I usually get about 4-6 months on a coil. Prefer SS316L 26/36 clapton or 28x2/40 fused 2 core SS316L. Occasionally I like running Ni80 Aliens and Ni80 TriCores. Also like 27g and 26g simple round SS316L, but those I'll only run for 2-3 months. I never dry burn any coil beyond a very dull orange. None of my coils ever gunk up either, which I attribute to using juices with overall low percentage mixes.
I use round 28g SS316 for everything, 6 wraps at 3mm. Except for one KFL on a Provari. Like to keep it simple. Used to dry burn the hell out of them until I read something here years ago. Now I pulse them on a mod I use for coiling set to 5W. You can see vapor evaporating from the coil before it glows at all, I just pulse it until the vapor stops. That way they stay nice and shiny.

I have one caramel mix that gunks up a coil in a week. It's not even dark, just pale yellow.

I have an idea to make a modification... i hope to find a right spare parts... so i can make it... we will see... !?
Well at this point i can't make it !
The concept is for a flashlight head with 510 connector, so we can attach it on a mod (at least 25mm... !? ) !
I saw a few of them in the web, but i don't know about their quality... !? Probably if they were from a proper flashlight manufacturer should be even better... !?
Also i saw a soldering iron tip with a 510 connector, probably it's a nice little tool for some small projects... !?

Something in between these lines... !?

I’m not looking forward to more snow. I really want this addition to get started. Unfortunately I can’t change the weather so I have to wait.
It should melt quickly, at least. The sun is getting potent again.

Uh, I think the flashlight head might require a specific voltage, so unless you still have a mod that will do VV - and that you can lock at the right voltage - it might not work.

    Neither side of the covered floor gets all day sun and most of the middle part gets no sun. There’s been about an inch in that middle part for quite awhile. Both sides have melted back so we can see the tarp but the middle refuses to melt.

    Typical Friday afternoon here. Everyone waits until the last minute on Friday to try to get stuff or ask questions. I had a customer call a little before three wanting next day air on a part. Nope! Cut off for shipping is 1:00 from the manufacturer.

    Good Afternoon all, got a late start today. I think my body's hard drive is corrupted!

    Well, rats, then.

    Was just about to post "Joyetech Espion Silk".

    It’s the only odd thing I have unless you want to count the Augvape Foxy.

    I sent that to you a long time ago
    Proves your memory is better than mine. I did use that one awhile as well as the Foxy one. Most of the stuff in that box has never been used, the pv’s anyway. I have used most of the tanks.

    I still have two of those Augvape mods somewhere
