Morning all

Working until 8 tonight when the debate begins. If you watch and the people in the audience are idiots, you can blame my work as we were the ones that helped select the audience

Morning! I hate politics, so in my opinion, everybody who is at the debate are idiots!

Also, decided to go ahead and order that telescope this morning. Thanks again, Keg, for the info and confirming what I had read!

Not a problem, hope your happy with it otherwise don't kill the messenger. Lol

Honestly if your ever in need of a cheap vv, don't be scared of the mad vapes VV box, mine is still performing like a champ, I picked up some 3.2ohm single coil tank cartos and on freshly charged batts it will push 6.3v for nearly 4 hours. Next time I can afford it I'm gonna pick up some IMR'S for it and see if it will push 7

That is before the voltage falls off, vaped 2 days on a charge and it was still pushing 5.5v

I have the "helping hands" just haven't gotten around to ordering supplies and getting any experience making coils.

I'll stop procrastinating one of these days. Maybe tomorrow. :unsure:

Well, if you want..I could send you a little start up package with some variety. Could help you decide what you will want in the future..

Your generosity, as always, is very much appreciated, sir, but I think I'll be set for a while between the extras that came with the Phoenix and the ones I ordered for the VapingZone tank. Meanwhile I plan to read up a little more on it and figure out which gauge wire will most efficiently get me around 3 ohms and just order some of that and some silica in whatever thickness the VapingZone wicks are.

Then I plan to rig up some sort of jig to wrap the perfect coil every time. I'm thinking along the lines of using a screw to wrap the wire around to ensure consistent wraps and spacing. If I can solder a little loop on to the end of the screw for pulling the wick through, I may be in good shape and be able to crank 'em out pretty quick and easy.

I'm sure I'll probably spend more time trying to figure out the jig than I would on trial and error without it, but I'm one of those "build a better mouse trap" types that just can't leave well enough alone.

I'm hoping to be able to order the kit someday and build a more stylish wood box for it

Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2

Well, if you were to do that, you might as well invest in a little higher quality "kit" or piece together some parts and go from there. There are many places to grab stuff and it should end up being not much more, as far as price. I have a few DIY mod specs that I plan on ordering the stuff for, hopefully sometime soon, and the most expensive of them is the Denali (knock off). That one still only totaled around $30 for all of the parts, even ordering from different sites.

You will probably want either a 34 or 36 AWG for a 3ohm, without doing 7 or more loops. I have 30, 32, 34 and 36 guage and use the 32 and 34 the most. With the 32, I usually end up with about 2.4-2.6ohms doing a 5/6 coil. With the 34, it clocks in at a little under 3. Guess it will also depend on how many coils you like and how thick the wick you are using is. But you should definitely keep me posted on how that jig comes along!

I'm not smart electronically so I would have no clue what I am looking at or the difference between this and that. A kit is the way to go for me

Yeah, it gets tricky at first, but the schematics that I have lay out exactly what you need. I'm not the brightest with electronics, but I can usually get by. I believe I did read, though, that a lot of those kits for their box mods end up being sub par. Like too short of wires, etc. But I suppose wires are easy enough to come by, if that should be the case.
