I broke down and ordered a flint. It’ll be perfect for my trip to visit my sister. And the least likely one for her to “borrow”... she likes big, dual battery honkers.

Did anyone use the tank that came with it? Thoughts? Af/ coil longevity etc :)
I wasn't going to but I don't have any wire thin enough that I can fit a high enough resistance coil in the Hastur. It seems it won't fire .7, which is as much coil as I can fit.
The tank that comes with it is really quite good. Has a slide top which I am not crazy about, but that's the only complaint I have Has 5 AF settings from too tight for me to Restricted DL.
I have only had it a few days so I don't know about coil life. I have been using clear non sweet juice so I should get a lot of mileage from them. They suggest using min. 50% PG juice in them.

Nicomore M1 has been coiled, wicked and loaded.

First issue is the coils have to be bent into a staple shape to fit.

Then you have to hold the one coil in while placing second one in ,THEN you can tighten down.

the 2 coils I made ohm out at around 1.3 for the 2 combined.

nice flavor, plenty of cloud.

A bit airy for my tastes, mainly do MTL or a restricted DL.

But HEY for $10 I have now done a dual coil and have a really neat looking RDTA.

My :2c: review.

I don’t have any more trouble with duals than singles. Losing the screws would be innovation I’d be interested in. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that.

My husband used to like going to estate sales and auctions and buying up all the baby food jars and cigar boxes full of nuts, bolts, nails, and what nots. Makes me wonder what folks will think when they see my boxes of vape stuff... what in tarnation did she use all those tiny screw drivers and spools of wire for?
I'm still looking for someone to bequeath my box of CelluCotton to. :p

A lot of it is coil art which I do not believe offers anything more other than a great Instagram posts – if anything, their given mass usually means they perform poorly depending on the application. I have received some fancy *ss coils as a gesture of appreciation from retailers. Some can work well but you have to be very selective on how they are applied.



Yes, their prices do seem steep especially in comparison to other spooled Clapton type wire. But in comparison to pre-made coils it is still very reasonable. I was drawn to Lightning vapes because they are the only ones that I was able to find (with limited effort) that utilize such a high gauge wrap. And because I found them locally avoiding shipping fees. I do not have the patience to make my own so willing to pay for convenience
And don't forget, they sell on Amazon and ebay, as well. For folks who use that.

What RL tank would you compare wide open to? Also, What’s the lowest it’ll fire? It’s 22mm, no? I have a couple 22 tanks I can get higher builds in if I have to swap. I’ve got some 50/50 base mixed. I can add more nic to “podify” the juice. Or just try some mint in the tank,it’s not too gunky. Unless the top slide is likely to open in my pockets. Don’t need to be wandering around St Pete looking like I’ve sprung a “leak” ;)

The low coil they sell for it is 1.2 ohms so you would probably have to build at least 1 ohm. I am using 26ga. SS and this coil doesn't want to fire.

I am new to the restricted tanks so I don't have much to compare it to. Sorry. It is tighter than the Serpent if that helps? I love mint juice in pod mods. You don't necessarily have to up the nic, It can put out some vapor. I take 3 or 4 puffs with salts and I am good for a while. Here"s a chart with coils and power levels.

It's funny, the main Geekvape site says the mod's range is 1 - 3 ohm, but the geekvape store site says 0.5 - 3 ohm.

At any rate, mine does fire a 0.84 ohm coil in my doggystyle -- which looks all right on it:

That does look nice. I haven't had luck getting mine to fire at over .5. I need to pick up some 28ga. wire and try for a 1+ ohm build.

You and me both :lol:. The more I use, the more there seems to be in the box. A true lifetime supply from what I can tell
A friend of mine was helping out the troops in Afghanistan who needed vape supplies. I sent a box of CelluCotton:p

    This one, a Primo Fit, is a very conventional vape device. I got it for one single reason: it is cute.

    How do you like the Fit? I have mine probably several months and believe it's losing mah. Just got two more from the ecf store. Really like them. Used to really like the Exceed tank that came with but fell out of love with it.

    I do like the Fit just because it is so handy, and because the look of it. I use it with an MTL tank at low power, as I believe that, while it is rated for 80 W, it works well only up to 40 - 45 W, above that power the runtime becomes too short.
    I have mine since few days so I can't comment on the capacity loss you have noted. As I have many other internal battery mods, I can say the capacity losses can normally be felt after the first three months of daily use as main vape. For mods used more sporadically, it can be six months or more before you notice a drop of usable time. For the first two weeks, the capacity can actually improve, as happened to me with the Aegis mini.

    I don’t have anything that compares to this tank... as for the slide fill, mine is still new and very pocket safe so far. It’s been my experience that some of them loosen up over time though (stupid freemax, I’m talking to you) so I’ll update if that happens.

    Can you even still get a doggystyle? All I’m seeing are clones. Something about them turned me off (not the clones in particular, the style in general) but I can’t recall what it was.
