LOL how many of us have boxes of unwanted old vaping gear? No one wants this stuff even if free. I have old batteries and atties ...carts Can't seemed to get rid of them LOL

Maybe we need a thread over all our old junk :)
Thing is though, after thinking about it, a lot of that stuff isn't old...

May just keep.

In my experience, facebookers don't buy much but they'll trade until last call.
Yeah, I'm torn about reposting here.
Maybe, but will be more. Especially if I break it up.

I want to mention to those who are not aware about the newer flat wire for rebuilding.
I got some .3 x .8 flat stainless to try and it is nice. Credit to @Don29palms for bringing it up in a thread although he got nichrome.
I wrapped just like a fused Clapton and it compares to maybe 26g round.
I built a dual 6 wrap and it came out around.13. Because it is flat you get more surface area than round.

Does wire count toward shinyitis, I don't think it does so go buy some.

Wire is exempt from shinyitis... I will assume everyone will report back :) It does look interesting though, thanks for posting it.

Not so sure on that. The flat wire is kinda shiny to me, and I might have to get me some just because. There, an automatic qualifying shiny, buy without any real need. :D

I have a few feet of Kanthal somewhere around here. It's fun stuff to play with but it causes headaches on decks where you're trying to trap leads from the sides. Velocity style would be tough. It would work great on the Wasp, the Serpent Mini (don't have the SMM)... any deck that has the wire secured from the top.

I am starting to think a lot of you people must not take naps or watch cartoons. Every time I come back there are 2 or 3 new pages.
It's like a 12-way tag team. Or, a relay race. Or like a 24-hour news channel with a fresh talking head every hour. Hopefully with nice legs.

I love the IDEA of it, and for those less inclined to build fancy coils, a phenomenal replacement.
For me I'd rather a fused clapton. All those nooks and crannies are great at holding juice, and add proportionally to flavor via even MORE surface area than flat.
Physics is fun.
Said no high schooler ever, lol.
 
Everytime my wife catches me looking at fasttech website she asks WHAT ARE YOU GETTING NOW? Of course I say NOTHING and then a couple weeks later a package shows up. In fact I'm waiting for vapemail right now.
Lol. I get the same thing, usually followed by a no I completely ignore, and a week of the silent treatment with dirty looks after vapemail arrives.

I use to think the same thing. After I got the rectangle wire I was pleasantly suprised. I can use less power to get better flavor and better clouds. The wire is .9mm x .3mm. I want to clapton some and see how that works.

I just remind her I'm not spending $20 a day on cigarettes and she quiets up. My wife doesn't really care as long as she gets what she wants and of course she does. Happ wife Happy life!

I said way back in the genesis of this thread that my worst fear is when I'm gone, my heirs will sell all my vape gear for what I told them I paid for it.

Guess I'll have to give it a shot. I can always clapton it if all else fails.
