, and Hellvape MD. Just in case.

    That's a bummer. I think the reason the videos were likely taken down is because 3 years ago or so Youtube made a rule that vape videos were not allowed to have links to vape-related sites in the description. Some reviewers went back and removed the links on old videos, some didn't. So Youtube's police bots eventually find these videos and take the video down automatically, and the channel gets a violation ding. Sad part is, if as channel gets 3 violations within X amount of time, your channel gets taken down for good and it takes a lot of effort to get it back, if you can get it back at all.

    I'm glad I downloaded certain videos a couple years ago so that I could reference them if I needed to in the future, PBusardo's KF4 video being one of them. Downloading vape videos was part of my stocking up strategy.

    That's what I suspected. Because a K4 video is the most dangerous thing that can be found on YT. :facepalm:
