Resistance is futile. I am now the proud owner of a PURPLE Lustro and an asmodus x vapeporn vice rda (to get the dollar amount above $20 so I could use the byebyesun coupon). All for an amazingly low price of $17.76. It's an incredible deal ladies and gentleman. So come on by and see us today.

:lol:

I couldn't pass it up! For a dual batt 200 w mod...I couldn't pass it up. And since I'm now going to be squonking I can always use a $2 squonk pin rda.
That still have any colossal? I resisted all day yesterday. I’ve been stocking RTAs lately.

    I only have about 30 boxes and my problem is getting lazy. I wound coils for years and now I'm loving the drop-ins.

    I have also gotten lazy. I only used rtas for a long time and wound all my own coils. Then I read about these coilology flat braided 316ss coils and bought a bunch of those and they just happen to fit perfectly in my zeus single coil rtas. Then I got into the zeniths and zlides and bought a bunch of coils for those. Then I found that I really liked the gt ccell coils and got a bunch of those. The only coil I've wound in a while was for the ares 2 but did try four different ones in it. I have tons of wire and need to make myself start making my own coils again. It's just so easy to pop in another factory coil.

    I must be weird cause not only do I not like fiddly building coils but I have never had one that was as good. They make me cough which I know is weird. Before anyone says it is my build, I have had people who teach it, build and same thing. Perhaps it is the wire or something. I bought a bunch of those precoilded ones on FT and those are the same problem. I even tried the fancy ones, sub ohm and hated those.

    I loved that baby blue color. I made my son decide between the purple and blue and he chose purple. Maybe he knows his Momma loves purple. :wub:
    I got the royal blue, the baby blue was my second choice.

    A pearl white colossal and a royal blue lustro, the colossal will see use immediately but the lustro and rda goes into the stash.

    I have over 600 pre-made coils. If I change my coil every two weeks that will last me over 23 years. I haven't actually wound a coil since 2015. I also have 100 feet each of kanthal and ss (didn't remember buying that!) just in case. I got 28 gauge and now I wish I had gotten some variety.

    :lol: Well I'm trying to spread the joy. I've got some things on my wishlist. You know I'm not that much into color...especially bright color...but I could not take my eyes off the purple one. What is it with me and purple lately? Those colors were BRIGHT. :blink:
    Oh,I love purple too. It's my second favorite color

    Hey, if you can afford the coils, go for it.:)

    What gauge wire does everyone prefer? I think I would like thicker wire than 28 gauge. I know the answer depends on your desired ohms, space in the atty, etc. Just curious what would be a good gauge to have in my stash.
    My sweet spot has settled into 26g. Vaping .75 to .8 ohm single coils at 12-13 watts seems to be perfect with 26g. I use Temco A1 kanthal

    Should I choose to coil again my old favs were 26 and 28.

    I predominantly use 28g SS430 but I would like to have some 26g for ease of wrapping.

    If using kanthal I take two strands of 32g and put them in a drill and twist.

    *edit*
    Technically I use one long strand folded over a mandrel with the open side attached to the drill chuck, spin it until it wraps so hard it breaks the wire wrapped around the mandrel.
