Been buying from Jacobs for a while and love it.
Nichrome V Wire (Chromel A, Nichrome 80)

1000 ft for the cost of 15 ft from Anarchist? I wonder which one is the better buy? As GG would say, "vape budget hands!" LOL. But seriously though, I will have to try out various ones and then make my own determination. But I do appreciate the options posted as this is all new to me. I am so out-of-the-loop with too many things.

If anyone is interested in a Hobo 3.1 for $55.99, act fast.

Authentic HOBO V3.1 RDA By HOBO Customs THE LATEST VERSION!!

30% off code BLKFRIDAY30OFF
That's pretty awesome, you're really on the ball with the deal finds!

After a couple weeks with my hobo, I like it more and more everyday. Side airflow atomizers don't really jive with me very well; it always seems like getting the coils positioned properly always gives me issues

With that said, I've rewicked a few time already on my dual fused clapton build and everytime I rewick, I move the coils to a slightly different position; I think I've found this baby's sweet spot!

Flavor is probably the juiciest I've ever experienced, the vape is really really wet, it's pretty beautiful. Nice warm, juicy vape full of flavor with a nice smooth draw.

Leaking is not a problem whatsoever, spitback is also not an issue either.

Still not my favorite atty but I get along with more and more everyday.

Isn't everything authentic that we buy generally low production/high profit margin? AX1? The list goes on :) ...
Hmmm. Sorry I'd have to disagree with you there. The AX1 didn't look 120$ since day one, nor did it in its review I saw. It was nice but not that nice. MCV is more of a status symbol these days, I don't think they make one piece under 120$ if I'm wrong correct me. Which it's your money so hey do what you like it's not my business. But it looks like a hobo 3.1 for probly 30-40$ more. I love it, MCV is always last to the party with there ideas and charges the most lol it makes no sense. They make beautiful stuff sure but not that beautiful. The NarDA could of easily been over 100$ but it wasnt, now that is something I would of spent the money on, why? Cause it was somewhat innovative in a sense, nothing that comes from MCV is innovative at all, and they charge like it's pure gold. Sorry but there not a company i quite care for. And as a disclaimer I mean no disrespect towards you or what you like, just voicing an opinion, I know stuff gets taken out of context through the web.

I was glad I could snag another one. I sold one about a month ago because it had quite a bit of cosmetic damage and I couldn't deal with looking at it, lol. Funny thing is, I got more for it than what I paid for this one. I also snagged a couple of drip caps from the Hobo Customs web site. Code blackfriday knocks off 15%.

I'd go ahead and do it today if you can. In addition to the 15% off the caps, shipping is free today.

I just remembered how bad your posts are for my wallet! I have never known another poster to be so likable, yet so close to going on my ignore list! Just kidding, bud. ;)

lol... when I run out of money I have to spend vicariously through my ECF homies.

I've done pretty well this Black Friday. Only purchased the Hobo, drip caps, and 120ml of juice. I still have money in the vape budget but I really need to save it for when my name comes up for my stab wood squonker. I'd hate to reach my spot on the list and be broke. :eek:

Mr Mann. I have used it all and my personal experinces go like this. Lighting Vapes wire is trash, Jacobs is decent, Temco is decent but KP is amazing. The wire is actually really cheap, ok it may be a few more bucks then Temco but its still really cheap. I mean 500ft of 26g is like $22 and it gets stupid cheap if you want high gauges or 1000ft spools like myself haha. AN80 is amazing wire, its simply a top notch N80 but its amazing. You have to decide if its worth it haha, personally all my builds I build for me use AN80 in some way or another.

The MCV attie is waaay to much

So if AN80 is a 10, is KP like a 9? I can deal with that.

The airflow slot milled into the deck gives it a bottom flow pull. The draw and flavor profile is rather unique when combined with adjustable side airflow and the widest chuff cap I have ever seen on a 22mm RDA. All good, bro ;) . We are all here under one thread to bring all things RDA to the table. I'm just relaying a bit of first-hand experience in response to the suggestion that there appeared to be a current trend away from large post hole RDAs. As an aside, I just realized that Hobo Customs is two streets away from where I work. Might have to drop by sometime.
